One thing about the R50 that not many people point out is the inability to use a regular flash with it. If you pay close attention, it doesn't have the contacts to allow a regular flash to trigger. Instead, you need to use Canon's new proprietary flash. So, a hobbyist thinking about using flash photography on a budget should still consider the M50 for that purpose.
I haven’t seen the R50 in the flesh, but according to the product manual you can use any speedlite type flash including non-Canon. Are you saying the flash shoe is not TTL compatible? Cause the manual does not give that impression
Iam a Canon user. Having M5, M3, M6 II, 5DIV, 6D, 60D...To be honest....I LOVE the M mount. It was one of Canon's best ideas. It's a shame they discontinued that mount.
Thank you, I am glad to see the two side by side! I have the M50 mark II, and got it 1 month before R50 came out... :( Also, while I love the M50, I am also thinking of uprgading it as it fares not well in low light situations (photos get grainy fast already at ISO800, and significant loss in dynamic range, while 1080p videos are useful even in ISO1600). I am using it for both video and photos. I use only the 1080p from a stand, and I am perfectly happy with the video performance as far as picture quality and focusing. Also, the mic input makes a tremendous impact. So, it is the perfect camera for my little YT channel. Also, I can take it with me to shoot photos. While the M lens series is now "outdated", they have the advtnatge that neither the EF nor the RF lenses have: COMPACTNESS. (Funny though that the much older EF lenses are not called outdated.. it's just a question of framing. I think there's nothing outdated about the smallest and lightest lenses ever for Canon EOS cameras.) The strength of the M50 is the tiny form factor, the ability to take quality shots in daylight conditions without packing an intrusive monster. With the EF-M 22mm lens, it is as tiny as a point and shoot camera, and you can even put in in your pocket and take everywhere with you. To me, that is the #1 strength of the 50 series. And that's what is lost when we go to the R series, as the R lenses are monsters of a beast, the huge lens defeats the very purpose of the tiny body. Even the relatively smaller RF-S lenses are much bigger than the EF-M counterparts, and more expensive as well. Better optical quality though, but if I am looking for a significant quality jump from the M50, I would want to go for a full frame R model and the full frame heavy and bulky RF lenes. However commendable, I find the R50 a misfire, if I were to jump up from the M50 it would be the RP or the R for photos only, and likely the R8 if I also wanted to use it for videos as well and get it at a sane price. Also, for those who do not have either camera yet, I would still recommend the M50: the real reason for me to get either M50 or R50 VS the more expensive R models are the price and compactness - and the M50 (considering the lens as well) fares much better in both categories. For a real step-up from he M50, I'd go with the RP/R (for photos mainly) or R8 (video and sports)...
Hey fair points! I always did enjoy how compact the EF-M lenses were. I suppose I’m looking at this comparison from the perspective of someone who already owns RF glass. The RP would potentially be a great full frame upgrade from the M50. Probably could snag it for a solid price on eBay. Thanks for stopping by the channel
I have the M50 and the RP, I Also use the R from time to time. I like actually to shoot with the RP for family stuff and private events, but be clear that dynamic range is even inferior to the M50. Also the battery life is not better if not even worse. Image Quality was much better on the R but I didn’t like the handling and layout. A bonus is that you can charge the new cameras with usb-c, which is for me quite a big deal, when I am traveling. I still love the M50 and it is such a shame that there never was a decent standard zoom lens. If I had to buy a new camera from Canon (I don’t do video) it would be definitely the R8 or maybe R6II for the better ergonomics and battery life. Maybe also a used R6 mk1.

The one thing that the R50 is missing is the one lens that made the M50 a category killer: the EF-M 22 mm f/2.0 STM. Until and unless Canon releases an RF mount equivalent, the R50 is an also-ran. Right now, the M50 MkII with the 22 mm lens is still unbeatable for a compact camera with a proper viewfinder.
Great presentation guys! If I wanted something better than the M50 but I wasn't willing to spend two or three times the price, I would spend $200 more and get the R10.

The R50 is basically an M50 Mk III with an R lens mount instead of an M lens mount. Canon has decided to support only one lens mount which makes sense from a corporate point of view. However, despite the hype in the video above, 1080P at 24, 25, 30, or 60 fps is more than adequate for pretty much anyone who only plans on owning one camera as 1080P is the broadcast standard and 4K is far greater resolution than is of practical value on most computer screens, all cell phones, and most people viewing large screen televisions. Resolutions above 4K are primarily for theatrical release. While a fun effect, slo-mo just isn't used all that much. If you actually need high speed video, then it is probably better to rent specialized equipment for the project. The R50 has improved autofocus which is primarily of use to amateurs. Derisively branding either the M50 or the R50 as a beginner camera is disingenuous as great photographs and videos have been produced with far less capable equipment. And, you can easily produce crap using Arriflex and Hassleblad equipment.
A couple of years ago I "downgraded" from a well used 7D to an M2 and then an M50. I have a nice, but not complete, assortment of M lenses, as well as my EF L telephotos. I thought even though Canon was killing off the M series, I could go for quite a while before I would have to upgrade to an $$R$$...with the R50 it seems like it might not be as far away as I thought!
I'm a kickboxer and jiujitsu practitioner. At my gym we tend to record using our phones in order to go back and reference certain moments in training and offer advice, critique, etc. Lately we've been having issues where our phones are simply unable to capture certain moments with the clearness that we'd like, usually due to the fact we're moving too fast for the iphone 10 or so to be able to catch the moments we really want to focus on. I've been looking at getting a dedicated camera for recording as well as for my own personal foray into photography. What sort of specs should I be looking at and what camera would would you suggest?
Hey man, that's sounds pretty cool! It's difficult to recommend anything specific without knowing a budget. That said, if clarity is the issue, I would look for something that can record in 4k at 60fps and then pair it with a decent optic. The thing is, it can get really expensive quick. Maybe consider a camera that is not super new that way you can save a bit buying it second hand. Hopefully this is helpful
Hii I'm new to cameras and I was wondering why you shouldn't use the HDR PQ? I recently got the R50 and have been seeing some videos about shooting HDR PQ but no one mentions the why not, if someone could please explain to me the reason please✨
Oh snap, I wonder why YT isn’t sharing my videos? Odd. Appreciate you letting me know. But yeah man, the little R50 is kinda nuts for the price. I really dig it.
I'm a new parent and want a camera for taking photos of my newborn as she grows up. I came across the M50 and seems like I'll get good quality photos. Do you have any other recommendations
If you are trying to take photos of your new baby (congratulations by the way!) I think the Canon M50 is a great choice. Consider buying the 22mm f2 lens to pair with it.
Get the R50. It has better autofocus, which is exactly what you want for shooting children that are *always* moving. But get it with a prime lens (RF 16mm f2.8 or 24mm f1.8). Starting with a prime lens will help you become a better photographer much faster. If you have a specialist camera store near you, have them explain the prime lens thing to you (skip the general electronics stores, they are usually clueless). Simply put: for shooting children you want the best autofocus possible and for shooting people in general you want a lens that creates shallow depth of field for more likeable photos.
What do you mean by cinema videos? Typically when you get into video focused cameras, the price goes up a bit. Idk what your budget is, but the Panasonic S5 mkII is a great choice right now as a video focused hybrid camera.
As a beginner/never used any camera before,then what should be the choice in terms of handling? r50 or RP? Interested in nature and wildlife photography.
I think I will hold onto the m50 for a little while longer and see what other cameras come out of the compact R range; I think the G series is about due for an upgrade
@@jardeshna I think the M50 Mk1 is becoming a little dated now; used, for 500 eur I don't think is a great bargain and your money may be better spent on another model, but then it depends what features you are personally seeking and what you want to use it for. The M mount is being discontinued and it seems like the future is with their R range looking forward. Saying that though I do still enjoy using the M50 for holidays, day to day use, and behind the scenes footage on shoots. Just be aware of the pros and cons before buying.
Great video! I have the M50 still and am super happy with the results I'm getting. Currently using the Sigma 16mm, Canon 50mm and will purchase the Sigma 30mm later today for a wedding this week. I can see why the R50 would be the better choice for people who don't have a camera yet since I almost paid the same amount for the M50 at the time, especially when you can use the R-lenses in the future when you upgrade to the R6 (which I am planning on doing). Using the M50 for RUclips and Instagram content is really more than enough with the prime lenses I'm using. As long as people keep asking which camera I'm using for my content I will keep using my M50 until I'm experiencing true limitations.
So I solely do photography with my Rebel T6. I do dable in video but mostly on my phone, but not the main point. The T6 is starting to show it's age now in 2023 and I wanted to upgrade to the M50 ii for photos but now with the R50 out I can't tell if I should upgrade to that instead. With someone who mainly does photography which do you all recommend I upgrade to?? thanks in advance!
Honestly you could totally save some cash and snag the M50. It still shoots RAW photos which is good, and the small lenses are nice. The only downside is that the camera/lenses won’t grow with you since Canon discontinued the M line. Hope this helps
I do know that. To be honest there really aren’t too many differences between the Mki and the Mkii. The Mkii was a disappointment when it released because it didn’t fix any of the main issues the original had. I don’t think using the original M50 affected my comparison. Thanks for bringing it up though.
@@connormccaskill Thanks for the reply. The whole M-community were disappointed when the M50ii was announced as we were all expecting a M5 MkII (basically an M6ii plus IBIS in an M5/M50 body with built-in EVF) but all we got was a software upgrade. However, in use (I use 1xM50 and 1xM50Mkii for wedding photography), their focusing performances are vastly different. The M50ii s an absolute joy to use and so accurate
Does the R50 mic input jack have true stereo input for stereo mics? The m50 was supposed to have this, but I guess it was a firmware issue and never got fixed, but it's clearly advertised as stereo on the specifcations, but only does Mono input.
@@gcvrsa True, they haven't supported the M line....However, the head of Canon said it was "not" discontinuing the EOS M line right now due to strong sales.
This is actually extremely helpful. I'm 13 and I'm trying to upgrade from my GoPro Hero 7 Silver to a "proper" camera. I was looking at camera such as the EOS Rebel T7, the Nikon Z30, and the EOS M50 Mark II but I never thought of the R50. This video definitely helped out with my choice so now I'm on my journey to making the $670 I'll need to buy the R50 with the kit lens 👍
It is very comparable to the ZVE10. Both are 4k. Both are compact. Both are the same price (give or take). I think it'll be down to personal preference. I do think that the Canon color, in the image is a bit more pleasing since they are both 8bit cameras.
Both are great. I think you should look at what system you'd like to grow into. Do you find that you like the higher end Sony cameras like the A74 or on the Canon side, the R6 Mk2. The Canon R50 is a bit newer than the Sony ZV-E10 so it does have a few spiffy features. Either way you can't go wrong
You know, I forgot to test rolling shutter. I just let my friend borrow the camera, but if I get a chance to test it, I will let you know here. However, if I had to guess, I imagine it probably performs better than the M50.
Replying so that I can find out as well, the M50 is the only camera I've ever owned where I notice the rolling shutter and I'd love to see that improved.
I am a real estate photographer trying to get into real estate videographer. I have a 80D and its too heavy which means the gimbal I buy is also going to expensive. Thinking of shifting to R50 and then get a smaller gimbal like Zhiyun Weebill S. Are Canon 80D and R50 comparable?
I’d say so, you’ll get a nice bump in tech (better AF and such), but you may not like the smaller ergonomics. Maybe try renting one to see if it works for you
@@connormccaskill Hey so I did check it out in person and I actually love the size of it. I had sort of stopped using my camera for travel because of 80D's bulkiness but I can see myself using more along with my professional work! Thanks for the info :)
Both are relatively different. If you are looking for the easiest camera to use, the Canon R50 is the way to go. The Fujifilm will be a bit more of a pain to use, but it has some fun personality and style. Either way, buy whichever one makes you happiest!
I want to buy my first camera, I had a dream since childhood to photograph, by the age of 40 I finally realized that it was time to do what I want to do! The choice fell on the M50
So, I've been wanting the Canon M50 Mark II for over a year. I've been saving religiously. My husband and I finally decided to purchase, but I got nervous and wanted to check reviews one last time. Low and behold, a new camera is on the scene! Now, I don't know whether to go for the now reduced-price M50 or the new contender... :O I'll be watching reviews all day as usual. Please provide advice in the comments.
Definitely don't feel like you need to get the latest and greatest. The M50II is still plenty of camera for a lot of people. Also if you already have lenses, it might be a good choice. That said, I personally like the R50 more
I was on the fence between the two as I haven’t had a slr style camera in years (last one I’ve used was a 600d,) I decided on the r50. I liked the extra auto mode features provided while I get used to photography again.
I’m thinking of selling my m50 Camera with 18-150 3.5-6.5 is stm (400 dollar lense ) And 22mm f2 stm (250 dollar lense ) With 2 canon batteries (120 dollar value) For 900, I only used it in dry weather and barely used it tbh. Never had an issue with it . I’m looking into going full frame Nikon . If you are interested let me know!
…I bought the M50 mark ii used. As much as I would have preferred the R50, I had cost to consider. I think the m50 will do for photos and the occasional 4k (emphasis on occasional) video. Or am I screwed on arrival with the M50 and I got something outdated and dumb? :(
Depends how you look at it. I own m50mkII and m6mkII and I intend to stay with them until they brake. I would say that any APSC camera made in the last 5 years is good enough to use for the next few years.
I have the M50 and it's still capable for what I need. I mostly take pictures and occasionally short videos. I believe this is the replacement for the M50 and sorry for the M series demise.
Hey there! I am looking for a camera that can shoot good photos with good 4k video that is better than an iPhone XR camera that is around 600 or less? Thanks!
@@connormccaskill one of the videos that got me to buy into m50 after my EOS M. Now I’m using a Fujifilm XH2S because I don’t need to focus on color grading and post editing of photos since using film simulations but I turned on my M50 and it was nostalgic and started using it again for candid photos.
The problem is that here in Spain the R50 retail price is around 900€, while you can get the M50 for 450€ in the used market, in really good conditions. So yeah, they R50 may be better, but still, double the price. That means if you look from a price standpoint the M50 is still a solid option to beginners.
as a new years res i want to be self taught hobby photography and I'm glad I waited cuz I knew the m50 was old because of the mk2 now to know that I can also record with it in 4k no crop. as a beginner im glad and as its something that I didnt take into consideration when I first looked. And knowing from building my pc there's always something new coming later so I kinda hoped that something would and im confident that the r50 will do what I want and more.
It does. Put it in movie mode and you'll see it in the menu. I use it with my Ninja and what I love about the R50 is that the input matches the camera settings. The touch screen on camera can also be used to change focus points while recording on the external monitor.
It's market segmentation. Most cheaper cameras are capable of much more, but if you want better functionality, you have to pay for a higher end model 🤷♂️ (Just look at the cheapest Sony ZV camera that doesn't even have RAW photo image format.)
Hi I am a beauty blogger and I want to upgrade my quality (I film with iPhone) I was still thinking about purchasing the M50 but now I am convinced to get the R50 instead do you have any lense to recommend to upgrade my “reel, TikTok” videos ?
Hey there! Really depends on your budget honestly. I think if you got the Canon RF to EF adapter and also got the Sigma 18-35mm f2.8 lens that would be a great combo. The only thing is, it is a bit expensive. You could also just get the Canon RF-S 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 and that would cover you with just one lens for much cheaper. Here are links: Adapter (on sale right now): amzn.to/3MpKkVy Sigma Lens (on sale right now): amzn.to/40Rkn5B Canon Lens: amzn.to/43jj6Gq
to me upgrade is not worth it, affordable lenses on M mount are amazing compared to R which are super expensive but price you pay for it won't make your photo better 3 or 4 time more... so M50 wins big time ... for people who have money or those who are hunting pixels maybe R50 but who knows.. maybe cannon will do another trick telling you the R is the future like they did with M but discontinued it all to introduce something new so they can cash up again so yea not worth the risk
Im happy to see that they made a real Canon M50 Mark II. What I mean by that is they actaully added practical features that people have been wanting for a while now. But the same time I'm sad because they completely abandoned the entire M line up. The m line had one specific type of lens that other companies should make and that was its 32mm f1.4. I'm planning releasing a video soon on why the m50 would still be a good buy then following it up with that specific lens and why more camera manufactures to make lenses similar to that
Si tienen la M50 sigan haciendo lo que les gusta; al final es compartir lo que les gusta ya sea un video o una foto para el aficionado o influencer de redes sociales..si les pagan por hacer un trabajo tengan equipos adecuados al coste de su trabajo. En conclusión si ya tienes la M50 úsala y sácale todo el jugo a tu cámara y si tienes necesidad más adelante de actualizar espera una oferta y ve por algo mucho mejor.
@@connormccaskill both APS-C sensor. Both don’t have ibis. Both are RF/S mount. Could be a very interesting video to dive into and make something funny with Dave cooking some burn lyrics hehe.
"Long ago" I bought the Sony a6400, and although I have seen comparisons between the newer a6400 and ZVE10, I noted the differences but that was about it. Now looking at your M50 & R50 comparison, I noticed something that surprised me. The a6400 gave a video look that I associated with Canon, while the ZVE10 looked more traditional Sony. Now, looking at your M50 & R50 comparison (right after watching the Sony comparison), I noted that both outputted video more traditionally Sony-ish (darker shadows, more contrasty) Huh? Ok, now I'm surprised. I don't know what comes out of the HDMI port of the a6400 -- maybe you can record 10-bit, but I have never tried, but how does the a6400 internal video look more Canon than a Canon? "ruclips.net/video/dIP3Q8d2Rio/видео.html"
No amount of new and better tech on those new RF-S mount cameras makes up for the complete absence of a single lens that is remotely attractive, compelling or simply bright/fast. A turd system is still a turd system. No lenses = 💩

And, you can easily produce crap using Arriflex and Hassleblad equipment.
A couple of years ago I "downgraded" from a well used 7D to an M2 and then an M50. I have a nice, but not complete, assortment of M lenses, as well as my EF L telephotos. I thought even though Canon was killing off the M series, I could go for quite a while before I would have to upgrade to an $$R$$...with the R50 it seems like it might not be as far away as I thought!
I'm a kickboxer and jiujitsu practitioner. At my gym we tend to record using our phones in order to go back and reference certain moments in training and offer advice, critique, etc. Lately we've been having issues where our phones are simply unable to capture certain moments with the clearness that we'd like, usually due to the fact we're moving too fast for the iphone 10 or so to be able to catch the moments we really want to focus on. I've been looking at getting a dedicated camera for recording as well as for my own personal foray into photography. What sort of specs should I be looking at and what camera would would you suggest?
Hey man, that's sounds pretty cool! It's difficult to recommend anything specific without knowing a budget. That said, if clarity is the issue, I would look for something that can record in 4k at 60fps and then pair it with a decent optic. The thing is, it can get really expensive quick. Maybe consider a camera that is not super new that way you can save a bit buying it second hand. Hopefully this is helpful
I love your edit, its really fun to watch 🥰
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Hii I'm new to cameras and I was wondering why you shouldn't use the HDR PQ? I recently got the R50 and have been seeing some videos about shooting HDR PQ but no one mentions the why not, if someone could please explain to me the reason please✨
I started on the m50 mark ii and my s5iix just came today!!
That’s so awesome 👏 great upgrade
Another video I did NOT get a notification for! Weird. Great video btw! This a HELL of a camera for the price!
Oh snap, I wonder why YT isn’t sharing my videos? Odd. Appreciate you letting me know. But yeah man, the little R50 is kinda nuts for the price. I really dig it.
I'm a new parent and want a camera for taking photos of my newborn as she grows up. I came across the M50 and seems like I'll get good quality photos. Do you have any other recommendations
If you are trying to take photos of your new baby (congratulations by the way!) I think the Canon M50 is a great choice. Consider buying the 22mm f2 lens to pair with it.
Get the R50. It has better autofocus, which is exactly what you want for shooting children that are *always* moving.
But get it with a prime lens (RF 16mm f2.8 or 24mm f1.8). Starting with a prime lens will help you become a better photographer much faster. If you have a specialist camera store near you, have them explain the prime lens thing to you (skip the general electronics stores, they are usually clueless).
Simply put: for shooting children you want the best autofocus possible and for shooting people in general you want a lens that creates shallow depth of field for more likeable photos.
Thank you sooooo much for this video!!!
You are so welcome!
Hey Conor, any recommendation on a beginner camera for cinema videos? Im looking to purchase my first camera but don't know where to start!
What do you mean by cinema videos? Typically when you get into video focused cameras, the price goes up a bit. Idk what your budget is, but the Panasonic S5 mkII is a great choice right now as a video focused hybrid camera.
@@connormccaskill I meant by taking cinematic videos and possible short films. Color grading is huge for me. Budget is 1,500 more or less.
As a beginner/never used any camera before,then what should be the choice in terms of handling? r50 or RP? Interested in nature and wildlife photography.
I think I will hold onto the m50 for a little while longer and see what other cameras come out of the compact R range; I think the G series is about due for an upgrade
I am looking at a used M50 Mk1 15-45 for 500eur, do you recommend any newer cameras under the same range or is the M50 a good choice?
Thanks.
@@jardeshna I think the M50 Mk1 is becoming a little dated now; used, for 500 eur I don't think is a great bargain and your money may be better spent on another model, but then it depends what features you are personally seeking and what you want to use it for. The M mount is being discontinued and it seems like the future is with their R range looking forward. Saying that though I do still enjoy using the M50 for holidays, day to day use, and behind the scenes footage on shoots. Just be aware of the pros and cons before buying.
The canon m50 can also become a webcam. Just plug it in via micro usb and the canon eos utility software
Great video! I have the M50 still and am super happy with the results I'm getting. Currently using the Sigma 16mm, Canon 50mm and will purchase the Sigma 30mm later today for a wedding this week. I can see why the R50 would be the better choice for people who don't have a camera yet since I almost paid the same amount for the M50 at the time, especially when you can use the R-lenses in the future when you upgrade to the R6 (which I am planning on doing).
Using the M50 for RUclips and Instagram content is really more than enough with the prime lenses I'm using. As long as people keep asking which camera I'm using for my content I will keep using my M50 until I'm experiencing true limitations.
That’s awesome 👏 yeah lenses really do help make the camera great! Thanks for sharing
So I solely do photography with my Rebel T6. I do dable in video but mostly on my phone, but not the main point. The T6 is starting to show it's age now in 2023 and I wanted to upgrade to the M50 ii for photos but now with the R50 out I can't tell if I should upgrade to that instead. With someone who mainly does photography which do you all recommend I upgrade to?? thanks in advance!
Honestly you could totally save some cash and snag the M50. It still shoots RAW photos which is good, and the small lenses are nice. The only downside is that the camera/lenses won’t grow with you since Canon discontinued the M line. Hope this helps
@@connormccaskill yes, totally helps! Thanks!
@@ChavaM88which one did u end up getting
You DO know there is a M50 Mkii - you should have reviewed that instead as there are a number of improvements over the original M50
I do know that. To be honest there really aren’t too many differences between the Mki and the Mkii. The Mkii was a disappointment when it released because it didn’t fix any of the main issues the original had. I don’t think using the original M50 affected my comparison. Thanks for bringing it up though.
@@connormccaskill Thanks for the reply. The whole M-community were disappointed when the M50ii was announced as we were all expecting a M5 MkII (basically an M6ii plus IBIS in an M5/M50 body with built-in EVF) but all we got was a software upgrade.
However, in use (I use 1xM50 and 1xM50Mkii for wedding photography), their focusing performances are vastly different. The M50ii s an absolute joy to use and so accurate
Awesome job, Connor and David!
Appreciate it man 🙌🏻
Does the R50 mic input jack have true stereo input for stereo mics? The m50 was supposed to have this, but I guess it was a firmware issue and never got fixed, but it's clearly advertised as stereo on the specifcations, but only does Mono input.
Does the R50 have a full X hotshoe??
Newsflash! Canon executives have stated recently that they are "not" discontinuing the EOS M line right now.
Oh that's good to know! Thanks for the information
There hasn't been a new EF-M lens in 5 years.
@@gcvrsa True, they haven't supported the M line....However, the head of Canon said it was "not" discontinuing the EOS M line right now due to strong sales.
Nice breakdown! Love how you put this together :)
Glad you liked it!
Great video you two!
Thank you 🙏🏻
I've seen the R50 in person and i gotta say, it's a nice little mirrorless camera
This is actually extremely helpful. I'm 13 and I'm trying to upgrade from my GoPro Hero 7 Silver to a "proper" camera. I was looking at camera such as the EOS Rebel T7, the Nikon Z30, and the EOS M50 Mark II but I never thought of the R50. This video definitely helped out with my choice so now I'm on my journey to making the $670 I'll need to buy the R50 with the kit lens 👍
Hey man, I'm really glad you found this video helpful! Good luck to you on your camera journey!
@@connormccaskill Thanks :)
Watching this thinking "wayment, I know where they are!" 🙊 Great review and concise!
Haha it makes for a great film location! Glad you enjoyed the video
Newbie here: how do this compare to the Sony ZV?
It is very comparable to the ZVE10. Both are 4k. Both are compact. Both are the same price (give or take). I think it'll be down to personal preference. I do think that the Canon color, in the image is a bit more pleasing since they are both 8bit cameras.
@@connormccaskill thx mate
@@Driftuner For sure
Looking into the r50 or sony zv e-10 idk which on to get.
Both are great. I think you should look at what system you'd like to grow into. Do you find that you like the higher end Sony cameras like the A74 or on the Canon side, the R6 Mk2. The Canon R50 is a bit newer than the Sony ZV-E10 so it does have a few spiffy features. Either way you can't go wrong
The dream team is back together! Let get this video more viral than the last M50 video
Haha that would be amazing
Thinking of buying this for my wife... Does the R50 have the same rolling shutter problems with 4k?
You know, I forgot to test rolling shutter. I just let my friend borrow the camera, but if I get a chance to test it, I will let you know here. However, if I had to guess, I imagine it probably performs better than the M50.
@@connormccaskill Thank you very much! I would think/hope it's better, but I'm very cautiously optimistic. 🙃
@@jdavidwebb Here's hoping 🤞🏼
Replying so that I can find out as well, the M50 is the only camera I've ever owned where I notice the rolling shutter and I'd love to see that improved.
Which one is should I buy Sony A6400 or Canon R50
Well, I guess which system do you want to grow into? Do you like the Sony system and cameras or Canon? Both are good options at the end of the day
@@connormccaskill I am planning to buy a camera for first time
@@Abhish3k_R That's great! I think the R50 is a good beginner camera!
@@connormccaskill ok, thank you 😊
I am a real estate photographer trying to get into real estate videographer. I have a 80D and its too heavy which means the gimbal I buy is also going to expensive. Thinking of shifting to R50 and then get a smaller gimbal like Zhiyun Weebill S. Are Canon 80D and R50 comparable?
I’d say so, you’ll get a nice bump in tech (better AF and such), but you may not like the smaller ergonomics. Maybe try renting one to see if it works for you
@@connormccaskill Hey so I did check it out in person and I actually love the size of it. I had sort of stopped using my camera for travel because of 80D's bulkiness but I can see myself using more along with my professional work! Thanks for the info :)
Right on! Glad you are able to use it for your travel content!
Idk If I should get the Canon R50 or Fujifilm XS10. Seems like the AI is much better in the R50 considering it's a recent release. Any thoughts?
Both are relatively different. If you are looking for the easiest camera to use, the Canon R50 is the way to go. The Fujifilm will be a bit more of a pain to use, but it has some fun personality and style. Either way, buy whichever one makes you happiest!
Fuji will release the XS-20 at the end of May. I would go with Fuji as it has IBIS and a lot more lenses available
I want to buy my first camera, I had a dream since childhood to photograph, by the age of 40 I finally realized that it was time to do what I want to do! The choice fell on the M50
That's great! Glad you are able to do what you want to do. Good luck!
Can you do a comp between r10 and m50 I need a camera for travel and almost going towards r10
I’ll see what I can do!
@@connormccaskill thank you 😊 almost put the r10 into my card but will wait for a little more review
@@lifetimestoriesphotography I do think the R10 is a solid choice if you are able to swing the extra money.
@@connormccaskill yes that's not a problem
If you have to choose your first camera. Sony zv e10 or canon r50?
I'd pick the R50 between those two personally.
@@connormccaskillwhy?? Is microphone in canon r50 as good as sony sv e10?
So, I've been wanting the Canon M50 Mark II for over a year. I've been saving religiously. My husband and I finally decided to purchase, but I got nervous and wanted to check reviews one last time. Low and behold, a new camera is on the scene! Now, I don't know whether to go for the now reduced-price M50 or the new contender... :O I'll be watching reviews all day as usual. Please provide advice in the comments.
Definitely don't feel like you need to get the latest and greatest. The M50II is still plenty of camera for a lot of people. Also if you already have lenses, it might be a good choice. That said, I personally like the R50 more
I was on the fence between the two as I haven’t had a slr style camera in years (last one I’ve used was a 600d,) I decided on the r50. I liked the extra auto mode features provided while I get used to photography again.
I’m thinking of selling my
m50 Camera
with 18-150 3.5-6.5 is stm (400 dollar lense )
And 22mm f2 stm (250 dollar lense )
With 2 canon batteries (120 dollar value)
For 900,
I only used it in dry weather and barely used it tbh. Never had an issue with it . I’m looking into going full frame Nikon .
If you are interested let me know!
…I bought the M50 mark ii used. As much as I would have preferred the R50, I had cost to consider. I think the m50 will do for photos and the occasional 4k (emphasis on occasional) video. Or am I screwed on arrival with the M50 and I got something outdated and dumb? :(
Depends how you look at it. I own m50mkII and m6mkII and I intend to stay with them until they brake. I would say that any APSC camera made in the last 5 years is good enough to use for the next few years.
I have the M50 and it's still capable for what I need. I mostly take pictures and occasionally short videos. I believe this is the replacement for the M50 and sorry for the M series demise.
Do you think R50 is a good upgrade from Ti2? Or should I get the full frame?
It is a good upgrade, but go full-frame if you can afford it!
what is rolliing shuter of r50?
Awesome. Thanks!
You are welcome!
Hey there! I am looking for a camera that can shoot good photos with good 4k video that is better than an iPhone XR camera that is around 600 or less? Thanks!
The same place in TN that m50 video is nostalgic hehe.
Haha definitely intentional! Glad you’ve stuck around!
@@connormccaskill one of the videos that got me to buy into m50 after my EOS M. Now I’m using a Fujifilm XH2S because I don’t need to focus on color grading and post editing of photos since using film simulations but I turned on my M50 and it was nostalgic and started using it again for candid photos.
Both cameras can be used for live streaming as webcams
The problem is that here in Spain the R50 retail price is around 900€, while you can get the M50 for 450€ in the used market, in really good conditions.
So yeah, they R50 may be better, but still, double the price. That means if you look from a price standpoint the M50 is still a solid option to beginners.
Ah yeah that completely makes sense if that’s the price difference where you’re from!
Why we need second hand camera..i love r50
as a new years res i want to be self taught hobby photography and I'm glad I waited cuz I knew the m50 was old because of the mk2 now to know that I can also record with it in 4k no crop. as a beginner im glad and as its something that I didnt take into consideration when I first looked. And knowing from building my pc there's always something new coming later so I kinda hoped that something would and im confident that the r50 will do what I want and more.
does anyone know if you can buy a bigger grip for r50
Bro am bit confused, nikon z50 or canon r 50 which bone is better🥹
I’d choose the Canon R50 personally. The Z50 is cool though, I used it for a bit
I think we must compare apples with apples, apart from very distinguishing features, the price range is very important, otherwise whats the point.
Hi, do you know if the canon R50 has a clean hdmi output? if yes, how do I find it
It does. Put it in movie mode and you'll see it in the menu. I use it with my Ninja and what I love about the R50 is that the input matches the camera settings. The touch screen on camera can also be used to change focus points while recording on the external monitor.
@@kpmgearreview2391 thanks
Sorry, my English is not so good. I want to buy a camera to so good photos and videos for my family.. which camera is better? M50 ii or R50 ?
Interesting. Why compare 4k modes if you are upload video in 1080p
Should have done the comparison with the M50 Mk2
is it weird that i switch from a canon 5d mkiii to a m50 for work?
Not at all, it may be less “professional” but the tech is better
what about photos ?, i have a camera to take pictures is the r50 much better at taking pictures , I'm not interested in video.
What are the big differences between R50 and the R10
Asking as a beginner looking to get into photos and video
The big difference is a mechanical shutter and the ability to record 4k 60fps footage. It's just a slightly more powerful camera
Also faster photo shooting and larger buffer.
The R50 would perfectly meet my needs if only they'd thrown in CLog 1.
That would have been awesome! Who knows, maybe it will get it in an update
It's market segmentation. Most cheaper cameras are capable of much more, but if you want better functionality, you have to pay for a higher end model 🤷♂️ (Just look at the cheapest Sony ZV camera that doesn't even have RAW photo image format.)
M6 mark ii can be a better option for an upgrade guys
Hi I am a beauty blogger and I want to upgrade my quality (I film with iPhone) I was still thinking about purchasing the M50 but now I am convinced to get the R50 instead do you have any lense to recommend to upgrade my “reel, TikTok” videos ?
Hey there! Really depends on your budget honestly. I think if you got the Canon RF to EF adapter and also got the Sigma 18-35mm f2.8 lens that would be a great combo. The only thing is, it is a bit expensive. You could also just get the Canon RF-S 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 and that would cover you with just one lens for much cheaper. Here are links:
Adapter (on sale right now): amzn.to/3MpKkVy
Sigma Lens (on sale right now): amzn.to/40Rkn5B
Canon Lens: amzn.to/43jj6Gq
to me upgrade is not worth it, affordable lenses on M mount are amazing compared to R which are super expensive but price you pay for it won't make your photo better 3 or 4 time more... so M50 wins big time ... for people who have money or those who are hunting pixels maybe R50 but who knows.. maybe cannon will do another trick telling you the R is the future like they did with M but discontinued it all to introduce something new so they can cash up again so yea not worth the risk
Fair perspective. The M50 is still great for sure. The R lenses are great for whenever you want to upgrade
Thank you
You're welcome
I want the m50 and m100 back I want small
Im happy to see that they made a real Canon M50 Mark II. What I mean by that is they actaully added practical features that people have been wanting for a while now. But the same time I'm sad because they completely abandoned the entire M line up. The m line had one specific type of lens that other companies should make and that was its 32mm f1.4. I'm planning releasing a video soon on why the m50 would still be a good buy then following it up with that specific lens and why more camera manufactures to make lenses similar to that
So practical that you can’t put a normal flash in the shoe of the r50. 🥲
@@giancarloarrobarodriguez5291 True
Why buy a mount that is discontinued?
Because you could adapt it to an EF Mount if you’d want. However, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it anyway
Am I the only one who _prefers_ to have the right pinky underneath the camera?
You may just be ha
How is 900 euros budget?

canon is definitely positioning the r50 to go against the z50 haha
For sure and the Sony ZVE10
Z50 auto foccus very less compared to r50
Si tienen la M50 sigan haciendo lo que les gusta; al final es compartir lo que les gusta ya sea un video o una foto para el aficionado o influencer de redes sociales..si les pagan por hacer un trabajo tengan equipos adecuados al coste de su trabajo.

Post the m50/R50 meme. You won't.
Hahahaha might have to stay a secret 🤫
I felt like the R10 should have been the R50 just so weird Canon makes all these cameras each a little bit of this a little less of that LMAO lol
I know they really do make a TON of cameras. It’d be nice to see more lenses instead

I must've accidentally uploaded a 1080p file. My bad. Still looks good though
After experincing Canon M50 for a few years, I'm going for Sony next time. Canon is too late for the come back which is still selfish BS.

"Long ago" I bought the Sony a6400, and although I have seen comparisons between the newer a6400 and ZVE10, I noted the differences but that was about it. Now looking at your M50 & R50 comparison, I noticed something that surprised me. The a6400 gave a video look that I associated with Canon, while the ZVE10 looked more traditional Sony. Now, looking at your M50 & R50 comparison (right after watching the Sony comparison), I noted that both outputted video more traditionally Sony-ish (darker shadows, more contrasty) Huh? Ok, now I'm surprised. I don't know what comes out of the HDMI port of the a6400 -- maybe you can record 10-bit, but I have never tried, but how does the a6400 internal video look more Canon than a Canon? "ruclips.net/video/dIP3Q8d2Rio/видео.html"
No amount of new and better tech on those new RF-S mount cameras makes up for the complete absence of a single lens that is remotely attractive, compelling or simply bright/fast. A turd system is still a turd system. No lenses = 💩
Yeah their lens options are minimal.
m50 also works as webcam!!!
Hi i am new RUclips suggest one camera
Probably the R50
my canon m50 mark 2 locks on eyes.
Yay!
Thanks for being in the video 🙌🏻
