Integrating some of Canon’s next-generation imaging and wireless technologies, the new XA25 HD and XA20 HD professional camcorders from Canon provide a combination of professional features and optics in a compact design.
Well suited for run-and-gun style videography or electronic newsgathering (ENG), both models weigh 2.6lbs, allowing for extreme mobility and portability. Both camcorders feature multiple shooting-assist functions and enhanced key components, such as a newly developed Genuine Canon wide-angle 20X HD zoom lens with an ENG-style “rocker” zoom control and built-in real-time optical image stabilization.
The Canon XA25 and XA20 HD camcorders are equipped with a new high-sensitivity 2.91-megapixel 1/2.84in HD CMOS image sensor and the new Canon DIGIC DV 4 image processor.

Users can simultaneously record 1080p HD video at 60p in either AVCHD Progressive (28Mb/s) or MP4 (35Mb/s) format or record at a lower bit rate and transmit MP4 (3Mb/s) format video to cover and quickly upload breaking news via wireless FTP file transfer. The cameras’ dual SD slots allow for relay recording for long periods without interruption.
