Canon XA30 Professional Camcorder pre-owned

The 2x XLR inputs with manual dials are a lifesaver for my interview gigs, and the audio levels stay clean even with two mics running. The OLED touchscreen is bright enough to frame shots outdoors without hunting for the EVF. For a used unit it arrived looking nearly new.

Picked this up pre-owned and the 20x optical zoom is incredibly sharp for the price, and having two XLR inputs with manual control is a lifesaver for run-and-gun interviews. The OLED touchscreen is responsive even in bright sun, which I honestly didn't expect on a used unit. No regrets.

The 20x zoom lens is sharp enough that I barely missed having a second camera on a recent interview shoot. Battery life feels standard, but the dual XLR inputs with manual control were a lifesaver for clean audio. Only gripe is the pre-owned unit came without a lens cap, though that's on the seller.
