It was an unusual day that started with a moderately heavy spring snow storm. I didn't have much time to go out and photograph the storm, but the M50 was handy with the Canon EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM Lens already mounted.

In many ways the Canon EOS M50 is a better-specced camera than the EOS M5, with faster burst shooting, an improved AF system, and 4K video capture (more on that in a moment). The vari-angle screen also offers that bit more in the way of flexibility over the EOS M5's tilt-angle mechanism.
Improved Dual Pixel CMOS AF; Polished touchscreen; Excellent EVF; Easy to use; Very good image quality
Poor battery life; 4K video has a 1.6x crop; Plasticky finish; Lens range still limited
The Canon EOS M50 is a mid-range mirrorless camera with a 24 Megapixel APSC sensor, Dual Pixel CMOS autofocus, built-in OLED viewfinder, Wifi and Bluetooth, and becomes Canon's first mirrorless with 4k video, a fully-articulated touch-screen, eye detection and silent shooting options.
The Canon EOS M50 is Canon's latest mirrorless camera with built-in electronic viewfinder (EVF), and features a 24mp APS-C CMOS sensor, 10fps continuous shooting, 4K video recording, and face-detection focus. The Canon EOS M50 is available for £539 body only.
Compact and easy to use; Wi-Fi; NFC and Bluetooth built-in; High-resolution electronic viewfinder; Great image quality; Face and eye detection focus; 4K video recording; Rapid focus and shutter response; Good value for money
4K video doesn't use dual-pixel focus; 235 shot battery life (can be extended to 370 with ECO mode; Limited Canon EOS-M lens range; 4K video crops heavily into frame
The Canon EOS M50 may be the newest entry level camera in the M lineup for Canon, but it's already the most advanced. With features like 24.1MP APS-C CMOS image sensor, this little camera can record 4K (1.6x cropped) video, Dual Pixel CMOS autofocus with a whopping 96 focus points, and 720p HD video...
Canon’s new £650 mirrorless model could make a big impact on the mirrorless market, says Andy Westlake
