Canon today announced many new camcorders to their Legria (Vixia) range. Top of the tables is the new HF M52 which has some superb features. It sports Canons new HD CMOS Pro sensor, which has the exact number of pixels needed for 1920x1080 capture. This featured in some of last years models, including the top of the range and still current HF G10. They also added WiFi support to the HF M52, which allows for wireless streaming to supported devices. The 7.5cm touch screen is still very low resolution, which is a bit of a let down and there is still no 50P or 60P support. Check out the full details here.
