The Canon XA11 is a super compact and portable professional video camera that captures high quality Full HD footage with full manual camera control. It has a 5-axis image stabilisation system, an impressive 20x optical zoom, and dual XLR inputs that allows you to attach external microphones for better sounding audio.

CMOS Image Sensor

With a reasonably sized 1/2.84-inch CMOS sensor, the XA11 captures sharp Full HD footage with low signal to noise ratio and an excellent colour depth. Working in conjunction with Canon’s powerful Digic DV 4 image Processor this delivers the performance required to write simultaneously to the dual card slots using a variety of codecs.

Full HD Image Quality

The XA11 captures stunning high-quality video footage with a 1920x1080 resolution at up to 50 frames pers second with an impressive 35Mbps bitrate. The large size of the pixels on the image sensor allow for better low-light collection making the camcorder even more versatile.

Massive 20x Optical Zoom

Boasting a massive 20x optical zoom, the handheld camcorder can record far away detail as well as wide-angle shots with the press of a button. This gives you the freedom to capture a massive range of different subjects without the complications of changing lenses and cleaning sensors like with traditional interchangeable lens cameras.

Image Stabilisation System

Designed to keep your shot steady and remove camera shake, the XA11 camcorder has an inbuilt 5-axis image stabilisation system. This allows you to record super smooth video and sharper images and there is even the option to use a combination of both optical and digital stabilisation for more effective stabilisation.

3-inch OLED Monitor and EVF

Compose your shot from any angle with precision using the large fully articulating 3-inch touchscreen and electronic viewfinder (EVF). OLED technology ensures that the screen is viewable in a wide range of lighting conditions and the EVF allows you to check your framing in extreme sunny conditions.

Portable Video Camera

The Canon XA 11 hits the sweet spot between imaging quality and convenience, with the camera weighing only 745 g. The folding design of the LCD ensures that the camcorder packs down small while at the same time protecting the screen while packed away.

Pro Quality Sound Options

Almost unheard of in a camcorder at this price point the Canon XA11 offers dual XLR audio inputs mounted on the top of a removable handle. This allows you to connect external microphones and wireless systems to capture the best quality audio possible, while also providing individual control over the gain of each input.

Dual Card Recording

Boasting two SD card slots ensures that you can be confident that your footage is instantly backed up on two cards. With support for SDXC cards you can install extreme high capacity cards and record in a variety of different codecs.
