Canon EOS M50 Deep Review and price comparison !!!
Canon released the first EOS M canon mirrorless camera in 2012, using an APS-C sized sensor and EF-M lens system. Until now there have been seven members of the EOS M series family, but Canon's seriousness is only recently seen on the EOS M50.
The most striking features on the EOS M50 are the ability to record 4K video, equipped with a viewfinder (EVF), and a full vari-angle screen that can be opened to the side and rotated 360 degrees. Immediately, the following review of the Canon EOS M50 - before that below is a line of Canon EOS M
- 2012 - EOS-1000
- 2015 - EOS M3
- 2016 - EOS P10
- 2016 - EOS, M5
- 2017 - EOS M100
- 2017 - EOS M6
- 2018 - EOS, M50
The naming of Canon mirrorless cameras is indeed irregular, but when viewed from the line of design and the completeness of the camera controls the sequence is:
- EOS M, EOS M3, and EOS M6
- EOS M10 and EOS M100
- EOS M5 and EOS M50
I was surprised when I first saw the EOS M50, it turned out that the size was not that big. The dimensions of 116.3 × 88.1 × 58.7 mm and weighing 390 grams (body only), make this camera practical to carry and not 'eat places' when stored.
The display problem, the EOS M50 inherits the design of the EOS M5 with a DSLR style. The handgrip is large enough to be more comfortable in the hand, there is a hotshoe to install accessories such as an external flash or microphone, and an electronic viewfinder in the "hump" section that provides a pleasant shooting experience.
The camera unit I reviewed is white, with a glossy touch that is quite interesting. Although the build quality is good, the plastic material used presents a less premium feel in the hand. I prefer black with a matte finish that looks calmer.
Control Camera Canon EOS M50
Control of the embedded camera is not as complete as the EOS M5, there is only a dial shooting mode to switch the shooting mode and one main dial around the shutter button which functions versatile to adjust such as shutter speed, aperture, and ISO.
For the layout of the button attributes concentrated on the right, in the upper right panel is found the shutter button, the movie button, the on / off switch, the M-Fn button that can be adjusted, hotshoe, and internal flash.
The front, found mounting EF-M lenses, buttons to open the lens, two microphones, and AF illuminator or self-timer lights.
Turning to the rear, there is an electronic viewfinder (EVF) with a 2.36 million dot resolution OLED panel. Full touchscreen 3-inch screen that supports the tap-to-focus, touch shutter, and menu navigation functions. And, full articulated which can almost be rotated in any direction and can be closed when not in use.
On the side of the screen, there are a number of buttons such as AE lock, AF frame selection, Info, Menu, Playback, and navigation buttons, each of which is equipped with certain functions.
The HDMI port, micro USB, and WiFi functions are located on the right side. 3.5 mm external microphone input port and NFC area on the left side. Meanwhile, the battery slot, memory card, and tripod socket hole are under.
Canon EOS M50 Features and Specifications
The core part of the EOS M50 is the CMOS type sensor, APS-C size, 24.1-megapixel resolution, and is controlled by the latest Canon image processing processor, Digic 8.
This new processor contributes to the improved performance of Dual Pixel AF. Now it displays more AF points, which are 99 points to 143 points and larger area coverage that is 80% vertical x 80% horizontal to 88% x 100% on certain lenses.
The combination also makes it capable of snapping successively 10 photos per second in focus mode AF-S (Single-shot AF) and 7.4 photos per second in AF-C (Continuous AF). With native ISO sensitivity levels from 100 to 25,600 which can be expanded up to ISO 51,200.
The EOS M50 is also the first mirrorless camera to support the new Canon RAW format file, CR3. This RAW type offers high quality by storing a full 24-megapixel resolution but in a file size of 40% smaller.
One of the advantages of shooting in RAW format is that it gives you more flexibility when processing photos. You can edit RAW photos in the Canon Digital Photo Professional application

Canon EOS M50 Video Recording Capability
The EOS M50 is Canon's first mirrorless camera capable of recording 4K resolution video (3840 × 2160 pixels), even with crop 1.7x, and a 25 fps frame rate. Meanwhile, at the 1080p resolution, it can be recorded at 50 fps and 720p resolution up to 100 fps.
To support video production, the EOS M50 is also equipped with Dual Sensing IS stabilization technology to neutralize vibrations. Where the system uses a gyro sensor and information from the CMOS sensor to detect movement.
The full articulated screen, 4K video recording, and Dual Sensing IS - make the EOS M50 capable enough to produce video content for YouTube. For best results, just record at 1080p resolution and take certain footage at 4K resolution.
Unfortunately, the Dual Pixel AF technology does not work in 4K video recording, where the camera is limited to contrast detection AF. If the video recording feature you are looking for, then the Sony Alpha A6300 or Panasonic Lumix G85 can be glimpsed.
Admittedly, the design of this full articulated screen is fun. It is very easy when arranging compositions and shooting from various angles - both photos and videos.
The presence of the viewfinder presents its own satisfaction. The cool part, the EOS M50 supports the Touchpad AF option that allows us to search for focus points by wiping the screen.
The silent shutter mode is also interesting, allowing us to take photos without attracting much attention. Operation of the EOS M50 is relatively easy and is used by anyone who wants better photos than a smartphone camera.
The EOS M50 uses a type LP-E12 battery, just like the EOS M100 which is only able to provide 235 photos at a time. But we can activate Eco Eco mode which is believed to be able to slightly extend up to 370 photos.
What really sucks is even though this camera has a micro USB port, but we can't charge the camera directly from the camera. This means that you can't charger using Powerbank - you should buy a spare battery.
The embedded connectivity is very complete, from Bluetooth, WiFi, to NFC. Don't forget to install the Canon Camera Connect application on a smartphone, where the photos will be automatically transferred to the smartphone so they can directly post to social media.
Bluetooth makes both devices connected, even when the camera is turned off. The setup process is a bit complicated, it can only send photos, and can't send videos.
About the quality of the results of the EOS M50's photos are very good, especially at low ISO 100 to 800 - the colors offered are also typical of Canon - looks fun. While in poor conditions, you should not use ISO more than 6400 - because noise will begin to appear.
Here are some photos of the Canon EOS M50 using EF-M15-45 mm f / 3.5-6.3 IS STM lenses:
To be honest, my initial impression was a bit skeptical about the EOS M50. Because it's a basic camera, but the doubt has disappeared after being spoiled by its various features. The EOS M50 is able to meet my needs such as covering events, as well as product photos and video reviews. It should also be sufficient to meet your various basic needs as well.
Full articulated and full touchscreen, electronic viewfinder with Touchpad AF, 4K video recording, Dual Sensing IS stabilization, the latest Digic 8 processor that makes overall camera performance increase significantly, and a compact body - this camera is fun and easy to use.
In my opinion, ideal for video content creators [read: YouTuber] or photography enthusiasts especially smartphone users who tell stories through photos by giving touches such as exposure settings, focal points, colors, compositions, and creativity that we have. you can a comparison with Sony a600
