The best thing Ive ever used, a great item for everyone!

Excellent purchase! Number 1 Aspiring Vlogger Photographer by DPreview in 2022! The best price among competitors! Easy! After Canon 5D MarkIII (900g per BODY) a feather of 350 g. You can immediately transfer photos and videos to the network! Some pros: As a camera, it is the ideal device for taking excellent quality photos in automatic and custom modes. New encoding format RAW = CRAW (CR3). Very interesting creative modes: Night shooting - automatic stitching of 3 shots. Get a great shotā€¦

The quality is top notch and I recommend the product for purchase.

I'm just a completely newbie in photography, although I owned and used devices a little before. The M50 turned out to be an ideal option for me to replace an outdated DSLR, which most of the time was gathering dust on a shelf. I'm not too lazy to take the M50 with me even on the most uncomplicated trips :) A small assortment of lenses with an EF-M mount is only a plus for me personally: you don't need to bother with studying the differences. Plans to take the Sigma. I know that you can put anā€¦

Pros
  • Compact, clear, takes decent pictures
Cons
  • The battery runs out a little faster than you would intuitively expect from it. Well, traditionally darkish whale lens

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good one.

For me, this is the first digital camera of its kind. Before buying, I chose and compared it with my "classmates" for a long time, but as a result I settled on the M50. The whale lens is very soapy at open apertures. I put Helios 44-2 for the experiment - the result exceeded all expectations. Manual focus is easy to catch (the camera highlights objects in the depth of field). This camera is suitable for beginner photographers and video makers/vloggers. The main thing is to change the kit lensā€¦

Pros
  • + Strong autofocus + Good color reproduction in a natural profile (I also recommend setting Adobe RGB in the settings) + Compact and lightweight + Flip-down display + 50/60 fps 1080 and 100/120 fps 720
Cons
  • - Soap whale 15-45 (it is better to cover the aperture by 1-2 from the minimum value) - No matrix stabilization (it doesnā€™t really affect the photo, and itā€™s very problematic to shoot video with your hands even with such a low weight) - Almost all settings are hidden in the menu. There are few buttons / wheels on the case, which somewhat complicates manual settings - Double cropped 4K (in addition to the regular crop, 4K is cropped again by 1.6)

The quality is top notch and I recommend the product for purchase.

It was taken to replace the classic M. The ates finally became significant, and the price was not sky-high for an M-crop. The work with video (FHD) has especially noticeably improved - including the built-in electronic stub (especially if the lens is without a stub). The viewfinder also pleased - it does not differ much in speed from the classic SLR. Added 4K video is a toy (matrix part only, low fps, does not work with Dual Pixel autofocus system). The software in the camera is configured 1ā€¦

Pros
  • Dual pixel autofocus. Photo quality + burst speed increase. Full-HD video shooting at 50fps (+ there is electronic video stabilization if the optics are without a stub). The viewfinder is decent (100% coverage, albeit electronic) - indispensable in bad weather or in bright sunshine. Adjust the focus point on the screen even when the viewfinder is on. Focus Peaking mark when focusing manually. Interval video filming of long processes - sunset for example. The 3" screen rotates as you like (you can generally close it inward so as not to damage it). WiFi / BT - for the rapid transmission of several frames or control (proprietary software for Win and Android worked fine right away). Outer shoe for flash, etc. (+ built-in on the edge case), external microphone jack (at least something will save in windy shooting). Intuitive interface and menu with a lot of settings (hints can be disabled) with button reprogramming.
Cons
  • The font became smaller on the info screens (compared with the first M). A complete new M15-45 lens with a specific lock (replaced with the classic M18-55, and it is lighter). The battery remained old - small in capacity (on the other hand - they are suitable for some previous cameras). The camera does not charge via USB - this is apparently left for the future. Not all programs understand the new Canon RAW format CR3 yet (but the option with cRAW CR3 compression is good).

Everything is fine, there are only minor drawbacks.

At the moment, for that kind of money, something more functional and with acceptable shooting quality has not yet been found . probably)). in general, I like the device. as long as I keep using it. I will ate my review as I research. Its pros: Compact, relatively inexpensive, multifunctional. better suited for video shooting. for all sorts of vlogs, the weight is small, which makes it easier to hold it when shooting. convenient screen, in general, management is quite convenient. there is aā€¦

Best product I have ever reviewed, I recommend it to everyone!

I've never actually written a review before, but this thing won me over! Having decent experience in amateur photography and videography, about 15 years. I photographed both on a soap dish and on a 450D DSLR. So, after the mirror, the M50 is simply magical, itā€™s especially wonderful that without time it works wonderfully in the mode I took it out and took a picture. I compared it when buying with the Sony A6000 and as a result, with test targets on Canon, the colors are sharper and brighterā€¦

Pros
  • -Photo and video quality -A bunch of different photo and video shooting modes, you can change absolutely everything - Auto mode works great -The touchscreen turned out to be a very convenient thing, especially in combination with tracking autofocus -Autofocus is just a magical thing -Price -Very comfortable, everything in its place. - Very well made, nice plastic -Lightweight and compact, especially compared to the 450D
Cons
  • -Battery charge, but in principle for 2 days of moderate shooting is enough -While it is a little inconvenient to use the zoom during video shooting, the ring is jerky at low speeds. But it's a matter of habit

Exactly as promised by the manufacturer, high quality.

In general, I am satisfied with the device, a good compact version, in the absence of glass on it, it easily fits into a large pocket or a small bag. Easy to carry, takes up a lot of space. Good set of adjustments and features, overpriced. Pros below: Lightweight, compact, very fast continuous shooting, good shot quality with a kit lens, compact lens with a good 15-45 range. Some cons: Low-capacity battery, inconvenient to insert a memory card, uncomfortable hand grip, did not like theā€¦

The best product, from those that I have viewed, I advise everyone!

I own this device complete with lenses: EF-M 18-55mm EF-M 18-150mm EF-M 28mm macro EF-M 22mm EF-M 32mm All are good in their own way. The last one is especially interesting - 32mm f/1.4, it's just gorgeous for portraits. Plus the whole camera as a whole and the native set of optics - dimensions and weight. Someone hooks heavy "mirror" optics through an adapter - I personally donā€™t see the point in this.

Pros
  • + Photo quality and FullHD video shooting +Dual pixel autofocus +Canon color rendition + Intuitive interface and settings menu (unlike most other manufacturers)
Cons
  • - Plastic body. In terms of reliability - no complaints, but "premium" does not cause sensations. - Not enough physical controls - just one full-fledged wheel - Canon's dodgy marketers did this on purpose to separate the "premium" (EOS M5, M6) from the "entry level" cameras - although at the moment the M50 is the flagship in terms of capabilities. - Cost of original accessories. I ordered lens hoods and backup batteries from China, the quality is no worse than the originals, but two to four times cheaper.

The product is unreliable, it is not worth buying.

during the shooting, the ISO spontaneously changed despite the fact that the minimum was manually selected and, as a result, the photos were irreversibly damaged. what can you talk about after this? Filmed in aperture priority. optics is a separate quiet horror . Pros: functional conditionally worthy in terms of technical stuffing. but that's where the goodness ends. Its cons: First of all, the interface is just awful. secondly, the buttons are inconveniently located despite the parody ofā€¦

A terrible purchase, I sympathize with everyone who bought it.

I wanted to change the camera to 550d. Lacked autofocus. I was looking for a camera for photo shoots and shooting videos on YouTube. I bought a canon m50 for more than 60 thousand. The first thing that disappointed me was taking a photo on a whale. It's just a nightmare. The 550d photo is better. The photo of 2022 is called. Whatever the photo, they complain to you about bags under the eyes, wrinkles, etc. When I looked at reviews on YouTube with more expensive lenses, I did not see aā€¦

Pros
  • Small - fits in your pocket Good autofocus
Cons
  • ā€¢The battery flies in 20 minutes of video ā€¢ install optics only through an adapter - canon ef-m is very expensive and dark. ā€¢ whale lens - (15-45) sucks ā€¢ no stub ā€¢ relatively expensive

Good and quality product, but there are flaws.

I must say right away that I shot with a premium 32mm 1.4 Canon lens and a kit 15-45. I hope my comment will be decisive for the majority, because, reading the comments and reviews, I did not find answers to my questions. I read all the reviews and talked to the owner of this camera before buying. To be honest, I'm surprised! Everyone writes about the wonderful quality of the video, because this camera is positioned for videos! And I was surprised by the positive reviews! I succumbed andā€¦

Pros
  • Convenience and price, optical stub on a whale
Cons
  • In comments

Best thing I have ever used, highly recommended!

If I'm not mistaken, at the moment this is the most budget camera with the ability to shoot 4K and time-lapses. So far, the impressions are extremely positive, with the exception of a few points that I wrote in the minuses. I haven't used it much yet, but compared to my previous camera, this one has stepped forward significantly. Yes, and the prices for Canon mirrorless cameras are now lower than those of competitors, you yourself understand why. In general, so far I have not found any fatalā€¦

Pros
  • 1. Excellent photo and video quality. 2. Compact dimensions. 3. Rotary touch display. 4. A lot of settings for an amateur camera, even in excess. 5. Convenient arrangement of controls, you get used to it very quickly. 6. Excellent sound quality with built-in microphones. 7. The presence of a 3.5 mm jack for an external microphone. 8. The presence of a not bad viewfinder. 9. Decent lens included. 10. Remarkable fast autofocus. 11. The presence of both a built-in flash and a hot shoe in the device. 12. Practically does not heat up when shooting a video.
Cons
  • 1. Low battery capacity. 2. It is not possible to charge the battery inside the device via a USB cable. 3. Subjectively, the connector for an external microphone is not well located, it covers part of the display. 4. Long battery cover. You will not be able to remove the memory card or battery if the camera is on a tripod. 5. You can only shoot 4K video statically, otherwise the jelly effect is just crazy. 6. Plastic, rough and rather easily soiled case.

I can't believe I paid for it, the quality is disgusting.

The company has found a segment of the product being sold. In fact, this device is nothing more than a set of parts. The camera produces an image that is not very distinguishable from some smartphones. What you can shoot with this camera is not clear. It is far from the quality of the FF image, the dimensions of the camera are not pocket-sized, it is a dubious pleasure to carry with you, since some smartphones take pictures of identical quality. Rather, the engineers here pursued marketingā€¦

Pros
  • Not
Cons
  • Useless set of parts

I'm amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

At first I considered DSLRs, but then I consulted with friends and decided that for home family photos and outdoor vacations, lighter weight and a spare battery are more important than lamp clicks of a mirror. By the way, the shutter in this model also clicks, at first I thought that it was turned off in the settings and even googled it, but there is a real physical shutter;) To shoot a video, it is better to switch to the appropriate mode, by a separate button from the photo modeā€¦

Pros
  • Lightweight, fast turn on, good auto-mode. Photos for printing are excellent.
Cons
  • When the flash is on, the battery starts signaling about the discharge quite quickly. I immediately bought a second battery, after reading reviews, but it still lies unpacked.

I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

Excellent camera. Lightweight, mobile, image quality is excellent even on auto settings. I took with a whale 15-45, at 15 a good wide angle is obtained. It is a pity that 3,5 apertures is the maximum on this lens. I immediately took the ef-ef m adapter from viltrox to Ali - and now you can make good portraits at 50mm 1.4. I didnā€™t really see the point in taking a speedbooster (just an adapter is much more expensive. Yes, there is 0.71 crop, but I donā€™t shoot at 50mm very often, and I didnā€™tā€¦

Pros
  • Absolutely everything, just a bomb machine! Took for shooting video on YouTube and photos. Performs its functions at 100! Autofocus is excellent, stabilization is on top! The charge holds for a long time. Discharge only happened once when I shot in 4K. It is convenient that you can transfer the photo directly to your phone, process it quickly and upload / send it there. Mobility at its best!
Cons
  • It often interferes with the fact that the image switches from the display to the viewfinder from the close location of the subject to the viewfinder sensor. Shooting in 4K doesn't make much sense. I tried it once - a strong crop, poor autofocus, quickly lands the battery (I planted it in an hour of shooting, I couldnā€™t discharge it anymore)

I like the product, the quality didn't let me down.

I am actively learning to take pictures, including shooting at parkruns (organized Saturday park races). I rented this camera for one of them in order to make some relation to mirrorless cameras. The impressions are generally very positive, but itā€™s immediately clear that the camera is of a ā€œbeginnerā€ level (in fact, it is a mirrorless analogue of the 800D), and I have outgrown this level in 2 months, and it makes no sense for me to buy one anymore - itā€™s better to wait for the release of theā€¦

Pros
  • 1. Valid matrix. If you believe the DD measurements found on the network, then at ISO 100 you get more than 13 stops. Even at ISO 1250, you can get a frame of excellent quality (of course, here already under the condition of an almost perfectly correct exposure and a slight increase in the degree of noise reduction during post-processing in Canon DPP). 2. Good kit lens EF-M 15-45. It's a bit dark (f/6.3 at telephoto), but I personally didn't have any complaints about sharpness. And with it, the camera is at least reasonably compact (fits in the section of my backpack where I usually carry a flash). 3. Good ergonomics (like a small DSLR like my 1300D). It sits perfectly in my bony hand (although the camera is already too small for my rather large colleague). This also includes the ability to customize the interface so that it looks like a DSLR. 4. Integrated EVI (electronic viewfinder), bright and clear. 5. Folding screen - it just came to me, but for vloggers or selfie lovers, this is a very important feature. 6. High-speed continuous shooting - up to 10 frames per second (when bullying, ISO slows down, just like autofocus speed). 7. Able to set shutter speed in direct proportion to the focal length of the lens (at least when Auto ISO is on in Av and P modes). 8. You can reconfigure most of the buttons. 9. The presence of in-camera lens distortion correction (everything, not just vignetting) and in-camera RAW processing. 10. The presence of the Focus Peaking mode with manual focusing (this is the color illumination of sharp edges).
Cons
  • 1. Only one wheel (in addition to the mode selector) - the one called the main one. The M5 has 4 of them. 2. Small buffer - I have even seen the number 7 in the lower right corner of the viewfinder when shooting in RAW (at ISO, but >= 2022). In reality, in such a situation, the camera slowed down the shooting only after about 10 frames, but this is still, well, just very little. 3. Unlike the M5 mentioned above, there is no electronically controlled flash up - just take your fingers on the ledges and raise it yourself. 4. This problem does not apply to the camera, but to the system as a whole: a poor choice of EF-M optics and loss of compactness when using EF / EF-S glasses through an adapter. Although if all native optics are comparable in quality to whale 15-45, then I would take a closer look at the 18-150 travel zoom and 22 width. 5. Disgustingly designed instructions - made by analogy with the instructions for soap dishes, and not for SLRs. The cost of the fact that Canon focuses the camera on those who have been shooting all their lives on automatic soap dishes and will be treated the same way with this camera (shooting exclusively in AUTO modes and, for the most advanced, SCN).

My photo shiz after the Soviet film history walked steeply up the digital ladder to the Canon EOS-1D Mark II with an insanely expensive park of L-series optics. Then, realizing that there was no happiness there, he went down to the crop with a light park of glasses. And all the time I yearned for the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ30. At that time they were called pseudo-mirrors. Essentially the same as the M-50. With him, I had a lot of successfully caught shots in society. Swivel screen, excellentā€¦

Pros
  • Small, light. After customization and some getting used to it is comfortable. I like the video very much. Good matrix. I have been using canon for a long time. Get used to this color profile. Any Ken glasses fit and work great through an adapter. Manual glasses have received a new breath due to the color indication of the focus area. I liked it very much. I easily focus the manuals on the desired point of the model with my hands! On the video, I can smoothly move the focus around the picture. This is great! With my eyesight, this is fantastic) The glasses are in my pocket.
Cons
  • Yes, there are disadvantages. But I drilled a new hole in the tripod shoe, the camera moved and now the lid opens completely. I have 5 batteries. In general, the shortcomings are not annoying. For the money they are not significant.

What you need, a cool purchase, I advise you.

About lenses: there is little information about native lenses, reviews and technical specifications are not impressive, their future, like the entire EOS M line, is doubtful, therefore, from my family, I personally used only the 15-45 whale lens. If you shoot video with this lens for a home archive or a conversational blog in fhd, then you will only complain about its aperture, autofocus and stabilization work perfectly. It is possible to use canon ef mount lenses using adapters or speedā€¦

Pros
  • does not overheat, excellent autofocus in fhd, good colors, swivel touch screen, microphone input, autonomy, the ability to power through a dummy.
Cons
  • Devilish long-gop, rolling shutter at 4k, no working autofocus at 4k, additional 1.6 crop at 4k, unconvincing native lenses with a dubious future

Best price for this product, will buy more!

I chose for a very long time and did not regret my choice even once - compact, with a gorgeous picture, fast autofocus and a good whale lens. So, as I was looking for specific tasks, Iā€™ll tell you more about the pluses that are important for me: - Connector for an external microphone - Normal swivel touch screen - A large number of settings in the video shooting mode - Correct auto programs for video (when you need to shoot something quickly, it's easier to choose auto mode and then work aā€¦

Pros
  • Very, very good camera for vlogging. I took it exclusively for video 1080 25fps, but in the end, it completely replaced the Canon 700d for me. Insanely pleased with the focus speed, color reproduction and battery.
Cons
  • The biggest, I would even say monstrous, drawback is NOT a MIRROR. It's smaller, in my hand like a toy, a tiny lens with a stupid lock. Also sad is the lack of charging via USB. But this is all subjective, because there are much more advantages. A few words about the stub - for me this is a drawback, but for many it will be a plus: it works well, even very well, but when you shoot on the move with a gimbal and forget to turn off the built-in stub, very often you get jelly at the output))

I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

I haven't taken pictures on a digital camera for a long time, so there's nothing to compare with, but I really like it.
