Camcorder for School Use

[DawnTrumpet]

I am looking for a camcorder to record elementary musicals, middle school band concerts, and high drama performances.  I believe we would benefit from XLR inputs from our soundboard.  We would like to spend around 1200.00.  The XA10 may have more features than we need.  Thanks in advance!

Hi DawnTrumpet!

Thanks for posting on the Canon Forum.

Currently, only our more professional models have XLR inputs.  If XLR inputs are important, I strongly recommend at least the XA10.  Other models have audio inputs that are not XLR if this is ok.  The model below the XA10 that is very similar to it, but has a 3.5mm stereo input port is the VIXIA HF G10.  This particular camcorder should fall within your budget.

If this is a time sensitive-matter, additional support options are available at Contact Us.
