If you’ve been following Canon’s new release cameras these past few months, you’re likely familiar with their newest “XA” line featuring camcorders meant for professionals: the XA30 and XA35. Compared to their respective predecessors (XA20 and XA25), this new release is certainly a major upgrade in terms of internal mechanics, namely their newest HD CMOS Image sensor that boosts the camcorder’s signal-to-noise ratio to well over 3dB. This in turn helps produces sharper images (especially in low light) when you line them up side by side. Note: At no extra cost to you, we may earn a commission for purchasesRead more
