About the Canon XA65
Made for professionals
If you’re looking for a lightweight professional field camcorder, Canon has you covered. The XA65’s compact build and ergonomic grip help you capture high-quality footage on the move. And it offers versatile connections and multiple recording formats, so you have the freedom to livestream or shoot in a way that suits the needs of your project.
Power and precision
The XA65’s 1/2.3″ CMOS image sensor pairs with Canon’s DIGIC DV6 processor to deliver 4K video with vivid color and detail even in low-light conditions. This camcorder’s lens boasts a 20X optical zoom and 800X digital zoom with 5-axis image stabilization to minimize camera shake. And the aperture has an eight-blade iris that creates natural highlights and a pleasing background blur. The XA65 also has fast, precise hybrid auto-focus with automatic face recognition, as well as infrared settings to capture footage in the dark.
User-friendly features
An intuitive ultra-bright 3-1/2″ LCD touchscreen has shortcuts built in to quickly access key settings, keeping you from burning time stuck in menus. Use the display to set focus by touching the AF point on the screen.
The dual memory card slots let you record simultaneously to both cards to create a backup or automatically switch to a second card if the first has run out of space. Plus, you can record in either XF-AVC or MP4 in the camcorder’s full range of resolutions and frame rates, giving you increased storage flexibility.
Versatile connections
This camcorder has a wide array of connections, from its multi-function shoe to a mini HDMI output. This makes it easier to connect to other devices and add accessories to adapt to new applications. The handy USB-C port allows you to livestream HD video directly to your computer or connect the optional GP-E2 GPS receiver to record location data. A 3G-SDI terminal passes clean high-definition signals, including video, audio, time commands, and recording commands, to compatible professional equipment.
You also have plenty of options for recording audio. The XA65 has a built-in mic, but if you want more precise sound control you can use one or more external microphones. Connect a mic with its own power supply to the 3.5mm terminal or use the dual XLR inputs with optional phantom power. You can even select the format, either 4-channel linear PCM or 2-channel AAC, and manually control your audio recording levels.
