Canon may have been late to the mirrorless party, but over the last couple of years, it has taken a significant share in this ever-important market. The EOS M50 is an entry-level model that falls between the (£400) EOS M6 and the (£600) EOS M5 , offering beginners a small and affordable camera with...

Easy to use; Fast in operation; Strong set of features

Relatively poor battery life; Kit lens is susceptible to flare

The EOS M50 is Canon's latest mirrorless camera, extending its M-series range from three to four. While it has a similar silhouette to the flagship EOS M5 , the M50 sits further down the range, slotting in between the entry-level EOS M100 and the more mid-range EOS M6 , and is designed to appeal to...

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 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

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

The EOS M50 is a new entry-level compact system camera from Canon. The EOS M50 has a 24.1 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, the very latest DIGIC 8 processor, 4K video recording, a touch-screen interface, 99-point AF System, ISO 100-25600, a 3-inch 1,040K-dot LCD vari-angle monitor, integrated Wi-Fi,...

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

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.

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.

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.
