During the annual NAB tech show, Japan’s own Canon announced they’re putting out two new professional-grade XA camcorders for the year – Their newest XA30 and XA35. These camcorders feature some of the latest video recording capabilities which should come as great news for most documentary producers or event shooters. Simply judging by their respective price tags, you can easily come to the conclusion these are aimed at professionals (for the most part), although enthusiasts shouldn’t face problems trying to make use of them the same.
