Canon XA25E Professional HD Camcorder (PAL)

The Canon XA25E Professional PAL HD Camcorder is a compact "run-and-gun" camera with HD-SDI output that is suitable for ENG, event coverage, and independent and documentary filmmaking. In addition, the SDI port provides a broadcast-standard interface that allows video to be transmitted longer distances over thinner, BNC-type cable which is particularly useful in live, multi-camera event applications. The camera features a 1/2.84", 1920 x 1080 CMOS sensor that captures video at various frame rates including 50p, 50i and 25p. The integrated 20x optical zoom lens has a 35 mm equivalent zoom range of 26.8 to 576mm, and features an 8-bladed iris to help create softer, more natural looking bokeh.
