I'm pretty sure I speak for a lot of people when I say. The reason I like your reviews so much is ---- you are real! I mean you don't go fully technical to display your superior camera knowledge. You put the time in, and make it so relatable to your viewers. Not to mention your jokes are awesome AND you have had dogs in your last few videos. BOOO YAHHH!!
Wow. You’re review was really informative Gene. I was so sick of all the other reviewers doing the same thing over and over. The night iPhone comparison part was genius.
This video literally saved me for going for the M50 lol. Not having a headphone jack is fine but not being able to monitor audio? That's a deal breaker.
I've watched a LOT of videos on this camera... I was pretty much sold on it a few days ago but this one sealed the deal. Seeing comparison shots (esp the low light) made a huge diff. I'm new to the game so getting as much info as possible. Great video thanx!
I've been tired of finding a perfect camera in a budget, and had an eye on M50, but I was unable to understand the qualities of it. You came to rescue. This was such a helpful video. Lots of love. A small UA-camr here. :)
I am a Sony user, my full frame 4k camera is about 4 stops ISO advantages over M50. However, I think people are missing the points here. It is a very balanced and complete review about M50 as a vlogging camera. It's not like as if this crushes every camera in the market. But with the Canon color science, dpaf, vari angle touchscreen, the smallest form factor for vlogging, it's still very recommendable even without perfect 4k specs.
I got an aftermarket plug in battery adapter, which was a game changer for my M50. Often times I would run out of battery mid video and have to switch out my batteries. Now that is no longer an issue because I have the adapter that gives me power right through the bottom hidden cover of the camera battery door. It's amazing. No more battery issues.
Potato, man, I love all of your reviews.... probably watched hours of your videos... good stuff. I have to disagree with you about 4k though. Even if you ultimately produce 1080p, 4k is EXTREMELY useful. You have the option of down-scaling, cropping, etc. Options are always good and the simple fact that Canon cropped 4k AND removed PDAF in 4k mode made this camera a non-starter for so many people. I don't believe they did it because they didn't have the processing power. This is what Canon has been criticized for lately and why Sony has been killing it. Let's see what the Canon EOS R offers us...
Mee too I am abt to buy this in next few days .....I loved white color in this but it's not available in my country ....so I have to settle it with black color😡😡
Preet Singh Haha Yeah, I dropped the idea of buying it. I decided to use my existing DSLR it’s not the best for video but it does okay, Just posted a video using that a few days ago. Keeps scanning for focus. Nikon’s *Faceplam*
Throwing the 1.8 on there in the dark was SUPER HELPFUL!! I’m looking to replace my 60D (or at least have a lightweight version of it!!) so this vid really helps out!
I just bought this camera for my wife with the EF adapter. Looking forward to seeing how the autofocus works with my Canon L wide aperture lenses like my 70-200 2.8L, my 85 1.2L, and my 100 macro 2.8L
In the end, video quality in FullHD is so different between M50 and 80D? I have to buy my first camera and I'm thinking if M50 is good enough to not regret the purchase. Thank you
I do audio and Voice Over primarily. Just now getting back into video after too many years in commercial TV. (When I started in TV we shot on 16mm film.) So, here's my take. Only a dog can discern the audio quality between a lossy, compressed audio format like Mp3 and .wav or .aiff. So, even at 720p it's hard for me to tell the difference. 4K is just another marketing ploy to get us to change out our stuff so the camera makers can make more money.
I just bought it and LOVE it. Perfect portable size, amazing solid feel. 4K video can't even be handled by most screens and is lost on phones - it's a vanity feature for vlogging. Reality check - unless you are filming Lord of the Rings then this is everything you need!
Just bought the M50 a couple months ago and still learning the ins and outs of it. This video was super helpful and easy to understand! Thank you for the content 👌🏼
I use the Canon M50 along with the 10-18mm wide angle lens and this camera is AMAZING. If anyone has been thinking about getting it, GET IT YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!!!
Great informational video. As far as m50 durability. My m50 fell about 3 feet off a bridge and survived the fall wothout a scratch...have to say I was amazed.
In August 2019, all I can say is, that once you get used to a really nice 4k display you become really good at discerning video quality and you really can tell the difference. However, regardless of the display, the person doing the filming has to be doing their job correctly for the quality to translate to the display in the best quality possible. 4k shot in the wrong settings can look worse than a fantastic 720p shot. This is also where the individual camera comes into play too and let’s not forget the most important factor: good lighting. For what it’s worth, my 4k display is a 65” LG tv.
I was so worried about starting a youtube channel about being a PhD student because most of my day is spent in my house which is painted pretty dark in the nicest spaces. However, after seeing that iPhone comparison I don't think I have anything to worry about. If you could still see pretty well in that dark of light, my house shouldn't be a problem. I'm buying the camera now. Great video!
You should make a video about how you moved to LA out of high school and how you managed financially. I know there are some people here who could use that advice
I don't know how I could thank you for this review, you actually answered ALL the questions I had, showed EXACTLY what I was looking for. That deserves a sub, a like, and all my gratitude!
This was just so close for me. 4K? Check, but no DPAF. 120fps? Check, but in 720p. This was so close to what I wanted, but so far off in reality. Let's go, Canon. Cater to my specific needs lol. EDIT: Nice, I didn't know it had focus peaking. That does make more sense, or at least makes it not fully pointless.
Thanks for adding the gx7 battery life. I wanted that until I seen it only does 1h 27m. I need something that can go continuously at least twice as long for streaming.
for streaming you have a stable power source. you can buy a dummy battery with an extra cable (just search for dummy battery canon m50 on amazon) which you can connect to any powersource basically. normal LP-E12 for the M50 are 860mAh or something close to that, with the dummy battery you can hook it up to massive 20000mAh battery packs if you want to.
This is one of the best review and explanation of eos m50. In 10 minutes your cover most of the important topic we should know! Plus there's lot of beautiful outdoor video. Thumbs up for this
Dustin Vang Please reply My go to setup are original canon adapter ➕ 50mm fI.8 stm on m50 for still photos But i got heavy noise and purple fringing, not sharp at all daylight and night
That shot test at 12.5k ISO in real world situation is just what i need to know on how good this camera perform. And the comparison between F4 and F1.8 was a really good comparison. What a great review. Dive in straight to the usage and performance of the camera in real world situation.
Man, you are really fresh air through all those standardised reviewers. So many clever ideas and real word usage information, not reading the specs stuff. Keep it up! Subscribed!
@@AugmentedGravity it also doesn't NEED to be shot in full HD 1080p 24fps, but that's the current standard, which is leaning toward 4k now. It's subjective what quality is "necessary"
I struggled with that when I upgraded from my Canon T6. I ended up choosing the SL2 because it was larger (better for handheld shooting) and it didn't need the adapter for my EF lenses like the M50. But the M50 has more AF points and higher resolution. So it basically just came down to price, and I didn't need all the features the M50 offered.
This seems like a great camera for Vloging, just not something I do, I feel like the A6300 is better for anything else, the Full sensor 4K at ISO 12.800 is soooo much better that what is shown here, how is the Dynamic range I'm the M50. Great video like always, loved it!
Absolutely Perfect, thanks for the help, I'm researching economical cameras for to upgrade from a decade old rebel for which I use for images and video instruction. I think I'm buying this.
Great video. Having used the 80D for profesh video shooting (not vlogs) and now switching to this camera - no visual audio waveform monitoring + no headphone jack is total deal breaker. 80D for the win here. Sure, you can set the audio levels to auto but I'm guessing the noise will peak when it's hunting for sound. Bad audio is unfixable and your shot is toast. What was Canon thinking?!?
I'm pretty sure I speak for a lot of people when I say. The reason I like your reviews so much is ---- you are real! I mean you don't go fully technical to display your superior camera knowledge.

My first time here and I ain't coming back for the dogs. I'm coming back for the smiles on Carrie's face. Hey there cutie.
And he's got a hot girl, that alone got me to buy the camera!
agree!! 1st few seconds of your vid.. im hooked! your da man!
you are the most underrated youtuber ever
great effort in reviewing M50
suck up...

Totally! That blew me away
Most helpful review of this camera yet! Thanks bro! Didn’t know you can’t visually monitor the audio!
Jorge Aguilera agreed
Fully agree! Answered most of the questions I had about this camera. Great video, thanks!
Should I upgrade my old mirrorless camera or just get a drone sites.google.com/site/UpcomingDrone2018
Jorge Aguilera bc it automatically does the audio. It auto adjusts so it won’t peak

A7III
I got it a month ago after max yuryev tested out the low light performances
have to remember the a7iii is almost 3 times the price of the m50 with a decent lens
true, but being able to shoot almost any light conditions well worth the price
Lucky Never Don"t forget for vlogging, Canon has the biggest user base, easier to be more popular if you use Canon gears.
Yes, I want to see a full video comparison between the Canon M50 and the RED.

is it still the best camera for that price? Or is there a better cam for that price now

Was that f/1.8 50mm? If yes, then how did get a nice wide angle, you both were in the frame
nah 18-35 1.8
I sold my dated cameras [Canon EOS M and Fujifilm X100] and bought the M50 because of this video and I couldn't be happier! Thank you!

Not true about the 4K part.
I can easily tell between 4K and 1080p not to mention 720p.

4K is the most overrated feature for vlogging ever.
Delivering in 4K, yes, Shooting in 4K, not so much because it enables you to reframe your shot in post and still end up with a 1080p final product.
@@danieldougan269 why would you want to reframe a vloging scene? It doesn't make sense.
@@AugmentedGravity because when downscaling 4k into 1080p, it crams those pixels into a tighter space, making it appear higher quality.
@@DillonHiggins The point is it doesn't need to be, t all.
@@AugmentedGravity it also doesn't NEED to be shot in full HD 1080p 24fps, but that's the current standard, which is leaning toward 4k now. It's subjective what quality is "necessary"
Dude that part showing how dark it was through your iPhone was pretty cool! Awesome idea to give perspective. That’s some damn good low light.
