Performance

The HF M52 excelled in our low light testing and put up better-than-average scores in the rest of our performance tests. Surprisingly, the camcorder did show us a slightly duller image than its predecessor, but not by a significant factor. The M52 did have improved low light sensitivity than last year's HF M40, so it's a fair trade. This is an exceptional low light camcorder, and its overall performance gives it the look of a high-end camcorder rather than a mid-range model.
