That said I just got a sweet deal on an EOS M so I picked that up and now I'm scouring youtube for (more) videos about it. While I'd love the bmpcc 4k for my needs it's looking like the EOS M will do everything I need for now at least, thanks for the great videos.

Hey amigo! Your content keeps surfacing in my recommended when I am searching for up to date Magic Lantern EOS M videos... now that Zeek has sadly gone silent for the last year or more there's a huge hole in this space, which you do an admirable job of filling!

I visited your site and was surprised that you don't run your own Discord ... while there is an "official" one for Magic Lantern, I haven't seen or found anything that is specifically for the EOS M

Thanks for this video, especially the settings. Im waiting to use Magic Lantern on it, still and have a full frame adapter, but right now I dont have any full frame lesnes, but I did buy APSC ones for it, a 25mm f1.4 CCTV lens, TTArtisan's 35mm and 50mm F0.95 which Im really having fun using on this camera, but since I dont have ML and an external monitor, focusing is becoming a big problem for distant subjects so I really do need to resolve those issues.
I've seen a YouTube video of someone setting up an anamorphic lens on an old VHS Camcorder, so I thought it would be a good idea to do a similar setup for this camera to give us the actual wide angle and the anamorphic characteristics for a cinematic video, especially with a gimble and a mattebox setup.
Im sure, if the compositions are good and I use those things and the diffusion filter and an ND, with some cool lighting, this camera can do killer work
Just using the mentioned lenses look beautiful, so I can imagine..

I was surprised how much more I liked the m50. I wanted to love the eos m but there was a lot of lost resolution that made it feel lower quality. the bm4k was the sharpest but that was expected.

I think one has to really have specific use cases for the eos m to shine. You really have to choose the right glass and nail your lighting

Excuse me I have a question, there’s just some resolutions or just my version of magic lantern doesn’t play my videos on my camera??

[tobiaslofi]

is there a way to get this Eos m look but not RAW but as mp4? For YouTube that should be enough for me...

[nahshonmiller]

are you using ML on your M50? If so which version firmware are you running?

[ravisharma]

M50 looks razor sharp.. EOS M looks great for that Cinema / old school movie look. Not sure if it's a viable option for YouTube content due to lack of AF & 4k resolution. I been playing around with my EOS M, unfortunately I find too many artifacts and a very soft picture.. to the point my Lenovo gaming mobile produces much better plug and play crystal clear 4k video.

Dare I say the bmpcc4k looks the worst. I like the m50 sharpness but generally the eosm looks the nicest.
