so did you eventually make a video about live streaming on the canon m50? i need to know the setup. what hardware to buy? just usb cable? hdmi?
I wish some hacker would just modify or write new firmware where the dual pixel autofocus works on 4k
@@HaydonS go for it. I have it and it’s amazing for everything I need it to do. Beginner-Advanced photography, I’m learning cinematic video editing and color grading, and vlogging. I use the kit lens and it’s amazing!
Yeah these fuckers have intentionally limited its capabilities so it doesn’t sabotage their other higher end camera sales
@Choto Hamim where to find it?
@Choto Hamim where
@Choto Hamim 😴
Help a brotha out. Is the M50 able to provide that depth of field look? Also...what does mirror less mean?
So, our channel's growing as fast as never before. Great Effort! Enjoying like always.
I spend so much time on youtube i dont even need notifications, love you...r videos.
2:54 g7.... thats my baby!!!!!
Nice review. But how do you get around the 30 minute shutdown for live streaming?
You’re amazing for including metrics for everyone else in the world.
Thanks for doing this, I just got an M50 to do video and this turned me on to a few features I'd missed.
Thanks for the video! what song did you use btw?
I agree with what you say about Canon at the end of this video. If they can put this stuff into a 6D MK3 with dual slots and a headphone jack - I'd buy one in a heartbeat and I'm a Nikon shooter. Please Canon hurry up I really don't want to buy a A73.
Wanted this ever since it came out. Just got it 4 days ago. It has waaaayyy better quality than my old camera which was the canon sx530 hs. I plan to make music videos now
This was super informative, interesting, not boring! Thank you, I'm sold!
I have the m50. Don't really use the 4k, but really like the camera. I just wish the would still allow snapping a pic while in movie mode
Is the camera good for stills ?
@@omarkhalid8290 I think so. I'm no pro photographer, but the ones I've taken look great. Imo
Very Nicely done ! 🏆
Really? Did they really take out Dual Pixel AF to protect their higher tier cameras??
I'm also sad that 120fps is not at 1080p...
A lot of nice bits of information here. One nice thing about that mic port compared to the SL2 that I use is that it is higher up on the M50, so it looks like less of the screen is blocked when doing selfie stuff. They did a solid job with the little things here outside of the intentionally limited 4K.
Ya! If you forget about 4K and only use it in certain circumstances (locked off on a tripod with manual focus) then it’s a solid little camera
great video! the m50 is going to be my first big boy camera. can’t wait to take some shots!
Great vid!! Im buying one now for my channel!! Hopefully it gets my paintings looking great!! Thanks for the share!
What camera do you recommend for vloggers? Just starting out here and not sure what to get?
what is the advantage of eye detection in this camera ??
Thanks for the video - I'm torn between this and the M6 for video only...need to make a decision!!
I can't wait for Photokina this fall. Going to be HYPE!!!
Just got this camera and I’m loving it! Thank you for the video!
It’s a wonderful camera.i couldn’t even use a simple point and shoot but always wanted to do photography and videography now I can. This camera and TH-cam taught me so much. It’s a piece of piss to use although I’m still learning. One thing that nearly killed me with shock was the prices of lenses,even second hand ones! I bypassed the M range of lenses because I see this as only the start and you can only use M lenses on M cameras so I bought a knock off adapter to get this camera to fit canons other ranges of lenses. When I Change camera I don’t wanna be stuck with M lenses I can’t use. The sound quality is shite so I got a Rode mic the one shown in the video. Lovely camera but expect to pay more for much needed accessories (buy more batteries this camera sucks power) nice video Ta very much ❤️ 📷
For photography better this camera or the sony a6400?
My real estate set up is a Canon M50 w/ the Laowa 9mm f2.8 ef-m mount lens. Which equates to a 13.5mm full frame.
Is there a Viltrox speed booster or anything that will allow me to get better/wider 4k and allow more light in? I run into some houses with very poor natural light.
This is the same exact set up I use for my channel!
Bro, between cannon m50 and panasonic lumix g85 which gives best output in photography and videography in all aspects for vlogging/filmmaking
What is the best lens to run for landscape photography with the m50?
What a video !!! Love it !!!
But still which is better among the Canon M50 or SL2 / 200D ? ( For photography and videography ) - cinematic video
Beat the 4K crop with a Laowa 9mmno distortion lens.
I needed to mention that of the several reviews I’ve seen on this camera, yours has to be the best. It’s “cut to the chase”, very informative; short and sweet. Thank you very much! I’ll be subscribing. Also, you mentioned a couple features others never mention (compressed raw, the audio quality aspect, the far focus jump thingy - I’m still experimenting with this lol- etc..) excellent review!!! - and btw, I hate to bother commenting unless I’m very impressed with someone’s work and have to give kudos.
@landeus has explained everything that it's in my heart right now. I found this video just currently in Nov. 2019 and I was usually a silent reader and never put on any comment on any channel. But this guy made such a good video which highlights important aspects of the camera which I don't even found elsewhere. Thanks so much. I'm subscribing and gave a like because he deserved it.
Ordered it after your recommendation two days ago and I've been playing with it for a few hours. The 4K autofocus issue is a shame, but it's still better than my G7X Mark II, at least in my limited use of it thusfar. Still usable for vlogging with the 11-22mm IMO. It's such a hard sell when you read the specs and even when seeing some videos on it, but I really, really like this.
The stabilization is ridiculously better on this than it was on my 70d when I had that. It also fits nicely on my $15 rubber flexible tripod thing that weighs considerably less than the GorillaPod that's currently being used to hang my deadlift suit to dry.
Found out about the unfortunate audio plug situation, but once the screen is flipped, you can go back and forth without needing to flip it at that awkward 90 degree angle again until you're totally done. (maybe a screen protecter would come in handy here?)
The 120fps is a huge pain in the butt to get to, but it's honestly pretty decent if you're just watching it on your phone. B-roll stuff maybe? (in really good light, lol)
Got the M50 body, 18-150 lens, (tbh you really could just use this to vlog imo. the whole package is physically smaller than the 70d I had that I get the same field of view that I did with the 70d/10-18 combo set at 15 or 16mm), 11-22mm lens, and an extra battery for almost $500 less than the A7III body alone. Saved me a ton of cash there, so thank you again.
Going to shoot a video with it tomorrow for kicks comparing the S9+ and G7X Mark II as vlogging cameras since I'm now over the initial shock of what I look and sound like. B-roll in DC might be nice if it ever stops raining. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Solid recommendation, and please continue with The Office references, they definitely don't go unappreciated.
I swear I'm not one of those essay writers in the comments, at least not regularly.
Wow awesome comment Omar! Thank you for taking the time to post it! That’s so awesome that you love the camera! I love mine and just sold my 80D for it myself! It’s the best camera for youtubers in 2018 in my opinion!
I've been using the Sony a5000 for so long now and it's time for an upgrade, this looks like it will do the vlogging for me just right!
Totally! Would be a great upgrade
Cheers fella, I just need a good cheapish external mic now as well, I haven't got a clue where to start with this, I've never used one before!
Best mic for the price: www.amazon.com/Movo-VXR10GY-Microphone-Windscreen-Smartphones/dp/B076X7VWYV/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1528858033&sr=8-1&keywords=movo+mic
Love it and I'll love it even more if i get one
Very lovely camera
M50 mark 1 has eye detection feature? Don't you have to upgrade to the mark II for that?
Fan of your videos from Philippines 🇵🇭😊😊
Thank you Christopher!
Good points that I haven't seen in any other review. Maybe you can answer a question I have about this camera: when shooting 1080P, does it allow you to control the rate of focus when using DPAF? I think it's called "Movie Servo AF Tracking Sensitivity" in the 80D's menu.
best reviews for the M50 to excite the buyer that ive seen.
Great information, I just moved up from my Regel T3i to the Cannon M50, looking forward to producing some amazing fashion vlogs!
So lame that Canon disabled the DP AF for 4K because they were worried they couldnt sell more expensive 4K options… what the heck
Totally… at least now you can get an M6 mkii that has all the capabilities! Or even better, the EOS R10!
@@connormccaskill ... or R50, but RF-S lenses suck.
The only thing that this camera has me on the fence is the fact the screen doesn’t have the volume levels.... BUT the weight, size and focus peaking is awesome. I’m either going to get this M50 or the 80d
Can it handle a line input vs a mic, say from a mixing board?
Would you recommend this camera for youtube or the M6. great video btw
Good video, I just got my m50, do you have a link or model of mic used in this video? Looking to get decent one without breaking the bank. Thanks
For point #9, there is no clean HDMI (with autofocus enabled) with the original M50, but there is with the M50 MKII.
that B and H Photo deal makes this extremely hard to pass up. At that price I'm fine with sacrificing auto focus 4k and I'll just live with manually focusing in that mode.
Totally! We found a speed booster for the M50 as well that we will review when we get it! That takes the 4K crop to super35 mode! Pair a sigma 18-35 with it and you have major success right there!
awesome news on the crop fix, can't wait to see the speed booster review!
it is mentioned that the 4k does not have dual focus. does the 1080p have dual focus? may I know what is the role of a dual focus as compared to a non dual focus?
Can it use ef-s lenses without using adapters? With or without adapters, how is the lens performance on the m50?
Can I use this camera with a powerbank? And what about the Viltrox 0.71x adapter, do the autofocus is usable? For stills and videomaking.
hello! im unsure if I should buy the m5 or the m50, i like to travel and take pictures and little video, what would you recommend me?, the m5 would be like 40 dls cheaper, thanks!
Loved your video! Definitely subscribing! Where can I get a tripod like the one you showed in this video?
Thanks for the video. What's the reference of the videomic?
what do you mean? if you want a good mic... i recommend the new Deity D4 DUO! th-cam.com/video/_L204xMjL2s/w-d-xo.html
@@connormccaskill Thanks for the recommendation. I meant the one you showed in the video that only costs 49$
Right so i want to use this camera to record a piano show next month, i realise recording pianos properly would require quite a lot of mics etc, but i just wanted to know if there is a mic for this canon you can recommend that would be up to the job of recording audio that will have quite a bit of echo/reverb to it? One that i can simply attach to the camera?
Best option in my opinion is the Azden SMX-30 if you can afford it. If that’s too much, get the Rode video micro mic.
What would be the m50 for photography?
Would you really have preferred DPAF with 4K in the M50 with a MJPEG codec?
YES YES YES, I check its samples on DPReview and they looked amazing. I didn't believe in Canon's mirrorless but I just bought one right after this video.
Thanks for the video bro, just picked one of these up.
Hello sir
I am thinking to purchase viltrox speed booster..
Should I invest in speed booster?
Or should I invest in lenses?
Does the M50 have any sort of manual gain control for the microphones? I find this really useful on my 650D and would be a deal breaker without it.
How to stream with that cam? How to power it?
Is this camera great for stills and video? Currently have a nikon 3400 looking for an upgrade?
Is it compatible with the larger apsc lenses
I own the sony a7s mark 1 for my gf's cooking youtube channel and it works great for me. But I want to pick up a second camera for vlogging and travel. Would you recommend the m50? Is the 1080p (sharpness) as good or almost as good as the a7s? I'm sure the colors will be much better. I really like that the m50 is cheap with good AF. Oh, and I don't need 4k! Thanks!
So if you can hack the camera, you can switch on the feature canon has disabled?
Can someone please help, i don't see the option to enable eye detection a 1:59. Where can I find it? Please someone help me, thanks.
should I go for m50 considering both photographyy and cinematigraphy? or a6000?
Great review very helpful
Crazy editing Man haha
I love my M50 with L glass. Amazing! Hidden gem.
Totally!! Thanks for the comment Wes
What is L-Glass?
Can you do a comparison between sony a6300, canon m50 and fuji ax5 ?
this is such an "ePIC" review, keep it up! LOL :P
would you say a 15m-45mm lens is a good size?
what is the brand of your glasses and hat you're wearing? let me know
Is it possible on the M50 to change the autofocus in 4 k so it works. You said the manufacturer disabled it to preserve prices of their higher end range, is there a tweek that can change this??
Once there is no switch from Af to M, i wonder is it possible to switch from AF to manual focus during the video?
Now let me tell you that it is very strange to do a review of a M50 without knowing it and not knowing that the M lenses of the canon do not have button from Af to M.
Just wondering…..does this camera take still photos?
Can you use the camera with out any lenses attached. ?
Yup!
Kinotika thanks.
Is it possible to mount the speedbooster on a full frame camera and get even better result?
No.
Great summary... Thanks!
for family use which one i can buy canon m50 or 77d
Congrats on 20k subs.
Thanks!
It crops 4K? Might as well keep shooting 1080 on the 70D. My only question for live streaming is will it shutdown after 15 minutes like the 70D?
Happy I bought this camera!
Great content you just helped me out
Hey man, thanks for the info..
I just bought the Canon M50 with the lens kit and I was looking to buy a second lens for my portfolio.
Would you recommend the 22mm or the nifty fifty?
I'll be shooting: sporting events, outdoor adventures, food adventures, family gatherings. Things like that.
For sports you really want a fast lens, the nifty fifty is a great choice at a good price, just remember you need the ef-s adapter for that. For family gatherings the kit lens and it's 15mm (24mm when you add in the crop factor) will do the trick.
Another thing I realized is that in bulb mode we cannot set out time and there is no timer imput!!!
The m50 is so interesting i would love to upgrade my m5 to it
That'll be a downgrading. M5 is in higher end as the M50
Steffan S. Thygesen nah nah the m5 suckss
thanks for this! Only one question: with my eos m5 I can not use the wifi control in videomode on my iphone whats really bad. Can I use the Remotefunction in Videomode with the m50?
The 4K with massive crop and without proper auto focus as well as the terrible 120fps at 720p seems like a bad joke. Currently shooting on the sl2 which is nearly half the price with the full lens options without adapter is still a much better choice in my opinion. There is no “fake” 4k and slow mo though. 😉
what mic is that with the red cable?
How about AF speed, being compared to M5?
You need to watch prices. I scored a brand new M50 with the kit lens on eBay for $509.
This video was made right when it came out. Those deals didn’t exist yet
Hi! Thank you for the video:) Can you please link the microphone? That would help a lot! Thank you
Which mic?
I was under the impression that the m50 ONLY has clean hdmi out when autofocus is disabled. Can you have clean hdmi out with autofocus ENABLED? (Most say the autofocus white box is still there when enabled)
You mention the New CRAW file format but no mention of CR3 ?
Ya, thats what I was referring to. CR3 isn't fully supported everywhere but Lightroom uses it fine. I just cant see it in the browser
Just got mine for a good price Kit lens and all. I also added the viltrox m2 adapter. $120.
@Deepanshu Gupta dont know how professional you need. But Its a large MP sensor. I took some photographs and enlarged it on a 20x30 print for a client and it came out great. As long as you keep the ISO low. Like most entry level cameras you'll be fine. Pair it with nice glass and your good to go.
Then again, I was using the ef speedbooster and the canon ef 85mm 1.8 lens.
Check out the photography reviews from disney images channel.
@Deepanshu Gupta that's basically what the 80D. Good video recorder.
What do you plan on using it for?
I can say.....I miss the dials. But you can customize all the buttons.
There is multi fn button. Wheel on the shutter button. And the mode dial. The d pad. And the 2 buttons on the top right on the back. * and whatever thay other icon is.
I have my top dpad to toggle between aperture and shutter speed. Left d pad for iso. Or you can use the mult fn button for that. Right d pad for AF modes.
And bottom d pad for changing my white balance and Kelvin.
I've gotten use to the button combos so no biggie.
Yes its smaller, and more button combos to navigate. Just depends on what you need.
I picked it for the better processor, better dual pixal, mirrorless, focus peeking, adjusting Kelvin, smaller body, and has good 1080p, and you can adapt the speedbooster-which helps with a stop of light, and reduce that crop image a bit.
@Deepanshu Gupta its perfect in most light conditions. For photography. It struggles in low light. Around 800-1600 iso. If you can navigate around that, you should be fine. I use flash and umbrella even in daylight under shade to really get that full of light effect. Check out yongnuo for flashes and lenses. They have some decent items!
If you can handle some noise in your images at higher iso you'll love the m50.
I was using the newer 77d and I replaced it with my m50. I felt the same. Loved the bulkiness, felt better. And the buttons. But I NEVER WANTED to lug it around.
With the m50, due to its form factor. It's super compact, I even think of ways to bring it with me in case I want to use it.
If youre really intrested in buying one..... email me @tx.media.creation@gmail.com . I personally own 3, a 77d. And the new EOS R.
Maybe I can sell you mine, just bought it. And I can hook you up with a good bundle. Kit lens, ef mount + ef lens and spare batteries?
But then had the impulse to fork over for the new EOS R last week. So now I dont need it. Lol I use them for video work. Weddings and parties. They are great "cheap"(600ish), small, b cameras!
@Deepanshu Gupta email me and I can show you the images I've gotten so far and the video. If you want to see what its capable of.
@Deepanshu Gupta no problem! If you decide to get a speedbooster or viltrox EF adapter. Dont even bother with the M mount kit lens and save your money. Just get the m50 body and spend the extra you would to bundle the kit lense. For an m2 adapter($40) and a cheap yongnuo 50mm 1.8 ($40-70 usd,) mark ii if you can!
I've used them and own them all- YNUO 50mm f1.8 mi, 50mm f1.8 mii, then more expensive canon 50mm f1.8 STM, and even the more expensive 50mm f1.4 USM lens.
For starting off I can really recommend it. Look anywhere on any platform about photography and video. The Nifty 50 is a go to inexpensive lens to start with!
Just today I bought it..Wanting to know the all the features...
Plz do video about m50 video recording with different frames and resolution...how to set120p ?
Sl3 (200dii) or m50 for photography?
