![]() Unlike low light noise, the HF M52's PF24 alternate frame rate gave the camcorder a huge boost in low light color performance. and it's far better than we saw on the competition-including last year's HF M52. The sinking saturation level is to be expected, but 82% is still very good. ![]() This color error number isn't much different than what we saw in our bright light color test, so that represents a positive for the HF M52. In low light, the camcorder measured a color error of 4.21 and a saturation level of 82%. The Canon HF M52's results in our low light color test were top-notch, although the numbers weren't quite as impressive as what we saw with low light sensitivity. In short, all of these camcorders did well in our color test, but the Canon camcorders rank highest with us due to their plethora of color modes and image controls. The difference isn't huge, but the colors do appear a bit more muted on the X900-although that's something that may appeal to users who don't like overly-vivid colors. The Panasonic HC-X900 was the only model in our comparison group with a saturation level below 90%, and you can see the difference in color depth by looking at the comparison images below. Most of the camcorders we compared the HF M52 to had strong color saturation and earned color accuracy scores that were all in the same ballpark.
