Canon XA25

 

Canon's newest pro camcorder hits all the right spots, but it doesn't offer the cinematic look of a DSLR.

While the XA25 is a fantastic camcorder, you need to keep in mind what sort of filmmaking equipment $3000 can get you. The XA25 is great if you're splurging for your first pro camcorder. The HD-SDI terminal means you can output uncompressed video...

We upgraded our camera at our church and there is no comparison! This camera has tons of features and great picture. The price point is exceptional as well. Highly recommend!

Audio Output Quirk

 

I have been very pleased with the quality of the camera. The overall construction appears to be quite sturdy, and the flexibility that multiple zoom rockers affords is a welcome relief from my previous camera. However, I have found one small quirk that...

Great small studio camera

 

We have two XA25 cameras and one XA20 in our studio for web broadcasting via our TriCaster 460. These cameras are perfect for our needs and deliver a nice, clean image.

Perfect for streaming and EFP

 

We use the XA25 for its ability to capture video in a non-live streaming format for corporate events. After the event the mp4 video is stream-ready for VOD delivery on a website. As a bonus, the XA25 has great quality for field production projects,...

Solid - Affordable

 

Cannon is known for putting out great products, and the XA25 completely lives up to the Cannon name. The 20X digital zoom is impressive. And the duel XLR audio add on is a must have for solo shoots. Thanks for the great price and product, B&H!

Great Camcorder For Local Events.

 

I have been using the Canon XA25 Professional HD Camcorder to capture local events. The camera is a very high quality unit, feels solid and performs great. Although packaged in a small chassis, it has a respectable feature set.

Strong Tool in a Small Package

 

Love the image quality and ease of use of this video camera. This was purchased to do interviews and lecture capture at a University. Lightweight, easy to use and lots of great features. We use the HD-SDI out to go straight into a streaming box that...
