Camera Overview — Canon XA75

The Canon XA75 is a professional camcorder built around a 1-inch, 8.29MP sensor powered by the DIGIC DV 6 image processor. It captures 4K video at up to 30fps, with supported frame rates of 24fps and 30fps, and records in both MP4 and XF-AVC formats. The 10-bit color depth pairs with Canon Log 3 and Wide DR color profiles, giving videographers meaningful latitude in post-production color grading.

ISO sensitivity runs from 100 to 3200, keeping noise manageable across a controlled range. Autofocus combines phase-detection and contrast-detection in a Hybrid system, and also supports Face Detection AF and subject tracking, making it practical for run-and-gun documentary or event work. Image stabilization uses Optical OIS alongside a Digital IS option.

For monitoring, the XA75 offers a 3.5-inch LCD at 1.56 million dots and an OLED viewfinder at 2.36 million dots with a 60Hz refresh rate. Audio is a strong suit, with both a 3.5mm mic input and dual XLR inputs for professional-grade sound. Connectivity includes HDMI, USB-C, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.

The polycarbonate body measures 109 x 84 x 182 mm and weighs 900g. Storage is handled via SDXC or SDHC cards, and the BP-820 battery provides approximately 2 hours of runtime.
