The camera its self its great with plenty of options to customise your photos but the only down sides are it doesn’t come with a SD card and the battery life is pretty poor with my fully charged battery only lasting 3 hours at most this is most likely because of the the small amount of mAh in the battery. Also the 15-45mm lens it came with dosnt have great zoom my phone has better zoom and the lens cap dosnt like to stay on, its very temperamental. The photo quality is great for people on a budget if you can deal with some of the flaws then it’s a great lightweight compact camera.
I needed a basic mirrorless DSLR video camera, and this fit the bill. Once in a cage, mic fitted it preformed perfectly for what I needed with the standard kit lens that came with it. With an adaptor fitted my existing EF lenses fit perfectly. For a starter camera for someone wanting something smaller than a mirrored DSLR this is perfect. I can’t wait for the Mk3 to come out.
This Canon camera is a blast to use, it’s small and super user friendly, which is one of the main reasons why I picked it over the Sony and of course because the price is much lower for this camera. The menus are so easy to use and the moveable touchscreen is great for when you want to take those Selfies. The amount of Options and possibilities you have is endless.
Now I haven’t delved much into the manual shoot mode, which I know is when you truly start to take amazing looking photos but I’m really pleased even with the auto shoot modes, some of the photos I have attached where all shot in Auto modes. You can apply filters and change brightness along with many other options directly from the camera and then can send these images via WiFi or bluetooth to the app on your phone which is such a handy option for those social media centric people out there. (You can also via all the photos on your camera via the app and choose if you want to share them or download them etc.)
The video is nice and crisp giving you different options to record in 4k 25fps, 1080p 60fps or 30fps and 720p 60fps and 30fps too.
All photos can be saved in a variety of formats and if you want can be saved in your preferred format along with RAW at the same time of you wanted to take the photos and edit them in a different software, but note this will obviously take up a lot more SD card storage as RAW files are hefty in size compared to JPEG and PNG.
If you don’t want to lug about a large SDLR camera then I’d recommend this great piece of kit. I Look forward to bringing this camera with me on my trip to Amsterdam in the next few days.
My ramble is over, for a first camera I think it’s fantastic. If you’re like me you won’t be disappointed. It’ll last you many years to come.
The camera and its touch screen user interface are very beginner friendly and easy to use, and its settings can quickly be changed on the fly. For the price point of the camera the picture quality is great, both for photography and video.
There are a few downsides of the camera;
Firstly the audio is not the best quality (although it is by no means bad either). During my first recoding sessions, the camera was picking up all kinds of background noises I was unaware of, and would often playback with an irritating background hum, fortunately the camera comes with a microphone port, and after fitting an external mic the audio has been perfect.
Secondly, and one of the biggest complaints people have with the camera is that there is quite a significant and very noticeable cropping of the field of view when recording in 4k video, however as I am mainly recording small items up close that has not been an issue for me and has even worked in my favour. However for the average user I could see why it would be perceived as such a big drawback.
The EOS M series of cameras has been a big seller for Canon, with the EOS M50 (both the original and now the Mark II) being a key part of this, based on the value for money these cameras represent, the small range of additional EF-M lenses Canon has produced specifically for these cameras being similarly modestly priced. (Canon’s EF and EF-S lenses can be used with an adapter.)
The EOS M series of cameras are small, light cameras which offer a lot in a compact package. They have been very popular for vlogging. I use mine as a travel camera: the camera body and a full range of lenses fit into a small shoulder bag (which Lowepro no longer seems to make) and the image quality is perfectly satisfactory (it’s the lens which creates the image and, if you want to, using an adapter, you can attach lenses from Canon’s EF range, with no loss of lens features).
Despite the popularity of the EOS M series of cameras, it seems things are now at a crossroads for this range of cameras, for in the past few weeks (in May 2022), Canon has announced two new, more capable cameras in the incompatible EOS R series (the EOS R7 and EOS R10) which, it is widely thought, signal the end for the EOS M line. EF-M lenses (designed for Canon’s EOS M series cameras) cannot be used on Canon’s EOS R series cameras and, likewise, RF lenses (designed for Canon’s EOS R series cameras) cannot be used on Canon’s EOS M series cameras. The RF lens mount (used by all Canon EOS R series cameras) is more modern than the EF-M lens mount of the EOS M series (offering faster communication and additional communication lines between lens and camera body) and it looks like this is where Canon’s future development lies, not with EF-M and the EOS M series cameras. EOS R series cameras also offer an upgrade path from the smaller APS-C sized sensor of the EOS M series to the Full Frame sensor size of all EOS R series cameras prior to the announcement of the R7 and R10 (both with APS-C sized sensors).
This means that anyone thinking of buying a Canon EOS M50 (or any other Canon M series camera) should be clear about why they are doing so; if it is their first M series camera, they will probably be well-advised to look instead to one of the new R series (the Canon EOS R10 is a closer match to the EOS M50 Mark II than is the more up-market R7), for they will be buying into a camera system with a definite future ahead of it, with one of the most modern lens mounts on the market (matched only by Nikon’s equally modern Z mount). People who already own M series equipment (my own case) may wish to safeguard their existing investment, knowing these cameras will continue to serve them well for years to come, and there will be bargains to be found as people divest themselves of EOS M series equipment in favour of EOS R.
UPDATE (February 2023)
In February 2023, Canon announced a new camera, the EOS R50. (Yes, “R”, not “M”.) There can be no doubt now: the EOS M line of cameras has come to an end, and the EOS R50 is intended as the successor to the EOS M50 Mark II. (In effect, the EOS R50 is the EOS M50 Mark III [ or even Mark IV, as it is a big step up in capability from the M50 Mark II]), but with a different mount for attaching lenses (the new RF mount instead of the approximately 10-year old EF-M mount of the M series). Most people who have been thinking of buying the EOS M50 Mark II (those who have no specific reason to continue with what is now an obsolete camera line) should stop and look instead at the EOS R50, or moving progressively further up-market, to the EOS R10 and EOS R7.
Haven’t really had an issue with this camera, works great. The kit lens is surprisingly good, great starter camera 🙂
I purchased this camera from Currys. Is a great upgrade from my old Legria camera that’s for sure. I bought this for mainly video work and I’m still learning gradually each time I film to try to get the best out of it. A lot of the Manual settings are pretty good so you can starting filming and experimenting straight away. One thing I would say, the Battery life is pretty poor. If you’re using the Touch screen a lot, it’s going to struggle to make an hour and a half. If you’re out and about, take a spare canon battery. (An official one of course there are a lot of cheap unofficial ones about that could harm your camera).
I am a Eos M user for many years this is faster than the old model for sure.
But become more costy at the same time
This all in one pack has been put together to give you everything you should need to start a vlogging/YouTube aka content creator career all in the knowledge that everything in the box should just work together. What you get in the box is pretty impressive, most of it is Canon own brand with a few items being supplied by 3rd parties.
What you get:
Stereo Microphone
Canon Tripod Grip
HDMI Converter
HDMI Cable
Power Adapter
Battery + Charger
Canon EOS M50 Mark II
Kit Lens
What you don’t get:
SD Card
Lighting
Case
At the heart of the package is the Canon EOS M50 Mark II, a small compact mirrorless camera that has simply blown me away when I’ve used it. This thing reminds me of those small cameras you took on holiday before DSLR cameras got so popular AND big. The M50 comes with a kit lens that will fulfil most of your needs and then some however wannabe photographers might want to get something a bit more fancy in addition to the kit lens.
In use the camera is fast, it has an articulating touch screen and simple menu system that’s idea for beginners and more advanced users alike. The focusing is almost instant and that is what makes this a great camera for vloggers/YouTubers.
I used it on an overhead rig because it’s so light, no more trying to dangle my expensive DSLR in the hope it wouldn’t fall off, and it performed superbly – the lens was super silent.
This isn’t a cheap pack especially for starting out and yes you could buy the items individually but you’ll only save a few pounds – at least with this all-in-one pack you know that everything in the box will work just fine which for me equals a lot less hassle.
Overall I highly rate and recommend this kit especially if you’re wanting to do content creation!
At the time of writing, you’re paying 340 for the additional kit, comprising:
Stereo microphone DM-E100 (109) with wind sock. This will help remove the noise of focusing and vibration, wind noise (especially outdoors) and improves directionality and sound quality.
Canon Tripod Grip HG-100TBR (99.48) – a really neat “selfie” tripod with a remote control. Sturdy (for the mirrorless camera and typical lenses)
HDMI Converter Atomos Connect ATOMCON001 (49.40) – captures 4K video and audio (HDMI) and outputs HD 1080 to a USB port (USB-3) as if a web-cam plus microphone. Works well enough.
As you’ll be vlogging for hours, you won’t want to be changing batteries mid-flow, so the kit contains the Compact Power Adapter CA-PS700 (50 approx) and Camera DC Coupler DR-E12 (30 approx) and an HDMI cable (10 approx).
I make the cost of the additional parts, at time of writing, about 347, so the saving is a mere 7. However, it does remove the worry of putting it together yourself.
The MKII version of the camera has only one significant new feature – it can record video in vertical mode, as required by TikTok, Instagram etc.
The camera is intended for beginners but nevertheless is excellent. As a seasoned SLR -> DSLR -> mirrorless photographer, the missing feature is exposure compensation. Fortunately, this is only a couple of key or screen presses away, and is intuitive enough. It is a feature I use often though – if the exposure is being thrown by difficult lighting, I like to be able to give a little more or less light easily (regardless of shooting/exposure mode).
The camera is not completely quiet – there’s no flipping mirror, but there’s still the shutter sound. Hidden in one of the scenes mode is a completely silent mode, but that’s it. With my Sony Alpha 7C I can shoot rapidly, even in a church music event setting, where you really don’t want to add noise.
Other than that, it’s an excellent camera, easy to hold and compact (just like those 35mm film cameras of the 70s from Olympus, Pentax etc) – it feels superb and easy to hold (even with my large hands).
A highly recommended kit, very pleased with it.
This Canon EOS M50 Mark II is extremely good for gamers and content creators with all the great features provided.
You can enjoy a next-level performance with this camera which shoots videos up to 4K resolution and photos at up to 10fps. It is super easy to shoot exactly how you want with a super-versatile Vari-Angle screen or high-quality electronic view finder.
It provides sharp images with the smooth, cinematic Dual Pixel CMOS AF with eye and face tracking.
Furthermore, it can be simply connected so you can stream directly to YouTube over Wi-Fi or by using the HDMI to USB converter. The DC coupler and small power adapter that is included also enables you to stream for longer periods of time.
Also included is the Canon Tripod Grip HG-100TBR which has a head that rotates or tilts and is small, stable, versatile, and additionally comes with a wireless remote control. A high-quality Stereo Microphone DM-E100 also comes with this set and is lightweight and plugs directly into the camera and does not require batteries as the power comes directly from the 3.5mm audio jack.
Overall, this is a great quality Canon streaming kit that provides amazing photos and videos. I am overly impressed and would highly recommend.
Quality is excellent. Ease of use is superb. Uploading wirelessly is a breeze.
I invested in a second hand lens to cover a wider range and will probably add to the kit over time.
I honestly have so much fun with this camera and for the first time ever don’t end up with rubbish shots.
I haven’t tried live streaming yet so can’t comment on the ease of that. I better get practising.
If you want an entry level does it all well camera then I highly recommend this.
