- Canon's mirrorless offerings have struggled to gain an audience, but the recent M5 was a huge step in the right direction. Now Canon have released the EOS M50, a scaled back, more user friendly camera that also offers 4K video and eye detect for the first time in the M series. This episode, Chris Niccolls takes the EOS M50 to the Sunnyside neighbourhood in Calgary to see how this new camera stacks up!

Hey everyone, I got my m50 the other day and I thought that I would share my thoughts on this camera. First of all, the demographic is for entry level users which I am, so a shorter battery life is perfectly fine for someone like me because I'm not constantly taking photos at a paid gig. The battery has lasted me two days of casual photo taking on one charge. I put an effort to use the camera as much as I could even! On the second day I was holding the shutter on high speed mode so I could discharge the battery quicker. but to be fair, I did turn off continuous autofocus. Image quality is great, awesome for photography I think. I have a lot of canon glass and the adapter worked like it would on a full body DSLR. The focus is spot on. Just about all my images are sharp and in focus. Some things I don't like about the camera I if I place my finger near the top of the screen the sensor kicks in and switches to the view finder which is quite annoying. It also takes a second for the viewfinder to actually switch, that irritates me the most. For video, it's pretty weak and all of that is already covered in the video. The new RAW format had irritated me a lot because none of my post editing software supported it and using canons software caused errors in some of my images during in the conversion to JPEG. I really like this camera and I certainly don't regret buying it.
Would you say its better for photography than the G7X mark ii? i really cant make up my mind between these two cameras
@@AmirGuitarlover m50 better
I suggest converting into DNG for now. Works great especially for older Lightroom versions.
Hi Chris, I'm a long-term Canon user and I didn't think you were Canon bashing at all. As usual, excellent fair and honest review. You showed both strengths and weaknesses and made valid comments. That's why I watch all of your reviews, regardless of the camera being tested.
I agree!
I agree, too!
Beautifully shot--what a terrific ad for the GH5!
Love this camera, nothing to complain about, crisp pictures, good specs.
Finally a review that actually covers the point and shoot side of this camera instead of the 1080p 4K part!
I love when the video guys appears! Unbiased, straight to the point and sincere comments after all! Awesome
love this format of walking around for reviews!
only watching this now but that camera your filming with is amazing ….cant stop looking at the detail and beauty
This video made me appreciate the SL-2.
Please elaborate why.
Sunnyside School represent!
only one dial...just re-map your buttons (M-Fn to +/-) and the one wheel is now three, you silly goose p.s. try using the eye detect before saying it doesn't work, it does! EF-M 28mm macro is da-bomb!
Pretty stunning colors on GH5, amazing quality.
I really wish you guys shot the episode on the camera you are reviewing (providing it's capable).
Isaac Medina We only had one available to test unfortunately. Would have loved to shoot the episode on it but early cameras usually come alone.
Chris@TCSTV
Actually, after seeing the video quality, maybe it's just best to stay with the GH5.
That red bridge has been in more TCS videos than Chris has.
It is wonderful, though!
It's always a pleasure to watch your videos, guys just go on like this. And of course many thanks.
The dynamic range on this video is insane!
I’m testing the GH5’s HLG recording. I like the DR, but I’m struggling with the colour. Things should improve as I figure out how to grade it.
Excellent use of a bench - give a sit - love it. We are lucky to live in a world where camera purchasing has reduced but the choice and quality of good cameras makes it tough to compete.
Great review. Chris and Jordan tell it like it is. I was this close to pulling the trigger. I was looking to downsize my backup cam (70D) with something like this. Something a little smaller, lighter.. something I wouldn't feel too badly about if it got dropped, smashed or stolen. But I'll take my chances with the 70D.
Sounds odd when the m50 seems to offer better dynamic range, better AF, better video, more FPS as well than the 70D.
What do you miss about the m50 to not use it over the 70D as backup? Outside of the obvious battery life. ^_^
It doesn't seem like a huge step forward to warrant the $800. I'd need to get at least a kit lens for it, I'd need the lens adapter, another few hundred bucks... and at the end of the day I have something "just a little better" than my 70D. The M50 is a little smaller sure, but the 70D is here, it's paid for, it works fine. I feel like I would be going backwards.
8:30 , great camera. I love it, but yeah I wound up getting extra batteries as backups. And that solves the problem. This camera is amazing!
there are also third party lenses like 7 artisans and kamlan which are pretty high performance and very affordable. I review most of them
Now that’s a video I have been waiting for. Let’s see how it goes.
Towards the end of the video, Jordan mentioned that there are superior cameras at the same price point. What cameras are these? Great, helpful video by the way.
Would have been nice to see how that 4k timelapse feature works
Let me know if I am wrong but for someone like me that can’t use 4K because of my pc this has everything I want. Great af, flip screen, 1080p 60, mic jack, evf, and for someone like me that shoots with an m and m3 mainly using 720p 60fps for slow-mo and has a bunch of batteries and two lenses it seems to me it is the only camera that has all those features. If I am wrong tell me what else does...minus the lens thing that isn’t that big of a deal. I am not someone that "has to have canon". Thanks.
I edit 4k videos every now and then (for my gf and other friends), and it takes like what? 15-30m? Is it really that long? Just do something else, workout, eat, do some other work.. Why people want to make videos in 1 min or its a no go? Im really curious. Whats the thinking behind this? I got the oooold 7-8 year old CPU (4cores) and it works well. Any more modern CPU will probably speed it up way more?
Yea if it takes 1 hour.. then its a bit too long, but i doubt it takes that long if people have anything after 2016.
When I say I can't I am not saying that it takes a while to do anything. I mean literally the file will not play on my computer. It just is jumpy and glitchy. I am not exaggerating when I say can't. Then there is the issue of my editing program doesn't go higher than 1080p. But even just the footage straight off camera will not play. All that being said is there another camera that has all of the features I am looking for?
Great review. Thank you and the camera guy
I'm blown away by the quality of this video - not the image quality, but just how fantastically well shot, narrated and presented it is. Then to add on the impressive content - you know your stuff, tell it straight and make watching a worthwhile and enjoyable experience. Bravo.
0:15, it says the episode is shot on a panasonic, but the still gallerys are all from the camera. Hope that clears it up
Kickass Dual pixel AF, awesome flippy touch screen, digic 8, responsive evf, and mic jack. Lenses are sharp and reasonably priced. Really easy to use and jpgs look good.
I wanted to try my hand at video but my Nikon DSLRs weren't properly equipped. I saw this camera and fell in love with its price point and the fact that the Z6 & 7 are a tad pricey and weren't out yet. I didn't want to invest in a whole other system, but thought hey lets give it a shot. 2 months later I still am really impressed with this little thing. Yes there are some drawbacks but I knew that going into it. I like it for the reasons I bought it. I even liked it so much I bought an M5 as a secondary to use in tandem for filming.
boy that panasonic gh5 footage is deliciously sharp
It is a great review and one of the most honest I have seen so far on the Canon M50.
The way you used the bench in your review got me subscribed. Had a good laugh
Good honest review guys. Like how you mixed the signs in like "Hope" and "Do Do" 😂
Looking for a new camera to replace my old Canon EOS 500D. Things have moved on a bit since the 500D. I’m thinking the M50 should give me a pretty decent jump forward in capability. I’m on a budget and I’d like to get a mirror less camera with a decent viewfinder and decent video capabilities. This looks just the ticket. Thanks for the review.
I feel like anyone who’s like “I’m dumping Canon for Sony!” is pretty much the same type or even person who ALSO said “I’m dumping Canon for Nikon!” a few years back. Here’s the thing - anyone who’s serious about photography shoots with more than one body. You’ve got a main, and you’ve also got some kind of secondary (and I’m not talking about a backup) from another company. Sometimes you sell it pretty quickly and other times you hang on to it because it’s pretty great... but you still have a ton of lenses in your original system. What ends up happening is that OVER TIME, this other body, if it’s meeting your needs and working well, starts to accumulate lenses in your lineup and eventually you switch to using it more. There’s no sudden moment of “I’m jumping ship!” because lenses are what matter way more than bodies.
The only people who scream and gnash their teeth and post comments about changing bodies because x company is sooo behind and y company is killing it are people who care more about specs than the actual art of photography. They also probably have a kit lens and something like a 50mm and that's it. These are the same people who you probably couldn’t tell the difference between their before and after switching shots because that new body didn’t make them any better. Here’s a hint: it never does.
too sensible, you are so out of trend! =)
If they dumped their Canons for Nikons, why would they still dump Canon for Sony? Shouldn't they be dumping their Nikons for Sony? Or did they switch back to Canon and are now dumping it for Sony? Or are they just saying they're dumping their Canons but not really doing it cos they don't want to sell it for so cheap?
philaw123 The point is that people will complain because it’s the thing to do with no root in actual reality.
"These are the same people who you probably couldn’t tell the difference between their before and after switching shots because that new body didn’t make them any better. Here’s a hint: it never does."
You should see how my shots dramatically improved when switching from a powershot to an APS-C ;-)
Night and day. Though the lenses I got are more expensive than a Full-Frame Body. ;-)
You're missing his point.
What he's saying is... We've been hearing people saying they're dumping Canon for "X" since 2009 but Canon's sales numbers suggest they're still very relevant and king - because the actual professional photographers and enthusiasts invest in glass over bodies time and time again. Its the rise in vloggers that makes ordinary photographers think that there's a mass exodus of both Canon and Nikon, and these individuals come to comment sections such as these with the same rhetoric. Meanwhile, I still have an original EOS M as a second body and will probably finally jump to the M50 after 4 years of owning the M - because I have 2x EF-M lenses and the adapter which gives me access to my other 3x EF lenses form my main body. For me, I primarily shoot photos and I'm personally excited for .CR3.
Do I feel let down by Canon? No. I was never going to sell my first-gen EOS M after just 2 years of owning it because I don't upgrade bodies at every opportunity and with every release cycle. No enthusiast does unless they're doing it for TH-cam.
I feel this video marks a new step in quality, the grading and the detail look amazing. Or was it the fact you had nice natural light? Looks great!
Great review as always guys. I’ve been using a DSLR since October 2016 so not long. Sony a300. Thought that was a great camera to learn on. In my opinion whatever gets people excited about picking up a camera is a good one. Pretty sure this camera will excite TH-cam enthusiasts and people interested in picking up a camera for the first time.
He said panasonic and sony offerings, what wpuld be bang for buck compared to this?
Hi, what microphone are you using in this video? Audio is great
Ughhhh what your filming with is so nice thoooo. I just bought this camera I’ve been really impressed so far. So hopeful I didn’t make a bad impulse choice! Thanks man! Great info! Subscribed!
I'm an invested canon user but I am about to jump ship if canon does not up their game on their next round of camera releases. I really like what Sony did with the A7 III, a full frame camera with pro features at an entry level price. Take note Canon.
very, very, very good reviews guys, love your work. everything i wanna hear.
Entertaining. Thank you for the review. I am a video game streamer and game reviewer and this review helped solidify my decision to get the camera.
having a hard time deciding between the Canon eos m50 vs Sony a6300. I am not a vlogger. I do 70/30 photo/video...
same goes to me. so after 6 month . what u get ?
Chris Nichols you're my cameraman awesome thank you for this wonderful Camry you're using the n50 seasons greetings
I'm always confused by this type of video because I don't know if I'm watching footage shot through an M50 or just watching a completely different camera filming you holding and talking about the M50.
Canon m50 is a great camera for most users and most people are not going to get it to shoot 4k. It produces great image and it's small and you can easily adapt it to the huge market of ef and ef-s lens which is probably one of the biggest strength.
Agree so.much about the lack of good native lenses. They really need a fast normal zoom and a 35mm and 56mm prime
The "1080p" at 9:12 looks like upscaled 720p it's so soft. My t1i 1080p is sharper than that. And when you compare the Canon 4k at 9:53 with the GH5's throughout the rest of the video, what a disaster. Weird skin tones. Is that straight out of the camera, or did Jordan leave a funky adjustment layer on in the edit? Whatever happened to "Canon color science"?
The stills look good, at least... but no, Canon is still not a serious participant in the mirrorless video market.
You're comparing a $700 camera to a nearly $2500 one... Of course the 4K difference is going to be severe, they are basically not worth comparing. The GH5 is well out of the price range of someone looking at this camera. The GH5 is nearly twice the cost of this camera for the body alone, and you will need a serious lens for it to be worth it. I see most bundle it with a nice Leica lens which bumps the cost up to $2500...
Your comment is completely invalid, you cannot compare a $700 camera to a GH5 worth 3 times the amount of one....
Peace Bridge, Eau Claire in Calgary, AB. Reminded me of very nice days!
Canon to you is like Sony to me. Not a hater just not feeling connected. Hope Jordan isn’t getting a cold. Take a good care of yourself, handsome guy!
Canon EF-M 22mm f/2 STM is superb, but M50 is no step in the right direction...
@TheCameraStoreTV
I'm a beginner looking for a full-featured DSLR to grow with (particularly auto-focus, viewfinder, mic input, hot shoe, 1080p video with timelapse and slow mo capability). My options I'm considering are the SL2 and the M50 featured here.
I was looking at mirrorless for form factor and the fact of being able to shoot video and frame with the EVF but it's hardly 100% necessary. At the cheaper price, I'm considering the SL2 but being fairly sure Canon will dive deeper into mirrorless (if not out of sheer survival), part of me wants to go mirrorless and buy EF-M lenses.
Besides, it will take me a while to learn the camera, and the lenses being I'm a beginner and don't have a ton of money so I don't need a HUGE selection.
That all being said, would it be more advantage to get the SL2 and have access to more cheap and used lenses, or get the M50 or another M series camera and have a smaller form factor and EF-M lenses so that when a better mirrorless camera is annouced I will have a nice collection of M series lenses and no need for an adapter.
Woof. Video quality is not very good. Stills look pretty nice though.
I'm extremely happy with my M50. I held off because of the lousy review from above, but there is nothing out there with the same specs for this price point, so I took a leap of faith and I'm glad I did. Picture and video quality is awesome, the cropping may be an issue for some, but for the amount of space it takes, I set it for 1080 anyway.
You'd be surprised how many people don't give a shit about video
I bought a mirrorless camera to take pictures, so yeah :P
Hi Chris! This video was super helpful and so was the Sony A6300 vid so thank you! I'm urgently looking for help on what mirrorless camera might be for me.
So far the ones that have stood out have been the two I've mentioned. I was hoping I could let you know below what are my needs/ purposes for the camera and maybe you can tell me what might be the right fit. I'm open to any brand that would be best. I'm in Canada as well.
Thank you, looking forward to your response!
-Filming dancers in action -indoor & outdoor
-Shooting dancers still/in action- indoor & outdoor
-Filming routines (holding the camera for videography or leaving it on a tripod for at least 3-7 mins more would be a bonus. I hear sometime the cameras "sleep" without notice)
-Vloging - indoor & outdoor
- Bluetooth
- Portrait - indoor & outdoor
-Touchscreen/Flip screen
-Not to heavy
-Preferably under $500, no more than $600 ish' lol
Status: Advanced Beginner level - for now : )
Awesome video, i have question. BTW, I just bought the M60 but what is your audio setup for this video? I love how you can be so far away from the camera? So I assume you have a wireless set up, can you tell me or refer me to a video that explains it?
Luv it how the video is done! Thanks man!
Great real world review guy, thanks for your insight on this camera.
Thanks for your review on the M50. I was sitting on the fence on which camera to buy but you've convinced me to get the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III.
How are you liking it. Some reviews said it can be difficult to figure out the menus but the photos are great. I'm trying to decide between the M50, the Panasonic G7 and the Olympus.
Cropped 4k and no DPAF in that recording mode is pretty disappointing. A recent DPReview interview with Canon executives made it sound like 4K DPAF was not included for marketing reasons rather than technical, though it's possible the translation was off. I was considering a trade-in of my SL2 plus cash for an M50, but the size difference doesn't feel like enough to justify the added expense. That said, I'd love to eventually have a few ef-m cameras for video as long as they have decent quality and DPAF. Maybe next time.
5:43 great future to have a back up on single slot especially if you go to places where they check your camera for photographs like North Korea or simply have a back up.
Thank you both for another interesting review!
Just out of curiosity, can we expect a Sony RX10 IV review in the the future? I know supply was limited at first, but it would be interesting to see how it compares with the Panasonic FZ2500 and the last gen RX10 III.
"Give a sit" haha I died
There are rumors of 32 mm f/1.4 coming in the fall. EOS M5 kit is here 1129 € and M50 729 €. That is a huge price difference. You can get the body alone under 600 €. It is 100 € cheaper than the M6. I have three LP-E12 batteries. If I get M50, I do not need to get anything else. If I get M5 or M6 I have to get at least one spare, that is immediately 65 € additional cost because of Canon's protections that prevent third party ones.
"GIVE a SIT" haha! EPIC! i love this REVIEW!
YESSSS this is what I've been looking for!!!!
The images look pretty nice out of the camera - just sayin'
I think people would be better buying the Panasonic G80/85 instead of the M50. I can't believe that you can't use the dual pixel AF for 4K video, not good. Also, I agree with you that Canon needs to put out more native lenses for this system. If they want to compete, please give us a decent compact super telephoto lens; maybe such as a 200-600mm f4-5.6, that would be great for wildlife shooters-just a thought!
here the M50 is 699 euro with the 15-45mm
The Fuji X-T20 is obviously the better camera. But at 949,- with the 16-50mm it's not directly competing.
it's a bit more expensive then the Panasonic Gx80 but then i'd say Canon made a slightly better camera too.
The Dual pixel 24mp just beats the old Panasonic 16mp sensor. It has a better EVF too.
Overall i honestly like the proposition with european pricing. No it ain't brilliant nor exciting but here it looks competitive. If they actually had a useable native lens line-up with a decent focal length macro and a damn portrait lens.
Thanks for the honest, thorough review. very helpful. I was considering this or the Fuji x-t3, I think I'll wait and save for the Fuji.
I think Sony dropped the a7III price to 2000 and put all those features in fear of the "New Canon mirrorless 4k camera". :-) But Canon's secret weapon was the M50. Thanks Canon, you made all of us photographers very happy. Now we can afford a full featured FF
whats a better camera for under $1000?
Always love the honesty in your reviews!
I quite like the M50.. I currently own an M3 for my casual shooting (5D3 and 5D2 for serious photo work and GH5 for serious video) and the side flipping LCD really sells it to me.. Just wonder what they will bring next as an M5 replacement with 4k with dual pixel autofocus.
Keep being honestly with your review, i like it
I am looking this camera. ..for vlogging. ..am I correct choose
would this work for filming trick shots?
Love the quality of the video from the GH5 youre using. Add some black bars and youre in a movie. Very sharp clear image.
Could you do a tutorial on how you get these settings?
Please remember to shoot at least one shot inside I don't expect real estate shots but, as that's my thing I would like to know about a cameras dynamic range and its abilities to shoot in challenging lighting conditions.
Eg a darkish room with sunlight coming through the window?
can the camera produce a shot which captures inside and the view through the window, i.e HDR ?
6:12 Oh wow what's Tatsuo Suzukis work doing there? Some kind of photo contest?
Hi, I am confused between Canon m50 and Canon 200d from beginer perspective. Can you please suggest me which one will be better? I am not bother about 4k but i am concern with still images, auto focus and low light photography with affordable price.
If i am taking M50 i will be getting only kit lense where as in 200d i am getting 1 telephoto as well at lesser price. Pleas share ur views.
Pawan kumar why should you get M50 instead 200D. 1. Latest image processor (digic 8 while 200D is digic 7). 2. M50 is better at low light situation 3. More focus point then 200D. 4. It can support any canon EF / EFS lens (dslr lens) wih adaptor. 5. Lighter - its a breeze to carry around trust me this one is important.
@@gothickah0 not the op, but thanks from as well!
Started planning on getting an entry level camera. I also have been thinking between 200d and m50.
The lens options do weight a bit on the scale, but as I'm more interested to use the camera on outdoor activities and indoor sports, I think out of the box M50 can hit my needs better?
And as the price in Finland is really similiar for both (600e/700e), that doesn't have such a big factor in it.
for the price its pretty good
just dont expect its a 4k camera
Lucky Never it's not, 4 years old A6000 does better at everything with lower price except the touch screen. You have to be asking what Canon has been doing those 4 last years with no progress.
i am buying A7III but i think M50 is the best vlogging camera
Kai and TheCameraStore be like Canon EOS M50 Sucks
Meanwhile other camera reviewers are giving glowing reviews
The awesome Canon M50 and you're just the man to show it I subscribe to your Channel I could tell you been doing this for a long time you know your cameras and thank you for sharing from Atlanta Georgia
Thanks guys - so, better buy the Fuji xt20 or wait for the next Canon?
I think you are better off with a bit more expensive Sony A6300 (also APS-C) from what I see if you want to use it for video mainly.
I love my M5 when I attach the 22MM f2 and 35MM f.95 Mtiakon, but the 15MM-45MM is average at best. I am very disappointed with the lack of quality EF-M lenses. I particularly would like fast, quality primes, such as a 15MM, 35MM, and 60 MM.
Excellent in depth review, yet again! I would say I'd subscribe, but I already have.
That said, I want to like this camera. I really do. I'm glad Canon is finally starting to venture out of their comfort zone and trying new things, but I am skeptical on the delivery of the M50. To be honest, I'm not completely sure who this camera is for. The 4K is severely limiting and has a lot of issues, slim lens selection, and a competitive market surrounding it? I don't see this selling a lot of units especially not to the Sony and Panasonic faithful. I'm a Canon user myself and as a videographer, I can't bring myself to fully appreciate this camera, even as a first run into the 4K mirrorless world.
I’m sorry you reviewers focus on the wrong things when looking at a camera like the m50. Ultra lightweight with the 22mm lens. Great menu system mic jack and articulating screen. It is the perfect camera for quick interviews for my purposes.
I was nervous when Chris was sitting outside that bridge- looked like it'd be easy to slip and lose your footing in the snow and take a tumble into the river. Would be tragic if his lettuce got mussed.
as a heavily invested Canon user, it sad to see them lagging farther & farther behind. first with VR...but Olympus, Panasonic, Sony & now Fuji are far, far better, first with SLR hi-res video, now they're bringing up the rear. Today, if someone asks for a recommendation...it won't be Canon.
spamboli you must be unhappy. I am happy with Canon, good gear becomes sheaper and sheaper. It's all about pictures not gear.
www.abvandalen.nl
spamboli, i wonder lagging farther & farther behind from what ? those all are just hype. i still got my 5d mark 2, still work well.
lagging at what?AF is still the best in the market and i guess that is the most important part for me. tilting Touch screen is pretty much the best in the market to date. another very important aspect. 1080 24/60 is pretty much ok. In other reviews and in some TH-cam channels that has been using the M50 has been awesome ie Potato Jet... i guess it still boils down to who's using and what it's used for.
What type of microphone you used for this video,???it’s super clear your voice and no background noise
Good review Chris
Good color correction and composition!
Enjoyed. Solid & classic tcstv style. Thanks!
Quick question: if it came down to a choice between this camera or a Canon SL2 as a beginner camera which would you pick?
So basically this camera was made for people who are trying to get into photography but can't afford all the big baulky professional "sit"!
Probably perfect for me sense I'm still in college.. I just wish we knew more about the lenses and how well it is with studio and model work?
I saw a lot of reviews praising the camera. None of them compared it to sony's same price 6300...
Hey Jordan, is this the episode you shot in HEVC on the GH5? It would be interesting to see a video on your thoughts about how it compares to H.264 and any workflow changes (editing, grading, etc).
This was shot in HLG profile, not HEVC. The dynamic range improvement is nice, but I’m fighting with the colours a bit. Things will get better as I learn what I’m doing!
Jordan @ TCSTV
Ah, I forgot HLG is available as a regular picture profile too -- I must have thought you were shooting HEVC since HLG is the only profile you can use with that format on the GH5. Your grading looks good!
So many GH5 color grades are too red, too magenta. I found this, wondering if it will help: th-cam.com/video/vUrjcAEtATE/w-d-xo.html
Hello,
i am interested in buying the M50 but i am also considering the D5600 from Nikon.
Can someone tell me which is the best choice here?
I don't care about video so much. I just want a good option to go around with my bicycle and take photos!
I know about the battery life and the weight differences. So..
Is hybrid AF important?
Is Digic 8 far superior than expeed 4 or it doesn't matter at all.
Any other important info about this comparison?
Well since you do not care so much for video, I will give you my experience, I had a D5600 for about 2 years, and it is a camera I loved, used and abused. I also had a EOS M6, not the M50 but I love the colors (typhical to cannon) and I can say after all the riews by the pros, for you, I can say you will love the M50 more since it is smaller. If you consider the "system" well Nikon is much better and bigger, but I remember my trip to California on my motorcycle and I had my D5600 and several lenses, and mostly they were NOT use, and instead used my cellphone and it was good enough, the reason was because a big DSLR takes time to secure on a motorcycle (since I did not had a Pelican case custom made for me) and the phone was always in my pocket.
The EOS m6 is nice, it does feel like a toy camera (inly because I love the DSLR bodies) but It takes some great pictures and has items such as many dials that make photography faster.
Now I do not have the M6 since I sold it to my friend, and I am looking to buy a M50 or similar.
ALso consider the M100 / m200 from canon as another option, it is even smaller than M50 and have almost all the features (for pictures). Cheers!
Thanks for this video, i wanted to get it for 4k video, but you saved me the stress and hassle :)
