“Hey, 1. What's the difference between the Canon M50 and the M50 Mark II? 2. I understand the M50 will only record 29.59 minutes. Will the Mark II record unlimited for e.g. hour+ church services, etc. without interruption? 3. Take pics while recording?”

1. The Mark II has better auto focus, vertical recording, and clean hdmi output (doesn't show the settings that you would see on the back screen), along with slightly better battery life. 2. No. Canon has a hard limit of 29.59 for all their cameras (the new R3 is the only camera so far that has the limit removed). If you want to record longer than 29.59 with the m50, you'll have to use an external recorder. 3. Is not possible to take pictures while recording. About the only way to do that is to take the video and pull out a frame of it with video editing software.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The recording limitation in time is not due to a limit of the camera itself but by European Laws. Manufacturers limit the time so their devices are classified as cameras and not as video cameras which fall under a higher tax bracket and therefore would have to carry a higher retail price. In reality nobody needs a recording that long and multiple files are seamlessly created so any video editor can merge the files to create one unique long file.
