I like the fact that you used it in auto because most of the people who start using a camera are using this mode. Great video dude, always love your work!

[realpkchronicles]

Honestly man as a newbie to youtube vlogging thank you so much for this, people usually make camera reviews in manual but us beginners are always starting out using auto. Thank you so much for the vid I have to buy this now cause my camera is so bad with focus

[AccordingtoRia]

Also, I have been watching quite a few camera reviews and by far yours is my favorite. By far one of the most informative and I really like how you filmed in a way most bloggers would be filming, I’ve seen so many videos that are only using the rear side of the camera, but I am glad I came across this video to see what the camera would look like in the way I would actually be using it

I LOVED the video Jeven. I had to make a comment on this because that is what I am primarily teaching on youtube here... how to use this camera. I've made many videos about this little thing and being here for under a year, this camera is a win win situation for me right now... I do shoot 12 years on big DSLRs absolutely hate them for video. I have Canon 5D Mark III and I knew immediately after 1 try that it is strictly my photography camera. I hate the focus issue on that camera. I started doing YouTube on Vixia camcorder which was OK but wanted something better. Vixia is now my 2nd and back up camera. I picked up M50 for its' autofocus and I love it. It solved all problems, I can get great B roll with my EF lenses + Adapter and it looks really good. I am also a stock photographer and I realized that after a years I can start selling video as well, but just like you mentioned in the video, I was also very disappointed in 4K video crop and it's autofocus. It is not a 4K camera.... I know I will stick with this camera for a long time... but as I will build my channel and make some changes in my studio in terms of cameras. I still have another 5D mark I which might just go and M50 will replace it for weddings if I think photography is decent with it... I will most likely start looking for great 4K camera... that would be my next step.... but still ahead... I can do many more videos about teaching photography & video on M50... :) …. awesome video... wishing all the best to you and your wife... keep up the hard work guys... greetings from Canada.

Thank you! I bought it today. I am still recording with a smartphone and I will switch to M50.. very exciting!!

I think you hit this out of the park. I'm a complete noob and finding my way somewhat easily. I'll be putting it to the test this July as this will be my camera documenting my thru-hike of the John Muir Trail as well as a few motorcycle trips. Great video and thanks for the content. Love your channel.

[DossFarm]

Completely agree. Rather use my iPhone for 4K. I went with the sx740 and have no regrets in 1080p. More affordable as well.

[Kordare]

Ive been using the M50 for a year now, it was my first real camera and has performed very well.

This is the kind of high quality, honest review I like to watch about products I'm interested in. Thanks for this!

[CamdenUnrein]

I got the canon m50 and have been using it to make videos on my channel. I’ve enjoyed it a lot and feel like it’s a great beginner/budget camera to get started with YouTube

[yasmineberrahou]

This video is incredibly detailed and thorough. As someone who's completely lost as to what camera to buy and has been watching so many confusing YT vids on the subject to become more familiar, this was a breathe of fresh air. Thank you thank you !!!

[HereBeBarr]

Great review !! Happy to help out. It’s my go to camera and your review is super useful 👌🏻👌🏻

[paultaylorphotography]

Literally just bought an M50. After shooting for my chan on smart phones decided to step it up a notch. Cant wait to shoot my next vid with it. Cheers Paul

I've owned the M50 for about 6 months. It's my main vlogging camera and actually a pretty capable client-video-production camera - within reason. Although the 11-22 is a good pick, i think the 15-45 is a better choice. Both have IS but that extra reach makes b-roll as well as pieces-to-camera easy.
The problem with it is the reason it's so cheap - it's got 4K, but it may as well not have really - certainly not for vlogging. Find for shooting b-roll but for the rest, the auto focus is hopeless.
A lot of people are very snippy about the M50 for some reason but right now, in 2019 it's a great choice. When 4k is the norm rather than the usual (so next year or the year after) it'll be a relic.
Make sure you do a firmware update as soon as you get it though - there's a number of things in the update that's not in the retail versions.

This is my first ever interchangeable lens camera, I bought it for my channel content and I'm loving the ease of use. To this point, I've only used the kit lens but have ordered the 50mm f1.8 which should be here this week which I'm also looking forward to trying out. I've also added a Movo VRX10 shotgun microphone that produces very good sound quality. To this point, I'm very satisfied with this camera and look forward to using it as my primary shooter for some time to come.

[praveensharma]
