This camera has features that just set it above all the others. The zoom lens has two settings. One for normal zooming and another for extended zoom in the manual mode. The lens does not pixelate the video like some lesser-quality electronic zoom lenses. The camera can be set to record 4 channels of audio. There are 2 internal mics and inputs and controls for 2 more external mics using the connectors on the handle of the camera. The camera produces 48 volts of phantom power for microphones that need it to operate. Low light levels produce good video, too. There are built-in neutral density filters that work well on sandy or snowy scenes. Battery life is shown in the viewfinder to alert you when to change batteries.

Great Camera that does everything asked of it. I work for a school so we already have 8 XA's of different years and they take a lot of student abuse and keep on going. I would definitely recommend any of the Canon XA series.
