i like the fact that you showed the 4k autofocus is bad right from the start of the video. you're very smart in how you show flaws of a product whilst being respectful to the company and giving us the truth. the m50 is a very good versatile camera.
@@sean9820 Yes. A third party adapter that makes connects lenses cross-system is a recipe for bad autofocus. Imagine a Canon lens trying to communicate with a Sony body, through a third party adapter. It's like three people speaking different languages trying to communicate.
The Canon M50 ii is like the easiest camera to recommend to beginners. It's affordable enough to get started AND does photos and videos decently well. Yes, there are limits to it, but MOST people want something that works straight out of the box and I think the M50 really delivers there. Not everyone needs pro features and a thousand different color profiles.
I use the Canon EOS 200D which is very simmilar to the M50. And one pro tip I'd give to get the best out of these cameras is to go into the picture profile settings and turn the sharpening all the way down. Then the footage can look really good under proper lightning. Keep it up guys!
A refreshing video. So tired of the comparison or "why I switched" videos running rampant on YT. I got my M50 for Zoom last year and it's so nice to just use. I later got an RP for more serious photography capabilities. Sony might have more tech, but this camera is just a sweet performer...
nowadays canon seems to have 'more tech' anyhow. i have an a6300, 6D, and A7S and want to upgrade my a6300 for video and am seriously considering the R6. 4K60 10 bit. if Sony doens't come out with that at the $2500 price range I'm going to canon
I recently purchased a Cannon M50 to shoot video with and learn all the settings and process involved to get great shots, the main reason I bought it is because of watching the reviews from your channel. I just shot a music video on it for some friends and I am not disappointed. Thanks Potato Jet!
I must have watched over a 100 different video's this week on different camera's, not sure which one to buy. This is the first video I've watched of yours and I immediately hit the subscribe button, just a really nice vibe and review
Used the M50 until recently when I switched to the 90. Still the M50 is my back Up cam beside the 80D. Only thing I sort of dislike is the small battery which really is a pain and drained pretty quick. Nice update and I agree, its a nice beginner camera but you can get also magic out of it depending the lens …
90D user here who has an M50. And i do agree, the M50 is a good overall little camera but it’s battery life is a bummer. It used those tiny LP-12, the same as the 100D. So you’ll be fine with 3 or 4 batteries laying around
@@othmane767 Waaay better. The 90D has a better sensor than the M50 and it's 4K is superior. PLUS, the 90D doesn't crop in 4K as much as the M50 does. But still, the M50 is a good beginner camera and would use it as a B cam for the 90D
Something I noticed when you switched between the different resolutions and stabilization settings is that the stabilized 1080p looks quite soft and a little bit artificially sharpened, even when viewing on a 1080p monitor. The non-stabilized 1080p looked more naturally sharp (and obviously the 4k even more so). Personally if I had an M50 I'd probably use it without stabilization and apply it in post if needed
I'm really glad to hear this because I've had my M50 I since it came out years ago and haven't upgraded. I'm really amateur and the results I get are awesome. I decided until I'm really consistent with video editing I will invest in the lenses if anything.
@@FloridaBoyGrizz holds up great! I still use it for on-the-go shooting because of the compact form factor. The biggest takeaway for me is that the image quality depends on how much light it takes in. It can hang pretty well with pricier cameras as long as the scene is very well lit. It really starts to struggle in low-light.
@@FilmSpook OMG YESSSSS Eos M gang checking in!!! zeek is honestly the reason why I love the camera so much! what are the odds, much love from Vancouver Canada brother!!
Coming from someone who rocked the m50 for my first year on RUclips, I would probably recommend the new Sony ZV-E10. It's just a better camera to grow in to. You can always get the m50, sell it, and upgrade, but if you can afford Sony...just do it now. The future is 4k, and Sony does it best. Even the Sony ZV-1 is viable.
What you're talking about with your mind being busier is called "decision fatigue." Psychologist Dan Gilbert had a TED talk a while back talking about happiness and one of the things he found is having too many choices will actually make us less happy. That's also one of the reason Steve Jobs always wore the same outfit, to make sure his brain was as free as possible from less important decisions so he could devote more of his attention to important decisions.
Still using the M50 and about to go from photo to video, so this is great! Your 1st video on this one is the reason I got my own. Switching to the RP for photos soon! Thanks PJ
I don't know if it's the best but it sure is great. There are easier to use cameras for beginners who have no intention of upgrading. I still use the m50 because I can't Imagine needing better for talking head or vlogging. Got the nifty fifty and the canon 22mmf2 and the viltrox speed booster and I am forever happy. The kit lens is great too. Even if I had money, I doubt if I would upgrade. No need. I was going to buy a second one so I could have them set up for different scenarios and not have to fumble with lenses.The best part of this video is seeing friends having fun.
Just tried the m50 for photography in one of my videos about a week ago! I fell in love with the color and how capable it was for a more beginner camera! 💯✔️🔥
Me and my friend picked up 2 M50s back last year for us to start vlogging. It’s such a easy and great camera to record, drop into premiere, and have a vlog ready ASAP!
I have to commend how you did that ad read at the beginning. Normally I would just skip a minute or so to get passed it but being that you used the camera you were reviewing to do the ad it kept me watching to see how the camera performs. Genius
What are your thoughts on the M6 II? It's very similar to the M50 in terms of features, but it doesn't have that 4k crop. For the flip screen, it's a flip-up which is annoying but there are good options to get a cold shoe on the side. [edit: i know you covered the M6 II as well in past videos, just wondering why you would choose M50 over M6, maybe for the flip screen?]
If you can... stay away from the EF-M mount. To be honest, I think it is a dead camera mount. If you intend to upgrade as you grow, it is not for you. Canon only made 8 lenses in 9 years, whereas they made 18 RF lenses in 2 years. So I think that's a pretty clear statement they are ignoring or discontinuing the mount unofficially. If you want APS-C only, Sony has good lens options and good autofocus, but Fuji has better colours and the best video quality in the entire APS-C market.
@@professionalpotato4764 yeah, so i've heard.. i still got a good Sigma 16mm 1.4 and now have 4 lens for ef-m in total. I don't really want to move to RF because it multiplies the price by 4 and the weight by 3. Good thing EF-M is quite affordable, I won't break the bank if i switch to sony one day :)
@@yuanyuanintaiwan Yeah, RF although has good image quality... it is just too big, expensive, and heavy. I think it's a great casual system overall, but I wouldn't invest into it if I'm trying to do freelance.
@@LouisLuzuka Oh if you want to do 4k video, m6 ii overheats in 40mins, so nah. If you want to do video casually, I'd steer you towards Sony. If you want to do it professionally, Fuji.
I film all my videos on a Canon M50 and it's been an amazing experience so far. Even though the Mark ii didn't deliver on all the anticipated features everyone was *hoping* for, it's still a great camera for beginners. Great stuff! 💪🏻
I've had the m50 Canon for a while. I bought a bunch of lens and adapters. Now I need to learn what a good shot looks like and how to use all this equipment.
Great review! The M50 is very user friendly overall and makes my workflow for photography and recording videos simpler. It's a great budget camera and captures great stills and videos. Good lenses definitely improve the images. The kit lens is decent and I have enjoyed working with it. I also like the 22mm efm lens, especially for stills. It's also awesome for travel and adventuring because it is so small.
Started on the m50 before upgrading to the X-T4 last year. Loving Fuji but there’s definitely a tremendous amount of ability in that m50. Not a bad place to start at all. I still have it for back up stuff.
Awesome video man! Portland was so much fun! 😆 and this video looks GREAT! M50 MK II is definitely going to be my first recommendation for beginners on a budget👌🏽
I just got my M50 II for $500 new in the box on Ebay. Very disappointed with the owner's manual, so I am depending on RUclips videos to tach me how to use this camera. Thank you to all the RUclipsrs like you who are helping me.
It was moving seeing a bunch of friends having a great time at a wedding, he shot it so well. I sometimes consider the M50 but I'm not certain that EOS-M has a future. I shoot with an old school Canon XA11.
I don't know how much of a future it has either! However, With the Speed booster is runs like an EF mount just fine. I recently upgraded to the EOS R which is what you are simulating when you throw on a speed boosted. Would 100% Recommend the M50, Speed booster, and EF 50mm 1.8! You can crazy good stuff
As the shadow of a beginner, I agree, I bought few month ago the Mark I and I admit, it's really easy to use and intuitive. But strong rumors say this camera is reaching to an end and will be replaced by the R7, R8 and R9. Let's see what will happen.
All these comments about M-mount being discontinued are so weird. The M mount was irrelevant from the start. The whole point of the camera was getting a cheap wicked body that you could adapt or speed boost DSLR lenses on. And the camera will stay that way even after Canon releases an R mount aps-c which will probably be this exact camera with a mount change let's be honest. I like how nobody is calling old DSLRs irrelevant when they have LESS lens options than this camera as they can't use M lenses. The talking point makes zero sense. The amount of quality glass being produced for EF-S/EF mount means mount type is irrelevant so long as adapters are available. Buy Sigma lenses and never look back. Speed boost them if you like. This camera is the best value under 1k.
I wanted the M50 ii but I ended up getting the SL3. It is practically the same camera but it's a DSLR instead of a mirrorless. And (in my country) I was able to get the SL3 + kit lens + 50 mm 1.8 lens for the same price of the M50ii + kit lens only.
I'm early ! Gene eating Oaxaca cheese randomly was just fun. XD I bingewatched all the Gene Nagata Channel and now it seems like I have to just bingewatch Potato Jet too :3 just gotta do it.
I LOVED how you used Storyblocks to explain the forehead, LOL. I personally use the Canon M50 Mark II and Canon M50 Mark I as my main cameras. I am very happy with the results and can see myself using this for a few more years before upgrading.
Missed your weekly videos! Hopefully everything is all settled with your new setup!! (maybe full kitchen later) And ask Kari what she thinks about your new "lip ring" at 12:30
I shot with the successor to this camera, the M5, almost exclusively on a trip to England and Scotland two years ago. Given that technology two years ago with the M5, I got some money shots. In fact, I used the M5 95% of the time versus the EOS R. If I was to do a trip like that again, I would leave my pro mirrorless gear at home and rely on the M50ii.
just about to buy my very first camera, and i am looking on this specific model to start. thank you for the Review. very beautiful content. Thank you. YUDABES!
I've been watching your videos and I really like your style. You have tons of great info. Im gonna take your film course. Looking forward to learning how to film on my canon m50 m ii.
Yess, i used the Canon M50 for so long, even payed projects (with speedbooster, L-Glass and cage to look legit) and still use it for Vlogging stuff. Love that thing and always recommend it. Bummer the Mark II had no real upgrade but still a great camera!
Had the Canon M50 as my first “vlogging camera”. When the Canon M50 M II came out I decided to sell the M50 and just upgrade to the M6 M II instead as I was disappointed in what really looked to be just a firmware upgrade. Already had a few lenses (Canon and Sigma) and didn’t want to sell everything so landed with the M6 M II. Added a small rig to the bottom to solve the flip up screen issue. In the end I’m just an amateur though lol 🤷🏻♂️
@@WasionKey Honestly I never really did a comparison but dug up from a source that it’s about a 30% increase in longevity. Pretty decent then 👍🏻 “Average” compared with others in its class though.
Last summer I dropped my M50 and the screen stopped working too. Had the big 18-35 1.8 Sigma on it and all in a padded LowePro tote bag. Got off a zero-gravity chair and then it fell off the chair on the dirt group, screen side towards the ground. I replaced the screen myself but that didn't solve it. Sent it to a repair center (not Canon) that had to replaced something else - $250. Canon's repair center told me it would be a minimum of $250 not matter what the issue. I thought that maybe the screen I got from Ebay was bad. The center that repaired it said if it was a screen they'd do it for $125, so that's why I didn't send it to Canon. That Sigma lens is pretty heavy, otherwise if I had a smaller lens I believe the small 2 1/2 foot drop in a padded bag onto a dirt ground would not have caused any damage.
I love my M50. Always have and when i added the Sigma 16mm f1.4 I fell in love all over again. The nifty 50 withe speed booster also works great for me. I still would like the m6 mkii and the sigma 24-70 f 2.8 so I can start shooting in 4K.
After potato always using his professional camera for soo long time and feed us with filmic images, when he switched to M50 and shows Dylan footage talking story blocks, I start to feelthe image looks video-ish. Does not mean it's bad, i'm just saying wow that such a quite difference on images looks!
Nice video as usual! The best quote to refer to the M50 is "it looks decent" ;D I'm still using two of the original M50s. I turn down the sharpness a bit, but besides that I agree it does look good out of the camera. I finally picked up the M6 mark ii so I could get DPAF in 4k and use it with the Atomos Ninja V.
@he1chy v2 No it's in the camera settings called "picture style". Under the default "guided" menu you select "shooting settings", press OK, and then go to tab 3 with the option "picture style". In there you can select different pre-made options and/or customize them by pressing the "info" button. In the customization page you've got sharpness, contrast, saturation, and color tone that can be adjusted with sliders.
I love my m50 and still use it but I don’t recommend it over the zv1 or zv e10. For someone looking at their first camera I tend to steer them to the zv1 since it is a great pocketable camera that has very good low light capability out of the box and no crop on the 4K. Allows you to record 4K and crop in post for those dramatic shots. The extra $100 is worth it. Or extra 200 for the e10 if you want the flexibility of detachable lenses.
I just got both cameras. And i record outside and the white is so outblown in the zv1. M50 levels it down to not make the video look too white. Im trying to figure out how to fix this or im gonna have to return it
@@klolz1740 if everything is set to automatic then hit the Fn button go to ND and turn it on. Typically I run in movie mode with shutter priority and set shutter to 1/50 or 1/60 depending if I’m running 24p or 30p respectively. With everything else set automatic and just change the ND filter when I go outside. Make sure your exposure setting is between 0.0 and +0.7 too much higher the image will be blown out and lower than 0.0 will be too dark.

The bad autofocus was due to the speedbooster I believe
@@JonBear Do speedboosters tend to cause that issue!?
@@sean9820 Yes. A third party adapter that makes connects lenses cross-system is a recipe for bad autofocus. Imagine a Canon lens trying to communicate with a Sony body, through a third party adapter. It's like three people speaking different languages trying to communicate.

This camera is the best value under 1k.
Loving how much you love the M50 and you can really get a nice image out of it. Can you please do a color grading video with footage shot on the M50?
I wanted the M50 ii but I ended up getting the SL3. It is practically the same camera but it's a DSLR instead of a mirrorless.
And (in my country) I was able to get the SL3 + kit lens + 50 mm 1.8 lens for the same price of the M50ii + kit lens only.
This new setup is amazing!
Dylan truly is a GOAT
I'm early ! Gene eating Oaxaca cheese randomly was just fun. XD I bingewatched all the Gene Nagata Channel and now it seems like I have to just bingewatch Potato Jet too :3 just gotta do it.
Nice video! I think I needed to hear this instead of obsessing on the latest and greatest.
Me super excited seeing the M50 ii being covered by Potato Jet about a month after buying it🥺🔥
Thanks for adding the comparative with the ZV-10e, I think I will go for Sony this time.
That wedding video looked great! Even at 720!
Just a shot in the dark, I'm guessing the M in camera name and EF-M stands for mirrorless. I know there's also the RF mounts but these came out first.
The only ad read that i did not skip.
I love the m50, was great for starting my vlogs and my only gripe is lens options, which isn't the camera itself's fault
I LOVED how you used Storyblocks to explain the forehead, LOL. I personally use the Canon M50 Mark II and Canon M50 Mark I as my main cameras. I am very happy with the results and can see myself using this for a few more years before upgrading.
Missed your weekly videos! Hopefully everything is all settled with your new setup!! (maybe full kitchen later) And ask Kari what she thinks about your new "lip ring" at 12:30
Love the new set
Up Boy Meets Karl Urban. Love the video and the M50, as you said the footage looks so good out of the camera.
The M50 II seems like an ideal camera for people to take on their family vacation or for people to take to their child's school play.
I shot with the successor to this camera, the M5, almost exclusively on a trip to England and Scotland two years ago. Given that technology two years ago with the M5, I got some money shots. In fact, I used the M5 95% of the time versus the EOS R. If I was to do a trip like that again, I would leave my pro mirrorless gear at home and rely on the M50ii.
just about to buy my very first camera, and i am looking on this specific model to start. thank you for the Review. very beautiful content. Thank you. YUDABES!
I love my M50, I have a bit of tough time with the autofocus sometimes, but other than that it's an AMAZING camera !
I've been watching your videos and I really like your style. You have tons of great info. Im gonna take your film course. Looking forward to learning how to film on my canon m50 m ii.
Yess, i used the Canon M50 for so long, even payed projects (with speedbooster, L-Glass and cage to look legit) and still use it for Vlogging stuff. Love that thing and always recommend it. Bummer the Mark II had no real upgrade but still a great camera!
Makes me want to upgrade. I'm still using the Canon G7x mark ii. Thank you for your perspective and all the great information.
Always watching and wishes I have one M50 mark II, great video
I appreciate your thoughts on the camera! I’m considering it as my first step into photography with a “real” camera
Had the Canon M50 as my first “vlogging camera”. When the Canon M50 M II came out I decided to sell the M50 and just upgrade to the M6 M II instead as I was disappointed in what really looked to be just a firmware upgrade. Already had a few lenses (Canon and Sigma) and didn’t want to sell everything so landed with the M6 M II. Added a small rig to the bottom to solve the flip up screen issue. In the end I’m just an amateur though lol 🤷🏻♂️
how's the battery in comparison?
@@WasionKey Honestly I never really did a comparison but dug up from a source that it’s about a 30% increase in longevity. Pretty decent then 👍🏻 “Average” compared with others in its class though.
I see the kitchen is coming around!
Last summer I dropped my M50 and the screen stopped working too. Had the big 18-35 1.8 Sigma on it and all in a padded LowePro tote bag. Got off a zero-gravity chair and then it fell off the chair on the dirt group, screen side towards the ground. I replaced the screen myself but that didn't solve it. Sent it to a repair center (not Canon) that had to replaced something else - $250. Canon's repair center told me it would be a minimum of $250 not matter what the issue. I thought that maybe the screen I got from Ebay was bad. The center that repaired it said if it was a screen they'd do it for $125, so that's why I didn't send it to Canon. That Sigma lens is pretty heavy, otherwise if I had a smaller lens I believe the small 2 1/2 foot drop in a padded bag onto a dirt ground would not have caused any damage.
Coincidence! It’s still my go to camera.
This is a really great video Thanks!
What a great review. But, can someone explain what time recording it can do in 1 take for overheat or automatically stop? Thanks
Only 20 min take, no overheating on mine yet
I still run the OG Canon m5. Love the size and capabilities.
i enjoyed watching that 60 seconds broll scene 😊 amazing
I love my M50. Always have and when i added the Sigma 16mm f1.4 I fell in love all over again. The nifty 50 withe speed booster also works great for me. I still would like the m6 mkii and the sigma 24-70 f 2.8 so I can start shooting in 4K.
What is a speed booster
I wish I had the Canon M50 Mark2 it looks awesome.
I want one of these so baddd. Trying to get this side hustle and career change started.
fun and cool footage, my dude!
The tread lightly shirt ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is random but a bit of your video on the Arri Alexa Lf is in the new beast react video
OHHHH!!! That was YOU GUYS at the Portland Japanese Garden!
After potato always using his professional camera for soo long time and feed us with filmic images, when he switched to M50 and shows Dylan footage talking story blocks, I start to feelthe image looks video-ish. Does not mean it's bad, i'm just saying wow that such a quite difference on images looks!
Nice video as usual! The best quote to refer to the M50 is "it looks decent" ;D I'm still using two of the original M50s. I turn down the sharpness a bit, but besides that I agree it does look good out of the camera. I finally picked up the M6 mark ii so I could get DPAF in 4k and use it with the Atomos Ninja V.
@he1chy v2 No it's in the camera settings called "picture style". Under the default "guided" menu you select "shooting settings", press OK, and then go to tab 3 with the option "picture style". In there you can select different pre-made options and/or customize them by pressing the "info" button. In the customization page you've got sharpness, contrast, saturation, and color tone that can be adjusted with sliders.
I had both the m50 and G85 and really liked the g85 a lot better as far as usability and image quality.
I love my m50 and still use it but I don’t recommend it over the zv1 or zv e10. For someone looking at their first camera I tend to steer them to the zv1 since it is a great pocketable camera that has very good low light capability out of the box and no crop on the 4K. Allows you to record 4K and crop in post for those dramatic shots. The extra $100 is worth it. Or extra 200 for the e10 if you want the flexibility of detachable lenses.
I just got both cameras. And i record outside and the white is so outblown in the zv1. M50 levels it down to not make the video look too white. Im trying to figure out how to fix this or im gonna have to return it
@@klolz1740 if everything is set to automatic then hit the Fn button go to ND and turn it on. Typically I run in movie mode with shutter priority and set shutter to 1/50 or 1/60 depending if I’m running 24p or 30p respectively. With everything else set automatic and just change the ND filter when I go outside. Make sure your exposure setting is between 0.0 and +0.7 too much higher the image will be blown out and lower than 0.0 will be too dark.
I've signed up for everything Dylan has ever talked about on your channels. Please, PLEASE, stop having him do the ads. I can't afford it anymore.
Congrats to the newlyweds :) Who is the other young lady that was on a scooter - she has great camera presence...
I am from India and I love your video's you inspired me to start creating video's .
