EOS M50 Mirrorless Vlogging Camera Kit with EF-M 15-45mm Lens, Black

I'm not a fan of buying something because it is new. I am a fan of buying things that solve problems. The problem I'm having is that I'm getting older and my heavy DSLR and long Canon "L" lenses were getting too heavy to cart around all day. So I made a list of Must have and Nice to have items. Must have: small, lightweight, interchangeable lenses (and a variety to choose from), fully articulated LCD, near zero shutter lag, raw processing, 8 shot buffer minimum, high ISO, viewfinder (with visible histogram), hot shoe. Nice to have: wireless remote, iOS app, GPS. This camera has all the items on both lists. (The GPS requires connection to a phone, and that drains the battery on both, so I probably won't use it much) Then there are some unexpected bonuses. One is that Canon introduced a new raw format called CR3. It is highly compressed and lossless, so it will save considerable disk space. This is getting important with >20Mpixels on modern sensors (24 here, IIRC). The camera came out March 26. Adobe updated its software April 3 to handle it. You'll get a lot of opinion on what make a camera a professional's camera. Non-photographers judge by bulk, and that's just stereotype. To me, a professional camera has better weather sealing, multiple memory cards and a large buffer (transfers image to the card). It would also have a bigger offset between the tripod screw and the battery cover. (So the battery could be changed easily without removing the tripod or plate. As for full frame, it doesn't matter. Imagine an 8x12 picture, perhaps from a magazine. Then put a mat on it where the sides are 1 inch thick. The part of the picture you see now is 6x10. That's what a 1.6 crop sensor does (in round numbers). The part of the image you see is completely unchanged. If the lens manufacturers just changed the numbers on the lens itself, no one would ever know. A lens marked 10mm becomes 16mm, but all else is the same. If you like the fisheye look, then you have to go full frame, but for pretty much anything else it doesn't matter. As for video, that's a matter of the buffer. Shooting at 30 frames a second means filling the buffer fast (just hold the shutter button down on the camera you have now and see how fast it fills). To make continuous images for video, any camera has to crop the image before even sending it to the buffer and then the card. So video means a tighter crop. Again, a pro might want a more video capable camera . The only glitch I ran into was with a third party lens from Tokina. The new software in the camera didn't talk to the software in the lens, and so it generated an error message about the connectors not being clean. After returning the first lens and getting a second with the same problem I called Tokina and they told me about the mismatch. They said that they're working on a firmware ujpgrade that will require me sending in the lens, but they had no due date on the fix. (I sent it back). If you're considering a lens from them or any 3rd party, I suggest giving them a call first. When they fix it I'll buy the lens again and update this review. EDITED TO ADD: 1. Thing I miss the most: Port for wired remote shutter release. Yes, the smartphone app does the job but it burns the battery. Also, no way to take time lapse, which uses an intervalometer (and that feature isn't in the app, even if battery wasn't a problem) 2. This Arca-Swiss compatible plate fits the camera and still leaves room to access the battery compartment. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XK2790Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Sony has made a loud-explosive bang on the camera industry with its mirrorless full frame cameras. While the Canon M50 doesn’t offer a full frame sensor, this small mirrorless camera PACKS a FULL PUNCH! Quite possibly the most underrated, and least spoken of camera on the market today! Unlike its traditional DSLR older brothers this new small Canon mirrorless covers 80% of its auto focus area (not just 19-65 cross points!), using the classic, and hands down best auto focus system in the camera market, with its “dual pixel auto focus”. When compared to my Canon t6i crop sensor digic 6 24.2mp this new digic 8 24.2mp is quite noticeably sharper, and colors are cleaner, brighter, and skin tones are just brilliantly smooth and pure! The flip out, fully articulating screen has the best touch screen in the camera industry, and offers functionality like; touch to auto focus, touch to snap a pic, move points of auto focus, and much more. The battery in this camera is small, but last very long! After one hour of shooting 4K still had a full charge! Micro HDMI out which is great if you want to par with a monitor or OBS self recording for live videos. Video format: IPB only. Video recording: 1080p up to 60fps and 4K 24fps. (While shooting in 4K there is a lost of dual pixel auto focus, and the camera switches to contrast auto focus. Also while shooting in 4K there is a 2.65 crop.) Picture. Does Raw and JPEG or RAW +JPEG up to a 6K equivalent image. Suggestions: buy this with the Canon EFM to EF adapter as there aren’t many EFM lens options. But there are plenty of EF budget lenses. My recommended favorite is Sigmas 18-35mm art, gives you a full frame picture look, with amazing depth of field! Negatives: in my opinion there aren’t any, if you consider the price for what you are getting. However, • 4K is cropped w/o the use of DPAF. • Single memory card slot. • Not to many lens options. • Grip is smaller than DSLR. • No headphone input.

I was shocked by the quality of this camera! It is a huge upgrade to my last one. I use this camera for shooting sit-down YouTube videos, photos and will eventually use it for vlogging. So the flip-out screen is perfect for that! I also love the ability to add an external mic as well. Learning how to use it in manual mode is pretty easy because there are a ton of videos out there on this camera! However, I used auto mode for a while and this camera does a pretty good job on auto, so you'd never had to mess with any settings if you don't want to. Videos and photos look great on this camera, and I don't plan to upgrade for a very long time! I will just be buying lenses to fit the body of this camera

This is my first high-quality camera. And, I am still exploring. Image quality and video quality seem really good. The full rotatable touch screen, mic input, and good user interface make it a very good deal for me, as I plan to do personal content creation. I considered the Sony a5100 as an option, but could not make the compromises and got this instead. But, the Sony a5100/6000 is great value for money even today, if you want it only for still photography. I got the m50 at around 51k on Amazon Prime day. I think you can wait if you plan to buy. In the US it costs only 650-700 bucks, so the Indian price may reduce in a while. I would recommend the EF to EF-M mount adapter along with the Canon 50mm F1.8 STM lens, or even the EF-M 22mm F2 lens if you prefer the compact form factor (no adapter business). They do make a significant quality difference in portrait photography and further improve the sharpness of the camera. I would add some sample clicks in the future with my Nifty Fifty lens. The supplied carry bag is too big, hence I bought the Amazon Basics Carry bag for Compact Cameras, and that fits it well (even some of the other mirrorless cameras too). The m50 is now in a really compact package and I can take it along easily in my backpack most of the time. Update: May 2019 1. Since now this is available at below 50k, with offers and discounts it can be owned at 45k, this is a steal in my honest opinion. 2. Added sample photos!!! Particularly from the popular 50mm f1.8 lens, used with an adaptor. Update: September 2019 1. I am enjoying the camera more and more, the camera has just the right amount of controls for a beginner. 2. I came to know about Viltrox Speed Booster for M50. Adding a speed booster is an awesome way to make the camera much more capable. Planning to buy it, but would probably directly get it from US or China. Update: December 2020 1. Sigma lenses have made this EOS-M series cameras way more complete and worth than ever. 2. I strongly recommend the "16mm F1.4 Sigma" for Vlogging, "30mm F1.4 Sigma" or "32mm F1.4 Canon" for Street and Portraits. 3. But, the "56mm F1.4 Sigma", I would settle with the "50mm F.18 Canon" for the value it offers. Moreover, there is an update to the original Canon M50 with a Mark ii, with an almost identical feature set. I don't know why Canon calls it mark ii. Also, if you plan on serious content creation and want the best quality, in the long run, I would recommend the Canon EOS RP (Body only) with Canon EF 17-40mm and 50mm (Nifty-fifty)

Très bon produit , reçu très rapidement , j'ai acheté cette appareil en complément de mon canon eos D60 qui commence a prendre de l'age , malgré tout quelques points négatifs, niveau de batterie courte , j'arrive avec une batterie pleine a 150 déclenchements , monte vite en bruit léger , sinon l'autofocus est magnifique , malgré ces deux points negatif , je recommande , pas essayé en vidéo

No la compré para uso profesional, y para lo que espera superó con creces mis expectativas. El lente que viene de kit no es ninguna maravilla, pero está bien, yo le compré otros y me funciona de maravilla. Encima es super ligera, lo que hace que no te moleste nada en los viajes, muy recomendada.

FIRST OF ALL, i need to say THANK YOU to the seller for their AMAZING! OUTSTANDING! SPECTACULAR! Customer service. So let me tell y’all a little back story. I usually get all of my packages delivered to my work address, due to that being the location I am at more often than my home. So, i guess due to all of this COVID19, Canada Post has started “weekend delivery” and unbeknownst to me, delivering on SUNDAYS.. one of the days I don’t work, lol of course. Obviously I wasn’t at work on Sunday, so Canada Post took back the package and i received a notification on my phone saying that the business is closed, and will be held. When i arrived to work on Monday Morning, they didn’t leave one of those “We tried to deliver cards” or anything advising me on the next steps. Alright cool.. so I called Canada Post, i was on what seemed to be the longest hold of my life, and when someone finally answered they were of little to no help to me. Slightly irritated and frustrated, because WHO DELIVERS TO A BUSINESS ON SUNDAY.. I send a contact email to the seller, literally within minutes, I receive a response asking for my phone number. Literally 2 mins after that, I receive a phone call. The customer service is so incredible they were able to rectify the situation and did their due diligence to ensure the camera had another delivery attempt the very next day. I ordered it on Wednesday, May 20th and I kid you not, it was shipped out that very night! Everything was BRAND NEW, neatly packaged, in the box, all manuals, battery, camera strap. It is so lightweight, easy to use, different filters, functions. Just an amazing camera that’s very easy to use. I have honestly been researching cameras for the past 3 years, and i’ve been scared to commit and spend nearly $800 online without seeing the product physically.. but i’m so happy the universe aligned me with this seller! I know i was OD detailed, but I only give reviews when I feel like it’s deserved. Thank you for coming to my TED talk lol
