The XA40 and XA45 feature a 1/2.3 type CMOS sensor, a 20x optical zoom lens, and a DIGIC DV 6 image processor, all in a compact and lightweight body measuring approximately 131mm (W) x 180mm (H) x 231mm (D) and weighing approximately 1.13kg. In addition to 4K 25/30p video capture and the large zoom range of 29.3mm at the wide-angle end to 601mm at the telephoto end, the XA40 and XA45’s oversampling HD Processing function effectively utilizes data acquired by the 4K imaging sensor to record full HD video with even higher image quality than its predecessor, the XA30 and XA35.

Additionally, XA55 and XA45 also come with 3G SDI terminal port which is the exceptional feature over XA50 and XA40 respectively. The XA45 and XA40 will be available in April 2019. The XA55 and XA50 will be available in June 2019. There is no word on the pricing yet.
