[@danielcristeapro]

It's pretty sweet, however I already have the SL2 with the 10-18 which is a great camera. Since the 4K with AF is useless and there's also a crop on it, there isn't much to benefit from this camera. Also the lenses are just low end oriented atm. Probably they'll expand if the sales go up. Dope content, keep up the good work!

[@Swing4TheRing]

I wish it could pump out 1080p 120fps... leaning towards the Sony a6300 or a7III.

Which is the best camera to start shooting videos in my room for KZbin? Canon M50 markii or Sony Zv-E10 ?

[@135weston]

@@i890ola I’ve heard the m50 is the best camera to shoot videos with and you can get batteries on Amazon.

[@i890ola]

@@135weston but what about the recording limit?

[@leahcim7307]

@@i890ola recording limit isn't really a big deal, that just means it splits it into another file to keep going it doesn't stop recording all together. All sony cameras have been sold out for a while and won't come back until Sony can keep up with ps5 sales using their processors. So getting a refurbished M50 mark ii is the best atm.

[@BarnabasLawson]

Thanks Sean This camera looks great for me 1080 60fps autofocus. Only 24p at 4K is a bit gimmicky. It’s like they only added it to get the 4k headline....

[@LincolnintheAdirondacks]

That's exactly what they did. The crop is also ridiculous, as is the fact that DP AF doesn't work in 4k. Like, why?!

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Sean would you choose this camera over the g7 x mark ii? Leaning towards this because of the external mic. Also heard the g7x mark ii has about a 16minute video file limit shooting at 1080p. Does the m50 have this same video file limit? Thanks in advance and keep up the great videos! 👍👍👍

[@ThatsEunice]

I feel you say that about every camera. You also said about Canon SL2. Which is better?

[@ThinkMediaTV]

SL2 - $649 M50 - $899 Both are amazing! The m50 has a very better features than the SL2 -- but the SL2 is still the best "budget" option in my opinion... it's $250 cheaper. But You can't go wrong with either ... they are both solid! 👊⚡💯

[@SirSeabass]

Hey Sean. Great video as always. I bought the M50 for interview style videos where it’s stationary on a tripod. Unfortunately the light is a little low in the room I use for that and I have to raise iso to about 1000 to get proper exposure. Do you have a lens suggestion for such use? Something faster like the Rikonon for M series you reviewed earlier with an f stop of 2? Distance in that room is an issue as well I have to zoom all the way out to 15 to get two people in the shot. Thanks man.

Sebastian Smith, I just been out and purchased the Canon M50 and have just put it up against my Canon G7x Mk1 which is 100% better then this Canon M50, Even in lowish light the M50 video is grainy and my G7x Mk1 is clear and crisp, This video just cost me $900 usd down the chute, Hoping i can return it in the morning ! Save your business money or test it yourself before buying

[@SirSeabass]

Kev-In-Thailand I haven't purchased it yet, so this is good to know. I didn't buy it because I wanted to wait and see what the new Black Magic Pocket could do. My business is video focused so I'm leaning towards getting that right now anyway.

The Canon M50 is more money than the Canon SL2....

[@bowdymisener]

Kyle2000 it’s also more than the T7i which I believe is a better camera

[@jordanchase8059]

The M50 also has focus peaking and an EVF. I have an SL2 and the optical viewfinder is crap. I almost never use it. The one real advantage the SL2 has over the M50 is the battery life, which is significantly better.

[@BrothaWithACamera]

I still think if you consider value the SL2 is still perhaps the best camera out. I'm definitely loving it and the main flaw is the lack of substantial points of auto focus, however it hasn't hindered my vids or pictures in any way.

[@jordanchase8059]

Oh no doubt. The SL2 is a steal for the price and I love using it. I bought an LCD viewfinder for mine to get around the lack of a EVF.

[@cesarebeccaria7641]

The SL2 is improved over the SL1, which was already a great value and amazing work of miniaturization. HOWEVER, if you want to shoot video with an eye level viewfinder without adding a Hoodman adapter each time, the M50 is the answer. Also, if you have some very fast lenses (50/1.2, for example), Canon's lax QC can make those lenses unusable without either AF Micro Adjust OR a mirrorless camera.

Hi Sean, just wanted to say another thanks for all the great content. Just thought I'd let you know i just got my Canon M50 today after a ton of research. A bit of a learning curve jumping from an iPhone, but the latest videos from Omar have helped a lot. I was able to pick up a brand new M50 kit with both a EF-M15-45mm and a EF-M22 lens and a free case for £619 here in the UK. That's a little over $800. I'd have liked the Sony A6400 but a bit over my budget with lens at around £899 with a 16-50mm lens that's nearly $1200. Thanks again.
