Canon M50 Mark II VS M50 (The Good, The Bad, The Ugly)

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Question of the Day ⚡ Which camera would you buy between the Canon M50 and Mark II? Let me know! 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 **** Check out the Canon EOS M50 Mark II Mirrorless Digital Camera ➡️ amzn.to/36fU1iK

[@Kinghuska]

Mark II...obviously i wanted to buy the m50 but bcoz i still did not bought it yet will definately go for mark II was waiting for this review thanks guys..🔥🔥

[@SapphireBlueTravelExplores]

Probably the mark 2

[@MehulShaRma]

I think Cannon should made it more reliable for users, just my opinion

[@Moosethemountaineer]

Obviously the mark II... It's just so disappointing that they added literally nothing that couldn't have been added through a firmware update. Newer sensor, better screen, better evf, dp autofocus in 120p mode or 4k, clog... Anything that would have actually warranted a "Mark II"

[@ToroMateo]

I'm glad I got the M50 and was able to crank a few videos before this one came out, as I was also planning on waiting. There's nothing really new here that couldn't be added to the MK1 with a firmware update

[@therealyou5824]

When I first started my channel, I was skeptical of how difficult it was to continuously push out content Every. Single. Week. I had sleepless nights, the money I spent on filming equipment seemed like a waste, and I overall had no motivation to grow this channel... but I kept focused. Not only did I listen to the feedback, I learnt from my mistakes, focused on a niche and, most importantly, stayed consistent. Now... my channel is thriving more than I ever expected. If I can do it, you can too! ☺️

For anyone new to the M50 (me), the MKII is worth it for the clean HDMI out. But, if Canon is reading this and/or cares... UPDATE. THE ORIGINAL. M50's. FIRMWARE. so it can do clean HDMI. A firmware update can EASILY fix that limitation of the M50. You owe it to all the people who bought the original. PLEASE UPDATE THE FIRMWARE. Thankyouuuu.

[@DavidClason]

The only reason it sounds like to buy the mark ii is if you're looking at buying strictly brand new and have the money. Everything else (upgrading, buying cheap, etc) sounds like it's better just to stick to the mark i

[@timburmaster4888]

I've been using the M50 as a webcam with a USB cable on both my MacBook and PC for months. Much easier than using a capture card and the quality is incredible compared to a regular webcam

[@Agamy_Fit]

Mark I or II you use?

[@adrianvanleeuwen]

I would pick the m50ii for its added features of clean hdmi out, livestreaming and connect to zoom as a quality zoom camera, or using for vlogging. Worth the upgrade if a person actually needs that or wants it for vlogging.

[@NaturalMentalHealthTreatments]

For me the Mark II is a game-changer. I already have a Mark I which is great value and perfect for my studio KZbin vids but the lack of vertical video makes it horrible to use for Instagram. Gonna get a second M50 (II) I'll setup both simultaneously shooting at different angles for KZbin vids and use the Mark II for IGTV. Live streaming will also be great. You didn't mention the vertical vid capability.

I have the Mark I. Love it and there's not enough in the Mark II to make me want to upgrade. If I was looking to buy my first M50 I would go with the Mark II if the price tag wasn't an issue. Either way you can't go wrong with either. My concern is that Canon could possibly discontinue the EF-M line in favor of the R and that wold be a shame.

[@darkscreenpodcasts618]

Discontinue confirmed

[@AllThingsFilm1]

I would have considered replacing my M50 with the M50 ii had they removed the crop in 4K mode, or at least had maintained the autofocus abilities in both HD and 4K.

[@ThinkMediaTV]

the true upgrade would be the M6 II! amzn.to/3sGjjRd

[@EveryDayHeroes89]

Speedboster?

[@GuyXVIII]

there is a speedbooster which is also a efs-to-efm adapter that negates the crop. Todd Dominey has a video about that subject. edit: not ALL lenses fit with that speedbooster. the 10-18mm EF-S lens for example, would not fit.

[@rubengarciajr]

congrats!

[@jaackmcmahon8757]

Seeing a few 4K TV/monitors are in people's homes, I wouldn't worry too much about creating 4K content. 1080 is what has been selling for years and now for less than $250 for a 30"+ set. Given a Nikon body only is $1500 and with Z lens runs $2300 and UP. Too much for a beginners camera IMHO.

[@piipoo147]

Is it worth it?

[@cyphre]

Just to clarify: the first M50 could do clean HDMI out, except you would have to turn off autofocus. Definitely not amazing, but still capable if you don't intend to move around much.

[@GuyXVIII]

just press 'info' a couple of times ;)

[@SteveAtkinsonFineArt]

Love most of the things on my M50 original, but not everything. 3 big misses that I was hoping they'd address in this upgrade... 1) If your camera is on a tripod and you're filming, you need to dismount it (including your quick release plate) to get at the battery and memory card, wtf Canon?!? 2) The placement of the microphone input is right in front of the rotating monitor, so if you're filming yourself, it blocks your clean view of the shot. and 3) Don't even get me started on the 4K cropping and useless contrast based focus as opposed to the stellar dual pixel focus. No fix, so no upgrade for me. Thanks Think Media for the video review, much appreciated!

[@JVJF7]

But what is a better alternative then?

[@SteveAtkinsonFineArt]

@@JVJF7 Even with the 3 things I mentioned in my comment, I still recommend the M50. You just learn to work within its limitations. Unless you're willing to pay an extra $1,500.00 or so for an R6 full-frame mirrorless camera upgrade.

I literally bought my M50 2 months ago... I hope this video doesn't make me replace it... Edit: Clean HDMI was the thing I was most upset about... one of the major things I bought this camera for was for livestreaming on Twitch... and was super disappointed that I had to turn off AF if I wanted to use HDMI+capture card... also the record button on the screen is super helpful, as I've failed to click the record button at the right time because I couldn't see it (only barely feel it)...

Great video Omar. I have the M50 Mk1 and still having a blast using it. I’m surprised they didn’t consider dropping the 30min record limit on the Mk2 as that’s a frustrating feature I didn’t think would come to niggle me after purchase. I also have the 50mm and adapter, that’s a brilliant addition too. Peace! Paul G 😎

[@ForeverBetterAcademy]

It limits the recording time?! Is this a setting or because the battery runs out?

[@andrews.9286]

I am really disappointed with the mk2 version. This is nothing more than a firmware update to the mk1. This should be a free or low cost upgrade for mk1 users. So if I understand correctly, the main advantage of the mk2 is the ability to not use Canon's Webcam software. BFD As far as the refurbs go, Cannon has raised the price of them. Throughout Spring and Summer they were $425 with free shipping and dropped down to a low of $350. This is with a lens. I should have bought it then but I got caught up in the hype of the mk2 and all the new features it was supposed to have. Hopefully there will be some Black Friday deals.

[@OmarEltakrori]

Yea probably true, however, I look at it as fair upgrade. Every other brand releases the “new” version that makes you hate your current one..in the world of actual M50 users, everyone’s happy

[@MehulShaRma]

[@SuperYachtCaptain]

Do you know if Canon are gong to release an M7 or is it only rumours? M50 Mark II is not worth upgrading to.

[@ThinkMediaTV]

A... the m6 mark ii ... is kinda what the m50 mark ii should have been. B... yeah, I think the m7 will be a step above the the m6 mark ii. I bet it costs 1300-1500+ So, I think the m50 1 or 2 is still great. I have a lot to do with your budget.

@@irfanmohd091 soo I DID end up buying the m50 and honestly its not bad of camera. It does the job just well! i did a photoshoot 2 weeks with this chick and the pics cam out pretty dope. The only flaw i could really point out is the battery life. Not the best imo, i think my old dslr can last a bit longer but then again everything including the screen is more digitized you know what i mean? And i think the iphone MAX cameras are the same if not a little better than a M50. Overall tho i think the cam was worth buying. Also too i was pretty upset when i found i couldnt use my favorite nifty 50 lens on it bc i need to add an adapter. which of courrrse costs around 100 bucks :/

This feels like a Version 1.1 of the M50. Looks like a firmware update is all that this camera has rather than anything "new" to be honest. I'd love to know if there is anything in the hardware of the M50 Mark II that the M50 itself doesn't have that it couldn't have these same features with just a firmware update. Also, I'd also love to know if the electronic level display bug is fixed where it can display if you're using face tracking as opposed to Zone tracking as your autofocus mode.

[@anthonysmith5979]

It's a bit late but Iv'e had the M50 M1 for a few years now and can tell you about some flaws. with a mike cable input you can't rotate the screen with out pulling the cable out. there is no volume progress bars for left and right on the screen when recording in 4K so you have no idea of the audio or volume. The IR beam on the front of the body is in the wrong place, it gets blocked some times by holding the camera, this causes blurred photos or a failed shot. You can't hot swap batteries with out removing from the tripod. the lens cap on the included lens falls off unexpectedly. the built in flash if you use it has to be manually raised which is awkward when your in a hurry to get the shot. I think the biggest piss off is no volume on the screen, some times I've had to do several takes because I didn't know that there was no audio until it was played back. I use the Saramonic Blink 500 mike kit with the twin transmitters. Tony from Australia

[@ViciousXUSMC]

I am sure being a year old by now you know, that the MK1 can do clean HDMI via a "hack" simply using the USB cable to connect to the remote shooting software, and turning off the on screen info gives you clean output. I have been doing this for the last few videos I created. But now that this camera is tied to my desk with 3 cables (power, usb, and hdmi) I don't really have a camera to take around to film. So honestly torn between getting another M50 since I am used to it, and have some lens already. Or upgrade to something else. I want to get the Cannon R5C, so can't decide save that $400 for that, or spend the $400 now so I have something until I can get the R5C.

[@richscott2483]

Unfortunately, the Canon M6 Mark II had not yet been released when my daughter got her M50. She has been attempting to create KZbin videos and frankly, it suxs. I would like to say, buy the M6, and forget about all the issues you will encounter with the M50. The M50 was a great camera for a year or two. But when you discover all the shortcomings and adjustment settings required to make it work...too many hassles. Thank you for the kind review between the M50 version 1 and version 2. However, Canon now appears to be switching gears to the R50 or "R" Line. Don't expect much support or Love from Canon for the EF-M line to be around much longer. It is a competitive camera market, a professional will easily spend $5,000 for a basic startup. When your startup is small and rather inexpensive, don't count on getting great results as you'll just have to work with what you have and can afford. Nobody said you had to keep up with the Joneses or wealthy folks. It all takes time, strategy, goals, and money!

Sooo whats the better camera to grab for videography? A m50 or a sl3?

[@starvingarabo7147]

Is it worth buying it as my first mirror less camera and for street photography

[@luisacevedo324]

How would you compare the Canon m-50 vs the Sony sv1... Or is it like comparing apples to Orange. I'm just starting out. Testing the waters... Thanks

If there is no physical difference, how does one distinguish the Mark ii when buying a used camera?

[@brettpinkley3268]

I think you missed a main feature added, they also added a crop zoom video, where as before it was just a manual focus adjuster.

[@Lepewhi]

Which one do you suggest if you are into photography and not video?

[@mobilefreelancer3831]

would u choose a M50 instead of a SL2?

[@mattvalentin7330]

The canon m50 mark i is currently on sale at B&H for 550 including a rode mic and sd card. While the mark ii is selling for 650 with the kit lens. In your opinion, with a difference of 100 and without a mic, which deal is better? Im thinking of buying my first camera and I'm stuck between each one

That white canon looks super nice and above my budget 😂😂

Awesome video... Hmmm... Canon says the auto focus on the m50 mk ii is better than the original m50, I wonder if that includes 4k. I personally like to use manual focus anyway, so to me, the M50 is a very good 4k camera for filmmaking, if you get in there and use manual controls. As you said, drop a Viltrox speed booster on there, and use a good lens, and you have a great setup, and for less than $800 total, if you get the original M50 used or renewed. Lots of deals less than $500 on Ebay right now. I think the connectivity of the mk ii makes it compelling, though. And the clean HDMI, but maybe not worth an additional $200. (if you get the m50 used). Probably the best thing would be to suck it up and spend the extra few hundred bucks and be able to get a camera that is closer to having a smartphone in your hands with a much better camera, at least in terms of transferring and sharing files, and also being able to shoot vertically... Thanks for the positive video, it certainly is easy to trash this upgrade by Canon, but actually, it's pretty good when you consider they only added $50 to the price tag. Maybe they should have just said, "the latest version" of the m50. Maybe then people wouldn't be so pissed off, although I guess then, original m50 users would be like, "Yo, could you just do this in firmware for us, please?" You can't win. ;) And as we know, companies are just trying to make more money all the time. Like everyone else. ;)

In 2022 I got my Mk1 for under £300 on Wex with Good condition which is good enough, paired with Canon's 18-150mm lens from MPB for under £300 again. Total ≈ £540.

[@IzhanZubir]

Looking to buy the M50. Thanks for this comprehensive review!

[@danielbroomhall8882]

Can I use the M50 or M50 II for astrophotography? is so, which lens would you recommend for it besides the kit ones? Thanks a lot, mate.
