Canon M50 vs Sony ZV-E10 vs iPhone 13 Pro - For Beginners

Today I look at the Canon M50, the Sony ZV-E10 and the iPhone 13 Pro in direct comparison of the auto settings that beginners will likely need when they are starting out. What you need in a camera depends on what you want to shoot and how you want to grow as a photographer or filmmaker.

These are so much better than the dozens of channels just riffing off specs and talking about basic stuff nearly anybody can just assume given the specs. These real world tests reveal SO much more that people will actually encounter.

I'm only 1 minute into the video and just seeing the cuts from each camera I'm already blown away by the zv e10. Seriously love my little dougie

Not sure if you monitor these comments, but I just wanted to thank you for all of your videos on entry-level cameras. Beats the hell out of perusing forum posts, and has ultimately led me to the decision to go with the Sony ZV-E10. The time and effort put into this video (and others) is definitely appreciated! Cheers!

The Sony was hands-down the winner for me, especially in video. Even in camera mode, it has a slight bloom which is perfect for portraits and light sources. This was surprising.

As a beginner, I really like the photos taken by the M50. Looks really professional out of the box. Just a shame that the 4k video is extremely inconsistent, since I'll be using it for videos as well.

[RidgewayInMedia]

How do you not have way more subscribers. If there’s any justices in the world you’ll be over 100k soon. Love the delivery and style. The content is great as well. Kudos.

For the Color Science and the Menu (user experience) Points goes to Canon. But for overall better camera I would go with Sony with better/ faster Auto focus and webcam capabilities right out the box & not to mention the downsampling of 6k to 4k - also better lens range for me (in Pakistan)

This is an older video but thanks for the comparison! I know most people are saying the M50 is at a disadvantage because it can’t produce reliable 4k but I’ve noticed that most of YouTube still shoots in 1080p and I’ve heard the average vlogger refer to the M50 as a camera with better quality than the g7x. I’ve been shooting with the M50 for 3 years and I still think it’s a great little camera! And now that it’s older the used market has them selling for around $400 😊 For a hobbyist I think it’s great for the price now.

Man these tests are so informative. Nothing can beat these real world tests. You got my sub

While I now use the Sony A7IV, my first camera (that was not a cell phone) was the M50. The Sigma 16 and the Canon 32 1.4 gave me really good video, imo. Yes, the whole 4K issue sucks, and the battery life is not great, but it’s a very good camera for enthusiasts who don’t want to schill out thousands of dollars.
Great job on the video—that definitely must have been a pain to edit!!

Your humor just makes videos stand out in crowd ! ♥

[HaileyC.]

this is actually the comparison I needed!! Thank you!

[marijapetrovic]

You sir just blew up the internet! This was splendid comparison, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot!

[workingwiththelight]

I am happy with my Canon M50. You just confirmed that I made the right choice couple years ago.

[haischool]

I like this camera channel. Unbiased review and he puts in a lot of work into the videos.

[ElBoyoElectronico]

Interesting comparison! The M50 still looks quite good imo. Currently the ZV-E10 is smartest choice by far, especially when you take the lens ecosystem into account. Your test clearly shows the main differences between a smartphone vs aps-c vs fullframe camera.

[vvlad]

Great comparison, man! I'd choose M50 + Sigma 16mm due it's better colors and usable 1080p.

[kllaskas]

my favorite new youtuber i discovered. on par with the hybrid shooter imo

[mbrfqkq]

This is the kind of video I’ve been looking for. Thank you for getting the assignment!!!!

Hey Mark, great videos, really helpful. I have been using my iPhone to create content on my channel for over 10 years and I don’t think it has lost me any subscribers, I’m of the opinion, that content is what matters. Having said that there is an amateur look with phones, ie no bokeh etc which really does bring something to the table. I know I have to upgrade at some stage, but I am really going to miss how convenient my phone is, ie audio directly in, no syncing necessary etc, no real camera knowledge required. Honestly I don’t have the time to study photography, but I need to up the production. I’ve heard so many good things about the Sony and would like to go that route. Can you advise me on some of the basics I would need to know, to get started ? Problem with YouTube can be that you make your mind up on one thing and then you come across lots of others saying don’t get that get this ! Anyways thanks for this really helpful.
