Down to the specifics

Compact and powerful
Weighing approximately 730g (body only), the XA45 is a highly compact 4K UHD camcorder. Despite being small, the combination of a 4K UHD 1/2.3-inch type CMOS sensor and DIGIC DV6 image processor delivers sharp 4K UHD images and incredible Full HD images thanks to oversampled HD processing – meeting the accelerating demand for quality content.

Streaming The Right Way
2020 saw the acceleration of live streaming across a multitude of sectors. For many, such as education and corporate, there’s a need for reliable filming equipment that can stream in high-quality. With its 3G-SDI output, this is just one challenge the XA45 is a direct response to.

Versatile audio options

“Professional audio recording is also supported by the XA45. A detachable handle/grip contains two standard 3-pin XLR connectors for external microphones, supporting two or four-channel audio recording. It also has a line, mic and 48V Phantom inputs and an on-board stereo microphone is available as is a standard 3.5mm Stereo Jack plug which can also supply power to an external microphone” ” said Amine Djouahra, Sales and Marketing Director at Canon Central and North Africa.
