Canon VIXIA HF M52 Review

 

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...

Canon Vixia HF M52Camcorder Review

 

With excellent low light performance and a decent amount of manual controls, the Canon HF M52 is one of the best mid-range camcorders on the market. It does come with a steep $750 price tag, however, and the new features—which include WiFi capability...

Wi-Fi is more complicated and inflexible than it needs to be. Note: Works with AES but not with TKIP+AES on my WR. The auto-focus is slower than I'm used to. Does not support USB 3.0. Some of the setting details are not as clear for general public- but...

Worth The Money

 

This camera is definitely worth the money. The picture is amazingly good. I do commercials and promo videos. It works great.

Consumer review (hsn.com)

Not what I expected...

 

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...
