I've had my M50 for almost a year and love it. Coming back to this video after several months has been hugely helpful. You explain the stabilization features better than any other RUclipsr, most of whom say don't use the digital stabilization. But you have explained the intent of each. Digital IS "enabled" smooths out handheld jitters and bumps when walking, panning etc. "Enhanced" is for when you want a rock steady handheld shot without camera movement. If you try to pan it's trying to to make a moving object stand still and is constantly recalculating what that should be which is why it looks terrible. This one video has upped my game significantly (and helped me get full value out of the camera. Thank you.
Now if someone can explain how the 4k works... It uses less of the image on the sensor, yet gets more pixels of resolution and then you can zoom in still further in post and get 1080p image quality.
Great vid! I love the M50 and think it really has potential to be used in a much higher quality than people think.
Foreshadow your own channel much? EVERYONE SUBSCRIBE TO KINOTIKA!
Justin Reves ❤️❤️
Dude the colour settings absolutely changed the game for me, thankyou!
YAY!!!!
Great lighting with this camera is perfect
Dude! So helpful. I have been struggling to dial in my m50 for my channel. This is perfect. Can’t wait to try out the setups you described.
Awesome!
Thank you...Waiting for my Canon M 50 to arrive....will then watch it again☺
This video just saved me from thinking I needed a camera upgrade 🙌🏻
YAS!
Yeah, we always feel there's an itch to spend more to upgrade
the lens he used in the hockey video is 700 bugs!
I know it is a little bit irrelevant, but I have been browsing tons of M50 reviews etc and I just wanted to say that this is literally one of the first reviews where the person's way of speaking about this subject was so enjoyable. I know it is mainly about "subject" but the way you explain is really peaceful and easily understandable without excess bs. Thank you :)
YAS! That makes me happy. Thank you!
You do an excellent job at explaining everything in detail. A great speaking voice. Very friendly and made me feel very comfortable even though I'm new to making videos and don't know what I'm doing. Keep up the good work man!
You- are amazing.. thank you for sharing your craft
I really want to use these same custom picture profiles on the 90d. They worked great on the M50......thank you!!!!!
Just got one of these ... upgrading from shooting vids on my phone. So excited to use it! Thanks for the tips!
It's a nice upgrade!
same here!
Just got my m50 and this is helpful! Thank you for making the more technical things (like the specifics of how different stabilizers crop) understandable haha!
Awesome! Glad I could help.
Amazing camera. I got gifted by this and I moved to from my phone videos to vlogging on this. Learning it more and more
That camera is so good for vlogging and you seem really confortable with it!
Yeah, it's super handy! Love the size of it. Can't remember if I replied to your other comment about your 6D Mk II, but I am jealous of being able to have a blurry background like you would with a 16-35 f/2.8. I've been seeing a lot of people struggling to get the focus to be smooth on the 6D - I'm assuming that's because of the ultrasonic motors in most of the good Canon glass, but how has it been for you?
Thanks for this man! I'm really glad that you talk about working around the camera's flaws vs what it is out of the box as most people have reviewed this camera as. I really appreciate it. It's really helped me decide on going through with purchasing it because I'd like to challenge myself to see what type of story i can tell with a camera that I can pack around much easier as I travel around.
story always wins!
Brilliant and informative vid. Just bought the M50 and love it. Your settings advice is extremely helpful and appreciated. Thanks Alan
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback.
Thank you for all your M50 videos! I followed you when I bought the G85 and now onto the M50!
Awesome, thanks Andrew!!
Hey man, I've just started out with the Canon m50. Great video with Great tips. Not over the top fast talking crap like most tutorials! Subscribed :)
Glad it helped!
@@JustinReves It did indeed! It would mean a lot if you could subscribe to my channel and critique my videos as im just starting out with the m50! any tips would mean a lot buddy!
Will purchase soon..
thank you so much for this info, I'm thinking on getting one of this guys for my self
You’re welcome!
Awesome talk, awesome points, I just got M50 and this video got me on the right track.
🙌🙌
Thanks Justin! Clear explanation! Can you tell me what camera you used to shot yourself in this video and what lens please?
Awesome, video. Definitely like how go over everything. Some people take themselves a little to serious when they talk about cameras. Gets annoying. Thanks for the video. I’m loving my M50. I’ll be subscribing, friend. Take care.
Thanks Derek!
Thanks for your time sharing this. This is definitely helping me choose my new camera.
Hi, I'm interested in buying this camera so I can start making some films. What mic do you have on the camera or what mic would you recommend purchasing to go along with the camera? Also would you recommend any particular stand/tripod? Thank you.
I think starting with the Rode VideoMicro is the easiest way to get started! You can upgrade to the Rode VideoMic Pro+ and it will be a little quieter but I made a ton of videos with just the Micro. The camera isn't very heavy so you can almost use any tripod you want, but the more you spend, the more stable it'll be.
@@JustinReves Thank you!
Still learning every day with this camera. Thanks for the great video!
Great job on the B-Roll...Killer!!! What lens, camera settings and fps did you use for the concert footage? Was the camera hand held? It looks excellent and I know that is one of the toughest environments to properly film in. The colors and focus clarity look outstanding!!!
Thanks!! All shot handheld with the Sigma 18-35mm at f/1.8, 24fps, 1/50th, and whatever the ISO needed to be.
Your M50 videos have been very helpful! Ended up grabbing that and the Sigma!
Great vid. I'm a noob and the m50 that I just got is my first
Love your vids man, they get straight to the point haha
Haha thank you!
Dude, honestly thank God you making a video like this. You have definitely given me something to think about. 🙏🏾
Hey Justin - just curious if you had to get a mount adapter for the sigma lens to fit on the canon EF-M mount. I’m interested in the set up you have, but noticed the sigma mount says “EF” - have you had any issues? Would love your insight (eg any autofocus issues with the sigma lens etc) and you totally inspired me to max out the potential of my m50. Thanks! 🙏🏻
The Canon EF-M to EF adapter works GREAT with the Sigma (provided its the EF mount). Autofocus worked great and it was quiet if you used an external mic.
I recently bought a M50 and your video is the best M50 video I've seen! Well done dude! Smashed the link sub en kicked the bell.
Thanks for sharing these settings. Now I’m really curious about your editing settings because your the final product is fire!!
I just got this camera this was pretty helpful. Thanks man
This is a great video thank you
You’re welcome - thanks for the kind words
thanks for the time you put into this. one question: you seem to be the first guy to realize that it has clean HDMI out. two requests: could you see if it streams audio as well as video? If I am going to use it to livestream I would think that is important. Also, you might show us how to livestream with it. There are no other vids I can find on this with this model. Thanks!
I'll try it out soon!
Hey Justin! Thank you for making this video! So relevant.. All the videos on my channel were shot on an M50. I enjoyed you sharing how you'd get closer to a log setting on the M50. Subscribed!
I need to use these !! Thanks for your help ;)
Awesome! You’re most welcome.
About to go out and film documentary talking-head interviews and I'm probably going to use this camera because I will mostly be traveling solo and I need something light and decent. So thanks for this video! Very insightful! :)
It should be great for that - just do your interviews by a good source of light.
@@JustinReves thanks for the tip! Probably gonna buy an extra battery or two as well haha...
Great review 👌🏼
Thank you!
Thanks for the tips - I have been trying this camera at out a pretty basic level but want to step up my game now so some good ideas here
THANKS for the valuable info, just got my M50 and love it. Liked and subbed....
Awesome!! It's such a great little camera. Just works.
Monitor audio input level while recording by downloading the camera app on another device (phone/laptop) the app also allows you to adjust focus as well as other things. I dont know if it's a canon app or what. I seen it done in another video
Best review so far. Not dwelling on how bad 4K is, and in fact i love how positive you are about it. I feel the same. The 4K is lacking compared to others but the camera has so much more to offer., and I think the crop factor combined with a fast prime makes it quite unique.
You can get the audio meters if you connect it to an external monitor.
Not to be confused with Cinematic; the other overly used term on YT. You're def. putting the M50 through it's paces and I took a lot from your breakdown on picture profiles. Going back to making some more drastic adjustments on the profiles after watching. Thanks dude!
Daniel Ince the color profiles really make Canon's super dynamic.
Look up Cinestyle
Or Marvel Cinema
Or even Superflat
They're user made and can be simply downloaded into most Canon's - including M50 or 5DM3+. Up to three different user saved! Just use your EOS Utility.
Just got the M50 and a 22mm f2 yesterday, I'm IN LOVE!!!!!!! Great video man, subbed :)
Thanks for the great tips on m50
Awesome video, 1 year late, but still took the m50. Thanks to your guide, i was able to get the most out of my puny little m50! Played with it a while, till i got my speedbooster, and it opened up a whole new level on this little monster!
Yeah, that was a huge help! Coming from Panasonic and Sony I always turned the sharpness all down... I almost sold this camera; I shot a video today, and it looks great!
Bought one today. This was helpful :-)
Awesome! It's GREAT.
You make such great Videos Man. This is Amazing!!!!!
Appreciate that Jesse!
Good video Justin - hey do you no if there is a setting to slow down the dual pixel focus while racking between subject matter when filming - it would be nice to slow it down a bit.
no, unfortunately. no option to slow it down. wish they offered this like Sony does.
Thanks mate - much appreciated.
Great video! Do you still recommend this camera? (I am starting a YT channel (vlogging))
Absolutely!
I cannot wait to see what Canon will bring in its full frame ML cameras. I love my 5D4 but if I can do my vids with something lighter and better codec I would be really happy. The crop on the 5D4's 4K video doesnt bother me since I have a Tamron 15-30 that it does great but the massive used of memory on 4K is the killer.
You probably know this but in a recent video by Cody Warner he showed that the little divots on the rode mic can hold the mic cord so that it isn't constantly bouncing... I didn't until he showed me but I kept noticing it during your video so figured I would say something.
I only now know this because I also saw that shirtless wonder drop straight 🔥🔥🔥in that video, hahaha.
Love the hat! and thanks for the tips
What camera you use to shoot this? Your color is on point.
Great video! Thank you. What tripod are you using?
Hey Justin! Are you the videographer for the Pats? I do video for an AHL team! Love the video. Very helpful!
Which AHL team?? This was just a one-off for the Memorial Cup where we were doing some coverage, but we love shooting hockey stuff.
Justin Reves That sounds like fun! I work for the San Jose Barracuda.
dude, when you say you change the picture profile, it would help if you could show how to get there, I've been fidling with the menu for 30 minutes and cannot find it :(
Search for “Customizing Picture Styles” in the manual and it should bring you to the right spot! They might not show it to you if you’re in an Auto or P mode because it’s a bit more advanced.
Justin Reves thanks !!
How are 3rd party lenses with dual pixel auto-focus? Nice video, a lot of interesting little adjustments to make using it more efficient. I still need to get into my SL2's settings. Haven't even touched the custom menu yet, lol.
My Sigma 18-35 works GREAT.
What kind of lights are you using in the background? I really like those colors.
So my "hair light" had a purple gel on it and then there's two lamps with cheap LED light bulbs on either side that you can change the colour on.
@@JustinReves really love the look of colors in the back too!! Do you have a different colored light on each side?
gracias compadre saludos desde colombia un abrazo parcero!!
hi justin, do you have a video on how the preamps are on the m50? is it noisy or much better /comparable to other high ends cameras? i'm thinking about getting the videomicro to go with that. also was asking you on the vlog you did with greg to see what you used as a mic. thank you in advance.
Hey! I think the preamps are fine. Use it with a VideoMicro and it’s pretty good. I guess if you think that’s good enough - that’s what we use!
My wife and I would like to shoot landscape videos to post on RUclips. What type of lens would you recommend?
Hey Justin!! Nice videos!!! But I still split between getting a SL2 vs M50!! Can you get the audio levels display on the SL2? Can you charge the SL2 by usb? And last but not least can you customize buttons like you do on the M50? Thanks!! Keep uploading!!
I can't remember if you can see audio but I'd assume no. can't charge via usb. don't think you get the same customization options for buttons but you do get some! check out Kinotika - they made a comparison video!
Zagalo which camera did you end up buying the sl2 or m50?
Useful information, thanks.
lovely video .. but .. mate .. i am unable to focus 2 talents in my talk show episodes .. any suggestions of FOCUS ?
Either put them equal distance from the camera or crank up that aperture to a high number so more is in focus?
@@JustinReves ok . thanks . i will try that
Seeing the abilities of the M50 and the slightly more expensive 70D makes me slightly regret the investment I have in the G7 simply because of the rock solid Dual Pixel Autofocus :(
I mean, the G7 is almost 3 years old now. Still WILD what it can do for such a cheap camera that is that old, but that's the problem with tech...changes so fast!
Huge help. Thanks for these tips.
👊
Hi Justin, yep I'm impressed, good work & thoughts, … I assume the desk talking portion was shot with the M50 too ?
Cheers from Straya
Probably my a6500 if I had the M50 in my hands. But my "Best Canon Camera" video was shot in 4K on my M50 and it looks STUNNING.
Hey, Justin I just subscribed to your channel!. Thanks for the video man. I have some questions, I wanna use this camera for music videos, is it good for that?. Another question is about battery life and placement. I mean if I put this camera on a tripod, do I have to take it off in order to change the batteries? and how is the battery life?
Thanks!
You do have to take the plate off to swap batteries which is annoying. You’d hit the 29:59 limit before running out of batteries but you can also get an AC adapter and just plug it in if you know it’s going to be static for a long time. It’s a great camera for the price for any kind of video when you’re starting out. After you shoot a bunch of music videos, you’ll figure out if you want something different.
Thanks, bro that helps a lot!
Hi Justin. We have the new IDOLCAM VlogStar V2 shotgun/Lavalier microphone in one, small size, perfect for M50, can we send you one to play with?
Great suggestions and shots Justin. Thanks!
Oh you're welcome!
I think m50 is better than sl3 for video . Thanks gor your great advice bro..🙏🙏
Is this a good starter camera for a food channel? I'm currently using my Android Smart phone and have a limited budget. Would this be a good camera to start with for my cooking video's? Thank you for all the great info!!! Thanks for making this video! I've subscribed hoping to learn more. I'm very new to You-Tube and not even sure what catagory I fall into LOL🤣😂🤣 I make step-by-step tutorial food video's is that vlogging? I have researched and tried many times to do a good thumbnail, to no avail. Not even sure I'd need the 4K, however, I really don't know the difference between 1080P (?) and 4K. Just wanting to produce crisper, with more color accuracy, cooking video's. On my phone it makes most things look much darker, even burnt, when in real life they're a lovely golden brown. So wanting a low-budget camera that will improve my channel. Even $1000.00 is an awful lot of money for me to invest when my total monthly income is under $800.00!!! Just want to build a legacy for my FAMILY. Do you think this camera would suit my needs? The salesman suggested the Canon SX740 HS, however, you can't add in an external microphone for better sound and you can't change the lens ever...I'm thinking perhaps the Canon M50 would be a better option for my needs with the ability to accessorize as I go along. Most of my video's will be done on a stationary tripod in an extremely small kitchen. Or perhaps do you have any other suggestions that are a less expensive investment that would continue to suit my needs over the long haul? I'm a retired senior citizen on a very LIMITED income so will only be able to make this investment once. Please any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated!!!
M50 is a GREAT camera for upping the quality of your videos! Highly recommend. Easy to use and looks great.
I wrap the red cable in front of the mount to stop it moving around.
I am really enjoying your videos....am thinking of m50 for streaming and YT vids... is there a recording time limit in 1080p? Thx
29:59 for recording. The unfortunate part for streaming is that it goes to sleep after 30 minutes. My buddy has his not going to sleep with an A/C adapter but I haven’t been able to replicate. Great camera though!
so using a ac adapter can replace the 30min limit?🤔
Super thankful for the vid. I wouldn't have changed those settings if I didn't see that you can here haha
Hey! Great videos! I am trying to dial in my settings on my m50 but I am having issues with the black in my videos having noise or artifacts any tips?
Do you know why my m50 is only showing the 4 “movie rec. size:
4K 25.00
FHD25.00
FHD50.00
HD50.00
And not the 5 more detailed, you showed us in the video?
My camera was in “movie manual” mode BTW.
Yours is set to PAL video (which is UK and other eastern countries) mode instead of NTSC (which is North American). PAL is 25/50fps. NTSC is 24/30/60fps. Google PAL vs NTSC. You might be able to switch it.
Aaah, thanks man! It was pretty easy to fix once I knew that:)
It's funny you mention him because his Canon M50 video send me to yours as recommendation, i don't even have this camera i have Canon 77D.
Haha, I'll take it!
Nice video! You won't hear this complaint alot. But my biggest complaint with the M50 is there is no choice of smaller video sizes (for a given resolution). Compression is not linear in quality vs size. You can recompress the 30Mbps 1080/24 files from the m50 to half or a third of that size (like with handbrake) and it's very hard to tell any difference. For my purposes (and probably some more people). I'd choose 10 or 15 Mbps, not 30. Not having to recompress in post is a big advantage to me. And having such an option in 4k would mean we could use slower SD cards too. And of course get twice the time. Some canon's have a choice, a little bit, of video compression, but not the M50. H.265 would prolly be great too. But simply not having choices in the h.264 is less 'forgivable' IMO, since H.265 is sorta new. (?) I think there needs to be more discussion of video compression in general when discussing cams. We act like it doesn't matter, like media card speeds, capacities, computing, etc are all unlimited. Before I bought my M50 I watched TONS and TONS of videos on YT about the M50 and others. NOBODY discussed video compression choice issues. If it had been brought to may attention, I may not have chosen the M50. It's currently so bad the way this topic is ignored on YT, it's like you're not cool if you care about filesize. It's really just an issue in our attitude. Many of us would actually be very unhappy if we could only shoot in RAW, contrary it also being good to have that choice. But somehow we are ok with having no choice in compression bitrate?
I think storage is too cheap now that no one needs to talk about it at this level. At 64GB card is less than $50 and will hold hours of footage at 1080p. An 8TB hard drive is like $150. It used to take days to render down a video but now it’s minutes. And the larger the file size, typically the more flexibility you have to colour and work with it in post. And it’s a cheap camera for a video camera so they’re just picking a happy medium and going with it. Something like an 80D has more options but more options also make it more confusing and easier for a novice to screw it up.
@@JustinReves Thanks I appreciate what you're saying. We wouldn't want to lose the higher option. But i still disagree. A novice would not screw up by selecting 15 Mbps. That's still really good. You have to go way way down to really screw up bad, like 1mbps or lower. Your argument that storage is cheap etc well it's not really an argument. It's like I said, if they only offered RAW that would be an even bigger problem. Quite a few of us may have no desire to grade etc, at least not the bulk of what we might shoot. I get that's it's a lower priced camera, but I don't agree that means it should come with no compression settings. We have multiple choices for Jpeg stills, which ironically is less helpful than video compression, because that's more likely to be where it will make a big difference in storage size/speed, sharing straight from camera. The SD card I already had when I got the M50 won't record 4k, but it would if I had a choice of smaller compression. I noticed the sony A6400 vs the Canon M6 mkII, those both have some compression settings, though still not quite full coverage of choices, I think one of them is better for 4k in that regard, one better at 1080. Nobody pointed out to me the m50 had none, when I watched countless comparisons of those cameras with the m50. Yes I could have looked it up, but it didn't occur to me. It was the 'one' thing I missed. Ok so I'm cranky, but upon careful consideration I still think this is more than important enough to cover when reporting about cameras.
Great advice! I'm going to use it for vlogging, photography, and work. Even though I've heard some critical voices, I'm quite excited to put up to the test!
If you're looking at the specs compared to something like a Sony, it's easy to be critical. But for the price, it's really hard to beat.
do you recommend the Sigma 24mm 1.4 ? does the 18-35 have noise issues with the auto zoom? I have heard some sigma lenses are loud with the autofocus where a constant sound is going
The 18-35 is fine if you use the genuine Canon adapter. Noisy AF with cheap 3rd party ones. Sigma 24mm 1.4 is beautiful but overkill for this camera. You could get the new Sigma EF-M 16mm f/1.4 and 30mm f/1.4 and those would be sweet!
Video images are great, what were taken in 4k or 1080? I suppose you used sigma 18-35. Thank you
Many thanks for this.
Hey, Justin! What do you use to edit your videos? Also how did you get the signature at the bottom?
I started on Premiere but use Final Cut Pro X these days. RUclips let’s you add a little logo somewhere in the settings but I’m not sure if you need a certain number of subs? I don’t think so but maybe.
Justin Reves You’re the best. Absolutely love the content. Keep it up!
The M50 looks awesome!!!! It looks like you have lots of lenses. I know the 22 mm at F 2 but all the others are native to M50 or you have a ring adapter ? Thanks for this fantastic video !
This was awesome thank you!
Justin, thanks for the video. This one ultimately helped me decide on the M50 a few months back. Annoying issue I'm running into though, the power toggle switch doesn't appear to do anything. Especially turn the camera off when I flip it into the off position. Is this normal on the M50 to have an always or passively on feature?
Shawn Nelson no, that’s weird!
Would you recommend the 18 to 35 lens for a second lens? I have the 22 for the m50
I dont recall what video sold me on the M50, but this one sold me on the lenses.
Stellar work. I love your style. 👍👍
Thanks Joshua!
I've got a Canon 70D and I'd like to buy the Canon M50, but I'd also like to buy the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 lens. I can only afford one. Which one should I get first?
The Sigma 18-35. It will make WAAAAAYYYY more of a difference than the M50.
Any recommendation for a lens for this camera that provides that widescreen blurry background look?
You honestly have to get a manual focus lens because there's just not good options yet for crop-sensor Canons. The Tokina 11-20mm f/2.8 is close, but it doesn't autofocus so well. Can't wait until Sigma makes their 16mm f/1.4 work for Canon.
Such a cool camera, I want it so bad lol
Thank you Justin i couldnt make up my mind between the Canon EOS T7i and the M50. This video has settled me on the M50.
Yeah, it's definitely what I'd pick!
