The M52 offers a nice balance between enhanced features, quality, and affordability
The Canon Vixia HF M52 is a high-quality HD video camcorder first, but its digital still quality is a meager 2MB. The HD video quality when played back on our 52-inch HDTV was superb. The colors were spot on, as was the sharpness and detail. The audio...

Consumer review (hsn.com)
CONS: The 10x zoom is horribly limited. The manual focusing is extremely tricky and the focus response is slow. Touch screen is difficult without using the weird stylus that comes with the unit, along with the fact there is no holding spot for it. The...
