Canon XA25 is an entry-level compact professional camcorder with dual-format recording, a 20× zoom lens with optical image stabilization, and an HD-SDI output for a wide range of shooting scenarios. A 3.5″ OLED touchscreen simplifies control during shooting, and Wi-Fi supports remote transfer of footage. Recording supports Full HD up to 60 fps. The 26.8 mm wide-angle lens with f/1.8–2.8 aperture enables close work with subjects, while the dynamic optical stabilizer compensates shake in five directions for smooth footage. An 8-blade iris and EDM technology provide pleasing bokeh.
The HD CMOS PRO sensor (1/2.84″) with 2.91 MP effective pixels, the 1.23M-dot rotating OLED touchscreen, and a 0.24″ EVF (1.56M dots) with 45° tilt support efficient operation. The DIGIC DV4 processor enables AVCHD recording up to 28 Mb/s at 1080/50P and MP4 up to 35 Mb/s at 1080/50P. Dual card slots enable simultaneous recording of HD and lower-resolution MP4 for fast delivery. MP4 supports slow and fast recording.
Canon XA25 provides comprehensive audio control with two XLR inputs and supports Linear PCM and Dolby Digital audio. Built-in microphone options and a 3.5 mm mini-jack are also available. The key difference from the Canon XA20 is the professional HD-SDI connector for standard broadcast equipment and professional transmission systems such as monitors and wireless links. An infrared light source in the handle supports night and low-light shooting. Built-in Wi-Fi supports transfer via phone, iOS tablet, or FTP at up to 150 Mb/s and also supports remote control without apps.
