Canon XA70 UHD 4K30 Camcorder with Dual-Pixel Autofocus

I got this one because I have used the XA cameras for years and it made sense to keep the same batteries and cards. Over all it is a good camera. The quality is very good. It is slightly larger than the other XA's but it is not cumbersome. To be picky, I wish the settings were all in the same place since I am so used to the ones on all the past XA's. If you are used to 60p and are filming fast moving subjects there will be a blur filming in 4K since it is only 30 at 4K, you can still shoot it in 1080 in a pinch if you need it. Again over all I really like this one, the quality of the images are great. I have not done dim light shooting yet. I am looking forward to see what this 1 will do compared to the others.

I am very pleased with this camera, small enough not to be noticed but powerful enough for broadcast television. Overall it's a fantastic camera.

Great camcorder with professional functions and quality. Love the USB -C ports. I can hook up a power cord with a 30w output charger and use it for hours without stopping. Easy to operate.

Great features and great canon color, with the 1 inch sensor for easy bokah shots

Seems to be a well built unit and it does a really good job with video. Built in audio is average, so an external mic is necessary for me. Biggest gripe is that you need to remove the tripod mounting plate to change the battery; this is a real pain for me due to how/what I generally shoot - simply a poor design choice. Other than that a solid 4-4.5 unit and a decent value.

Seems to be a well built unit and it does a really good job with video. Built in audio is average, so an external mic is necessary for me but it has both XLR and TRS options which is nice. You do not need to remove the mono/tripod mounting plate to change the battery, as some have noted. If you have an adjustable mounting plate (like the ones on my Manfrotto units), insert a small object into the open slot and slide the battery catch. This will release the battery and you can just insert a new one. Solid camcorder for the price.

Perfect camera for paranormal investigations. Has everything you’d need for recording sessions. Black and white or green for your infrared videos. Meets the specifications I wanted for a great quality video. Recommend buying the higher mah batteries for longer recording times.

Excellent camcorder. It does exactly what it needs to with no problems. Very easy to navigate the menus and the image quality is amazing. Could not ask for a better camera.
