It's about time that Canon added 4K to a consumer camera-it's currently only available in the pro-grade EOS 5D Mark IV and EOS-1D X Mark II SLRs and in its cinema cameras. But what's in the EOS M50 was not the right way to do it.

Compact; 24MP APS-C image sensor; 10fps burst; 7.4fps with tracking; Wide focus coverage area; Vari-angle touch LCD; Mic input; EVF; Wi-Fi

4K video is cropped with slower autofocus; Native lens options still limited; Limited shots when shooting Raw bursts

Consumers are demanding mirrorless cameras because generally they're as good and as versatile as DSLRs, but are smaller and lighter. While that's one of the draws of the 24.1-MP Canon EOS M50, it's not the only one.

Very good photo quality; even in low light; Excellent electronic viewfinder; Easy-to-use swiveling touch screen; Lots of shooting modes; Includes hot-shoe for external flashes

Expensive; Relatively smaller lens selection; Video footage had some jitter; Less battery life than competition

I'm not a camera pro. I needed to start shooting content for my business and did some research - took a shot on this one. Great decision. The amazing auto focus is a key feature for filming yourself because it follows you after you set it up to keep you in focus as you're moving around.

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 M50 has to be one of Canon's best mirrorless camera options yet; but at the moment of writing this review, it still feels like Canon is intentionally holding themselves back for reasons that I genuinely don't understand.

Canon's mirrorless lineup has been around for a couple of years now, but the company has taken its own sweet time in bringing the series up to speed with the latest features. Meanwhile, others like Sony and Fujifilm have embraced the mirrorless segment with open arms, delivering some truly...

Light and compact body; Fully articulating display; Above-average image quality in daylight; Dual Pixel autofocus works well

Weak battery life; Slow autofocus at 4K; Average high-ISO performance

Sometimes you don't want the sound of a camera interrupting the perfect moment, whether it's the bride saying "I do" or your newborn baby sleeping. Silent Mode helps you make sure your camera doesn't startle your subject by enabling capture with virtually no shutter sound.

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...

The EOS M50 is only the second EOS M model to have an electronic viewfinder; it's the first to shoot 4K video; and it's being sold at a pretty competitive price. This could be the EOS M camera where Canon has finally got the balance right.

While the M50 is a solid little camera for the price, Canon has effectively set the bar for future DSLR and mirrorless camera offerings. Going forward, Canon can no longer justify the release of a DSLR or mirrorless camera without 4K video capture.
