The XC15 ships with the MA-400 microphone adapter that, when attached, makes possible shooting with XLR-input microphones used in a wide range of media and content-creation applications. As a result, the camcorder supports the production of content that combines both high image quality and high sound quality with reduced noise. The MA-400 is also compatible with the EOS C300 Mark II.
The XC15 facilitates shooting in confined spaces and environments that demand mobility while its added video and still-image “Look” modes, which enable video capture with the same look as the EOS C300 Mark II, makes it an ideal sub-camera.
Thanks to its high-sensitivity 1-inch CMOS sensor and DIGIC DV 5 image processing platform with high calculation-processing power, the new XC15 from Canon is capable of capturing high-image-quality, low-noise 4K video. What’s more, the camcorder features a compact, lightweight body design measuring approximately 128 mm (w) x 106 mm (h) x 122 mm (d) and weighs approximately 955 grams* while also sporting a 10x optical zoom lens
