The 1" sensor Canon XA70 is a lot like the Canon G70 camcorder which has a smaller sensor, but both camcorders have similar features. The Canon Vixia HF G70 footage is compared in this video with Canon XA70 footage in both 1080p and 4K. Yes 1080 60p and 4K 30p. Both camcorders have HDMI out, dual SD card slots, microphone inputs and headphone jacks. Both can charge with USB-C and both have EVF viewfinders. If you're thinking about the Sony PXW-Z200 or the Sony NX800, watch this video first. I personally would rather have the Sony Z90V, or the Sony AX700 or even the Sony AX100 camcorders, all of which have 1" sensors. I also like the Sony RX100vii and the Lumix LX10 for videos under 10 minutes. They have one inch sensors also. If you love video cameras, photography and camcorders, this video is a fun watch. Enjoy this test footage comparison video.
