Canon XA55 UHD 4K30 Camcorder

4K Camcorder with 3G-SDI output; capable of long recording time, excellent cost-performance

A light, compact 4K camcorder, the XA55 is equipped with a 1.0-type CMOS sensor and the DIGIC DV 6 image processor. Capable of recording in 4K UHD 25p in both XF-AVC and MP4 formats, it features the Dual Pixel CMOS AF system which helps users easily achieve the highly accurate pinpoint focus that 4K recording demands. The high-resolution Canon 4K video zoom lens supports the large sensor, and in combination, they enable the production of excellent 4K footage. The lower power consumption enables a shooting time twice longer than that on the XF405, which uses the same battery. This, combined with its lightweight mobility, makes the XA55 a professional-standard camcorder ideal for long hours of shooting.

Features

Beautiful, High-quality 4K Footage With The Large 1.0-Type Sensor

Dual pixel CMOS AF For Accurate, 4K-Ready Pinpoint Focusing

The ultra-high resolution in 4K means that it is more obvious than ever if the shot is the slightest bit out of focus, or has the tiniest hint of focus seeking. Dual pixel CMOS AF is a technology developed by Canon, wherein each image sensor pixel is equipped with two photodiodes, making it possible for all pixels to perform both phase detection and imaging. This enhances its ability to accurately establish the location of subjects and achieve precise, tack-sharp focus — perfect for enhancing the quality of your 4K footage. Features such as Touch AF, Face Detection AF and touch tracking further support the creation of high-quality 4K video.
