Canon M50 Mark ii vs Canon R50 - Which is Better?

Recently have been getting back into photography and came across your page. GREAT detailed review of each. I was on the fence between these two and the SL3 but after this review R50 all the way, subscribed. Keep up the awesome work my friend.

M50 ALL THE WAY

R50 does not support 3rd party lenses AND Flashes. you end up paying a fortune if you want fast lenses. Both of Them can use seamesly EF and EF-S DSLR lenses with the correct adapter.

i do wanna correct your statement on color for the cameras, it has 8 bit color specifically in jpeg file formats, it has 14 bit in RAW, while the r50 has 10 bit in both jpeg and RAW, making the m50 actually better if you use raw, but beginners dont use raw.

this is a bit of a more professional thing to say but if you really need other lenses just use some adapters. their expensive but a life saver.

But what about that R50 kit lens? Is it kinda mediocre, even for a kit lens? I am on the fence here. I feel most people will never have more than the kit lens, so that is kind of important.

Can I use my older canon lenses on the R50?

Great information

I would like to get one of these two cameras for videography and filmmaking, which one would you recommend?? I'm a little undecided even after watching the video :(

isn't all Canon M50 cameras discontinued?

Wider variety of lenses for the M-mount? Is that right? Is it just because the RF just came out? But also it looks like the R50 takes a wider range of lenses like the R mount... Am I missing something?

Hey,im a student. I want ro do 70% outdoor videography 20% indoor videography and 10% photography. What should i go for?R50 or M50? Or op3?

Out of these two which one is good for wildlife photography?

Bro which mic are you using?

The viewfinders resolution is the same as well as the magnification last time i checked like .. everywhere. They don't have the same sensor. The sensor in the R50 is the same as the one in the R10 and that is techically spoken a new sensor compared to M50 mk2 etc, but probably very comparable, this all is just peanuts .. . The big difference however is the Digic X and its auto modes / speed and 4K performance. I do not own other Canon M gear so for me and IMHO anyway, it is a TOTAL NO-BRAINER to go for the R50.

hey man , your audio gain is low.... a video with bad audio never gives a good experience. just compare the volume with any other good video

How's canon r50 comparing with sony a6100??
Is sony a6100 worth buying in 2023?
Or should I go for canon r50 or m50 mark ii?
Help me to choose my first camera!
Mainly want a entry level budget mirrorless camera for both photography and videography.

R50 all day!

The R50 is the M50 Mark III in RF terms

now that Canon have discontinued the "M" series, I guess the better one is the "R" series?

M series is discontinued, so its a orphaned system. On the other hand, you may be able to find bargains when the vendors start dumping their inventories, and users start selling them to move on to R series or another system.

What about the r50 battery ? The one on m50 sucks

Amazon had the white R50 for $640, so I got it to try.

I have been shooting real estate with the M50 and Laowa 9mm f/2.8 for over a year now. The Laowa is a powerhouse of a lens shooting real estate. It's 13.5mm full frame equivalent, and the 4k is actually usable, although I rarely have clients requesting it. But still nice to know the 4k is there when I need it. However, it's obviously inferior to the R50 and Laowa has the 9mm f/2.8 available in the RF mount. This will be a tremendous upgrade. As you mentioned, the RF lenses are much sharper and overall, just a superior lens.

I have my photos and videos edited by a professional, but with the R50's advanced technology of bracketing several photos with an immediate image is very impressive, and will definitely compare this with what comes back from my editor.

Additionally, the R50's low light capability is superior despite having the same sensor. Great for photos and getting the most hdr for videos. I have homes with poor natural light and occasionally have to shoot them on cloudy days. This is where the M50 really shows its limitations. However, I recently discovered an amazing custom picture profile that has helped greatly with getting the best hdr, virtually eliminating to greatly reducing blown out windows. This profile has improved the hdr, sharpness and saturation giving these real estate videos that much needed pop.

But, while it's a vast improvement for this camera, it doesn't compare to the R50, not even close.

This is the best comparison video I've seen on these two very capable cameras. Concise and articulate. 👍📷

What camera do u use

The M50 is beginner friendly. I've been shooting for years but I didn't want to lug around my DSLR rig for on the go daily driven random photography. Picked up the M50 Mark II and I was really impressed with the little guy.

What about autofocus during 4K video shoot?

You forgot to mention that the EF-M has been discontinued and virtually has no upgrade path, if you invest on an R50 and RF lenses you have PLENTY to upgrade to, like the R5 or even the Eos R RP.

I do car reviews.
I am very new to camera's as i have been using a gopro for my videos
Which of these would be better for me? Does anyone know?.

Thanks

I'm a beginner. I am a Hip hop artist and I want to start shooting my own videos. This video has helped me immensely thank you!

What the heck do you mean by saying the M mount has a wider variety of lenses?!?!? Are you on bad drugs?!? The M mount is an orphan with only 6 (or 8?) native lens from Canon, there are over 30 now for the RF mount. The M mount bodies are the absolute worst choice anyone could make today even for a used body! Yes, you can use EF/EF-S glass on the M50, but those same lenses can also be used on the R50. Five years ago the M50 was a good choice, but that was before we found out that Canon has abandoned the M mount. It is completely idiotic to buy an M mount camera today if you want to go mirrorless. I can't believe that you would tell anyone to do that today.

Which camera is better, the Canon EOS R50 or Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra ?

I've had the m50 mk 2 for 2 years using a speedbooster, 50mm 1.8 , and 70-200mm 2.8 lens. It does me wonder, I'd say. I got it mainly for the compactness. I'm not sure if i should upgrade. i know that's up to me to decide. Just want something good for dark/astro photography

For the price of the RF lenses ill rather go buy a full frame sensor camera... Or any sony that does uncropped 4k or 1080p 120fps

After watching all the comparison videos i bought the m50 mk2 for 600 with canon bag included through canons website. After learning of the r50's shortcomings versus the R8 if and when i get into the RF mount cameras it will be Full frame with more features than the R50. I got the m50 to compliment my pentax k70 and the autofucus on the m50 smashes the pentax to bits. The extra 200 went into another lense or the cage /rig accessories

Thank you for sharing.

If anyone wants to buy a perfect like new condition

m50 Camera

with 18-150 3.5-6.5 is stm (400 dollar lense )

And 22mm f2 stm (250 dollar lense )

With 2 canon batteries (120 dollar value)


For 900,
Lmk.

Looking to change setup .

Legenda rapida....

"Faster" and "Better" was quite redundant throughout the segment....especially when discussing 4K. The decision making comes down to cost.....deciding if you prefer an older version vs a newer version.

i'm staying with m50 cause there are cheaper native lenses and the camera body is almost same... for me i would rather have bigger selection of vide variety of lenses then to have 1 better lens which is 2-3time more expensive

You sold another R50 :D Thanks

I wasted my money on m2 and lenses…smh

please boost up your volume bro,

Very helpful, thank you.

R these good for photography photos?
