The Canon XA10 HD
Professional Camcorder is a fully featured, ultra-compact pro video camera that
shares nearly all the functionality of the XF100, but in an even smaller,
run-and-gun form factor. Sporting a 64GB internal flash drive and two
SDXC-compatible card slots, the XA10 can record literally for days without
running out of memory. Able to capture AVCHD video at bitrates up to 24Mbps,
the camcorder's native 1920 x 1080 CMOS sensor also lets you choose 60i, 24p,
PF30, and PF24 frame rates for customizing the look of your footage. Bringing
further professional oomph to that footage is a Genuine Canon 10x HD video
lens, with lowlight sensitivity and a 35mm equivalent zoom range of
30.4mm-304mm. The lens features a 58mm front filter thread.
Like the larger XF100, the XA10 also provides full image
customization, cinema looks, infrared recording (for night shooting), and
HDMI/component/composite output. Other professional features include dual XLR
inputs, relay recording, waveform, color peaking, and zebra patterns. But the
camera has a few extra tricks up its sleeve, including a detachable handle to
allow for truly low-profile shooting, and a 3.5" Touch Panel LCD that adds
the extremely useful Touch & Track, Touch Focus and Touch Exposure
functions, which make pulling focus and adjusting exposure dramatically easier.
Combined with its other focus, exposure, and composition aids, this makes the
XA10 an ideal blend of portability and professional control--the perfect tool
for nearly any on-the-go production.
