Our Verdict
The Canon XA30 camcorder has all the qualities that a professional broadcast cameraman needs in their equipment. Weighing in at just 1.2kg including the battery, this is perfect for those moments where you just need to grab a camera from the van and capture the action - a detachable handle adds to that convenience if wanted.
Whilst the hardware is lightweight, its capabilities are not; Full HD at 60p/24p can be recorded in AVCHD at 28Mbps or MP4 at 35Mbps, on top of modes created solely to minimise compression loss in key areas (Highlight Priority Mode) and an expanded dynamic range mode - dynamic range of up to 600% - to counteract any over or under exposure (Wide DR mode).
The brains of the operation is the impressive, and entirely new, 2.91-Megapixel CMOS HD Pro sensor which is partnered with Canon's Digic DV4 Processor, and Intelligent Optical Image Stabilization in order to record high quality in low lit environments.
