The Right Camera for the right Time
This camera added to our abilities for streaming our services by providing different camera shots while streaming. We coupled this with the Mini ATEM Pro and remain quite satisfied with the camera and capabilities.

Great camerra for those on a budget and wanting superb video
I have used these XA cams for several years now and have been recording concerts in concert halls and schools with great results. I highly reccomend these "XA" style cameras for any use.

Great camera/not 4K - registration problems
I love the camera... 4 star is a result of being able to register it on the Canon site where I bought it. I "maybe" should have purchased th XA40 for 4k. Still a great purchase.

Poor view screen.
I purchased this camera in December 2019. It has been used entirely for simple home videos so far. Most features of the camera are fine. However, it wasn't until the summer of 2020 that I discovered that the view screen is completely useless in daylight and the optical viewfinder cannot be used with eyeglasses. Since I have astigmatism, diopter adjustment isn't helpful. Also the optical viewfinder is very small and has to be nearly perfectly centered to be visible. At this level, I would have expected a view screen that is daylight visible. The technology is there. I had hopes of doing a mini-documentary about our local community, its sights and sounds, but that is now dubious due to the difficulty I have using this camera outdoors. I cannot give this camera a heartfelt recommendation unless it is intended entirely for indoor/studio use.

Excellent Bundle - High Quality and Adorama is the perfect company to get it from
Adorama answered all of my questions quickly and the purchase was easy. I was very impressed with the quality of all of the items received in our bundle. I am filming "how-to" videos for our website and it is absolutely perfect for this operation (and I a sure for many other tasks as well). The bundle was shipped quickly and I received it in a couple of days after ordering it...and in perfect condition. I highly recommend it to anyone

Don't buy the kit!
Several items in the bundle are cheaply made. The battery charger didn't work out of the box! There is no information about using the provided lens filters. Overall, the value of the bundle seems poor. I would recommend that you buy the camera which is very good with many features. Forgo the bundle!

Not better than my iPhone
Though I love Canon video and camera equipment, I was disappointed with this. Not because of this model or the manufacturer, rather because if I'm spending $1500 for a video camcorder, the quality must be substantially better than the iPhone in my pocket. Maybe it's just that 1080p technology is not for everyone. The video is certainly acceptable, but the picture captures from the video are terrible, especially in low light. I wasn't looking to shoot a movie for the Cannes Film festival, but I certainly expect better quality from what I can get off my iPhone without spending another $1500. I returned this camcorder and will purchase a 4k with 1" sensor. Now, the question whether I would recommend this product depends on the needs of the buyer. If you are looking only for a video in good light without picture captures, this may be for you. Otherwise, maybe not.

NOT Compatible With SlingStudio
Our church purchased a Canon XA-11 in May to use during live streaming our services during COVID-19 pandemic, and it was great until we also went with SlingStudio in July to do a multi-camera livestream and then it became useless. The Canon XA-11 is NOT compatible with SlingStudio and we had to set it aside, and use a church member’s Nikon Z6 and several iPhones and/or iPads.

Powerful and Simple Right Out of the Box
We are using the Canon xa11 as a live stream camera for our worship services. It has been a great camera offering great picture quality and simplicity of use. We are excited to be also using it as an interview camera to capture testimonies and a "word on the street" camera to get feedback from our community on issues and questions that will be played at our worship services. The ability to plug a hand-held mic or a shotgun mic into 1 of 2 XLR inputs and record directly onto the SD card along with the video is huge for these purposes as well. It has been a powerful addition to our ministry right out of the box.

The low light video capabilities are just amazing. I've videoed many a hunt at dusk and it has always be grainy. Well that's not the case any more. High resolution 30 minutes after sunset. The boom mic picks up the lightest of nature sounds. You can not go wrong buying this video camera.
Canon XA11 Professional Camcorder
Whether recording in government halls, wedding venues, events or corporate environments, the XA11 Professional Camcorder delivers high performance and quality in a powerful, versatile and portable package.
An advanced HD CMOS Pro Image Sensor, the powerful DIGIC DV 4 Image Processor and a versatile 20x High Definition optical zoom lens with a focal length range of 26.8-576mm combine to produce Full HD content of incredible caliber. The Wide DR Gamma and Highlight Priority modes help ensure a natural range of tones and colors for realistic and eye-catching results.
Recorded video remains stable thanks to the XA11's reliable 5-axis image stabilization system. Two XLR terminals mean sophisticated and convenient audio recording on two separate channels. Ideal for a wide variety of applications, the XA11 can open new recording possibilities with its outstanding video quality in a powerful, versatile and portable package.
Genuine Canon 20x High Definition Optical Zoom Lens
The XA11 Professional Camcorder features a Genuine Canon 20x HD Zoom Lens that provides a highly versatile zoom range with 35mm equivalent of 26.8–576mm, and a minimum object distance of just 23.6 inches (60cm) to help capture powerful recordings near and far. The impressive image quality is enhanced by an 8-blade Circular Aperture design, which helps to avoid the “starburst” effect of point light sources in non-circular aperture designs. Out-of-focus areas are smooth, natural and appealing. An endless-type focus and zoom control includes user-programmable direction and sensitivity modes. Zoom speed can be set to either a variable or constant (with 16 levels) speed setting, with Fast, Normal or Slow zoom speed levels.
Advanced HD CMOS Pro Image Sensor with Impressive Low-light Performance
For incredibly sharp and detailed high-definition video recording, the XA11 Professional Camcorder features a 1/2.84-inch, 2.91 Megapixel HD CMOS Pro Image Sensor that captures approximately 2136x1362 pixels. Thanks to the sensor's high sensitivity, the XA11 helps provide vivid, accurate recording through an excellent signal-to-noise ratio.
Superb Low-light Performance
Featuring a low-luminance noise rating of +3 dB, the XA11 Professional Camcorder is able to capture clear, sharp images with incredible detail even in low light.
Full HD 1920x1080 Recording Capabilities
Multiple recording modes, resolutions and frame rates make the XA11 Professional Camcorder creatively flexible and adaptable to virtually any production environment. It can record in Full HD resolution in both AVCHD and MP4 recording codecs, at multiple bit rates, and even simultaneously.
Simultaneous HD- and Web-version Dual Recording
Dual Recording offers format choices that are useful for various post-capture options. The DIGIC DV 4 Image Processor and dual SD card slots enable simultaneous recording in AVCHD format and web-ready MP4 format, as well as MP4 at different bit rates.
Native 24p Recording
A must for serious filmmaking work, Native 24p matches the frame rate of a traditional film camera, giving the same cadence and temporal motion for "film-like" quality.
Outstanding Image Reproduction
The XA11 Professional Camcorder represents Canon's Full HD System, delivering truly excellent image quality and reproduction in a wide range of shooting situations. With its 20x Optical Zoom HD Video lens, its HD CMOS Pro Image Sensor and the powerful DIGIC DV 4 Image Processor working together to capture and process the images at hand, the XA11 is positioned to deliver HD video that is nothing short of stunning.
3.0-inch LCD Capacitive Touchscreen with Tiltable Electronic Viewfinder
The 3.0-inch 460,000 dot LCD display provides vivid colors and high contrast. A wide-view angle (over 80° at all angles) aids in composition versatility, and regular chromaticity adjustments, which are prompted by the camcorder, help ensure correct brightness and faithful color reproduction.
The 0.24-inch tilt-type color electronic viewfinder on the XA11 Professional Camcorder has 100% field of view, and 1.56 million dots of resolution help ensure critical focus adjustment, with peaking applied if necessary. A joystick located to the right of the viewfinder, where the thumb rests, enables control of camera settings on the viewscreen without having to use touch panel controls.
Dual SD Card Slots
SDHC/SDXC Card-compatible
The XA11 Professional Camcorder is compatible with universal SDHC and SDXC memory cards, which provide super-high capacity and ultra-fast data transfer. When AVCHD/MP4 recording has continued for 12 hours, it will automatically stop.A variable bit rate is applicable in each case.
Double-slot SD Card Recording for Instant Backup
For safety and convenience, double-slot recording allows you to record simultaneously to each of the two SD memory card slots, providing an instant backup for your footage.
Relay Recording for Continuous, Long-run Recording
With Relay Recording, the XA11 Professional Camcorder automatically switches video recording from one SD memory card to the other when the first memory card becomes full.
Wide DR Gamma (600%)
For natural and realistic-looking image capture that faithfully represents the scene at hand, the XA11 Professional Camcorder features a Wide DR Gamma mode. By suppressing overexposure in high brightness areas of the composition, this mode helps achieve a wide dynamic range of 600% to produce seamless tone gradations, resulting in smooth detail, accurate color and virtually no blown-out highlights.
Highlight Priority Mode
To capture highly saturated, realistic colors and to convey gradation characteristics as perceived by the eye, the XA11 Professional Camcorder has a Highlight Priority mode that achieves effects similar to HDR modes in other camcorders. By reducing the mid- to high-brightness compression of the standard gamma mode, the Highlight Priority mode helps to prevent loss of detail in high brightness areas. Designed for display on a bright LCD TV, videos captured in Highlight Priority mode should be shown at a high brightness setting to help ensure accurate portrayal of the effect.
View Assist Function for Highlight Priority Mode
When using the XA11 Professional Camcorder in Highlight Priority mode, the View Assist function increases brightness and medium tone gamma in the camera's viewfinder or LCD panel. This allows images to be displayed with the brightness and gradation with which they are being recorded or reviewed, helping to ensure the subjects look natural and realistic.
Intelligent Optical Image Stabilization System
The XA11 Professional Camcorder offers a powerful optical image stabilization system suited to help reduce image blur in a wide variety of shooting situations. The different image stabilization options can be selected manually, or Intelligent IS can use an automatic detection system to identify the proper stabilization mode for the situation. Featured on the XA11 is Dynamic Mode, which provides electronic correction of roll and tilt.
Dynamic IS is used for image stabilization at the wide end, Dynamic IS builds on translational (up-down/left-right) stabilization, adding roll axis correction, horizontal roll correction and vertical roll correction for five-axis correction. Image distortion is substantially reduced, even when shooting while in motion.
Macro IS corrects angular and shift-type shake in wide-angle shots.
Powered IS is used for image stabilization in telephoto shooting, Powered IS corrects for low-frequency camcorder shake. During Intelligent IS (AUTO mode), Powered IS can be set to ON or OFF.
Ergonomic, Portable Design
Weighing less than three pounds including the detachable handle, battery and lens hood – and less than two pounds without – the XA11 Professional Camcorder is ideal for high-action shoots when both speed and mobility are essential, and where keeping a low profile is an added benefit. Though small in size, this camcorder sacrifices nothing when it comes to professional functionality. It features a “seesaw” style zoom lever, manual focus/zoom ring and joystick for easy control and an electronic viewfinder that can tilt up to 45° for low-angle shooting. It also has five Assign Buttons to help it fit to your operational needs.
Two Phantom-powered XLR Audio Inputs with Manual Gain Control
A stereo microphone is incorporated into the XA11 Professional Camcorder, and two XLR audio inputs with +48 V phantom power are on the detachable handle unit. The built-in microphone provides outstanding audio in fast-paced situations while the XLR inputs provide connectivity to external microphones and other professional audio devices. If you choose, the built-in microphone and XLR input can be used simultaneously.
Audio is recorded in 16-bit PCM format at 48 kHz for amazing quality and fidelity. And both the built-in microphone and XLR inputs have the option for automatic or full manual gain control. To prevent variations in the recorded audio level, the dial can also be locked.
The XA11 also includes a 3.5mm headphone terminal with 16 volume settings for accurate audio monitoring.
Ultra-compact with Detachable Handle
A detachable handle provides the user with expanded audio performance and added flexibility. Removing the handle allows the camcorder to be made more compact for convenient storage when travelling. Included on the handle are the following terminals, controls and monitors:
- Two built-in XLR audio input terminals with phantom power
- Accessory shoe (cold)
- External microphone holder
- Manual audio level control
- Zoom control and record start/stop button
- Infrared light
- Tally lamp
High Definition Peaking for Focus Assist
To enhance focusing capability, the XA11 Professional Camcorder provides Focus Assist. It includes enlargement, which helps in capturing your subject in razor-sharp focus. It works by providing a 2x magnification of your subject, which is automatically cancelled when you start recording. Also included is color peaking, which shows the shooting object's focused areas in actual colors.
Assignable Buttons for Custom Shooting
The XA11 Professional Camcorder is equipped with five assignable buttons so that the camcorder can be tailored to the specific preferences or needs of the user.
- Button 1 is preset as AF/MF.
- Button 2 is preset as Pre REC.
- Button 3 has no preset.
- Button 4 has no preset.
- Button 5 is preset as Rec Review.
Infrared Shooting Mode for Extreme Low-light Conditions
The XA11 Professional Camcorder features an Infrared Mode allowing the capture of video in conditions with little to no ambient light. Compared to the XA25 and XA20, the XA11 can shoot at brightness levels that are approximately 1.4 times more sensitive, and allows low-light capture by removing the infrared cutoff filter from the optical path. Its specially designed lens coating allows the infrared light to pass through to the image sensor. Additionally, the detachable handle of the XA11 features an infrared emitter with a diffuser to shoot appealing infrared imagery even in complete darkness. For nighttime videographers or law enforcement users, the benefits of a compact, high-performance camcorder for shooting in such conditions are obvious. Without the need to add lights, the shooter can save time on set-up. Also, the XA11 gives the option of recording in white or green mode.
Connectivity to Various Inputs and Outputs
Not only does the XA11 Professional Camcorder provide the user with incredible control over the image, it also provides immense creative freedom when it comes to inputs and outputs, including:
- HDMI Output (HDMI mini connector, time code can be superimposed)
- Composite Video Output (3.5mm)
- USB Hi-Speed Terminal
- (2) XLR Audio Input (when handle is attached) (See audio section for more details)
- Microphone Input (3.5mm) (See audio section for more details)
- Headphone Jack (3.5mm) (See audio section for more details)
- Accessory Shoe (when handle is attached)
Impressive Slow and Fast Motion, including Interval Recording from 2x to 1200x
Slow and Fast Motion Modes allow the XA11 Professional Camcorder to record a different frame rate than the playback frame rate (only in MP4 recording modes), for a fast or slow motion effect during playback. Since the camera is recording real frames and modifying the playback rate, there is virtually no quality loss and maximum image quality is maintained. Additionally, interval recording allows the user to record frames at specified intervals, providing time-lapse recording of up to 1200x and slow motion down to 0.4x of the original speed.
