Hi man thanks for this great video.. Does this camera take an extra microphone ???

[@cameralabs]

@@Andyhm113 sadly not, the cheapest EOS M with a mic input is the M50.

[@piQmi]

Thanks for your video! One question, why didn't you shoot at 1080p 60fps? Does the camera heat up a lot? At 1080p 60fps?

[@supernewlifesupernewgoals9464]

Suggest a 17 hour battery small budget friendly Cam and Battery ? Thanks

[@DiCasaFilm]

Does the supplied AC charger make it possible to plug this camera into wall power, so you don't need the battery?

[@pewpew2897]

Great camera I just bought it yesterday. If you don’t want a big and heavy camera and you’re just switching from phone to camera, this is the best budget entry level camera. Later you buy a 22mm lens for street photography.

[@flipincan]

Do you think this camera will be an upgrade to my iPhone 12 Pro photo quality wise?

[@VijitChandna]

@@flipincan if you take your time to learn to use this camera, yes you will probably be able to get beautiful images, tho in terms of dynamic range the iPhone will be ahead but that's not everything.

[@kiranrathod7371]

Hey for potrait which lens is best Is it the kit lens good for potrait Or should we buy other lens

[@pewpew2897]

@@flipincan I don’t have iphone 12, I upgraded from iphone 6 camera to canon M200. I’m pretty sure that iphone 12 has a great camera and i takes decent photos but if you really want to step into professional photography then canon M200 is a good beginner camera. Picture/video quality is great. I’d suggest you to watch some comparisons on KZbin then you’ll fully understand the difference.

[@vj_great551]

This camera is awesome and the quality of images u get out of this blows away all smartphones

[@ken_cham]

Gordon with the best reviews as always. I have been watching him since I bought my first DSLR Nikon D3000 about 10 -11 years ago. Was just a kid back then trying to buy my first DSLR. Now I'm a grown man looking for a simple camera to take photos of my beautiful daughter, and still looking for Gordon for the best reviews. Cheers Gordon!

[@CamboSpace]

Just bought it one today, and could feel a bit happier after watching your review.

[@j4nv]

NO Mic input and NO USB charging on a 2019 interchangeable lens camera. Canon still doesn’t see the relationship between crippling cameras and declining sales.

[@antimon40]

M200 can be charged via USB

[@j4nv]

Sebastian Nugroho 3:30 it can’t be charged over USB...

[@JohnTSteinbeck]

[@GungKrisna12]

Well, most entry-level camera has no mic input, so...

[@okaro6595]

This is a simple entry level camera for people who do not use external mics. There is not even a flash shoe. There is the M50 for those who need such things. Different cameras for different users. I bet 90% of people who buy this will not buy any additional lenses.

[@neilgutteridge6405]

Its a great little camera and not just limited to beginners.I've used many cameras including full frame Nikon Dslr's but i still enjoy using the M200.It produces great images,has plenty of useful features for more serious photography and can be adapted to use the full range of Canon ef and ef-s lenses.I've never found the operation of the camera regarding menus etc a problem like some say,its one of the easiest cameras to use out there regardless of whether you are used to traditional mode dials and buttons.The only problem(not really a problem) ive had with mine is that if you leave it on......i tend to leave mine on the five minute setting before it switches off.......if you carry it on a neck strap the settings can change as you walk along and the camera moves against your chest as the touch screen is so sensitive.This is easily solved though by putting the screen in the fully upright position so it doesnt contact your body as you walk about. Overalll its a great little camera and not one just limited to those upgrading from smartphones,it is a very capable machine.....very enjoyable piece of kit to use.

2022 and this is the best review I saw for the Canon M200! Thinking of buying my first camera just for hobby and this one seems to be the best choice for budget and weight. I don't pretend to carry a bag with it, so the strap will be my best friend most of the time. Also, your video showed all the functionalities I was searching for, thanks!

[@cameralabs]

You're welcome!

[@danielet5973]

Which lens is better for portraits? For this m200 I mean

[@ThiagoMatuo]

@@danielet5973 I'm using the Canon 50mm f/1.8 with MEIKE adapter. The lens is perfect for Portraits in a low budget and the size is not a problem. I went to the beach with my new M200 + Canon 50mm and it was the perfect combination for the entire trip. Also the MEIKE adapter works perfectly! You can buy it instead of the original adapter and it will work with all lens. I already tried with: Yongnuo 50mm, Canon 75-300mm, Yongnuo 100mm f/2.0, Canon 50mm f/1.8 and Canon 50mm f/1.4.

Thanks, good luck with your photography!

[@frankcanha]

Excellent review. Exactly, the review I was searching for and finally found. Especially the end with regard to alternative older models. Cheers!

[@frankcanha]

Ended up purchasing the Sony ZV-1 for my fiancé. When I can, I will move up to the ZV-E10, with a 15mm minimum focus length, but with good glass. The one offered by Sony as a kit is not Zeis glass and is not as sharp as the ZV-1.

[@dzonyLM]

I got m100 couple weeks ago for 130€ with kit lens. I love it! The best camera for hiking - but 2 batteries are needed compared to my previous 5d ii.

[@Trader-CL]

Great detailed review! Have been trying to look for the smallest and lightest interchangeable mirrorless. I don't care about vlogging and sick of videos only talking about vlogs. This is great! Coupling this with a Sigma 16mm F1.4, the 30mm F1.4 or the Canon 32mm F1.4, this becomes a little beast - for a small price! Thank you!

[@cameralabs]

You're welcome - check out my Sigma lenses for EOS M video too!

[@savitae3447]

Totally agree with you Leon. Every review video talks only about vlogging. It’s like photography is no longer a thing. I haven’t taken a single video using my camera in my life.

[@1andonlyson]

This is the review I've been looking for! Thank you, this was a huge help! Keep up the good work👌🏾😊

[@cameralabs]

You're welcome!

[@Astrolavista]

The thing I like the most about the M200 is the knock on effect it's had on M100 prices. You can get the M100 with kit lens for £329, or with two lenses for £399!

[@cameralabs]

And that's a great deal

[@okaro6595]

The best thing this adds is the AWB-W white balance. This means the automatic white balance produces neutral colors even in artificial light. M50 has also it.

[@owenchuarbx]

As a former EOS 650D owner. This is a good startover as I feel that getting back the same camera is a burden and I need a smaller equivalent of the EOS xxxD subline. I may consider this or a successor in the near future

[@Beatprisoner]

Excellent review! This was a real Pro- review and not just an enumeration of features like a lot of others do only to tell the viewer how great and excellent this camera is. I was really surprised about all the disadvanteges of the 4K mode. For me this mode is not only "less usable" than other cameras but nearly "unusable" (but you also said something similiar later). It's a pity, really. Btw.: just ordered your book. :-)

[@Jeilds]

Wow you need to teach me how to not be afraid of filming myself in public 😂

[@alanyii]

It will take some practice to film yourself and overcome the fear through each takes.

[@rozzgrey801]

Great review, I'm a noob looking for a decent budget camera and this made it easy for me to understand what this can actually do visually without too much technobabble, and I live in Brighton, so I can see exactly how good it will represent things!

[@cameralabs]

Bonus Brighton comparisons!

[@TangibleReads]

If filming in high light, it was extremely bright. Also audio has static u can't get rid of or mute due to no microphone port

[@GapBahnDirk]

It seems like a good product. I do like the 200D that you showed, especially as it takes EF/EF-S lenses without an adaptor.

[@cameralabs]

Yes, it's still a really compelling option for the money...

[@cooloox]

Another great review from Gordon. You know a reviewer is good when you watch his reviews of cameras you're not even interested in LOL. The M200 does look like a great little camera for someone on a tight budget.

[@matthiasstaber9216]

It has clean HDMI which makes it superior for streamers over the M100 and M50.

[@AgnostosGnostos]

Since 2002 has introduced only 8 EF-M lenses. Just three of them are prime and only one is really bright. Canon isn't really enthusiastic with EOS-M cameras and lenses but still support them. Canon is focused in RF mount. In less than two years Canon has introduced 8 RF-mount lenses and much more are coming soon. Panasonic and Olympus micro 4/3 mount was introduced in in 2008, Sony e-mount in 2010, Samsung NX mount in 2010, Nikon 1-mount in 2011, Pentax Q mount in 2011 and Canon EF-M mount was introduced in 2012. Canon was very hesitant and the last to join the mirrorless technology. I don't see a bright future of EF-M cameras and lenses. Canon is focused more in the new RF mount. Probably in a few years the EF-M mount will have the destiny of NX mount, 1-mount and Q mount. It would be more wise for Canon to introduce APS-C RF mount cameras like Nikon with Z mount.

[@AgnostosGnostos]

PY Roman Indeed nearly all RF mount lens are very expensive but with exceptional optical quality. M mount cameras and lenses have much lower prices and inferior optical quality.

[@WorshipPianoAcademy]

Great video! I'm about to buy this one at Walmart today as it's on sale. I had 1 questions though... At 05:10 - Why does your Max. rec time decrease as the video quality increases? I thought I read that the clip duration on the M200 was 30 min?

[@sporkdog2474]

4k takes up a crap ton of storage and energy. The rec time doesn't really depend on the camera more then how it depends on its card and battery

[@TopEvt]

NO Mic input and NO USB charging in 2019.. No thank you, I will buy a flagship phone for that price for my vlogging.

[@TerusEnak]

agreed

[@mciarlillo1309]

Not to mention, nearly every flagship phone is way more than $500.00-$550.00 (currently price USD of the M200).

[@ZeldagigafanMatthew]

Say goodbye to the flexibility then.

[@AlexLancashirePersonalView]

Why do they not make the main "take" button switch between photo and video when you select these modes, surely that would remove the problem with finding the record button if you are not looking at he back of the camera, also with the remote pug in.

[@iandetenma]

It is possible by custom configuration

[@jhalscott]

Not too bad. I’m not sure this is a better option than my M50, but for a super small mirrorless I can see this doing ok.

[@patrickfitzgerald2861]

You will get TWICE the amount of detail in 1080p by shooting at 50 or 60fps with the M200 - 24, 25 and 30p are really mushy. The missing mic jack is no big deal. Buy a stand alone Zoom H1n mic if you need better sound, and mount it on a little bracket along with the camera. The internal mic preamps on all the M series cameras are not very good. Go with the Zoom, or something similar, if you want decent audio. If you know how to use it, this is a decent video camera, and it can also take excellent photographs with the right lens!

[@ETLee-wq1uo]

This review definitely tipped the scales for me to buy an M200 to start off. Aiming to get the EF-M 32mm lens next. Thank you for the review

I kindly request information on two aspects of this camera: 1. Can the camera's angle be displayed on the screen, indicating whether it is parallel to the ground? If there is a visual indicator, such as a bar or meter (leveller), to determine the camera's alignment. 2. The frame rate the videos are recorded is constant or variable? Thank you in anticipation.

[@cameralabs]

Videos on all these cameras are always constant frame rate. it's only some phones / tablets which do variable frame rates.

[@cameralabs]

Yep, I'm in Brighton! You're right about the positioning, although I would always go for an M50 above this model, especially now. Note there are rumours of a new M50 in the future, so bear that in mind if you're looking to buy. The M200 and M50 are similar quality though, so they offer a step up in quality and especially autofocus over the G7X line, but they're obviously bigger.

[@TheBarePantryShow]

@@cameralabs Thank you so very much for the quick response. My kids are out the door right now to pick up a 2nd G7x Mark ll as they are on sale for $499.00 U.S. Today is Prime Day and the local stores are competing with Amazon. I use the M50 for my cooking shows and the G7x when I'm out doing activities. The one I have now it growing old and reacting a bit more slowly so I was starting to get nervous. I showed my daughter your video and she moaned because she misses Brighton. She was busking at our beach here in California when an English producer came by and chose her to work with. He lives in Brighton so she went there several times last year to work on a project. They are all in limbo right now due to Covid. She misses her team and they miss her.

Nice video again Gordon. Pardon my ignorance on this but what are the benefits of a mechanical shutter over an electronic shutter? I would have thought that using a purely electronic shutter would simply trash anything mechanical, but I have a really strong feeling that I am going to be "educated" - I am probably missing something obvious but I am not quite sure what. Amazingly compact camera until you actually put an half decent lens on it then you may as well try and fit a DSLR in your pocket.

[@cameralabs]

Electronic shutters are silent and vibration-free, which is good, but a slow readout means there's skewing if the camera or subject are moving.

[@richardgraham65]

@@cameralabs Thanks for the reply Gordon - Is that what is called "Rolling Shutter?" What I cannot understand is why you would get "Rolling Shutter" on an electronic shutter firing at 16000'ths of a second and not on a mechanical one at 1000 th????

So filming 4K the longest I can get is a 7 minute video? I was going to purchase on Amazon but some reviews say the camera overheats and shuts off after a few minutes of filming in 4K?

Hi, Thanks for the great review and preview photos, you are one of those who convinced me to purchase this product, but sorry, just another piece of information, but do you think that in manual mode, with ISO set, you can't change the exposure of the camera? If instead I set ISO Auto, then the exposure can be changed manually. Is this thing normal? A thousand thanks!

[@cameralabs]

In Manual movie mode, you should be able to set the aperture and shutter yourself, but set the ISO to a manual value or to auto where it will attempt to auto-expose. Some camera also let you apply + or - compensation with Auto ISO, but I can't remember if the M200 allows this.

[@superfirefly31]

At the end you compared it to other cameras. With the SL2 mentioned how do you think it compares to the EOS Rebel T7? I’m a designer that’s kinda new it photography but think it’d be something cool to explore.

Would you guys decide for the M200 or the 250D? Main points to decide are: -quality of photos/videos(only if hdmi plugged in) -live streaming -overheating -kite lense (bokeh effect)

[@cameralabs]

If it were M50 vs 250D, I'd say the M50 has the edge, but for M200 vs 250D, get the 250D as it's better-featured. Plus you can buy a cheap 50mm f1.8 if you want really shallow depth of field effects,

[@donlabs]

@@cameralabs So you say if I would compare the 250D and the M50 (not mk2), you would recommend the M50? Because I'm gonna buy one of those 3 within the next days and I watched many Videos now - especially yours! Right now my favourite is the M50 as you recommended. Can you maybe just give me 1-2 reasons why you would decide for the M50 here? Just to convince myself :D I think you know such struggles

Hi! Can you review/compare this with the Fujifilm X-T100. Any suggestions which one to prefer between Canon M200 and Fujifilm XT-100..?? For casual photography and videography..

[@TheSeanBampton]

That OIS is horrible on your test at 8:02. A ton of micro-jitters and it's really not a feature I would be advertising if I were Canon.

I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE 3 CAMERA OF CANON 1, G7X MARK 3 2, M200 3, M50 Mostly, the canon G7x mark 3 says that the video Quality & The Audio Quality is better than the M50.. for vlogging purpose.. and also handy camera.. And also 4k provided by the camera in this range... I needed to know about the heating issues of the camera while shooting 4k resolution..

[@cameralabs]

none of those can do great 4k.

I'm looking to explore photography and am trying to decide between a DSLR such as the Rebel T7 or a mirrorless. Besides the mirrorless being more portable, what other advantages or disadvantages does it have compare with a DSLR? Is one more versatile than the other? I don't do vlogging and am primarily interested in travel photography/landscapes, street scenery, maybe action photos like outdoor activities and live music. Thanks!

Im not a camera guy or a vlogger, i just love taking photos specially when travelling.. In terms of photo quality and auto focus which is better m200 or g7x mii? Thanks

[@cameralabs]

Good question. I'd say when using the kit zoom with the M200, they'd be quite similar in quality. The benefit of the M200 is the chance to swap lenses, vs the smaller body but fixed lens on the G7X.

[@Error42_]

There's still no rubber grip on the front which is a shame. The M100 isn't comfortable to hold, always feels like it will slip out of your hand. Just a bit of rubber like on the G7X is all it would have taken. I still find it a good camera for videoing over a bench though and for the price it's good. The touch focus controls are very useful and I couldn't do without them and that's coming from someone who doesn't particularly like touch screen operated devices.

[@Sxitz]

I really like this camera and wanna pull the trigger on one off the used market, but the overheating is making me hesitant, what do you think?

[@cameralabs]

I think if overheating is an issue for you, get something else

[@Sxitz]

@@cameralabs Yeah, I acutally just picked up my first camera, the Canon M50! @cameralabs

[@TheSalonLife]

Hello Gordon! Great channel! Subscribed! I'm totally new to cameras, I use iphone for my videos but I would like to upgrade to something a little better. Would Canon M200 be good for the work I do? I mainly do nail videos and need a lot of close up work. Would the lens that comes with the camera work? PS. Enjoy your coffee :))

[@cameralabs]

Thanks! The M200 is good, but the M50 will give you more flexibility. How close are your close ups, what are the subject sizes and distances?

[@TheSalonLife]

@@cameralabs Thank you so much! If you could take a quick peek at my channel I would be very grateful! PS. The distance between my phone now and the subject now is about 40 cm. Also, would autofocus work when shooting in 4K (using Canon M50)? Thank you so much!!

[@joyjoanne23]

Hi! I just bought this camera and love it so far except I haven’t been able to figure out how to take pictures as I’m taking a video. Is there a way to do that?

[@cameralabs]

Hmmm, I'm not sure if you can. Have you tried pressing the shutter button as you're filming, or does that stop the video? Either way, you could always grab stills from the video footage, albeit at lowish resolution.

[@KeithoHD_]

Is there a way to set manual focus with a click of a button like on lumix cameras ?

[@zainsyed3177]

Excuse me sir I'd like to ask you one important question .. That is I'd like to purchase this camera which is eos m200 canon.. I'd like to know that can I put my 50 mm yougnou lens on it? Thanks in advance

[@tharalledo4766]

nikon d3500 or canon eos m200???? for both photos and videos? pls help me

[@sn1ck3rs93]

Does this camera have the manual zoom and focus on the lens? (I’m more worried about there not being manual focus on the lens)

[@mb-watches]

Thanks Gordon, so it’s an m100 software update which adds 4K. Still 1080 60fps is 10 minutes, I hoped this was solved as the m100 tempt to overheat after shooting a while in 60fps. Having the m100, not going for the update as it’s my 2nd camera, thanks for the great review 🙏🏻👍🏻

[@JeepTJWheelin]

Would you recommend this for real estate photography and videography? Also, can you use an external mic? I plan on using a Rode.

[@cameralabs]

No mic input, didn't I mention that in the video?

[@anastasisstratos5633]

Hi Gordon. Nice job and thanks for the review! I found a new M200 for about 399€. Do you think it's worth it for the price? thx

[@cameralabs]

With a lens yes, without, less so. Remember the EOS M series almost certainly won't be getting any new EF-M lenses, although you can still adapt EF

[@heklik]

As usual Thanks for a great review.👍😊

[@alestaro8711]

Hi, awesome video! I was thinking on purchasing the m200. I mostly want the camera to take pictures of my toddler. She is 2yrs old and moves a lot, so my cellphone fails to get good pictures. Do you think that the m200 would do a good job? I know that it is a different camera but I was also considering the g5 mark ii. What do you think? The only two important things for me are: a)toddler pictures, not videos and b)indoor/low light conditions. Many thanks!

[@cameralabs]

I'd go for the M200 or ideally the M50

[@alestaro8711]

Hey Mr. Gordan good morning by the way ! I wanted to ask you what is a good choice for indoor and outdoor vlogging camera that I should with cause I have been looking everywhere for mics attach and good 4k quality?

[@cameralabs]

Go for the DJI Pocket 3

[@mbismbismb]

What i like about canon is their blackout free when u are shooting even with m200 , the sony screen just blinks when shooting and make me dizzy to look at the screen

[@joeframo3347]

Hey I really like your platform thank you for sharing but you look good in 4k I didn't see any blur or anything I think it work good in 4k for you I don't know is the crop factor was slightly different but it still look good are you sure did thank you for sharing this video

[@ChrisGill]

Does the display screen stay on while connected to HDMI?

[@BrendanMacWade]

Excellent review, Gordon. You are among the very best camera reviewers out there! I am a big fan of the Canon EF-M cameras. I have the M6 Mk II and it is the best camera I have owned since the old Contax G2 rangefinder. I have been so tempted to get the M200 since it can be used as a camera for KZbin and Zoom and a whole lot of other video streaming apps. But it doesn't have a microphone input jack nor a native video output via USB C (you can use the Canon EOS webcam utility to unlock this feature for Mac or Windows). So this had made me re-think what I really want, a travel mirrorless camera or a better webcam? I think I want the latter, and there are a bunch of USB-C powered webcams coming from companies like Obsbot.

[@jaaygaan8404]

I have two questions if u can help me since you have this camera in hand. When in video mode, live view on and not recording, can you snap a photo by pressing the shutter button? 2. Can you have 4k out on hdmi connected to a tv and see the live videos screen on the TV while not recording, press shutter can or cannot snap a photo? In sony, u cannot snap a photo while in video mode. Thanks

[@cameralabs]

Sorry, I haven't seen the camera since I reviewed it a long time ago!

[@zavietniy5348]

Thank you very much for your review. A couple questions if I may. In terms of pure image/video quality, does this camera offers same quality as the M50? Do you think is there a chance Canon could add 1080p/24fps on a later firmware update?, Regards 🙂

[@cameralabs]

The sensors and processors are essentially the same, so the 1080p video and photo quality is pretty much the same. I've not checked the 24p updates recently, so don't know if the M200 has it or not, but if it doesn't yet, it's unlikely to now.

[@zavietniy5348]

how's the video quality in comparison with m50 ?
