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

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.
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.
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
Canon took the opportunity to make quite a few changes when it configured the EOS M50 mirrorless. It uses a new Dual Pixel CMOS sensor with an autofocus system that covers more of the scene, can record 4K video, supports eye-detection autofocus and debuts with a new app that can automatically transfer photos from the camera to a device.
The updated many-point autofocus system, 4K video support and more will be welcomed by Canon mirrorless fans.
