@@TechGearTalk Yep, same here. Maybe just one question.. Do you think this is still the best comparison of the two best beginner lvl cameras today? Or do we already have a better option on the market in 2022? Thanks :)
@@TechGearTalk I was leaning towards the SL3 to begin with, but after you showed it's clean hdmi output option for streaming, as well as live audio readout while recording, it was the way to go. Otherwise, it was pretty close.
As a beginner filmmaker with a very tight budget I'm not sure which of these to pick. I was considering the Sony E10 but it's off my budget so I'm leaning towards the SL3. Thoughts?
Bought the SL3 (250D) after documenting myself (this video played a major role). As a first DSLR camera, it feels great, long battery and very nice pictures!
Best video I've ever seen on cameras (from a beginners stand point) The fact that you took the time to explain "Mirrorless" vs "DSLR" is a testament to your level of detail. Good job
I've been reading a lot of negative feedback about SL3... Majority of the users said that its better to buy a M50 or SL2... I just think that SL3 is awesome but I dunno... Anyway, this is the best video comparison I have watched so far. You are very helpful!!!!
@@tomjens2046 it's all about the fact that it's just not worse than sl3 but costs almost $200 less than sl3.... that's it.... If you don't really need 4K then you don't need sl3.

This is by far the best review I’ve seen! Thank you so much for making it so simple! I wanted to chose between the two and now I know what one to go for! Great work mate! 👍🏻
From my personal opinion, I see that the SL3 and M50 are the same camera , except one is a DSLR and other one is mirrorless I will buy SL3 because battery life is very important for me , Thank you for interacting with my comment💐, stay safe, and have a nice day
Dude this is really helpful I am planning to get the sl3 next black friday So wish me luck that I get good offers P.s watching you from the middle east❤
I've narrowed it down to these two cameras, and I still can't decide. Thanks for doing this video, though. It's given me the most clear look at both cameras side by side. Now I've got some thinking to do.
Really appreciate the clear, precise, and easy to follow information you provided! I haven't found such an unbiased, well-informed review on the SL3 (especially in comparison to the M50) except from this video. You helped a lot! Your expertise and easy to follow reviews easily gained a subscriber in me!
I bought the M50 Mark 2 and I like the ability to use different lenses with the Viltrox speed adaptor. I am not a fan of the battery life but your tutorial about how to increase it helped. I generally don't like to use the view finder so I shoot using the screen for the most part. I will start taking photography classes soon and am excited about learning how to unlock the best ways to use it.
Very nice review. You just helped me decide which one to replace my t3. I’m going with the SL3. Mainly because I have big hands, and it’ll do every shot I’ll ever need. Next step is full frame for night sky photography. Thanks for doing what ya do. 👍
I bought a g7x because of one of your other videos, and now I am going to buy the SL3 because of this video. I will now have an g7x, m50, and a SL3 for my video toolbox. Many thanks to you for all your help in teaching me more about these cameras.
How do you only have 55k? Love these videos you make dude! Insightful and really helpful when making decisions on kit. Hope you gain more of a following soon, you really do deserve it!

Hey so I’m looking to get into making documentaries i started watching many of your videos they are very helpful! What would your recommendation be for a documentary look!?
Great video, helped explain lots of little things I was looking for that people or websites just gloss over. There were a few issues I still wanted to figure out, that no one talks about much. I will be using the camera for shooting baking videos and some cooking videos, my tribulations with the cameras 1) If a camera is (or not) weather sealed, how likely is it to get damaged over time if exposed to fine flour and other particles floating around in the kitchen? 2) This is more for the kit lens, during cooking/baking steam is an issue, how likely is that to ruin a camera if exposed for few seconds until I realise that the lens/camera is getting steam on it? 3) I want to make time lapse videos during baking, the ambient temperature around the ovens do get hot, definitely crosses 40 degrees celcius on summer days here, how well does m50 or SL3 stand up to heat exposure? The oven door is closed, not putting the camera inside, just shooting from outside to look inside the oven. 4) What kind of failures, repairs, problems should new users expect due to user faults? Let's say we don't put the lens on correctly a few times, how much will that chafe the grooves? We knock the camera against a surface while moving things around? 5) If I am shooting a video in the kitchen of a baking process, how fast is the video being transferred wirelessly to the pc? Or would a wired option be faster for data transfer? What kind of gear would be useful for a wired transfer of data? Are there off market solutions to the above kind of problems? Once again great videos, helps me understand quite a bit and ask right questions and understand answers when I started with zero knowledge.
Tech Gear Talk Wow. That’s a tough question. I am looking for a camera for youtube video. Though I like the look of 24fps, I think I have to go with the SL3 for the eye autofocus and clean hdmi and 422 output. Battery life is not too important for me because I am going to use the ac adapter (dummy battery) anyway. Sometimes, I have to take photos of me and my artists (I am a small record label owner) in the quiet dark music studios here. It seems like both have the same low light performance so either will work the same I guess? (Un)fortuantely, I don’t shoot Music Video myself by the way. If I do, I will have to get the M50 just for 24fps.
I think that's a very good process you went through there. I agree that for your needs, the SL3 is the best option. Using the AC adapter with the clean hdmi/422 and recording externally will be very powerful for you. As far as low-light: just make sure to add light, it's the best solution for all cameras :) Appreciate you participating in the community!
I bought the M50 in summer 2019 to use alongside my Drone, i checked out as many reviews as i could at the time and they pretty much all stated that the M50 was a good camera for vlogging. I used it initially for vlogging but lately i've been taking more time to get into the photo side of it, so i'm checking out the various settings for the different situations i'll be in when taking photo's. I'm new to the photography side of the camera, so i'm checking out the various tutorials. Thanks for your info on the two camera's, i think i made a decent choice considering where i am at the moment.
Hi George, I'm super glad the video was helpful. You can take very good images with the M50. Check out some samples with these lenses: th-cam.com/video/uORT1dfeS0M/w-d-xo.html
This video was extremely informative and helpful. I own 3 olympuses and a Fuji, but the size and weight of the lenses are somewhat an impediment when sticking a 300 mm into somewhat's face. I was looking for a cam that fits in a jacket pocket pocket. The M 50 is the exquisite choice for discrete street shooting. Fantastic video to help me find the right choice. In America and in Canada, carrying a Pen F or a XPro3 with pro prime lense is no issue, but in Venezuela or Manila I would not make it out of the airport with that kind of gear. The M 50 may be considered a beginners cam, but for certain situations it is just the best choice.
This review is exactly what I was looking for! I was thinking about buying one of those two and I'll probably choose SL3. I'm looking for a camera mainly for photos, not videos so I hope it's a good choice. Thank you so much!
What an utterly perfect video! This is the first M50 250d comparison video I've watched and I've been able to make a decision. I usually have to watch 3 or 4 different videos. Great stuff!
thanks for the video i like the options on the sl3 but i like how the m50 is smaller and more compact makes it hard to choose. random question are mirrorless becoming more popular and if so would it be better to get the m50 for the future ?
This video is so incredibly helpful. Thank you so much! I'm still a BIT torn between the 2 (however, I now have so much more information thanks to you!) I will be using it primarily for photography--boudoir and nature landscapes, to be exact. I understand the SL3 has some more flexibility in terms of lenses but I love the compact size of the M50! What would you recommend? Thanks so much in advance. Subscribed!
Sagi! This was a great video, as I love the side by side comparison. I've watched so many of your videos to attempt to buy my first camera. I'm ultimately going with the SL3 as I'm a live streamer! Thank you for the great tips, and I'll be grabbing this stuff using your links!
Hi Matt, I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos. If you're a live streamer, you made the right choice for sure - zero doubt. Thanks so much for the support!! Appreciate having you as part of the channel 🙏👊
Usually if a review or comparison video is more than 10 or 15 minutes, I lose patience and move on. Not only did your video keep my attention, you were very concise with excellent pacing. I went ahead and liked and subscribed. Finally, do you think the SL3 is still a good purchase or is there something else a beginner photographer should get? I’m leaving in May to go to Switzerland to ride the Glacier Express through the Swiss Alps, so I will need to take landscape pictures from a slow moving train. Thanks!
Thanks so much for the feedback Daniel! I think the SL3 is still a good option if you want an entry-level dslr. If you want a mirrorless camera that super powerful and better than the M50, check out this: th-cam.com/video/Nir8pfvfdFI/w-d-xo.html let me know if you have any questions (fyi mirrorless is nice when you're learning, because you see the exposure in the viewfinder).
I’m deciding between these 2, it’ll be my first camera. I want one that’s good in both photography and video. I’m guessing the M50 is the right choice because I do plan on making a TH-cam channel and the auto focus would probably be very handy.
Hi. The autofocus for video is very good for both - so that wouldn't be a reason to pick the M50 over the SL3. However, the aufo focus through the viewfinder is better on the M50 and there are more AF points to pick from plus face tracking. If you plan on doing any streaming, the SL3 is a great option!
@@reedandesmas6292 Yep. I have the SL3. I find it great for video and the Face-detect is awesome. I don't care to use it with the eyepiece because my T7i has much better focus through the eyepiece though. I just recently bought an RP too and that one is even better for video and the EVF is a game-changer. Plus all the Full-frame advantages. Same Battery as the T7i & SL3 is a bonus. I recommend the SL3 if you're shooting videos or you like to use Live-View for pictures. It forces you to use the touchscreen to access more features so it can be quite a bit harder than a T7i to use with gloves on if that's a concern for you.
I'll add that it's also my primary webcam now too. I use the EOS utility to pair it to my computer and put on the 24mm f2.8 lens. Some temperature-controlled Neweer lights on an umbrella stand pointed at the wall behind my computer to soften it aad I can shoot at 1/60 f2.8 ISO 800 and look great for my Zoom meetings when I'm not recording music.
Hi Gabrielle - I would probably get the M50 before of the improved autofocus for photography using the EVF. If you plan on using the LCD to frame and set focus, then you can go with the SL3. From an image quality standpoint, they use the same sensor.
Amazing video, Thankyou, I find myself in this very predicament, choosing from these two cameras. I am a beginner and intend on doing a multitude of photography and filming including landscape photography, sports photography and filming and also food photography. I have recently held both of these cameras and my personal preference was the the SL3 felt better in the hand. It seems both cameras are very good and both will help me on my beginners journey, so my question is with these cameras being very similar and listening to your advice is the way it feels in the hand enough or should I consider more things. Thankyou Lee
You nailed it! I feel the same way - I reach for the SL3 instead of the M50 because it's more comfortable. The biggest advantages of the M50 are that you can see the exposure in the viewfinder and there is the possibility for a speedbooster with EF lenses. If those two don't make you say "I need an m50" then definitely go with the SL3 because you are more likely to use a camera that feel comfortable. Hope that helps.
What a great review, congrats! I have just a question: which one would be the best choice for photographing landscapes? I mostly take pictures of the sky, parks, beaches, during the day.
Love the work you do! Very informative, I decided to go with the m50 after watching this and I'm definitely not disappointed. Keep that amazing content coming!!!
Hello sir, I am currently planning to buy the SL2. Should I wait till this SL3 hits the market here in middle east to expect a price reduction on the SL2. Currently SL2 is being sold at a retail price of 590 USD with an 18-55 mm kit lense.
If you're going to buy the SL2 for sure, I would wait a little and you will get a better deal. I'm already seeing that happen in different places. In the US the price difference isn't that big. Is there a release date where you live?
Wow! Very detailed review. I'm new to photography and am enrolling in a class. Which would you recommend Asa first camera? I don't plan to do live streaming or video but one never knows. Thank you for taking the time to guide me.
Really good comparison and very helpful in my search for my first camera. My only complaint is that I didn’t really see any low-light photos taken with the M50. Not sure what I should invest in since lens types, mirrorless/DSLR are all factors. The SL3 seems like the way to go here but the Sony mirrorless stuff also has my attention. Subscribed for more
Thanks for the feedback Jordan. I’ll add some M50 low light shots for a future video. The Sony a6400 is another good option if you want to look at Sony. I really liked the a7iii but it’s in another price point th-cam.com/video/X0wp0GRgFsk/w-d-xo.html what will you use your camera for?
Tech Gear Talk Great, thanks! :) I will mostly be using for basic photography (nature, landscape, lifestyle) and I would also like to begin posting music and music gear related videos to TH-cam again, but properly now that it’s 2019;) An articulating screen would be great but not a must-have. I guess my only hang up with the Sony stuff is the price because I need some other gear and software but at the same time, I don’t want to get something that’s only marginally better than my iPhone. Also, the lack of 24fps HD on the SL3 is kind of a bummer. Thanks for the feedback!
Looks like your comment got cut off. Yes, sony gear is $$$ I just got an a6400 and will do a livestream this weekend if you're interested in watching/asking questions. Looks pretty good from my research so far.
@@jordandedomusic if you want a camera for photography SL3 does not accept third-party flashes, which is surprisingly unacceptable. Besides it doesn't has 24 fps in 1920. Again, terrible surprise. What did do Canon with this camera? M50 does not has these problems. About the lenses... Canon has cheaper lenses than Sony. And with an adapter on M50 you can access to the whole world Canon lenses.
Both will do a similar job (as long as you don't need 1080p/24 (which the SL3 can't do). The M50 is smaller which is nice for traveling but I would suggest that you go to a store and hold both to see which is more comfortable to use.
Ive ordered the SL3 (well, the EOS 250d here in Spain) another note worth saying, I ordered a silver body, with leather looking (not sure if it is leather) grip! there are 3 colors, black, white, and silver. (not sure if the M50 has those options too. I also wanted to say that I made the choice thanks to this video, I prefer the option of more variety of lenses! so thank you for this video!! I appreciate it! I also got my old EOS 700d working again, and hot even got it to work as a webcam with just the USB cable! I have one more question, what type of USB connection is on the 250d? is it the same as the 700d? or has it changed? Thank you for all of your videos, truly appreciate content creators who help people making their choices!
Hey man, great video! I'm looking to get something for my band to use for cover videos. We do like the slightly more cinematic feel but at the same time, we'd also like to use it for vlogging, which the SL seems better for. What's your opinion on it? Thanks again!
What's up Nic! Both would work really (especially for video). The image quality is essentially identical. SL3 has more lenses without needing an adapter. The SL3 is a little bigger which some people like. I use it more than my M50.
@@SimonChristensen619 I have Sl3 ,, Mirror less is batter then Dlr for Videography,,, But for Videography 👉 SL3 is a good choice cause it's longer Battery🔋
Thank you for making my decision easier. Your reviews and explanation on Mirrorless or DSLR cameras are easy to follow. Because of this review, I'm going to purchase the SL3.
Would you say the 250D still holds up vs the M50 Mk II in 2022? I'd like to upgrade my 100D that I use as a webcam for online teaching/TH-cam videos and the M50 Mk II comes highly recommended. The only thing putting me off is the fact that all my lenses are EF mount and an adapter is just something extra I'd have to buy. The specs for the 250D and M50 Mk II look virtually identical on paper so is there anything I'd be missing out on by getting the 250D instead? Any insight you have would be greatly appreciated.
Awesome video, thank you! The 4k focus issue is a bummer. I'm looking for a camera for mainly 4k video but also for some photographs. Camping, dog, gaming. Would these two still be the best options or are there better affordable options now?
This video makes me stay put from the start to the end as it really informative and straight to the point🥰💞😍😘 looking forward for more content of yours😘
Hey, you answered my comment on the SL2 vs. SL3 video yesterday. Thank you so much. I appreciate the fact that you answer your viewers' comments. You are selling me on the M50. It's cheaper and it seems to fulfill all my needs. I was thinking about the SL2, but I can't find any legitimate sellers online. Overall the M50 looks so gnarly. Thank you so much. You are getting a subscribe!
Hi, I really loved this kind of videos where presenter is not biased, just straight talk, now I'm not exactly in the process of getting either the M50 or the SL3 BUT either the 90D or the SL3. But my question is, with APS-C sensor which lense whould I get for wide angle live streaming? I do just talking head videos and I won't record on the cam itself but using vMix or my computer so I want the depth of fild or blur background effect?. So what's your advice on this, livestreaming and wide angle shot and 1080p resolution !4K. Thanks
I just bought the SL3 yesterday and didn't even know about mirrorless cameras. I like the idea of no moving parts and 10 vs 5 fps shooting but it's too late to cancel my order. This will be my first real camera I hope I got the right one. I plan to do mostly nature photography, astrophotography with my telescope, time lapses, and long exposure stuff.
Hello! I think your video is amazing! I am looking for a good camera to take fashion and makeup pictures for instagram, especially portrait. Which one do you recommend?
Many thanks for a very helpful in-depth review. I am a beginner who is just venturing into the world of DSLR and you have covered a lot of my questions and answered many that I had not thought of! Keep up the good wrk and Happy Easter!
Hi, Dude! I wanted to ask a few questions. My budget is 600€ and currently I'm planning to get a camera. The M50 is really well priced here where I live. It cost 569€ with the EF-M 15-45 mm lens. Should I buy that or wait for the M50 mk2 which isn't even confirmed yet. Also considering this is my first camera. Thanks a lot dude! You're my favorite youtuber.
Thank you for a great channel! Im torn between the the m50 mark ii and the 250d. I think i will use it more for photography. I love macro shots and nature photography. I have a sx60 and 50 for the superzoom lenses. I do however want to step up and do more portraits and action shots. Mirrorless will a new experience for me and would love to know if it will be a big advantage over a dslr like the 250d. Im also guessing that shooting outside in daylight the m50 will do better since you will use the viewfinder more taking advantage of the 1:1 exposure where the 250d will do fine indoors on portrait with the lcd? Does it come down to shooting style? I can look past the battery life and the differences in fps on the video features and lens options. My sx50/60 does sit nice and snug in my hands but i dont have particularly large hands so I might get used to the compact size especially when doing outdoor excursions. I hope my rant makes sense. Will you be able to make a choice on the above comments? Thank you again for all great advice and excellent tutorials. Greetings from Namibia.

I decided to buy 250D. After watching your video. Thank sooo much
5 years later this has helped me a lot, thanks
Great video, helped explain lots of little things I was looking for that people or websites just gloss over. There were a few issues I still wanted to figure out, that no one talks about much. I will be using the camera for shooting baking videos and some cooking videos, my tribulations with the cameras
1) If a camera is (or not) weather sealed, how likely is it to get damaged over time if exposed to fine flour and other particles floating around in the kitchen?
2) This is more for the kit lens, during cooking/baking steam is an issue, how likely is that to ruin a camera if exposed for few seconds until I realise that the lens/camera is getting steam on it?
3) I want to make time lapse videos during baking, the ambient temperature around the ovens do get hot, definitely crosses 40 degrees celcius on summer days here, how well does m50 or SL3 stand up to heat exposure? The oven door is closed, not putting the camera inside, just shooting from outside to look inside the oven.
4) What kind of failures, repairs, problems should new users expect due to user faults? Let's say we don't put the lens on correctly a few times, how much will that chafe the grooves? We knock the camera against a surface while moving things around?
5) If I am shooting a video in the kitchen of a baking process, how fast is the video being transferred wirelessly to the pc? Or would a wired option be faster for data transfer? What kind of gear would be useful for a wired transfer of data?
Are there off market solutions to the above kind of problems? Once again great videos, helps me understand quite a bit and ask right questions and understand answers when I started with zero knowledge.
Thank you so much for the comparison. This is the most organized and precise comparison video.👍
You are very welcome, glad you liked it. Which camera did you like better?
Tech Gear Talk Wow. That’s a tough question. I am looking for a camera for youtube video. Though I like the look of 24fps, I think I have to go with the SL3 for the eye autofocus and clean hdmi and 422 output. Battery life is not too important for me because I am going to use the ac adapter (dummy battery) anyway. Sometimes, I have to take photos of me and my artists (I am a small record label owner) in the quiet dark music studios here. It seems like both have the same low light performance so either will work the same I guess?
(Un)fortuantely, I don’t shoot Music Video myself by the way. If I do, I will have to get the M50 just for 24fps.
I think that's a very good process you went through there. I agree that for your needs, the SL3 is the best option. Using the AC adapter with the clean hdmi/422 and recording externally will be very powerful for you.
As far as low-light: just make sure to add light, it's the best solution for all cameras :)
Appreciate you participating in the community!
Thank you for the comparison again. 👍
You're very welcome, appreciate your feedback and joining the community!
Very helpful! Thank you
That's great to hear Annabelle. Which one did you like better?
Your channel is one of the the best things i've come to find on TH-cam thus far
It was quite helpful about which one I should choose as a new user. Thank you so much!
Half it was helpful. The m50 is better for photography because of the eye detection and the evf autofocus. Welcome to the channel!
I bought the M50 in summer 2019 to use alongside my Drone, i checked out as many reviews as i could at the time and they pretty much all stated that the M50 was a good camera for vlogging.
I used it initially for vlogging but lately i've been taking more time to get into the photo side of it, so i'm checking out the various settings for the different situations i'll be in when taking photo's.
I'm new to the photography side of the camera, so i'm checking out the various tutorials.
Thanks for your info on the two camera's, i think i made a decent choice considering where i am at the moment.
Hi George, I'm super glad the video was helpful. You can take very good images with the M50. Check out some samples with these lenses: th-cam.com/video/uORT1dfeS0M/w-d-xo.html
This video was extremely informative and helpful. I own 3 olympuses and a Fuji, but the size and weight of the lenses are somewhat an impediment when sticking a 300 mm into somewhat's face. I was looking for a cam that fits in a jacket pocket pocket. The M 50 is the exquisite choice for discrete street shooting. Fantastic video to help me find the right choice. In America and in Canada, carrying a Pen F or a XPro3 with pro prime lense is no issue, but in Venezuela or Manila I would not make it out of the airport with that kind of gear. The M 50 may be considered a beginners cam, but for certain situations it is just the best choice.
This review is exactly what I was looking for! I was thinking about buying one of those two and I'll probably choose SL3. I'm looking for a camera mainly for photos, not videos so I hope it's a good choice. Thank you so much!
As long as you don't need 1080p at 24fps , the SL3 is a great choice. Glad the review helped!
Very nice video. How are your feelings of the SL3 vs nikon d5600?
What an utterly perfect video! This is the first M50 250d comparison video I've watched and I've been able to make a decision. I usually have to watch 3 or 4 different videos. Great stuff!
Which one did you go for?
Thank you so much for this video! I love how you explain some technical lingo that beginners or people who aren't that tech-savvy can understand.
I’m so glad it was helpful and thank you for the kind words! Appreciate you being part of the channel!
thanks for the video i like the options on the sl3 but i like how the m50 is smaller and more compact makes it hard to choose. random question are mirrorless becoming more popular and if so would it be better to get the m50 for the future ?
This video is so incredibly helpful. Thank you so much!
I'm still a BIT torn between the 2 (however, I now have so much more information thanks to you!)
I will be using it primarily for photography--boudoir and nature landscapes, to be exact. I understand the SL3 has some more flexibility in terms of lenses but I love the compact size of the M50! What would you recommend?
Thanks so much in advance. Subscribed!
Excellent video. In your opinion, which one takes the best pictures?
Hi. Extremely informative video. Thank you. Can I ask which one is better for low light images and video?
yes! i would love that comparison using the adapter on m50.
Appreciate you taking the time to watch and letting me know.
Yes! Me too!
Another vote!
me too!
They keep coming in
Excellent comparison video. I was going towards the M50 now I'm leaning towards the SL3. 👍🏾
Glad it was helpful Charles!
Sagi! This was a great video, as I love the side by side comparison. I've watched so many of your videos to attempt to buy my first camera. I'm ultimately going with the SL3 as I'm a live streamer! Thank you for the great tips, and I'll be grabbing this stuff using your links!
Hi Matt, I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos. If you're a live streamer, you made the right choice for sure - zero doubt. Thanks so much for the support!! Appreciate having you as part of the channel 🙏👊
Usually if a review or comparison video is more than 10 or 15 minutes, I lose patience and move on. Not only did your video keep my attention, you were very concise with excellent pacing. I went ahead and liked and subscribed. Finally, do you think the SL3 is still a good purchase or is there something else a beginner photographer should get? I’m leaving in May to go to Switzerland to ride the Glacier Express through the Swiss Alps, so I will need to take landscape pictures from a slow moving train. Thanks!
Thanks so much for the feedback Daniel! I think the SL3 is still a good option if you want an entry-level dslr. If you want a mirrorless camera that super powerful and better than the M50, check out this: th-cam.com/video/Nir8pfvfdFI/w-d-xo.html let me know if you have any questions (fyi mirrorless is nice when you're learning, because you see the exposure in the viewfinder).
Loved the video, I'm planning to but Sl3 with my main focus being Photography. Do you think it's a good choice?
I’m deciding between these 2, it’ll be my first camera. I want one that’s good in both photography and video. I’m guessing the M50 is the right choice because I do plan on making a TH-cam channel and the auto focus would probably be very handy.
Hi. The autofocus for video is very good for both - so that wouldn't be a reason to pick the M50 over the SL3. However, the aufo focus through the viewfinder is better on the M50 and there are more AF points to pick from plus face tracking.
If you plan on doing any streaming, the SL3 is a great option!
Tech Gear Talk thanks for the reply,and no I don’t plan on doing live-streaming.
Alright, sounds like you're all set!
I was all ready to drop my money on the M50, but it looks like the SL3 is exactly what I need for video. This review comparison was perfect.
Are you using SL3 now??
@@reedandesmas6292 Yep. I have the SL3. I find it great for video and the Face-detect is awesome. I don't care to use it with the eyepiece because my T7i has much better focus through the eyepiece though.
I just recently bought an RP too and that one is even better for video and the EVF is a game-changer. Plus all the Full-frame advantages. Same Battery as the T7i & SL3 is a bonus.
I recommend the SL3 if you're shooting videos or you like to use Live-View for pictures. It forces you to use the touchscreen to access more features so it can be quite a bit harder than a T7i to use with gloves on if that's a concern for you.
I'll add that it's also my primary webcam now too. I use the EOS utility to pair it to my computer and put on the 24mm f2.8 lens. Some temperature-controlled Neweer lights on an umbrella stand pointed at the wall behind my computer to soften it aad I can shoot at 1/60 f2.8 ISO 800 and look great for my Zoom meetings when I'm not recording music.
Thanks! You really helped me clear my vision! I am starting to get into TH-cam and your comprehensive review helped me to finally get the 250D :D
I'm really glad I was able to help. Thank you for being part of the channel and good luck with yours!
Your videos have been EXTREMELY helpful. Subscribed!!
I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and for the kind words. Thank you for joining the community 🙏
Which one of these did you like?
You know what I like about you you're so honest you are so honest how you go through your presentation on both cameras amazing
I'm really happy the presentation style is helpful. The only thing that matters to me is that I give you my honest opinion.
Well done Sagi. You deserve more subs bud!
Thanks so much Patrick. In time, if people find value in the videos, watch/share I think it will happen.
Great review! It really helps a lot, i finally have an answer for choosing these cameras. SL3 would be the best fit for me. Thank you!
So glad it was helpful!!! Thanks for joining the community 👊🙏
which one would u reccomended to a vlogger? I have the g7x ii, but i want some professional shoots to mix in my videos... what would u reccomend?
buy sl3 so u have alot of lens option and cheap too
Vc por aqui? Que surpresa! 😃
Nice question. Following.

Hello I found your video very helpful. I want to buy one of them but I can't decide. Which one of them would you reccomend for professional photos?
Really helpful video, both in terms of the information and especially the explanation. Thank you for making this. More power to you and your channel!
I found your video helpful. I like the m50 but with your video, I'm beginning to change my mind.
I'm super glad it was helpful! Thank you for the kind words and for joining the community 🙏
I'm looking for my first profesional camera for nature shots. Would you recommend the m50, sl2 or sl3
Hi Gabrielle - I would probably get the M50 before of the improved autofocus for photography using the EVF. If you plan on using the LCD to frame and set focus, then you can go with the SL3. From an image quality standpoint, they use the same sensor.
Amazing video, Thankyou, I find myself in this very predicament, choosing from these two cameras. I am a beginner and intend on doing a multitude of photography and filming including landscape photography, sports photography and filming and also food photography. I have recently held both of these cameras and my personal preference was the the SL3 felt better in the hand. It seems both cameras are very good and both will help me on my beginners journey, so my question is with these cameras being very similar and listening to your advice is the way it feels in the hand enough or should I consider more things.
Thankyou
Lee
You nailed it! I feel the same way - I reach for the SL3 instead of the M50 because it's more comfortable. The biggest advantages of the M50 are that you can see the exposure in the viewfinder and there is the possibility for a speedbooster with EF lenses. If those two don't make you say "I need an m50" then definitely go with the SL3 because you are more likely to use a camera that feel comfortable. Hope that helps.
What a great review, congrats! I have just a question: which one would be the best choice for photographing landscapes? I mostly take pictures of the sky, parks, beaches, during the day.
I was looking at buying my first dslr/mirrorless camera and couldn't decide which - this video was a huge help, so thank you!
I would definitely watch the comparison with the adaptors on.
Thanks for watching and the feedback Joel!
I am late to the party but I am so glad I have found your channel. Just brilliant.
I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and for the kind words. Thank you for joining the community 🙏 - welcome!
You kept my request!
I love you Tech Gear! 💖
Hope you like how it came out. Let me know which camera you liked better at the end.
Love the work you do! Very informative, I decided to go with the m50 after watching this and I'm definitely not disappointed. Keep that amazing content coming!!!
CONGRATS!!! So glad you love your camera 👊
Appreciate all the kind words!
Does the Cannon Sl3 allow for an external mic? Sorry if I missed it in your excellent review. Keep going you are doing great!
Yes it does Terry 👍🏻. Thank you for being part of the channel!
Deserving of a New SUB. Done,and Thank you . Appreciate the time and effort put in for this video.
Thanks so much for the feedback and for joining the community Eric 🙏
Thank you so much sir for clearing my confusion
Love from India ♥️🇮🇳
Super glad I was able to help! Appreciate the support!
Hello sir, I am currently planning to buy the SL2. Should I wait till this SL3 hits the market here in middle east to expect a price reduction on the SL2. Currently SL2 is being sold at a retail price of 590 USD with an 18-55 mm kit lense.
If you're going to buy the SL2 for sure, I would wait a little and you will get a better deal. I'm already seeing that happen in different places. In the US the price difference isn't that big. Is there a release date where you live?
Wow! Very detailed review. I'm new to photography and am enrolling in a class. Which would you recommend Asa first camera? I don't plan to do live streaming or video but one never knows. Thank you for taking the time to guide me.
Great video. I'm a beginner looking for a good inexpensive camera to shoot photos and occasionally videos. What camera would you recommend?
12:10 so with a 300mm Lens i Would get 480mm Zoom 😂
since 300 * 1.6 is 480 ?
That is correct (if you compare it to a full frame sensor camera) you will get a 480mm equivalent field of view.
This is great! Thank you for putting so much effort in your videos, you clearly see the quality and the passion :)
I'm glad the video was helpful. Thanks for the kind words!
Really good comparison and very helpful in my search for my first camera. My only complaint is that I didn’t really see any low-light photos taken with the M50.
Not sure what I should invest in since lens types, mirrorless/DSLR are all factors. The SL3 seems like the way to go here but the Sony mirrorless stuff also has my attention.
Subscribed for more
Thanks for the feedback Jordan. I’ll add some M50 low light shots for a future video.
The Sony a6400 is another good option if you want to look at Sony. I really liked the a7iii but it’s in another price point th-cam.com/video/X0wp0GRgFsk/w-d-xo.html what will you use your camera for?
Tech Gear Talk Great, thanks! :)
I will mostly be using for basic photography (nature, landscape, lifestyle) and I would also like to begin posting music and music gear related videos to TH-cam again, but properly now that it’s 2019;) An articulating screen would be great but not a must-have.
I guess my only hang up with the Sony stuff is the price because I need some other gear and software but at the same time, I don’t want to get something that’s only marginally better than my iPhone. Also, the lack of 24fps HD on the SL3 is kind of a bummer.
Thanks for the feedback!
Looks like your comment got cut off.
Yes, sony gear is $$$
I just got an a6400 and will do a livestream this weekend if you're interested in watching/asking questions. Looks pretty good from my research so far.
@@jordandedomusic if you want a camera for photography SL3 does not accept third-party flashes, which is surprisingly unacceptable. Besides it doesn't has 24 fps in 1920. Again, terrible surprise. What did do Canon with this camera? M50 does not has these problems. About the lenses... Canon has cheaper lenses than Sony. And with an adapter on M50 you can access to the whole world Canon lenses.
Mario Benites thanks for your reply! Great info
Best review I have seen for this two camera comparison, new subscriber.
Really enjoyed your video.
For a photography travel purpose, which would be your choice?
Thanks Gabriela. I really like the small size of the M50 for travel. Hope that helps.
I got the sl3 loving it.
CONGRATS!!! Glad you found a good fit!
I don’t know what I should buy.
U have gotten a new subscriber ❤️
What will you use the camera for? Thank you for the support!
Tech Gear Talk I would use it for TH-cam Videos and for traveling
Both will do a similar job (as long as you don't need 1080p/24 (which the SL3 can't do).
The M50 is smaller which is nice for traveling but I would suggest that you go to a store and hold both to see which is more comfortable to use.
Tech Gear Talk Thank you❕😊
You're very welcome
Finally Sagi! A huge Thanks!🙏🙏❤❤💯
You're welcome brother! Hope you like it. Let me know what you think.
@@TechGearTalk really helpful, but i think I'm still buying the sl2. And your page is also Very helpful, Thanks again
Glad to hear that. You know I love the SL2 so I think it's a fantastic choice.
Ive ordered the SL3 (well, the EOS 250d here in Spain)
another note worth saying, I ordered a silver body, with leather looking (not sure if it is leather) grip!
there are 3 colors, black, white, and silver. (not sure if the M50 has those options too.
I also wanted to say that I made the choice thanks to this video, I prefer the option of more variety of lenses!
so thank you for this video!! I appreciate it! I also got my old EOS 700d working again, and hot even got it to work as a webcam with just the USB cable!
I have one more question, what type of USB connection is on the 250d? is it the same as the 700d? or has it changed?
Thank you for all of your videos, truly appreciate content creators who help people making their choices!
Hey man, great video! I'm looking to get something for my band to use for cover videos. We do like the slightly more cinematic feel but at the same time, we'd also like to use it for vlogging, which the SL seems better for. What's your opinion on it? Thanks again!
What's up Nic! Both would work really (especially for video). The image quality is essentially identical. SL3 has more lenses without needing an adapter.
The SL3 is a little bigger which some people like. I use it more than my M50.
For photography 👉SL3 is better
For Videography 👉M50 best option
Appreciate you watching and sharing your input 🙏🏻
Thanks
@@lourdyregis7033 sl3 is better by the specifics I think :D
I disagre! I have used the M50 for videography, and it’s SO bad! I would go for the SL3 for both hands Down
@@SimonChristensen619 I have Sl3 ,, Mirror less is batter then Dlr for Videography,,,
But for Videography 👉 SL3 is a good choice cause it's longer Battery🔋
Bloopers are always fun lol. Good video
Thanks J! Appreciate the feedback, hope the video was helpful.
oh god i had my hand on my heart the whole time because i chose SL3 over the M50 and i was TERRIFIED i made the wrong choice
Thank you for making my decision easier. Your reviews and explanation on Mirrorless or DSLR cameras are easy to follow. Because of this review, I'm going to purchase the SL3.
I'm super glad it was helpful! Thank you for the kind words and for joining the community 🙏
Would you say the 250D still holds up vs the M50 Mk II in 2022?
I'd like to upgrade my 100D that I use as a webcam for online teaching/TH-cam videos and the M50 Mk II comes highly recommended. The only thing putting me off is the fact that all my lenses are EF mount and an adapter is just something extra I'd have to buy. The specs for the 250D and M50 Mk II look virtually identical on paper so is there anything I'd be missing out on by getting the 250D instead? Any insight you have would be greatly appreciated.
Ur amazing...so underrated
That is so kind of you to say. I’m glad that the videos are useful and grateful to have you in my community 🙏🏻
"tech gear" you cant have everything in one camera. "canon" hold my beer. "canon" releases eos r5
I know right!!! I can't wait for that camera!!!
Just like at least 9 times more expensive but hey 😂😂
@@therealcinnimo I can sell my kidney.. icould.. god gave me two because he knew canon would exist in this timeline..
cannon moving forward pass the boomer speeds.
thanks for watching. I'm not sure I understand.
@@TechGearTalk you wouldn't get it
ok
Awesome video, thank you! The 4k focus issue is a bummer. I'm looking for a camera for mainly 4k video but also for some photographs. Camping, dog, gaming. Would these two still be the best options or are there better affordable options now?
This video makes me stay put from the start to the end as it really informative and straight to the point🥰💞😍😘 looking forward for more content of yours😘
I'm so glad you liked the video and found it useful! Welcome to the channel!
Hey, you answered my comment on the SL2 vs. SL3 video yesterday. Thank you so much. I appreciate the fact that you answer your viewers' comments. You are selling me on the M50. It's cheaper and it seems to fulfill all my needs. I was thinking about the SL2, but I can't find any legitimate sellers online. Overall the M50 looks so gnarly. Thank you so much. You are getting a subscribe!
So glad I was able to help and thanks for the Sub!
Hi, I really loved this kind of videos where presenter is not biased, just straight talk, now I'm not exactly in the process of getting either the M50 or the SL3 BUT either the 90D or the SL3. But my question is, with APS-C sensor which lense whould I get for wide angle live streaming? I do just talking head videos and I won't record on the cam itself but using vMix or my computer so I want the depth of fild or blur background effect?. So what's your advice on this, livestreaming and wide angle shot and 1080p resolution !4K. Thanks
I just bought the SL3 yesterday and didn't even know about mirrorless cameras. I like the idea of no moving parts and 10 vs 5 fps shooting but it's too late to cancel my order.
This will be my first real camera I hope I got the right one. I plan to do mostly nature photography, astrophotography with my telescope, time lapses, and long exposure stuff.
Hi Joey and welcome to the channel. The SL3 is a great camera. Check out this sl3 streaming setup: th-cam.com/video/XKVrK4Y0ehg/w-d-xo.html
Hello! I think your video is amazing! I am looking for a good camera to take fashion and makeup pictures for instagram, especially portrait. Which one do you recommend?
Many thanks for a very helpful in-depth review. I am a beginner who is just venturing into the world of DSLR and you have covered a lot of my questions and answered many that I had not thought of!
Keep up the good wrk and Happy Easter!
Hi, Dude! I wanted to ask a few questions. My budget is 600€ and currently I'm planning to get a camera. The M50 is really well priced here where I live. It cost 569€ with the EF-M 15-45 mm lens. Should I buy that or wait for the M50 mk2 which isn't even confirmed yet. Also considering this is my first camera. Thanks a lot dude! You're my favorite youtuber.
Thanks for this video! Which of these cameras would you recommend to record + sell online courses?
Great comparison video! Do you know how long the sl3 will last doing video with the battery and no coupler?
Thank you for a great channel! Im torn between the the m50 mark ii and the 250d. I think i will use it more for photography. I love macro shots and nature photography. I have a sx60 and 50 for the superzoom lenses. I do however want to step up and do more portraits and action shots. Mirrorless will a new experience for me and would love to know if it will be a big advantage over a dslr like the 250d. Im also guessing that shooting outside in daylight the m50 will do better since you will use the viewfinder more taking advantage of the 1:1 exposure where the 250d will do fine indoors on portrait with the lcd? Does it come down to shooting style? I can look past the battery life and the differences in fps on the video features and lens options. My sx50/60 does sit nice and snug in my hands but i dont have particularly large hands so I might get used to the compact size especially when doing outdoor excursions. I hope my rant makes sense. Will you be able to make a choice on the above comments?
Thank you again for all great advice and excellent tutorials. Greetings from Namibia.
