Canon - EOS M50 Mirrorless Camera with EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM Zoom Lens - Black

I've had my camera since Nov 2020. Last Fall I sent it to be repaired with the manufacturer (even if you don't get the best buy care you can still send it to get fixed) - Canon because my camera had stopped working due to an accident. It was repaired and returned to me for free, when I got it back I noticed it was slower to pick up movement on the screen and it felt weird. However it's been able to continue to record and take beautiful photos. Just so you know it's super sensitive to water - ex: being in the moist for 30 mins in the morning. Although I did take it to Guatemala while it was raining - but I wouldn't push your look because the insurance doesn't cover it. You can definitely wait for it to dry though and tell them to take a look at it if it doesn't work. There's so many features I'm still learning, the top black part fell off easily and my sibling lost my lens cap. I tried buying other ones and they don't fit. It could adjust better/quicker with zoom in features, it isn't super smooth for that but it might just be after the repair or me lol. Works great to put on a tripod, and reads SD cards super quickly. I wanted to buy another one but saw they no longer sell them new at Best buy :/ - It picks up pretty decent sound, I've just bought an external mic for it and looking to buy a wireless mic for when I want to record events.

Even though this camera only lets you film in 30 minute increments, it’s still a good quality starting camera. I use it for my YouTube channel and the video quality is unmatched. I really love how it allows me to film in low light and brings light to the film anyway. I also like the autofocus. It’s very nice for starting out. If you want to see the video quality, my channel is Shantè D.

Yes, buy it. I watched you tube and compared many different brands but ended up making the decision on the Canon M50. It is easy to hold, powerful, quick, and less pricey than the competition. You can use all of the Canon lenses but the EFM lenses are made specifically for this camera. You will need an adapter for the Cannon EF and EFS lenses to work. This camera is fast, easy to use, and can almost fit in your pocket. I have had it for a month now. I do NOT regret making this purchase. I am not a professional but I am also not an amateur. This can be used anywhere on that spectrum. P.S. - Buy a great lens. I recommend the Canon EFM 32mm 1.4.

-Overcoming the mirrorless/DSLR switchup fear- Quality and classic expectations from Canon! Shot film for a couple years prior to jumping into DSLR.... I have been a hardcore DSLR fan since 2008.... Fast forward to Dec 2019....I have been eyeballing mirrorless for sometime but afraid to put down my DSLR....for fear of new things pretty much..lol... Finally pulled the trigger on the M50 at my local best buy, and never looking back! The DSLR setups are officially tucked in a case in the basement, and I am stuck on the M50. -Little tech info review.... The kit lens is perfect for small area vlogging setups,I am running the RODE micro and love the side flip oug screen feature Canon offers when running a hotshoe mic, and vlogging...Other Mirrorless cameras have a flip up screen which usually gets in the way of a hotshoe mic. I do wish the scroll control up near the main shutter button scrolled in the direction you scrolled... my setup is inverse for some reason... just an annoying thing I catch myself every time I use the camera not remembering... maybe I am just crazy... but annoying as can be... Back to a positive topic of this camera....This camera is easily the lightest device in my daily pack... I know that sounds crazy... kit lens and all this thing is sooooo light! Hope you get this camera and begin to document your life like no one else can!

After you make the effort to learn the possibilities this camera has hidden, it becomes an excellent picture taker. You must keep the user manual close at first (maybe longer than that) to learn the fuctions that will help YOU the most for your type of photography. Once you learn, the camera is Great! Very light! Small but big enough! No mirror shake when you take a photo - wow! The camera fucus is perfect! Tough to get use to the viewfinder window but it does work great! New photographer will miss a lot of great magic shots for a while. Medium photographer will really like this camera!

Good beginner camera, bought just to take nice photos when going out

The summary just about says it all. The only knock I could give it would be the low light performance. Higher ISOs can get a bit noisy. This said, the overall image clarity and quality all other times for the money are fantastic. For the money it’s definitely “bang for your buck”. I’ll put some sample images of photos taken with said camera!

As a photographer who was looking for something small and light for daily wear with the family I stopped and looked at this. Months of research led to this purchase. Fantastic little camera, and I love that I can stick it in a diaper bag to take on the go with my littles. HOWEVER, there is one thing that I don’t like. Proceed to a shoot that I thought I might let this one have it’s legs stretched. Put a flash on the hotshoe....AND IT GOT STUCK. Canon wanted $200 to remove the two. Thankfully I got an old lock picking kit and got them separated. Nowhere in months of research did I read about this problem. Just be aware about putting a flash on. Even if it’s canon brand. All around in love with this camera minus the crappy hotshoe.
