Canon M50 Mark ii vs Canon R50 - Which is Better?

[@TechThroughTheLens]

⭐Canon R50 →US Price - amzn.to/3XY1kYl →UK Price - amzn.to/4eBYEVW →CA Price - amzn.to/4gJk6dE ⭐Canon M50 Mark II →US Price - amzn.to/4gDW6bE →UK Price - amzn.to/3Xzq1ck →CA Price - amzn.to/47JBkDt

[@SirDavidAsher]

The M50 is beginner friendly. I've been shooting for years but I didn't want to lug around my DSLR rig for on the go daily driven random photography. Picked up the M50 Mark II and I was really impressed with the little guy.

[@FormulaMeme]

In my opinion, the M50 is the way to go for beginners. If you are a beginner and dont know if you will continue and upgrade, get a discounted M50 for about $450 and buy EF lenses and use a speedbooster or adapter. If you know you will shoot seriously for the foreseeable future, either start with the R50 or save up and invest in a higher end R line camera or Sony. The way I see these cameras is as a very advanced mirrorsless line of the Rebels. Not really good enough for high end professionals, but commonly too expensive for beginners.

[@piahelens]

what about the affordable R100, is it good?

[@calebplaysgamesofficial]

ive seen the r50 in person, its actually far more beginner friendly, the m50 id say is more of a if-you-can-do-without-autofocus, because it has virtually no autofocus at 4k and the m50 ultimately was made to be used without autofocus, the m50 is very purpose built, its obvious it was geared torward beginners but also that it has quite good cinematic quality too if you can do manual focus which most beginners cant do.

[@awii.neocities]

@@piahelensNope, the display is a massive drawback.

[@lukecollins7965]

Neither of these are for beginners, use a G7x and go play with the manual settings.

[@averagejackmedia609]

Wouldn't the better thing to do would be to get the r50 for future upgrading, or if it's not for you, there's a better resale value? Can you also buy an adapter to use other lenses on the r series as well?

[@ht8764]

After watching all the comparison videos i bought the m50 mk2 for 600 with canon bag included through canons website. After learning of the r50's shortcomings versus the R8 if and when i get into the RF mount cameras it will be Full frame with more features than the R50. I got the m50 to compliment my pentax k70 and the autofucus on the m50 smashes the pentax to bits. The extra 200 went into another lense or the cage /rig accessories

[@spesh2.091]

Hey, Can i get canon website please?

[@blackLink123]

You forgot to mention that the EF-M has been discontinued and virtually has no upgrade path, if you invest on an R50 and RF lenses you have PLENTY to upgrade to, like the R5 or even the Eos R RP.

[@Al.j.Vasquez]

But it's a pricy future since Canon is against 3rd paery manufacturing. I have the M50, a Sigma 16mm F1.4, a Rokinon 12mm F2 and a 7 Artisans macro lens, i believe only the macro lens is available for RF mount, the other 2 lenses are great but the 1.4 is amazing, so for now, there are much much better options for the M mount, it's sad that the RF mount lacks APSC lenses, specially since Canon can't output enough with decent quality for the price.

[@zonaboba]

[@blackLink123]

i'm staying with m50 cause there are cheaper native lenses and the camera body is almost same... for me i would rather have bigger selection of vide variety of lenses then to have 1 better lens which is 2-3time more expensive

[@ajca69420]

I had the M50m2 for 3 years now, bought prime lenses (16mm and 30mm) and a efm-ef converter thingy. For me it's more than enough for social media stuff and it's more than capable of producing semi-pro looking photos thanks to the prime lenses. Maybe I'd still use this camera for the next 2 years...

[@gang208]

M series is discontinued, so its a orphaned system. On the other hand, you may be able to find bargains when the vendors start dumping their inventories, and users start selling them to move on to R series or another system.

[@JeepTJWheelin]

I have been shooting real estate with the M50 and Laowa 9mm f/2.8 for over a year now. The Laowa is a powerhouse of a lens shooting real estate. It's 13.5mm full frame equivalent, and the 4k is actually usable, although I rarely have clients requesting it. But still nice to know the 4k is there when I need it. However, it's obviously inferior to the R50 and Laowa has the 9mm f/2.8 available in the RF mount. This will be a tremendous upgrade. As you mentioned, the RF lenses are much sharper and overall, just a superior lens. I have my photos and videos edited by a professional, but with the R50's advanced technology of bracketing several photos with an immediate image is very impressive, and will definitely compare this with what comes back from my editor. Additionally, the R50's low light capability is superior despite having the same sensor. Great for photos and getting the most hdr for videos. I have homes with poor natural light and occasionally have to shoot them on cloudy days. This is where the M50 really shows its limitations. However, I recently discovered an amazing custom picture profile that has helped greatly with getting the best hdr, virtually eliminating to greatly reducing blown out windows. This profile has improved the hdr, sharpness and saturation giving these real estate videos that much needed pop. But, while it's a vast improvement for this camera, it doesn't compare to the R50, not even close. This is the best comparison video I've seen on these two very capable cameras. Concise and articulate. 👍📷

@@chloebai1366 I ended up getting the Nisi 9mm f2.8 RF lens, much better than the Laowa 9mm f2.8, I highly recommend the Nisi over the Laowa for the same reason I prefer the Canon R50 over the M50, it's just better in every way.

[@2phase965]

@@alexakratofil Hey Alexa I ended up getting the r50 It was more expensive but I thought that I should go ahead and get the newest that canon had to offer. Since the r50 beats m50 in every category except lenses in my opinion. which in that case it seems to be that they are stopping production on EF lenses and only creating RF. it seemed like the logical purchase as it looks like this and other canon cameras would be getting significant attention. Since this is my first camera I also think It just made more sense for me to get the r50 and grow as the camera grows and gets more attention from canon through lenses and accessories. Overall I love it! The content I'm making looks so much better I'm actually happy putting out the stuff I make now. Id say save up and cop the r50 you wont be disappointed.

Could I ask you a question - I just want a good quality camera to shoot videos of me performing (I'm a musician) in mainly outdoor areas like city streets. I've been told the m50 is perfect, but the enhanced 4K features on the R50 are compelling. What do you think? What would you advise me? I noted that you said the enhanced 4K also has downsides such as taking up more storage etc - but as you also said, 4K is probably the way to go these days, and is the future. For street performances, which would you go for?

What the heck do you mean by saying the M mount has a wider variety of lenses?!?!? Are you on bad drugs?!? The M mount is an orphan with only 6 (or 8?) native lens from Canon, there are over 30 now for the RF mount. The M mount bodies are the absolute worst choice anyone could make today even for a used body! Yes, you can use EF/EF-S glass on the M50, but those same lenses can also be used on the R50. Five years ago the M50 was a good choice, but that was before we found out that Canon has abandoned the M mount. It is completely idiotic to buy an M mount camera today if you want to go mirrorless. I can't believe that you would tell anyone to do that today.
