The lightweight frame of this camcorder houses a treasure trove of features, making it a worthy successor to the renowned XA45 model.

Enjoy an enhanced viewing experience with the camcorder's 3.5mm LCD capacitive touchscreen display, which offers crisp, vibrant visuals. The high-resolution, tiltable 0.36" OLED EVF further enhances your viewing experience, whether you're framing a shot or reviewing footage.
