Canon EOS M RAW vs EOS M50 4K VIDEO Comparison: CLOSE CALL!

All the footage were graded in Davinci Resolve and placed side-by-side so I could get them to look close as possible. The M50 4K shocked me, it's quite good in terms of colour. It does look more compressed and the highlights/latitude are a little poorer than the M with Magic Lantern RAW. I do prefer the EOS M RAW more, but for the quick stuff/YouTube, the M50 is absolutely no slouch. I'm also expecting YouTube Compression to make the comparison more difficult. The EOS M is slightly more detailed too with ML RAW 2.5K.

This dude is a legend. When people are fighting over R5 vs A7Siii, he is rocking his EOS M and getting stunning results. I am completely blown away.

this video is simply showing how amazing the original EOS M is, I thought it matched the m50 in most cases but looked more cinematic in others. Even the extra quality of life features of the m50 don't make the huge step up in price worth while in my opinion. It's crazy to think that the EOS M will turn 10 next year and yet no budget cinema camera can match it!

[stephanematis]

The M50 has many end-user improvements, done right by the looks of things. But for my needs, the M @ 2.5K is pretty close to perfect. Thanks for putting in the 2.8K shots, that's a mode I've not yet used.

[UnauthorizedCreations]

amazing stuff. I have a Canon m50 mark II and I love it, but after watching Zeek I have purchased two Canon EOS M's to add to my filming set up to make cooking content. I'm so glad I discovered this channel because the Canon Eos M cameras are absolutely amazing and I even got a compliment the other day about the picture quality of my cooking shots.

[Skunk-]

I have both these cameras (I got my EOS M today from Ebay.) Looking forward to trying Magic Lantern. Your channel is a great resource.

[TonyXOriginalz]

Great video! Thank you for taking the time to make it? The EOS M has certainly surprised me in a good way.

[jimmackayvlog]

I'm glad I found this channel. Your content makes me want to work on my video skills.

[tonyunderwoodmusic]

Really appreciate your videos, I am new to the magic lantern angle. Am looking now to go down the rabbit hole and try some raw shooting, and this is a great comparison. You shoot beautiful videos ! Thanks for the knowledge Zeek!

[denmarksoul]

Yes! I've been waiting for this video! Zeek please do another video with the M50. Now I will watch and comment again. 😂

[rektcoder]

canon M raw blows socks off so good, dynamic range is insane. m50 4k looks like it has compressed colouring range somehow.

[balisbest]

Great video Zeek! I was waiting for this one but it didn't take away my doubts of getting an Eos M the 60 fps on the M50 is just a must for me! Keep them vids coming!

[thestandardfilmmaker]

EOS M has far more character to it. I think the M50 is more efficient to use. But the EOS M has that real Arri Alexa vibe to it which I love! Great video Zeek as always!

[ivandj]

Hi Zeek, You said a lot, I might add a difference in file size (raw files are huge and take up a lot of space, and processing time also requires stronger hardware, especially if you're on a PC). Someone who doesn't want to get into color grading M50 is easier to use. On the Canon M, I miss the flip screen a lot. Also, I'm never sure if it will record 6-7 seconds or longer, it's a lottery. The batteries also discharge quickly. What I like is that raw files can be exported as arri alexa log and really resemble that look to some extent.

[mediamass]

i like the overall nature shots of the m but the m50 has it on the closeups, I admit it

[lordtanatoskmkn]

definitely is the person not the camera taking the image, stunning results with either camera

[Wingman]

To me the M50 had a tab better sharper image but the 9 year old EOS held it's own. Great video.

[bern]

Great video comparison Zeek, I love my EOS M but I also own the M50 great for stills and with these comparisons great for video as well it seems, can't wait for the work in progress to open up the M50, it will be awesome

[joseyang]

Wow!! the 2.8K is really a close call!!

[FilmSpook]

👍🏾👍🏾 Fantastic Comparison, Zeek, brother!! I was so close to buying a used M50 a few times earlier this year, but opted for other cameras and gear. I still have my heart set on purchasing an M50 someday, though, to have fun with shooting some short films with. Best Wishes to you and your family, my friend. 💗

With Magic Lantern, Optical Flow & Gigapixel AI my everyday choice is EOS M.
