One of the questions that I get asked a lot is whether the Canon M50 is good for video or not, especially whether that 4K is usable. In this video I share my experiences after using this camera for several months for vlogging, travel and even some corporate work.

I've been using the M50 for several months now and share some of my experiences with using it in different scenarios. What are your thoughts on video on the M50? Do you use it? What do you like/dislike? Let me know below (:
thanks for sharing the idea and greatness in canon m50 . your video give more inspiration to me. watch my video shoot using canon m50.
th-cam.com/video/9-_RkfMupJo/w-d-xo.html
I love my m50 been using it since nov. 2019 only thing is ur low light shots have came out way nicer than mine I only use the stock lens tho would getting a better lens help in low light?
Which is best for videography sl3 or m50 ?
The M50 is a glorified toy for budget minded bedroom warriors. Too limited w regard to 4k. You pay for what you get. Invest a bit more and upgrade.
Wasn’t the flicker due to shooting in NTFS 24fps, change the video setting to PAL 25fps, that will eliminate the flicker as the lights across Europe are 50 htz.
Auto focus in 4k is poor... you can see it hunting for almost 10 seconds beginning @ 1:39 of the video. This camera is great when filming at FHD, just not very well at 4k.
Lol its contrast based af.
The glass you mount on these cameras makes a huge difference to the results attainable, as can be seen here. 24/60 fps will always produce flicker under mains powered lighting in uk because of our 50hz mains frequency by the way. Shutter speed has no bearing on it.
Actually I'm looking at the 4K like: "that's alright you know..." 😁
It's not too bad tbh, but that autofocus is really annoying - If someone is keeping an eye on it with Manual focus and not moving it around too quickly (rolling shutter) than you have something useable (ish) haha.
Can i get one of cheapest camera from my idol
“One of the main reason you’d get an m50 is the 4k”
I have one and I never intended on using the 4k
Give it a go Petey boy! You might be surprised!
😳😵
I agree the 4k is one of the cameras least enticing feature given its huge limitations
i use canon m 50 in my videos and still figuring out how to tackle with flickering in night or low light.
The struggle is real!
Get fast prime lens
If u are in europe, use PAL so its 25 or 50 frames per second, so the light wont flicker
Let me ask you, would you say this is a good match for cooking videos? I am planning on using a slider on top and a dolly for some scenes.
Thanks for the question Jorginho, I’d say that this camera is pretty much versatile for most situations, like most cameras a lot will depend on the lens that you end up using, although I reckon that with decent light the 15-45mm kit lens will probably handle this well. (:
Great content dude! Just some constructive feedback. Your footage are too overexposed. Might wanna look into toning it down a notch.
Yep - new videos are getting there 😅
Really good video! Love how you mixed up the shots so much and showed some great footage from the M50. I ordered an M50 but then cancelled to buy a Sony A6300, think I was swayed towards Sony as I already have a Sony A7II and lots of Sony Lenses. Was a very tough decision choosing between them and then there was also the Panasonic G7 which looked good.
Thanks kai, video on the m50 is what I am interested in, can it really be use it for corporate work?
Well have a look at some of my examples. It's not great :-/ but in the right situations you can make it work. For Broll as a B/C CAM it's ok I guess. But I wouldn't recommending on it solely for important client projects.
I’m at a crossroads... I love the M50 but the Sony 6100 looks awesome as well. Thoughts?
I can't really comment on the Sony 6100 as I haven't had an opportunity to use it. I've added it to my list to have a look at it!
i didn't know about those dummy battery cables!!!! - i'm assuming they are not official ? have you used them for a while, do they work good ?
Nah they are not official - but I’ve used one recently all day at an event to test it out it worked fine ... didn’t have any issues at all ...
Can you please tell me i should get it for my TH-cam Makeup videos or not?
Got this camera. Recommend some cheap but good lenses with adapter or direct anyyy
When i first heard your voice i thought it was linus tech tips
Great reviews coming from a professional videographer Kuya Kai 👌😊
Thanks Con 🙏 😊
Kai Creative why Kuya Kai?
Great video
Thanks for the visit
Hey man! Nice vid! Just got myself a 16-35mm 2.8 l with the same setup, however, autofocus noise is really terrible:-( do you experience the same issues with your lens?
There is a little bit of a rattle - but I never really use the on board sound - always have an external mic, or a lapel on.
Yes these L lens are for photography first. They have loud AF. Get a lens with STM autofocus. Its a stepper motor and its silent.
hi. I have a big question i want to get into photography and video. i dont know what to choose im divided between the canon m50 and the canon sl3. do you want isnt worth it to get a dslr?
Yes sir - good question - I’ve made a comparison video of these two cameras here already -
Canon M50 VS Canon SL3 (250D) Which one should you get? | 2020 | KaiCreative
th-cam.com/video/GLk_hv0_3AA/w-d-xo.html
Brother very important point you have picked up, but I have a question ! I have an option to buy either efm 18-150mm or ef 24-105mm 4L 1 for my M50 camera, please advise if efm lens can deliver crisp image quality as ef lens with speed booster. What do you suggest? Thanks
Have you ever had any issues with the mic jack. I just bought the m50 and I've used it like 3 or 4 times and the audio was fine at 1st but now its cracking and popping alot.
I’ve never personally experienced any issues with my mic jack tbh. I have had issues recently with sound on my 5D mark IV - until I realised that it wasn’t the camera but the extension cable that I was using to connect to my mic - my advice would be try a different mic first to eliminate that as an issue - also try blowing out the jack to clear any dust that might be in there causing connection issues. Otherwise it might be time for a visit to the Canon repair shop 👌
@@KaiCreative thanks so much for the advice. I actually tried a different mic and cord but ill try and clear out the jack. Thanks so much and for the helpful videos
Thanks for your support 💪
Hey. Is this the mark II one?
Can use with 50 M lens?
If it’s the EF mount you will need an adapter or speed booster.
5:02 the kid is singing with the music? just me?
I actually think the same thing! 😁
Looks like she’s mouthing the words ...😃
Do u have any issues balancing the m50 on the ronin s with just the stock lens only?
I haven't had any issues at all mounting the M50 to the Ronin with the kit lens. One of the reasons I love the M50 so much is it's a perfect companion for the RoninS! (:
I'd love it if u were able to make a tutorial on how to balance the m50 on the ronin s. I've researched it and I've found others with the similar issue. And I still have issues with it today with trying to use the stock lens
Thanks for all the tips!
The "crop factor" is a nonsense. The only thing that matters is FOV ( field of view ) . This emphasis on crop factor is absolutely pointless.
What matters is whether you can frame the shot and get the depth of field and exposure that you want with the lens that you have on the camera.
errmmm.... ok 😂🙉
About to pull the trigger on one...
Im beginner. I really need this review cause im stuck with 250d and m50. I have to say that Bro now you are one of my favourite TH-camr. Im going to buy m50. ❤❤
But what you suggest for me 250d or m50 my target is videography??
I have the same question and I'm between those 2 cameras too , only thing is put me off from m50 is that you need adapter for many lenses?!
Kindly add dummy battery link in description...
Done ✅
I have the m50 and can't figure out how to change the video file format. Any tips?
The Canary Wharf lights festival is a nice place to shoot.
Yeah really amazing! You need to go! 👌
@@KaiCreative I always go, but it wasn't as good this year as last year, but your video made it look better than it was :D
@@KaiCreative Yeah I went this year, went on the last day. Didn't get to see everything, but got some nice shots of the event.
Peace and love to you all but I’m no camera guy. Got the m50 for filming fitness classes with COVID, and now I have no idea how to use it aha
Check out a channel called Crowley Crew, he has a whole M50 tutorial playlist that taught me everything i know (and sometimes forget :-) )
Is there a way to get a softer look on the skin? My videos show every tiny blemish and it looks awful.
Pro mist filter?
Hello Kai Song. I have been wondering how to make 'smooth' slow motion clip. All I know, as the Internet says, is to slow 60fps to 24fps, which is the number 0.4 or 40% (depending on the software used). I use Magix Vegas Pro and did exactly that. I thought Vegas Pro is shitty so I tried Cyberlink PowerDirector, the result is still the same. In PowerDirector, there is a setting to enable extrapolation, and I did it, same result.
What I understood is there is no special effect (Optical Flow, and whatnot) required/added if shot in 60fps or higher fps, merely slow it down by punching in the number. Sadly, I do not experience the same. I cannot afford to go for power-hungry effects such as Optical Flow because I am not using a powerful computer. Even simple slow motion effect setting takes a loooooooooong time to render even if it is a few seconds clip. I do not even edit nor colour-correct my clips; I make the M50 do all that I need for me in-camera by heavily tweaking its Picture Style and white balance on the spot. This is only so much that I can do, however. Magic Lantern is not stable for M50, may need to wait for a very long time for a properly made one as it is not a paid thing.
Shoot in 60fps and drop it into a 24p timeline. Set clip attributes to play at 24p. Done. No special effects or processing. Your software may be different tho. You literally just shoot in a higher fps than you play the clip back at. No “rendering” required
@@baqcasanke I did exactly what you mentioned, as I already said in my comment/question. Maybe unclear. Let me rephrase: A clip shot at 60fps is dragged into a 24fps timeline, the said clip attribute (property in my case) is set to play at 0.4 which directly translate to play at 24fps. After all this the clip still appears slightly choppy, not fluid.
You may or may not say "move slowly". I have already moved very slowly. If I moved any slower then I probably do not even need to shoot at 60fps! LMAO!
As for 'rendering', it is needed when saving to a new file. There is no such thing as 'no rendering' in both the software I use. If it is 'save' then they save in their native project files. Vegas will save it as veg extention. PowerDirector saves it as pds extention. Therefore, a clip must be rendered regardless of any changes whether effect is added or no effect is added.
Great content...subscribed
Good job! Thanks from Russia
Hi Kai, I find your videos very useful, thank you. I’m just an amateur videographer and currently use the entry model in the M series, i.e. EOS M for personal projects but I’m seriously thinking of upgrading to the M50 by the end of the year, unless another camera pops up which will beat the M50 in many ways and still cost the same, which I doubt really! Anyway, my question is about the Viltrox speed booster which I’m also very interested in. Forgive my ignorance but do yo need to use only full frame lenses with speed boosters or cropped sensor lenses work as well. Many thanks.
You'll need full frame EF lenses to use with the speedbooster.
@@HellbellyUK Many thanks indeed
How do you deal with constant focusing noise from the lens?
Get a better lens lol
Well done for looking and sounding like most other camera videos. Even you speech patterns are industry standard.. Liked and subscribed.
You notice thet the res is 360p ?
Haha - give TH-cam time... It should be up in 1080 and 4K soon (ish...) :-)
@@KaiCreative i had that issue. I record in 4k but youtub upload it in 360p. I dont know why
@@JarosawKovacs Oh dear? Did it change it to 4K eventually?
@@KaiCreative no
@@JarosawKovacs Yikes! Ok so just researched it - it is a known issue :( But just noticed the 1080 pop up on this one (:
W.O.W.
M50 is trash...even worse than m43
I wouldn’t call m50 trash... I still use and love my m50 ... but I picked up old Gh4 , paired with 14mm prime and it looks sweet ! Lol Panasonic ahead of its time with Gh4 (2014) 👍
@@PVMMAC Even on TH-cam, one can tell M50 has terrible video codec. Not to mention there's almost no big aperture prime (except 32 14, Sigma is third party )in the M system. We all know it's just a temp phrase using the viltrox. The imbalance between the camera and lenses will force people to use other cameras eventually.
trash because of the M lenses? Well EF lenses work perfectly with the speedbooster so I have no idea how that is being "trash". If one eventually does upgrade (as most do go full frame), M50 can still be easily your C cam or your BTS cam.
