I am using a Canon XA11 camcorder with the Canon 250D and panasonic Ag-ux90 4k. Setting up the cameras and seeing on computer screen the Canon xa11 is not compatible with the other cameras. Please help me on this because i was thinking of selling it and get another DSLR camera. Thanks

What do you mean by "not compatible"?

This is a pretty common problem usually solved in post, though I can certainly understand wanting to minimize that hassle.

Trying to match video cameras (e.g. A, B, C cams) can be tricky. Especially across brands. But even within the same brand if using different devices (in your case a cam vs. DSLR). I don't think an Log options exist on the 250D, so you'd probably be stuck with Rec.709 there. Though maybe it has a WideDR option?

Ideally, you'd want to use the same brand and I'd recommend all capturing either CLog2 or CLog3 (or whatever equivalent a particular brand uses).

You'll prob need to experiment. And there may be other videographers that have available LUTs to apply in post to try to get the footage more equalized.

I have tried even using an external ND filter to the Canon xa11 but still the video quality for it has much white light
