I'm not a camera pro. I needed to start shooting content for my business and did some research - took a shot on this one. Great decision. The amazing auto focus is a key feature for filming yourself because it follows you after you set it up to keep you in focus as you're moving around.

Consumers are demanding mirrorless cameras because generally they're as good and as versatile as DSLRs, but are smaller and lighter. While that's one of the draws of the 24.1-MP Canon EOS M50, it's not the only one.

Very good photo quality; even in low light; Excellent electronic viewfinder; Easy-to-use swiveling touch screen; Lots of shooting modes; Includes hot-shoe for external flashes

Expensive; Relatively smaller lens selection; Video footage had some jitter; Less battery life than competition

The EOS M50 is a new entry-level compact system camera from Canon. The EOS M50 has a 24.1 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, the very latest DIGIC 8 processor, 4K video recording, a touch-screen interface, 99-point AF System, ISO 100-25600, a 3-inch 1,040K-dot LCD vari-angle monitor, integrated Wi-Fi,...

It's about time that Canon added 4K to a consumer camera-it's currently only available in the pro-grade EOS 5D Mark IV and EOS-1D X Mark II SLRs and in its cinema cameras. But what's in the EOS M50 was not the right way to do it.

Compact; 24MP APS-C image sensor; 10fps burst; 7.4fps with tracking; Wide focus coverage area; Vari-angle touch LCD; Mic input; EVF; Wi-Fi

4K video is cropped with slower autofocus; Native lens options still limited; Limited shots when shooting Raw bursts

Canon's been making mirrorless cameras for almost six years, but until now it doesn't seem to have been wholly convinced by the idea, shying away from making models that might compete directly with its own DSLRs. Now, though, we have the EOS M50, and perhaps things are starting to change.

Compact size and light weight make it easy to carry everywhere; Excellent image quality; with reliable metering and auto white balance; Quick and accurate autofocus; even with adapted EF-mount DSLR lenses; Easy-to-use interface that still gives extensive control over settings; Fully articulated...

Single-dial control slower to use than twin-dial competitors; Overly contrasty viewfinder blocks up shadow details; Poorly implemented manual focus magnification; Very small range of native EF-M lenses; 4K video is subject to considerable restrictions

It's fair to say Canon missed the start gun for mirrorless cameras, with Fujifilm, Panasonic and Olympus already well down the track and pulling away.

Brilliant Small Camera with most EOS SLR features and programs. I t can be hard to see the LCD screen sometimes, but after purchasing the EVF-DC2 Electronic Viewfinder Accessory, I am now really happy using this camera in very sunny conditions.

Canon EOS M50 review: This mirrorless camera is really compact, and yet can pass off as a point-and-shoot device.

Having owned Canon products for a long time, and working in the field with heavy DSLR gear, it was time to make a switch to something a bit lighter and up-to-date spec wise. I've watched the Mirrorless category grow, and was torn between leaving my dear Canon behind in favor of the competition, but...

It's taken Canon a long time to advance its mirrorless line-up. For 2018 it's clearly a big year because in addition to the EOS M50 accomplishing more than its lesser EOS M models, the company also released its EOS R full-frame mirrorless line-up .

Capable Dual Pixel CMOS autofocus; Vari-angle touchscreen is useful (and stows for protection; Small size and lightweight; Decent image quality

Poor battery life (three bar system bad for projecting remaining life; Simplistic autofocus features; Limited lens range (of limited quality; Too; Some touchscreen quirks
