Canon XA70 UHD 4K Professional Camcorder

The Canon XA70 UHD 4K Professional Camcorder is a compact, lightweight ENG-style camera built for documentary, journalism, broadcast, and field production professionals who need reliable 4K image quality, professional audio, and advanced monitoring tools in a single portable body. Powered by a 1" type 4K CMOS sensor and DIGIC DV6 image processor, the XA70 delivers sharp UHD 4K footage at up to 160 Mb/s in XF-AVC format and over-sampled Full HD output, with Dual-Pixel CMOS AF and face detection for fast, precise autofocus and touch-to-track subject control. The 15x optical zoom lens with a nine-bladed circular iris produces natural highlight rendering, while Wide DR gamma mode extends dynamic range in challenging lighting conditions. Professional audio is handled by two built-in XLR inputs with phantom power, a 3.5mm stereo mini input, built-in stereo microphone, and 4-channel linear PCM recording with manual and automatic level control and headphone monitoring. The XA70’s OSD time-stamp recording embeds date, time, and timecode directly into every frame — making it the preferred choice for legal, law enforcement, and compliance recording applications. HD livestreaming via USB-C (UVC) enables direct streaming to Windows or macOS without a capture card, while dual SD card slots support simultaneous backup and relay recording. Slow motion at 5x in Full HD, fast motion up to 1200x in 4K and HD, infrared mode, built-in ND filter, zebra, colour bars, and test tone complete a professional monitoring and production suite.
