Review on White Canon EOS M50 Mirrorless Vlogging Camera Kit - EF-M 15-45mm Lens, 4K Video, Built-in Wi-Fi, NFC & Bluetooth Technology by Nikith Brewster

Sorry to upset you at the party but I don't understand the good reviews on this camera. I have owned a Canon T3i DSLR for over five years. This was my first DSLR and with the 18-135 zoom lens (and other Canon lenses) I took very sharp photos suitable for photo agencies and printers. A few years later I bought a Canon G16 point and shoot camera so I could carry the camera around in my purse. I have accepted several photos from this camera as stock images...which should be perfect in every way. I was so happy with my two Canon cameras that I even bought a Canon large format printer and a Canon photo scanner. I consider myself a serious lover of landscapes and architecture... more of a hobby than a profession. So when it comes time to upgrade my T3i to a new technology what can go wrong if I stick with Canon. Especially since I have a lot of Canon lenses. I really thought I had done my homework carefully. I won't go into all the details, but I've learned a lot about cameras, all the variables and possibilities. I looked at everything from upgrading to the latest T7i to the 80D and a couple of full frame cameras. I read reviews and asked people what they thought. I was intrigued by the idea of a mirrorless camera that could sit somewhere between the T3i (or T7i) and the G16 in terms of comfort and match my skill level. I read all the reviews on Revain and other resources and settled on the mirrorless M50. with an 18-150mm zoom lens (which itself has a 4.3 star rating). The whole package seemed too good to be true. That should have been my first clue. Unfortunately I didn't have enough time to really test the camera and lens in the first 30 days of ownership so I missed the opportunity to return it. I bought the camera in September 2018 and have gained a lot of experience with it since then. I bought an adapter and took a lot of comparison photos with the M50 with EFS lenses, but there wasn't much of a difference. In particular, if there's anything that can take a very sharp photo, it's my primary EF 50mm f/14 lens. But don't go. I got some clear photos with the camera but nothing I want to blow up to say the 13 x 19 inch print my printer is capable of. And of course nothing I could send in stock. I'm not a serious videographer so my t3i (or G16) takes good enough video on the fly with no problems. So I'm not very interested in the M50's video capabilities. Many of the reviews seem to have referred to the video feature. Maybe that's my problem. This is a great camera (and lens) if you want something simple as a point-and-shoot upgrade to just tossing a zoom lens in your bag and posting pictures of your dogs or kids to social media. But about everything else, in my opinion, forget!
