Is Canon XA25/20 the new low-light king?

The footage coming out of the XA20 is mindblowing.

Just wondering, why instead of measuring in ISO numbers, it uses dB ?

Thanks

Camcorder gain settings are measured in dB. Actually, it's ISO /ASA that doesn't make any sense in a digital world. The numbers are for filmstock!
But for the sake of comparison, every 6dB of gain is approx equivalent to 1 stop increment in ISO.
