Canon XA40 Professional Video Camcorder
XA40
For fast performance in both capture and transmission, excellent for the dynamic world of Electronic News Gathering (ENG) as well as journalistic, documentary, corporate and higher education video production, look no further than the XA40 Professional Camcorder.
Featuring an advanced 4K UHD CMOS Pro Image Sensor, a powerful DIG!C DV 6 Image Processor and a phenomenal 20x High Definition optical zoom lens, the XA40 camcorder captures expansive, high-quality 4K UHD video. Dual SD card slots that are compatible with universal SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards provide super-high capacity and ultra-fast data transfer.
The compact XA40 includes a detachable handle for low-angle shooting and portability. Functionality is further enhanced with the addition of XLR inputs and an external microphone holder when the handle is attached. Combining a lightweight design, a 1.56 million dot electronic viewfinder and a 3.0-inch capacitive touch panel LCD, the XA40 is comfortable to operate for extended periods of time and in numerous environments.
When there's no telling what or where the next story will be, the XA40 is ready to go. A remarkably versatile, powerful and compact camcorder, it delivers the quality, speed and connectivity to drive a 24-hour news workflow.
The impressive image quality is enhanced by an 8-blade Circular Aperture design, which helps to avoid the "starburst" effect of point light sources in non-circular aperture designs. Out-of-focus areas are smooth, natural and appealing. An endless-type focus and zoom control includes user-programmable direction and sensitivity modes. Zoom speed can be set to either a variable or constant (with 16 levels) speed setting, with Fast, Normal or Slow zoom speed levels.
For incredibly sharp and detailed high-definition video recording, the XA40 Professional Camcorder features a 1/2.3-inch, 8.9 Megapixel 4K UHD CMOS Pro Image Sensor that captures approximately 3840x2160 pixels. Thanks to the sensor's high sensitivity, the XA40 helps provide vivid, accurate recording through an excellent signal-to-noise ratio.
Multiple recording modes, resolutions and frame rates make the XA40 Professional Camcorder creatively flexible and adaptable to virtually any news-gathering environment. It can record to an SD card in 4K UHD and Full HD resolutions using the MP4 recording codec, at multiple bit rates- and even record simultaneously.
An HDMI terminal supports FHD 60p output, which can be connected to a standard external SSD/HDD recorder, enabling conversion to ProRes and DNx formats for efficient editing and storage.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The menus are pretty easy to navigate, and I actually forgot it was a touch screen LCD display as well, so that was an added bonus. LOL Still learning some of the features, but overall I highly recommend it. I can't wait to use this more professionally for what I do.
Also for this money I had expected much better slow motion recording but 0.4 is the best you get and you have to greatly reduce the resolution for that.
Annoying is that when you change resolution it forgets some settings like digital zoom on/off.
Another disappointment is that there is no USB video output so you have to get a capture card for the HDMI out port.
The IR option is nice and works well.
The fold out display could do with some anti glare so you can see it better in bright sun light. You can turn it around but that still makes it very hard to see sometimes.
It has no GPS build in, which again for the price, is disappointing to me.
Simple to use and professional quality productions.
