Canon M50 Video Test (4K and Slow Motion)

[@ThinkMediaTV]

⚡️ QOTD: What do you think about the footage from the Canon M50? LMK! 👇👇👇 Check out other videos in our Canon M50 video series here: bit.ly/CanonM50tips

[@CalebDoesStuff]

Nicholas Kaplan I’ve been thinking about that a lot. I’d go with the SL2 because the M50’s 4K is basically useless. When shooting in 4K it crops the sensor too much and it doesn’t have dual pixel AF when shooting in it too.

[@CalebDoesStuff]

Nicholas Kaplan also, I asked Shawn this same question on Instagram and he responded saying it’s basically preference, so go with what you prefer.

[@Майк-э5к]

Hey Sean! i think this camera is not super hot deal. 900$ is to much for 4k 24fps...

[@JayJay-db4ll]

Little Woodstock. The Canon M6 comes in Creator kit

[@BosePhotography]

I've been strongly considering the M50 but the 4K basically looks useless to me so I think I'll stick with the 200D/SL2. It would be great to see a side by side comparison with the SL2, do you think the M50 is worth paying the extra for?

[@geekepic1906]

Dude that's one of the most awesome cameras.Its like having everything you need in just on camera.I love the 4K quality

[@dizzydisciple]

The onboard audio isn't bad at all!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Matthew Lewis agree. I’m very impressed by the onboard audio. 👊🏼💯

[@captblasto12]

This thing is a beast. Love the stock sound quality and the crisp video. The 4k stuff, as you said, is a slight downside, but unless you need 4k at high fps, its not a deal breaker.

[@jakkampoodi2134]

re watching this after 6 years 😭😭, you changed a lot sean

[@IamYon]

Yoooh I thought I’m the only one here rewatching some old stuff, my M50 is still okay since 2019. I remember watching a lot of Sean’s vids before for vlogging HAHAHA

[@fkingnobody]

​@@IamYon I'm started to use the M50. Waiting to order my first prime nifty fifty. How's your experience so far ?? I'd love to hear

[@TheJoshSpeaks]

Would LOVE to try this camera out, it looks great for vlogging.

[@Craig_450]

How did your vlogs turn out? I’m just about to start mine for my brand. All variety until then but I’m getting gear right now

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Got mine all setup, loving it. Dropping my joint tomorrow ... loving how portable and simple the camera is.

[@LegionsLair]

Just grabbed an M50 to replace an older camera that bit the dust. So far it's pretty damn sweet although I haven't fully explored all of it's features yet. It's got a couple of drawbacks as far as vlogging is concerned though. Even though the flip out screen is a huge improvement over previous models the microphone port is badly positioned in relation to it. Anything plugged in gets in the way of moving it and if you have the screen forward facing it's covered by the mic jack. The SD clot is accessed via the battery door on the bottom so if you have it mounted you have to remove it to get to a card and if it's on a quick release plate you need to take that off to get to it. That's a real drawback if you use any sort of rig. People have complained about the 4K crop factor but it doesn't bother me. I do product reviews so the 4k is a godsend for overhead shots. It allows me to set up a tight focus then zoom and recompose in post without any loss of detail! Overall it's a pretty nice beast, light and easy to use with great quality and color.

[@mrbodo69]

Also, no sound level on the screen while recording. Not a deal breaker, but would have been nice. Maybe in a firmware update?

[@katiegilbert1438]

Inspired by the generosity of this channel. Think Media is doing amazing things with their influence.

[@kawaiime_official]

Just got this camera today.. and im sooooo lovin it! Thanks for sharing tips and ideas. Im excited to share this with my subies. Keep it up. Saying hi from the Philippines 😉

[@AtypicalPaul]

I'm not a 4k fan. I watch 99% of everything on my phone. I see no need for such a high resolution that most people can't tell the difference between. I don't like the crop value nor the low frame rate with 4k. What would be your recommendation for the next step up from this camera?

[@jakewill6861]

I agree, not to mention the "affordable" options that have 4k are literally bare minimum like this m50 ONLY being capable of 24 frames. Would much rather spend the same amount on a good HD vlogging camera

[@AtypicalPaul]

Jake Will yuppers 💯! 😁

[@rainlesure4690]

skyler and friends I would have to agree all of my displays are 2k so I can't even see 3 million of those pixels but I would have to say that 4K is less for the consumer and more for the Creator if I film something in 4k I can zoom in I can crop I can do Dolly shots and vertigo effects then there is the benefit of downscaling if I shoot it in 4k and I downscale it to 1080 it gets so much sharper and I can push my grade a little bit further because when you down scale it to 1080 it just merges all the pixels so what you would have seen at 8 megapixels you're not going to see at 2 my issue with the Canon M50 isn't the crop I don't care about the crop because I like super 16 I don't care about the frame rate because I don't shoot in 4k to make slo-mo videos I shouldn't 4K to make talking head shots or shots of landscapes what gets me is getting rid of dual pixel autofocus in 4k

[@rainlesure4690]

skyler and friends I would have to say go with the M50 the sl2 or the t6s the reason I say stay with the M50 is because as far as features go it is about the best deal in Canon lineup you can get you a $20 little adapter and use some great Canon glass the whole range of Canon class and in 1080p it is a beast because of cannons excellent dual pixel autofocus the Canon SL2 also has the Dual pixel autofocus but it has only nine out of focus points on its main sensor and it's generally just heavier and the Canon t6s it's about the most professional one on this list but it does not have dual pixel autofocus it has really good hybrid autofocus I'm a photographer and videographer and I actually prefer mirrorless cameras because of the smart auto focus capabilities like oh my DSLR if I want to put my subject to the left of my frame and make sure I get good auto focus what I have to do is position them and then change my auto focus point line up the camera and that's just too much fiddling to get a good picture all the time so you can actually set on a mirrorless camera face detect autofocus and it will detect the face so I don't have to set an auto focus point within this got the single point AF where I can move the Box around using the touch screen and I don't have to worry about fumbling around with a joystick

Sean I’ve never had any experience with a dslr or mirrorless camera I just use a Sony camcorder everything on auto but now I’m moving over what would you recommend M50 or SL2 thanks

[@soulsisters4817]

Hi Sean! This video it’s great very informative. We actually have a question, for how long can the Canon M50 record straight with out stopping? We only ask because some cameras only let you record 5 minutes or 10 minutes at a time?

[@randytran8804]

t ajay khutte my friend this will do more than enough.

[@NitroJonScience]

Hi! You want to upload your lectures to KZbin? Well, if all you plan to do is record your lecture, a phone will do it really well. Buy a cheap tripod or mount and it will work great. For advice on a proper camera, well the M50 is overkill but a great device. A simple compact camera like the Powershot series or the Nikon Coolpix A100 which can give you 720p video isn't bad. For nice 1080p shooting if you want to I'd buy a low cost Sony Cybershot RX100! Hope't helps!

[@Lovelyminidonuts]

Wow what's a great teacher to take your time out and do that.

[@stanislawbeh]

I already shooting lectures in physics, so tell some experience. Mobile phone could be good enough (I am using xiaomi readmi 5). Very important is the sound and the best option is lavalier mic (also could be good enough to plug it to mobile phone). Then take some time to read about flat picture profile. But at first think about how does your lectures go - do you write on blackboard, or do you show presentations, do you walk or stand still.

[@modeverything9949]

Lol come on man. Be real. It’s a beginner camera. It’s just ok. Cheap plastic build. Completely lacks in a lot of basic features. For the same price or a little bit more you can get something way better.

[@frequentcollaborators]

Mr Crafty Trucker Such as? I'm looking for something to upgrade to from my 1300D, so literally anything would be an improvement. But what camera would you recommend in the 700-900 range?

[@modeverything9949]

Christian Schoeman 80d you’ll get way more bang for the buck compared to the m50 if 4k is a must you can get a a6300 for under 900. That camera is the powerhouse of apc. The m50 sucks in low light, made of cheap plastic. Lacks any custom function buttons. If looking for canon colors check out eoshd for sony.

[@michaeljdorgan]

What would you recommend instead?

[@modeverything9949]

Michael Dorgan Sony a6300

My wife actually bought me this camera as a birthday gift back in May, it may not be the newest setup out there, but it’s definitely a great starting point for anyone looking to get into Vlogging! Mine came with the Rode Pro Mic, so I definitely recommend it as you can hear the difference when it comes to canceling out some of that background noise! The 120fps works great for me, I do short slow motion clips of target impacts out on the gun range, and it stays very smooth! Luckily I have yet to have a rogue shot hit my camera😅

I have only ever used my gopro hero 5 black so I had no clue. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ I learn a lot from your videos and will continue watching! 4k looks great, I watch youtube on my 4k Tv at home and I can see a huge difference.
