@@HaydonS go for it. I have it and it’s amazing for everything I need it to do. Beginner-Advanced photography, I’m learning cinematic video editing and color grading, and vlogging. I use the kit lens and it’s amazing!
Ordered it after your recommendation two days ago and I've been playing with it for a few hours. The 4K autofocus issue is a shame, but it's still better than my G7X Mark II, at least in my limited use of it thusfar. Still usable for vlogging with the 11-22mm IMO. It's such a hard sell when you read the specs and even when seeing some videos on it, but I really, really like this. The stabilization is ridiculously better on this than it was on my 70d when I had that. It also fits nicely on my $15 rubber flexible tripod thing that weighs considerably less than the GorillaPod that's currently being used to hang my deadlift suit to dry. Found out about the unfortunate audio plug situation, but once the screen is flipped, you can go back and forth without needing to flip it at that awkward 90 degree angle again until you're totally done. (maybe a screen protecter would come in handy here?) The 120fps is a huge pain in the butt to get to, but it's honestly pretty decent if you're just watching it on your phone. B-roll stuff maybe? (in really good light, lol) Got the M50 body, 18-150 lens, (tbh you really could just use this to vlog imo. the whole package is physically smaller than the 70d I had that I get the same field of view that I did with the 70d/10-18 combo set at 15 or 16mm), 11-22mm lens, and an extra battery for almost $500 less than the A7III body alone. Saved me a ton of cash there, so thank you again. Going to shoot a video with it tomorrow for kicks comparing the S9+ and G7X Mark II as vlogging cameras since I'm now over the initial shock of what I look and sound like. B-roll in DC might be nice if it ever stops raining. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Solid recommendation, and please continue with The Office references, they definitely don't go unappreciated.
Wow awesome comment Omar! Thank you for taking the time to post it! That’s so awesome that you love the camera! I love mine and just sold my 80D for it myself! It’s the best camera for youtubers in 2018 in my opinion!
I agree with what you say about Canon at the end of this video. If they can put this stuff into a 6D MK3 with dual slots and a headphone jack - I'd buy one in a heartbeat and I'm a Nikon shooter. Please Canon hurry up I really don't want to buy a A73.
Dear Sir I hv a youtube channel of mathematics..Please suggest a camera for me which will fulfill my requirements... should I buy canon m50 or sony 5100/6000/6300 Please suggest Sir... Waiting for your reply...
I needed to mention that of the several reviews I’ve seen on this camera, yours has to be the best. It’s “cut to the chase”, very informative; short and sweet. Thank you very much! I’ll be subscribing. Also, you mentioned a couple features others never mention (compressed raw, the audio quality aspect, the far focus jump thingy - I’m still experimenting with this lol- etc..) excellent review!!! - and btw, I hate to bother commenting unless I’m very impressed with someone’s work and have to give kudos.
@landeus has explained everything that it's in my heart right now. I found this video just currently in Nov. 2019 and I was usually a silent reader and never put on any comment on any channel. But this guy made such a good video which highlights important aspects of the camera which I don't even found elsewhere. Thanks so much. I'm subscribing and gave a like because he deserved it.
Best mic for the price: www.amazon.com/Movo-VXR10GY-Microphone-Windscreen-Smartphones/dp/B076X7VWYV/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1528858033&sr=8-1&keywords=movo+mic
This channel deserves more subscribers! I found y'all through your SL2 video. I'm from Memphis so y'all aren't too far! Anyways, keep up the great videos brotha
I got this last week as well for my girlfriend. With the creator kit. The price I could not pass up as well. I saw photos and it looks amazing but I hope it goes well my with L series lens and my cine primes. Hopefully 🙌🏼
It works great with the EF adapter! I found an EF-M to EF speed booster that we will do some tests on and that is a game changer. Makes it a full frame canon!
A lot of nice bits of information here. One nice thing about that mic port compared to the SL2 that I use is that it is higher up on the M50, so it looks like less of the screen is blocked when doing selfie stuff. They did a solid job with the little things here outside of the intentionally limited 4K.
The only thing that this camera has me on the fence is the fact the screen doesn’t have the volume levels.... BUT the weight, size and focus peaking is awesome. I’m either going to get this M50 or the 80d
Awesome video, thank you! So tempted to get one. I’m currently using the Panasonic G7 but want to move over to Canon. Panasonic autofocus is killing me!
I just got one this week myself and I've been loving it. This l'il guy gets too much hate from the video community- it's a great, light run and gun option. The autofocus in 4k seems a little better than the GH5 to me, but I haven't run any tests. I ordered a custom ef to ef-m speedbooster from a guy on eBay who makes them and I'm excited to see how much it mitigates the extra crop
He just makes them whenever, just run a search on eBay. Honestly they behave a little weird, I'd wait until Viltrox releases their official one in a couple months.
It’s a wonderful camera.i couldn’t even use a simple point and shoot but always wanted to do photography and videography now I can. This camera and RUclips taught me so much. It’s a piece of piss to use although I’m still learning. One thing that nearly killed me with shock was the prices of lenses,even second hand ones! I bypassed the M range of lenses because I see this as only the start and you can only use M lenses on M cameras so I bought a knock off adapter to get this camera to fit canons other ranges of lenses. When I Change camera I don’t wanna be stuck with M lenses I can’t use. The sound quality is shite so I got a Rode mic the one shown in the video. Lovely camera but expect to pay more for much needed accessories (buy more batteries this camera sucks power) nice video Ta very much ❤️ 📷
Wanted this ever since it came out. Just got it 4 days ago. It has waaaayyy better quality than my old camera which was the canon sx530 hs. I plan to make music videos now
great video! Also an interesting bargain. I was a long time Canon user, but felt betrayed by them. So switched to nikon for my photographer and just got an A7Riii for my video and photo work.
I have the 5D MK II but selling it to buy this camera.. sure.. the 5D MK II was the cam that revolutionized DSLR with video yad yada.. and yes.. it still takes great pics.. But.. The technology is 10 yrs old and I need a vlogging camera and currently in a financial bind.. soo.. Im selling my robust Beast.. and buying this light weight cheaper tech of today.. NOTE... BH, AMAZON and Adorama all have the Creator Kit.. which also gives you the Rode Mic Go which is normally $90-100 in the kit for a total of $750 plus a 32gb sandisk card.. Which I think is the best deal.. They know its a decent vlogging camera.. and made a kit for it.. I will have to buy the adapter to mount my 24-70 2.8 on it... But I will be also opened to some cheaper EFS glass like the wide 10-18... the cheap macro with the light on it.. and a few others.. I can easily get $700-800 for my 5D MK II.. and I buy for what I need
Totally! I say go for it. The dual pixel AF and flip out screen are going to blow your mind. The 1080p on the m50 is much better than the 5dmkii also. Great choice.
Kinotika Yea I dont mind going back to crop for a bit.. untill my budget allows for a better camera.. Ill be focusing on getting shots I need and taking advantage of the much less expensive efs glass after I get the adapter. Plus I still have my 24-70 2.8
@@connormccaskill dont agree m50 makes better video then 5dm2, not even close. Only problem with 5dm2 video is there is no autofocus, but quality vise, m50 doesnt come close
that B and H Photo deal makes this extremely hard to pass up. At that price I'm fine with sacrificing auto focus 4k and I'll just live with manually focusing in that mode.
Totally! We found a speed booster for the M50 as well that we will review when we get it! That takes the 4K crop to super35 mode! Pair a sigma 18-35 with it and you have major success right there!
YES YES YES, I check its samples on DPReview and they looked amazing. I didn't believe in Canon's mirrorless but I just bought one right after this video.
The 4K with massive crop and without proper auto focus as well as the terrible 120fps at 720p seems like a bad joke. Currently shooting on the sl2 which is nearly half the price with the full lens options without adapter is still a much better choice in my opinion. There is no “fake” 4k and slow mo though. 😉
I'm definitely glad I waited after the initial drop of this camera because it's already dropped in price. I'm still going to get it. Again, like everyone says, the lack of dual pixel AF in 4K and the 2.4x crop is such a downside, but I look at it as a challenge to get the best picture possible with its particular setup. And as a guy who travels way too often, a DSLR can be cumbersome and add too much weight when you fly on those low cost airlines that only allow you 15 pounds of weight in your bag! LOL Either way. I know that Canon will do the right thing and do an upgrade to the m50 in the very near future, but until then, I think I'll be happy with the m50.
I totally agree. Overall, this camera really is quite amazing. We’ve been using it a lot and it has done an amazing job for us. For both home video of my baby boy, and vlogging to even shooting an episode of Kinotika
this is such an "ePIC" review, keep it up! LOL :P would you say a 15m-45mm lens is a good size? what is the brand of your glasses and hat you're wearing? let me know
hey shopping for my first non-cell phone camera and am leaning toward the m50. Your two videos have helped me a lot. But there's one question I have that I have never been able to get the answer for, even from the M50 user guide. You mention that the camera has clean HDMI out to enable live streaming. That's something I want to do. My question is this, does the HDMI stream include audio? Or is it video only? Also can you confirm that it has a headphone monitor jack? If so, I figure I can get the sound off the camera that way if I need to. I look forward to seeing more m50 videos. Maybe an m50 video specifically about live streaming?
I own the sony a7s mark 1 for my gf's cooking youtube channel and it works great for me. But I want to pick up a second camera for vlogging and travel. Would you recommend the m50? Is the 1080p (sharpness) as good or almost as good as the a7s? I'm sure the colors will be much better. I really like that the m50 is cheap with good AF. Oh, and I don't need 4k! Thanks!
Right so i want to use this camera to record a piano show next month, i realise recording pianos properly would require quite a lot of mics etc, but i just wanted to know if there is a mic for this canon you can recommend that would be up to the job of recording audio that will have quite a bit of echo/reverb to it? One that i can simply attach to the camera?
Good points that I haven't seen in any other review. Maybe you can answer a question I have about this camera: when shooting 1080P, does it allow you to control the rate of focus when using DPAF? I think it's called "Movie Servo AF Tracking Sensitivity" in the 80D's menu.
Great video. Worth mentioning that you have to disable auto focus to get a clean HDMI output (big deal in my opinion). I wouldn’t say great for live streaming then. Fantastic for vlogging. Especially if you don’t do a lot of still photography. Enjoyed your info!
Hey man, thanks for the info.. I just bought the Canon M50 with the lens kit and I was looking to buy a second lens for my portfolio. Would you recommend the 22mm or the nifty fifty? I'll be shooting: sporting events, outdoor adventures, food adventures, family gatherings. Things like that.
For sports you really want a fast lens, the nifty fifty is a great choice at a good price, just remember you need the ef-s adapter for that. For family gatherings the kit lens and it's 15mm (24mm when you add in the crop factor) will do the trick.
My real estate set up is a Canon M50 w/ the Laowa 9mm f2.8 ef-m mount lens. Which equates to a 13.5mm full frame. Is there a Viltrox speed booster or anything that will allow me to get better/wider 4k and allow more light in? I run into some houses with very poor natural light.
Thanks so much. Been looking in to a Pro camera something to learn the features on. It’s a shame that they’re holding back and not putting out the best product they can buy disabling the auto focus
thanks for this! Only one question: with my eos m5 I can not use the wifi control in videomode on my iphone whats really bad. Can I use the Remotefunction in Videomode with the m50?
Hey! Clean HDMI out?!? Were you able to get auto focus to work while streaming a clean signal? Is there a setting that I don’t know about? I always get the white focus box unless I’m in manual focus. Please help. Thanks for the video. Subbed!
Ya it's a clean out!....but with some limitations like you say. In order to have a totally clean hdmi out....switch your camera to manual focus and the box will go away!
Once there is no switch from Af to M, i wonder is it possible to switch from AF to manual focus during the video? Now let me tell you that it is very strange to do a review of a M50 without knowing it and not knowing that the M lenses of the canon do not have button from Af to M.
Summary: 1. 4K Video - 120 Mbit/sec good, 2.4x crop bad 2. Digic 8 new 3. 120 fps, but only at 720p 4. DPAF - face and eye -tracking good. 4K contrast detection bad, no DPAF 5. Focus peaking - manual focus great 6. Size and weight - 0.85 lbs 7. Price tag - low 8. Mic input - clean preamps 9. Clean HDMI out 10. Wifi & Bt - good 11. New RAW format, compressed RAW
Yeah live streaming could be great, just as long as you have a strong premise. Like I probably wouldn't watch this channel for game streaming, and I don't know the exact structure that would be good for this channel, but if you come up with something quality and unique then I'd watch
hello! im unsure if I should buy the m5 or the m50, i like to travel and take pictures and little video, what would you recommend me?, the m5 would be like 40 dls cheaper, thanks!
I wish some hacker would just modify or write new firmware where the dual pixel autofocus works on 4k
@@HaydonS go for it. I have it and it’s amazing for everything I need it to do. Beginner-Advanced photography, I’m learning cinematic video editing and color grading, and vlogging. I use the kit lens and it’s amazing!
Yeah these fuckers have intentionally limited its capabilities so it doesn’t sabotage their other higher end camera sales

But there's one question I have that I have never been able to get the answer for, even from the M50 user guide. You mention that the camera has clean HDMI out to enable live streaming. That's something I want to do. My question is this, does the HDMI stream include audio? Or is it video only? Also can you confirm that it has a headphone monitor jack? If so, I figure I can get the sound off the camera that way if I need to. I look forward to seeing more m50 videos. Maybe an m50 video specifically about live streaming?
I own the sony a7s mark 1 for my gf's cooking youtube channel and it works great for me. But I want to pick up a second camera for vlogging and travel. Would you recommend the m50? Is the 1080p (sharpness) as good or almost as good as the a7s? I'm sure the colors will be much better. I really like that the m50 is cheap with good AF. Oh, and I don't need 4k! Thanks!
Happy I bought this camera!
What is the best lens to run for landscape photography with the m50?
Crazy editing Man haha
If someone makes an update to have duel pixle in 4K I'll pay good money for that.
Love it and I'll love it even more if i get one
Great summary... Thanks!
For photography better this camera or the sony a6400?
Is this camera great for stills and video? Currently have a nikon 3400 looking for an upgrade?
Right so i want to use this camera to record a piano show next month, i realise recording pianos properly would require quite a lot of mics etc, but i just wanted to know if there is a mic for this canon you can recommend that would be up to the job of recording audio that will have quite a bit of echo/reverb to it? One that i can simply attach to the camera?
Best option in my opinion is the Azden SMX-30 if you can afford it. If that’s too much, get the Rode video micro mic.
Good points that I haven't seen in any other review. Maybe you can answer a question I have about this camera: when shooting 1080P, does it allow you to control the rate of focus when using DPAF? I think it's called "Movie Servo AF Tracking Sensitivity" in the 80D's menu.
Great video. Worth mentioning that you have to disable auto focus to get a clean HDMI output (big deal in my opinion). I wouldn’t say great for live streaming then. Fantastic for vlogging. Especially if you don’t do a lot of still photography. Enjoyed your info!
I just bought it!
Love the office reference. Great video!!
Great video, thanks!
should I go for m50 considering both photographyy and cinematigraphy? or a6000?
Great content you just helped me out
I love my M50 with L glass. Amazing! Hidden gem.
Totally!! Thanks for the comment Wes
What is L-Glass?
Good video, I just got my m50, do you have a link or model of mic used in this video? Looking to get decent one without breaking the bank. Thanks
Bro, between cannon m50 and panasonic lumix g85 which gives best output in photography and videography in all aspects for vlogging/filmmaking
Hey man, thanks for the info..
I just bought the Canon M50 with the lens kit and I was looking to buy a second lens for my portfolio.
Would you recommend the 22mm or the nifty fifty?
I'll be shooting: sporting events, outdoor adventures, food adventures, family gatherings. Things like that.
For sports you really want a fast lens, the nifty fifty is a great choice at a good price, just remember you need the ef-s adapter for that. For family gatherings the kit lens and it's 15mm (24mm when you add in the crop factor) will do the trick.
My real estate set up is a Canon M50 w/ the Laowa 9mm f2.8 ef-m mount lens. Which equates to a 13.5mm full frame.
Is there a Viltrox speed booster or anything that will allow me to get better/wider 4k and allow more light in? I run into some houses with very poor natural light.
Can I use this camera with a powerbank? And what about the Viltrox 0.71x adapter, do the autofocus is usable? For stills and videomaking.
Thanks so much. Been looking in to a Pro camera something to learn the features on. It’s a shame that they’re holding back and not putting out the best product they can buy disabling the auto focus
I know! But the 1080p is good
thanks for this! Only one question: with my eos m5 I can not use the wifi control in videomode on my iphone whats really bad. Can I use the Remotefunction in Videomode with the m50?
You need to watch prices. I scored a brand new M50 with the kit lens on eBay for $509.
This video was made right when it came out. Those deals didn’t exist yet
Hey! Clean HDMI out?!? Were you able to get auto focus to work while streaming a clean signal? Is there a setting that I don’t know about? I always get the white focus box unless I’m in manual focus. Please help. Thanks for the video. Subbed!
Ya it's a clean out!....but with some limitations like you say. In order to have a totally clean hdmi out....switch your camera to manual focus and the box will go away!
Yes try live stream with it!
Once there is no switch from Af to M, i wonder is it possible to switch from AF to manual focus during the video?
Now let me tell you that it is very strange to do a review of a M50 without knowing it and not knowing that the M lenses of the canon do not have button from Af to M.
Summary:
1. 4K Video - 120 Mbit/sec good, 2.4x crop bad
2. Digic 8 new
3. 120 fps, but only at 720p
4. DPAF - face and eye -tracking good. 4K contrast detection bad, no DPAF
5. Focus peaking - manual focus great
6. Size and weight - 0.85 lbs
7. Price tag - low
8. Mic input - clean preamps
9. Clean HDMI out
10. Wifi & Bt - good
11. New RAW format, compressed RAW
It crops 4K? Might as well keep shooting 1080 on the 70D. My only question for live streaming is will it shutdown after 15 minutes like the 70D?
the "that's what she said" part KILLED ME 😂😂
Hi! Thank you for the video:) Can you please link the microphone? That would help a lot! Thank you
Which mic?
What would be the m50 for photography?
Awesome video thx
Are you considering buying one?
@@connormccaskill umm yes😄 when i get My salary i Will buy m50
Yeah live streaming could be great, just as long as you have a strong premise. Like I probably wouldn't watch this channel for game streaming, and I don't know the exact structure that would be good for this channel, but if you come up with something quality and unique then I'd watch
Just wondering…..does this camera take still photos?
hello! im unsure if I should buy the m5 or the m50, i like to travel and take pictures and little video, what would you recommend me?, the m5 would be like 40 dls cheaper, thanks!
Hello sir
I am thinking to purchase viltrox speed booster..
Should I invest in speed booster?
Or should I invest in lenses?
What should I buy for photography the Nikon d5600 or the Canon m50?(first camera!)
M50
