It's fair to say Canon missed the start gun for mirrorless cameras, with Fujifilm, Panasonic and Olympus already well down the track and pulling away.
If you've been bitten by the photography bug and want to move up from your smartphone or basic compact camera, then the Canon EOS M50 is a great camera for your upgrade.
The EOS M50 might not be a flagship model in Canon's range of cameras, but this mirrorless model still offers superior performance for a mid-range camera at an affordable price. This makes it ideal for anyone wanting to get more serious about photography, but who doesn’t want to spend a bundle doing it.
The M50 is the first Canon camera featuring Sony's DIGIC 8 image processor. This makes the camera capable of shooting 4K movie footage, up to 24 fps. The M50 can also shoot 4K time-lapse footage, and you can pull stills from your footage, with files equivalent to 8MP.
There are all sorts of connectivity options in the M50 including Wi-Fi, NFC and Bluetooth Low Energy. Bluetooth Low Energy is particularly useful as it gives you a constant connection at low power, so you can maintain a link between the camera and the smart device you want to send your images to.
The new C-RAW option creates full-resolution raw files while saving about 30% to 40% on the size of standard raw files.
Video is a big part of any photography we do these days, and the M50 makes it nice and easy to capture great sound to go with that footage thanks to the inclusion of an external microphone socket

Even though it's described as an Entry-level mirrorless camera, it puts many higher priced alternatives to shame. Nice and easy to use, yet offers me plenty of control. The only minor complaints are that a rear dial would be a little more useful to me, and the limited maximum aperture of the zooms.
Durable; Great Picture Quality; Lightweight; Simple Controls
Inadequate Features
Brilliant Small Camera with most EOS SLR features and programs. I t can be hard to see the LCD screen sometimes, but after purchasing the EVF-DC2 Electronic Viewfinder Accessory, I am now really happy using this camera in very sunny conditions.
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
Canon EOS M50 review: This mirrorless camera is really compact, and yet can pass off as a point-and-shoot device.
Currently contacting Canon to check authenticity. The charger has a Chinese company plastered across it which seems odd so I am waiting for Canon to get back to me on that. The Camera itself has passed the serial check and feels great, I have no reason to doubt the camera or lense, im hoping Canon...
Excellent camera. Was recommended to me by a friend because of the touchscreen that I could operate left handed. I have disabilities from a ruptured brain aneurysm that requires I be able to work most things left hand now. Just had it for about a month, but getting great shots with both lenses.
For me personally the camera has been amazing. I am not a photograper at all and yet I have been able to get a couple of pretty good images that I am happy with. It is light and compact and for a backpacker, I could not ask for more. With the 55-200 mm lense it is still under 2lbs.
Having owned Canon products for a long time, and working in the field with heavy DSLR gear, it was time to make a switch to something a bit lighter and up-to-date spec wise. I've watched the Mirrorless category grow, and was torn between leaving my dear Canon behind in favor of the competition, but...
I've owned several 16mp cameras but I wanted a higher pixel count for greater detail in my images. I considered the Canon RP, but the dioptre adjustment range on the EVF isn't as wide as with the R for some reason so what else was there with a fully articulated screen with a dioptre adjustment range...
