The videos are so informative! There’s also a canon specialist online chat for questions you might have from this video which they can answer! www.canon.co.uk/canonlive/live-chat/?

[@ZiggyBoyz]

Totally agree with you Joris.. everything has their limitation and designed for certain type of users. It's not the equipment that matter but knowing their capabilities and making use of it in the possible ways that could give you the nearest best result is important. I'm using only my mobile to create my videos and thumbnail and I have to say I've done my best to get what I want considering the limitation. You have covered almost all of it in this video Joris. Keep flowing it Bro! 👊😎

[@ClaraFrancken]

cheap? here in brazil the m50 has the value of a car =/

[@captureallen8632]

I'm happy to see someone actually using the kit lens. So many photographers do reviews on budget cameras w/o the kit lens, they'll put an L-series lens on it. Thank you.

[@JorisHermans]

Thanks! Much appreciated! 🔥👊🏻

[@charliejg]

Thanks for this video. I've been looking at lots of videos about the M50 and trying to decide if it's going to work. I like shooting stills best, but am starting to do video as well. It's the quality of the stills that I wanted to be sure about. You and others basically confirmed my thoughts about the glass being the most important factor. I thought that 24 megapixel sensor should be fine. So, maybe the best thing is to buy the body used and get good glass? The only other consideration is the new version of the M50 that I've been hearing about. Decisions, decisions!! :-)

[@paolajenice]

I recently purchased the canon m50 and I was so close to returning it because I just could NOT get the settings right!! Especially for the blurred background! Thank you so much!! You did great in this video

[@JorisHermans]

Glad I could help!

[@jeffersondizon1760]

Great video. It was nice that you focused on what the kit lens can bring to the table. Together with the 22mm pancake lens, the m50 can be a good small travel camera kit.

[@JorisHermans]

Yep, totally agree! I’m curious to see what they’ll do with the Mark 2! 😬😊

[@jamiljoo9915]

I totally agree, adding a speed booster with a prime lense will take your portrait photography to another level, discovered that through youtube, still waiting for that to happen 😂😂

[@JorisHermans]

And thanks for watching, Jamil! 🔥👊🏻

Does the m50 15 -45 kit lens have the "power off self retracting " feature?

Hello, i just received my canon m50 mark 2 today. I want to buy a card, is 128gb u3 working good with m50?

[@nepsoulgaming4368]

Is it a good buy in 2021 for beginners?

[@aalamite]

Going to buy m50 next month!

Hey, good choice! Maybe check what the rumours say about the Canon M50 Mark II. If I remember correctly it might come in a few months. Thanks for watching! 🙏

Do you turn on Highlight Tone Priority?

[@kyosenofficial]

Hey Joris, I know it's not your focus, but would you be able to do a video with this camera+kit lens (15-45mm) doing real estate photos? If not no worries. Thanks for your content. 🙏

[@JorisHermans]

I'm moving to a new apartment so maybe I could do something like that 🤔

[@bedrikara592]

why you can't blure the background with full frame without zooming I didn't understand, do we have zoom all the time to blure little bit the background then?

[@tharinduwickramanayake7349]

Hi.. I highly appreciat your stuff and they are so cool so much things to learn from them. I have canon M50 and its kit lens only so I'm thinking to buy 50mm 1.8. Normally when I shoot lowlights things with the kit lens it shows so much noise so even with the 50mm also it will happen the same or it will give me nice crispy videos? Please help me 🙏🙏

[@JorisHermans]

Yes, same problem. It’s the M50 sensor.

I just recently purchased a M50. Is there a anamorphic lens attachment you would recommend? Something that wouldn’t break the bank.

Can't help you with that question cause I have no idea 😊🤷🏻‍♂️

An ND filter for the sunnytimes might help a lot

Hi, I'm new to Photography. Is the M50 good in 2020 and should i buy it for landscape photos. And i like to photograph plants too. Is it a good buy?

[@JorisHermans]

Maybe wait for the Canon M50 Mark II... according to rumors it’ll be announced soon.

[@villagefreakbyramsidiwan255]

I am in India Your video so fantastic but Subscribers sooo sooo below 15k All the best for your 100k noon

[@abmalik_9770]

so i am gonna buy a m50 soon….saving up for it…but the thing is i am scared if the quality is the same as an iphone 12. i want to use it for both photo and video..please help me and let me know if u recommend me to buy an m50 or it’s better to just shoot on an iphone 12?

[@JorisHermans]

It really depends on what you want to create. Content creation is definitely possible on an iphone but if you want to learn real filmmaking, so, lenses, camera settings, apertures, focal lengths, color profiles, color grading, ... you can only do that with a "real" camera.

[@jugularmusic]

The video footage that you shot, for example, at 3:09 looks VERY film-like and to my eyes, looks like it could have been taken from a studio movie. Is this particular footage from the Canon M50 OR is it the Canon M50 Mark II? I only ask because the title says M50 BUT the link in the description says Mark II. So, this was shot with your Canon M50, the kit lens that comes with it, post-production, AND your talent & knowledge? Thanks in advance!

[@JorisHermans]

Yes, it was the original M50, not Mark 2.

[@jugularmusic]

@@JorisHermans Awesome! Thank you for the response! Wonderful work and I'm so inspired by your channel!!

[@jyexe525]

Hello ! This m50 can be good to begin in fashion photography ? Black and white pic ...

[@JorisHermans]

Yes! 💯

[@jyexe525]

Cool thank you. And the lens kit 15-45 and 55-200 is enough to begin ?

[@JorisHermans]

@@jyexe525 That sounds like the perfect beginner kit! 💯 💥

Can i used canon M50 for wedding photography??

[@JorisHermans]

I don’t see why not.

[@jerickrenzeonong9076]

M50 is my dream camera planning to buy this December it is worth it to buy the Canon m50? Or do you have some suggestions to buy i like to cinematic scene and photography

[@JorisHermans]

The Canon M50 Mark II should arrive around December. Maybe that's a beter option.

[@jerickrenzeonong9076]

Thankyou so much

[@ChicaneMedia]

Does most of the photo's beauty come from the post processing? Compared to your pictures mine are mediocre even using the right iso, shutter and aperture.

[@JorisHermans]

The settings are just part of it. You also have to learn to predict what light does, backgrounds, composition. And then post processing is the cherry on top.

[@davidnorthrop3744]

should have gone with a longer lens75-300 would give you a blurry background with bokeh at a lower f stop and around 1/80 or higher. you can only get this if you use manual mode.

[@JorisHermans]

Uhm, sure, but the point was to test the kit lens. Of course there are dozens of lenses that would do better... Question is: does everyone NEED those? Again, not the point of the video...

[@dinagalall]

I am getting a full frame soon and i don;t want to spend a lot of money. Any suggestions?

[@JorisHermans]

What do you like to shoot? Portraits, landscapes, street,... ?

[@dinagalall]

@@JorisHermans a little bit of everything but i guess mainly portraits.

[@JorisHermans]

One of my favorite portrait lenses is the Canon 85mm 1.8...!

[@shateyatresvant6883]

Are the pics edited or it’s supposed to look like this when I take it on my camera?

[@JorisHermans]

These are edited Raw files.

[@shateyatresvant6883]

I just bought my camera and I’m clueless. What program what you recommend to edit ? & thanks for responding! 🙏🏾

[@JorisHermans]

Shateya Tresvant i recommend to start shooting in standard jpg files. No need to edit.

Had to sell my kidney for this camera and lens how come this homie says "Budget Camera"

You can get a kidney on every street corner so they sure can't be THAT expensive... 🤔😅

you didnt explain how to set the view finder on the m50?

[@tractorawesome1765]

M50 is full frame camera or not...

[@JorisHermans]

APS-C 😊👊🏻

[@HiteshKumar-nx5wc]

Nice Sir. 😊😊🥰 Sir, Which lens can I attach to canon m50 adapter to get better quality. I create videos on 28 to 32 focal length with good & enough lightiing. I create videos teaching on whiteboard. But I don't get good video quality even after good & sufficient lighting. Plz suggest me some better lens. I have canon EOS mount adapter that comes with canon M50.

[@JorisHermans]

Hey Hitesh! What exactly is the problem when you say “not good enough quality”?

[@HiteshKumar-nx5wc]

@@JorisHermans Sir there is not enough brightness even with sufficient lights placed well. If words written on the whiteboard look good, then i dont. And if I increase ISO to make myself look good, then words begins to lose crispiness & sharpess.

[@JorisHermans]

Hitesh Kumar it seems like you have to try to light the board separatly. Start by lighting yourself properly first and once that’s done, add light on the board. Now, if there’s too much light on the board when you’re lit properly, you’re going to have to find a way to block some light to keep it from hitting the white board.

[@HiteshKumar-nx5wc]

@@JorisHermans Ok Thank you so much Sir. May you make a lot of progress and touch great heights.!! 😊😊🥰 But sir If don't get better quality even after doing what you have suggested, then what lens I should buy for Canon M50 ? I'll try doing as you say. Thank you so much Sir.

[@JorisHermans]

It’s definitely not a lens problem but a lighting problem. It’s the white board that makes it difficult because it reflects a lot of light. And I don’t know it’s the case but if you have a darker skin color, that makes it even more difficult to get the right exposure. Definitely experiment with lighting first.
