I'm very happy with the camera I bought. I'm still learning how to take good pics but the features of this one are excellent, i use in all my social medias contents. Excellent vids and audio quality. And the price is great.

There's no intervelometer support, even through Canon's awful app, however there is a third party app. It also is artificially limited by it's built in firmware, limiting exposure time to 30s and that cannot be exceeded, at all, even with third party apps. There are so few EF-M lenses and Canon's first party adapter is ridiculously expensive. Overall it's just a mediocre camera that's intentionally, artificially limited.

Recently purchased it and have been snapping away! I've had some practice in the past before with the exact camera but in white for work, now, I have one to call my own. I have experience with other well-known brands, but I always find my way back to Canon products. This M50 Mark II is very lightweight and easy to use. The WiFi accessibility for transferring images is by far one of my favorite features. Good well-rounded camera with a quick shutter speed.

Great beginner camera. Its compact size is perfect for on-the-go shooting, and always delivers sharp and vibrant photos. The autofocus is a real standout, especially with eye detection - makes sure my subjects are always in focus. Love the vari-angle touchscreen - it's a game-changer for framing shots, and it's so easy to use. The 4K video is a nice touch, but the crop factor is a bit of a downside. Nonetheless, for everyday shooting and creating content, this camera is a winner! You can't beat the price.

Battery life is a bit short. Would like a lens with wider focus range.

Still figuring it out but happy with purchase! Rather new with the mirrorless cameras, so I started with this one.

I bought this because a vlogger on YouTube recommended it. I do not recommend. I don't have Wifi so I tried to connect it via USB cable. I downloaded the proper software and called customer support customer couldn't help. didn't't connect to my apple laptop. I spent my savings on this as my first camera. im really disappointed

I just used this camera to help a photographer friend shoot a wedding. I love it!! It is smaller than I expected it to be and lighter weight. The picture quality is so clear. I upgraded from a Canon Rebel T6i.

It has been a lot of fun learning how to use this camera, as it is my first upgrade from a standard phone camera. It is high quality and takes great picture and video. The microphone and neck strap are average quality but sufficient. Tripod is decent too. Overall would recommend.

I absolutely LOVE this M50 mark ii. I debated for do long between cameras. For my YouTube channel and occasionally taking photos at cat shows, family vacations, ect... the quality is great. Very easy to use. I paired with the sigma 16mm 1.4 lens and it's perfect for my videos giving me the nice blurry background. For the price, I don't think you can beat it!

I have been using it for six months and it has been a great camera for practically all the situations I've used it for, including both video and still photos of landscapes, waterfalls, portraits, parties, action, wildlife, sunsets, etc.

My name is Hunter Sopak, I run a photography brand called "Upper Lehigh Railfan". Despite multiple reviews about how its not really good with sports content, this camera does really well and blows my Nikon D3200 out of the water.

Love this camera, but I'm afraid Canon has killed it. It's tiny but has the same sensor as the older, huge, Canon dslrs. And despite its small size, has a large and comfortable grip. Lots of good lenses available for this, which is not true of Canon's new mirrorless apsc offerings.

A good camera for the price. I have used it for professional work. I would suggest getting extra batteries as the battery does not have enough life for a whole days shoot. You will get about 2 hours of footage per battery.

I needed a great quality camera that can match the performance of my 5D Mark IV. In the beginning I didn't do much research on this camera. It initially was a "this camera seems cool" type of thing until I purchased my first one. Right out of the box I learned how to use it quickly. The easy to follow instructions made me like this camera so much I purchased a second one! You will not regret purchasing this friendly, easy to use camera. I find this camera to be a must have for your arsenal.

I needed a camera that was lightweight and relatively inexpensive: the Canon M50 is both. All Canon cameras are easy to use and this one is no exception. When it comes to a beginner camera, the M50 checks all boxes but one. The lens variety is quite limited because they're mirrorless and small. A quick fix to this issue is to purchase an adaptor, which are priced fairly, so that you can use other normal Canon lenses. The Canon M50 is, no doubt, a great beginner camera. One bad thing is that the limits of this camera are reached far too soon. Not a bad starter nonetheless.

After doing the research I bought the m5 mark 2 on Google reviews and alot of videos on different cameras about 120 videos i decided on the mark 2 for all the features and tje quality. I'm very impressed because I've been a nikon man forever. I would buy this camera again....

Great out-of-the-box mirror-less camera. Perfect for on the go, beginner, or casual users. You will need a good lens and rig out to get it to a professional level. All around solid for the price.

The camera and the wireless remote are great but the microphone is useless. The kit is overpriced for the items that are included. You would be better off buying the camera separately and getting a different microphone. The kit lens is fine but I still had to buy a better lens. But I absolutely love my camera with the nifty fifty lens.

So happy with this camera. I moved to mirrorless from my Canon 60D. The camera is very comprehensive to use and great for amateur photographers. I?m using the camera for filming on a budget and it gets the job done. I?m happy with the effort this little machine puts out! Plus the white color is a nice change.

Great camera
By blaze83
I bought this camera about 2 months ago. I enjoy doing nature photography. It fits a wide variety of lenses with adapter mount. EF, EF-S, and EF-M. Only downside is there is no adapter currently out there for RF lenses (yet.
Great starter camera for photo/video
By WynP
Mark II offers cleaner HDMI and improved autofocus. It still offers great interface and specs of the Mark I. As a beginner personally I really like it! But cost is a concern I would recommend getting Mark I to get discounts.
