Priced around Rs 62,000 with the basic lens, the Canon EOS M50 is a great option for those who want the versatility of the DSLR with the portability of a compact camera. In fact, this is one camera that has got me thinking if I should upgrade.
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.

The EOS M50, which was announced on 26 February, just before the CP+ show, is the seventh model in a line which began back in late July 2012. Like the majority of its precursors, the latest model is targeted at snapshooters, with particular focus upon travellers who want a wide range of Auto...
Canon has been pushing its mirrorless EOS M series for some time, but the M50 finally looks like it's hit the s...
Fast Dual Pixel CMOS AF; Built-in electronic viewfinder; Excellent vari-angle touchscreen
Unexpected 4K limitations; Manual lens retracting mechanism; Simplified exterior controls
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.
A lack of native lenses aside, the EOS M50 is Canon’s best stab at a mirrorless camera so far. Image quality is a match for Canon’s DSLRs, which means you can get some very nice pictures indeed. Yes, 4K video is available for the first time on a consumer Canon, but this is not a camera to buy if you’re a videographer – a vlogger perhaps, but not someone who’s looking to produce short films. It’s great to see Canon finally taking mirrorless cams seriously – let’s just hope the range of accessories and lenses starts to play catch-up soon.
Small and light; Good viewfinder; Looks like a mini DSLR;
Dials and controls might be too limited for some; Limited battery life; Small selection of native lenses right now;

At first glance, the Canon EOS M50 could pass for a smaller, less expensive version of the company's EOS M5. Despite the surface similarities, the real changes are inside. The M50 is the first Canon camera to use the Digic 8 processor and the only non-pro model to support 4K video capture.
People on the go who want something compact; with good connectivity and an accessible interface
Anyone interested in 4K video capture; Those without easy access to a power outlet and don't want to carry a pocket full of batteries
