This doesn't come with a remote control. Is there an App to control the camera when you are in front of the camera yourself an does anybody know the name? Thank you

I have to say, great video...but hilarious that you mentioned that you have clients that want the appearance of a larger camera for show/ego then have a clip of Ben Shapiro and Sebastian Gorka on the monitor at 6:51...Makes PERFECT sense now.

Great looking piece of gear!

Great! thanks, I just bught me that camera and now I know a little bit more about it...👍 from L.A.

[@gunlokman]

Great video overall. However, I take issue with the quick-release plate blocking removal of the battery. I have found that if you simply slide the quick-release plate along a bit until it clears the battery compartment before locking it up - all is well.

What do you find to be the best way to use the customizable dial and buttons on this camera?

[@frenchfrymontana3564]

Hi mark, I'm new to your channel and your review was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING so liked the video and and subscribed but I have one question about the canon xa40 I've heard the aperture can go up to f16.0 but I've only seen it go up to f8.0 PLEASE help me I'm very confused and thanks for doing this video it was really helpful

[@olliebug1]

XA11 vs. XA40 anyone? I don’t know much about camcorders, so I thought I’d ask. Trying to decide which one to get. Thanks!

[@muturikanini9176]

hahaaaa..the comment about clients demanding a big camera made me laugh....

[@chanicajoseph8253]

Can I live stream on Facebook with this camera?

[@AbdifatahMohamedAM]

Hi mark, how is the zoom lens &video Quality of the Xa40. Can I use it to cover for an international Media house

[@AbdifatahMohamedAM]

I mean incase I wanna do some investigations, can zoom far objects and yet have a Quality video without maybe my target object noticing it

[@joey69763]

Is it possible to attach a fisheye lens to this camera?

[@ObscureStuff420]

Theres a wide angle and a telephoto attachment available

Did you film from an iPhone 4, your video recording sucks, considering that you are reviewing a camcorder.
