@@deannapak go to the camera website and look for software updates... download and store the file on PC... and connect the camera and transfer it and install it on your camera...
Appreciate the kind words! Be sure to check out Gordon Laing's review if you haven't already. Thought he did a really great job ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-72bWNI6n9tk.html.
M6 mk2 seems a really good camera, but for me, there's no real reason to change my M50 to this. Software features (timelapse, electronic shutter) can be upgradeable in M50 too. Missing buttons, dials of course not replaceable, but I don't need them. Because a few amounts of changing settings I use daily. The flash in both camears has a limited usability,ifI you want to use flash for various cases, you might to buy a better flash. Finally, EVF is priceless for me. If I'd need it to M6 mk2, I'll have to buy it separately.
how do you not have more subs !!! amazing video I'm trying to upgrade my camera for RU-vid I had the canon g7x Mark 2. Then I purchased the sony ax-53 camcorder That thing was amazing, but it couldn't focus in low light so I sold that now im going back and fourth between the sony z-v1 and the canon m50 or canon m6 mark 2. Thank you for the video subbed!!!
Your video here was so good, everyone else talked about all the same commonly known stuff and you were almost 11 minutes into this before you were not bringing up new things !!!
1. the M50 can also switch between auto focus and manual with a button on the back dial. 2. the M50 can shoot electronic (silent)shutter; they just hid it in the SCN dial. I like the idea of the little bounce flash on the M6 II, but I tend not to use flash with my M50 anyway. The only reason I would upgrade is for the 120fps at 1080. I've shot a few music videos with my M50, and have gotten away with 120fps at 720p... LOOOL
My mistake for not realizing the M50 has the silent shutter mode in the SCN dial. I assumed it wasn't there since I never saw it in the menu. Should have done a google search before posting just to be sure. That said, since it limits the camera to auto exposure I'm not sure I would have used it much even if I had known it was there.
@@benbjurstrom Yes. Not sure why Canon hid the feature, and like you say it is pretty limited. Having said that, it has come in handy from time-to-time when shooting streetphotography on the bus or train, and even sometimes at events. I take it the silent shutter on the M6 II more advanced?…
I recently bought the M50 (was initially going for the A6500 but my budget didn't quite get there and almost bought the Lumix Gx85 but there were shipping issues and I was refunded) so far I think it's a happy accident cause I like it! But then again I only tried it at home during quarantine lol; I still have to experiment outdoors with it.
Hi Ben, great review. This is exactly at the right time for me. I doubted between the M50 and the M6II but now my doubt is over, I will definitely go for the M6II. Thank you man 👍
I might be making this move too...The M50 is my first camera that got me into this game. Love shooting with it so much but as I wanted to do more things, so many times i had the "aw man" moment realizing the feature i wanted is not available on my M50. The M6 MKII has all the stuff I wanted but missing from the M50. However the lack of flippy screen is kind of big deal for me. I use it a lot when doing low or high portrait orientation shots. Also it should be useful when mounted on a gimal.
Great video. Definitely a great camera now that we have the Sigma Trio and 24p via update. For me though, I’m waiting for M50 MK II hopefully. I love my EVF for photography and flip out screen for blogging. But the biggest factor for me is that the M50 is so much more affordable. I would hope that if a M50 MK II comes out it will maintain the same price point. I would hope they add a 2nd control dial for it, but if not, I’ve been able to live with it as I grew up with the Rebel series. But the M6 MK II is definitely a beast and hopefully will get more 3rd party accessory makes to look into EF-M. I want EF-M to continue on.
Great review, thanks! I've moved from A6000 to M50 last year (I'm VERY cheap on gear), but the AF performance is not great. Not sure if moving 'up, but back' to 7d m2 makes sense, but with wildlife I mostly use the viewfinder... I would love the quick settings changes with the extra dials in the very same situations though... why does Canon make it so hard with the trade-offs and can't make the body a bit bigger to include a Sony a6* style EVF or a pop-up EVF... not sure if I want the extra bulk of 90D and neither the AF versatility/settings of 7D2, nor the upgraded Dual focus AF (talking about the EVF situation in both cases and acknowledging the difference in AF tech). I hope it makes sense :)
I’m gonna upgrade from M-50. I never use EVF. I hate the swivel screen on M-50-HATE IT. I want the screen in line with lens. Plus it feels like one wrong move, it’ll snap off. Plus better specs. Now if Canon will create a full spectrum of lenses (come -on!) And why doesn’t firmware support in camera multi-exposure?????? The 5DMk3 onwards has the best in the business. It would be VERY HELPFUL for creatives to have this capability. Please Canon, we like your cameras, make each release as thorough and complete as possible, you’ll win in the long run (think Fuji).
Loved my M50. The single dial drove me a little nuts, and the no DPAF 4k sucked. Got rid of it and got A6400 which has been great. That M60 M2 is really nice.
@@cammac66 You think its overrated really? Its a good value and takes great pictures and the video is quite good. The handling and menus are subpar of course though.
Liquid Valium hey man I got question, I’ve been thinking of doing the same, selling my m50 for the 6400, what worries me the most though is the small batteries and some people say shaky footage for stuff like vlogs. What’s your opinion?
@@mirrorlessmemory The video quality is far superior on the A6400. As the 4K out of it is crazy sharp. The picture profiles are great as well. You must use an OSS lens. If you do it will be reasonably good. If you want silky smooth stable though you have to use a gimbal. Frankly, the stabilization on an A6400 with an OSS lens, is very similar to the M50 with a Canon IS lens, For your mic add a $15 small rig cold shoe mount, and you can put mic to the side, and flip up the screen. The A6400 really is far superior to the M50 in many ways. That said, the ease of use of the Canon is easier to grasp quickly, and the Canon menus are the best hands down.
Very good review, this the only review that dig that much into m6 ii. I found more reason to get this camera. I'm currently using m50, and I'm planning to add a second camera. But I do wish it's have the tilt swivel screen, I always use it.
Great review! 24p is on its way... I'm about ready to buy, Im torn between the 15-45 vs 18-150 kit lens. (I'll probably have both eventually anyway). BUT that 32mm (f1.4) will be my first get after the kit. I'm glad that you spoke favorable about the electronic/digital stabilization. I have hopes that (hand held) video with the 32mm (no IS) can be acceptable.
I was about to buy the M6 Mk II for those times I don't want to lug around my 5D Mk III, so thanks for the reassurance. I have not seen a bad review yet, and DPReview like it as well :-)
Exactly my thoughts that the m6m2 is coming close to higher end full frame canon. But, samsung phones now $700 10+ or $1200 3 lense 20+, ibis stabilized phone can give always with me pics capability. Especially since the canon eos r was such a bad attempt at full frame, and with a new mount. And, surprisingly, watching youtube on my samsung phone now, selectively chosen content, imparts way more real knowledge that my expensive college years
after 1 years i sell my m50, this camera is really good for photo and video vlog, but i realy dont like the grip at least for my hand, and the build quality like plastic, dual pixel autofocus is amazing and image quality in low light amazing too, thank u my m50 for 1 years :}
It flips up so you can still see it , has better 4K Focus and no 4K crop. If you aren’t doing video and you are only worried about photos there are better options than any of the M series cameras.
Rexx Reviews what would you say was better in a similar price range? I have an M50 which is a great camera but curious as to what would be better without paying a silly price as I am not interested in video
I got the m50 for vlogging and I love it. I’m not a fan of the Mark series for that reason. You also didn’t discuss screen sizes and swivel features. I do like the usb type c power charge in camera but that won’t make the sale for me on the mk2.
Upgrades are good if thé improvements are needed. To upgrade for features that you don't use obviously doesn't make sense. Some people upgrade just to have a "better" camera and end up regretting it because they realize, in this case, that they could have bought a few lenses or one insane lens instead. Think about the lens that you could buy for 1500 bucks and slap onto your m50 Instead of upgrading to an m6 and getting nothing that you really missed instead. I think that my m50 is so good and takes such great video and decent photos that all I dream of is lenses, like one of those amazing téléphotos for wildlife photography. Oh boy, oh boy. Or you could get another m50. There are some very cool things you can do with 2 cameras. Compared to spending for an m6, you would still have enough left over for a $600 lens. I will upgrade cameras only when I really need to and have the cash to spend easily.
EOS M50 does also have an electronic shutter but it is rather limited on functionality. To me it annoys most that you cannot use the AWB-W setting (you can shoot in raw and develop in camera with AWB-W though). The electronic shutter is in the SCN-setting. That speed setting is nice. EOS M50 on P does not go below 1/60s, nice with the 22 mm but way too fast with IS. EOS M was just the opposite as it went to 1/30. I think they should automatically base that on the lens. I was considered M6 in 2017. I could not make my mind between M6 and M3 and I ended buying G9 X Mark II. When I saw the M50 I wondered the single wheel but IMO touch and use the wheel works nice enough.
good video and info. I've got the m50 mkii and I love it for stills and mostly love the video it produces. The big crop at 4k would be an issue except most of my 4k video is wildlife and zoomed way in on distant subjects so the crop hasn't really been as problem for me
i love the tilty twisty screen (which you didn't mention, tho' you did briefly show the m6II's less useful tilty one!) & the evf of my m50. i'll stick with it for now!
I'll be sticking to my M50 for now. I need an EVF and the clip on one adds cost and bulk. And one can't use the EVF and external flash at the same time.
Guess just being older enjoy the shutter sound it is satisfying and let me and the people the picture was taken. But I am a hold over from the film days
Really interesting review and affirms my decision to buy one, not yet received. One odd thing though, all reviews talk about the lack of 24p but page 11 of the Canon Supplemental Information booklet that comes with the User Guide states that it supports 24p. Has 24p been added by a firmware upgrade? Also why is 24p such a big deal especially when you have 25p and 29.97p (according to the printed specification).
Yeah.. The digital is in m50 is really suck, unusable, it's warping so weird. I hope that someone can upload the sample of digital is from m6 ii. But judging from this video it look pretty good.
This is admittedly a weird question. Does the M6 let you select to shoot in the same crop as the M50 (I cant remember what it is in millimeters) and still get 4K? I ask because I use the M50 with some lenses that vignette with larger sensors. I’d love it if when you pick from the dimensions you want to shoot on the M6, the M50s crop size would be available too. Thanks for your thoughts!
*subbed* much love from Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦 I’ve been waiting for this video I came from the SL2! Still deciding between the eos R or RP or the m6 or 90d but the best camera ur right it’s the one you have with you!
I don't color grade and I don't use 4k so I don't think it matters but I do like the idea of the RP and the m6ii they both use the same battery which is awesome 👌
Was at the coast in a storm, we have a haystack rock there so I set the mk2 up and ran some footage. Was able to stop up nicely to get the waves, rock detail and grass waving when the weather broke. Lots of fun! Need to get the remote working, thanks for askung - Mark
Looking for a second camera for interviews. Good insight about astro and shooting in 24FPS, or lack thereof... Might get it as a second camera, unless you can recommend another. Pretty lame how Canon limits their cameras- makes me almost want to switch to a sony.
Agreed...I'm torn between Sony and Canon, Fuji is not far away from the corners of my mind either. However, after watching a lot of videos and reading comments, people seemed a little disappointed or frustrated with some of Canon's choices and limitations 😕.
Actually I find the M50 to be much more usable camera...I have had both and really don’t need those little extra’s for great stills and video...the missing viewfinder add on deal sucks but and articulating screen on the 50 wins for me...you don’t use a viewfinder, you must be a digital newbie....good comparison though... you’ll miss the m50 when you sell it 😎I sold my M6Mll
I'm with ya I was debating too but I'm definitely one for always using the viewfinder n I def won't use that cheap bounce flash that looks so cheap it could break lol
I know this camera is way better than the M50, however if you’re a vlogger and want to use an external mic, the flip screen isn’t great cos it only flips up so the mic will make the flipping screen become useless. While the M50 flips to the side which allows you to put a nice external mic on the top of the camera. Conclusion, it wouldn’t be a better investment as the m50 is for vloggers. Anyway, thanks for the information bro
Nice upgrade ! The M series of Canon is the best : compact, cheap (I mean especially the lenses) and light ! I’ve got the M5 but I will get the M6 mk 2 in two years when it will be cheaper.
@@escamunicha4276 I don't mind because RF lenses are too expensive for my need. And most people want an alternative to expensive lenses that's why M lenses won't die soon. Also I don't think Canon need to invest to much for M lenses because amateur don't have a lot of lenses (and don't need it too). Laowa 9mm f2.8 Samyang 12mm f2 Sigma 16mm f1.4 Canon EF-M 22mm f2 Canon EF-M 28mm f3.5 macro Sigma 30mm f1.4 Canon EF-M 32mm f1.4 Sigma 56mm f1.4 Canon EF-M 11-22mm, 15-45mm, 18-55mm, 18-150mm, 55-200mm (slow aperture) All theses lenses are less than 500€. And with the adaptor you can add all the EF-S and EF lenses you want (that include Tamron and Sigma). So it's perfect :) And long live EOS M system :D. And all the other system and brand !
I cannot take this review seriously if the footage used is constantly out of focus. It lacks the professionalism and makes people think that you don't know what you're talking about. I mean, you present a product and it is constantly out of focus? Too hard to watch the video without bugging me, sorry
thx for vid review although the no viewfinder HUGE let down for me I'm a viewfinder photographer for sure I shoot handheld alot . so even though so features little better I can suffice with no evf
The Canon M50 doesn’t have clean HDMI out on it. You have to turn off the info and set it into Manual Focus to get a clean signal out for, the HDMI port, or else you get all of the onscreen display info. From what I hear, the M50 Mark II does have clean HDMI out though, just not the original M50.
No it isn't. It doesn't use the high voltage of PD, charge any faster, or offer any real benefits. On a low power camera, PD is inferior as it shuts off the convenience of charging from a non-PD charger. This is not a laptop or a fast charging phone. Quit making excuses for Canon's stupidity.
@@princeding2114 you are contradicting yourself. A camera is not "high power". The battery literally cannot charge at a high voltage without overheating. It's like the stupid never ends with you people.
I know this video is a year old and maybe you won't see this comment, but I am in the same exact position as you were. Have the Canon M50 and I now upgraded. My question is this: how did you sell your M50? Where should I, in your opinion? And what would be a good price for a used but excellent condition M50? Any advice would be appreciated.
Have you used the 30fps raw burst? Can you set the shutter to a lower speed like 1/10 and still utilize the pre-burst feature from the raw burst? And can you extend the pre-burst to something longer than 0.5s? How much better is the image quality compared to your RX100? Because I've used both the M100 and original M6 (both should be comparable to the 24MP M50) and didn't find the images that much better than an RX100 VA. I'm debating whether to get the G7X III (similar to the RX100 VA in picture quality) or the M6 II, which from what I can tell, is a noticeable jump from the last generation M100/M6/M50 with an extra stop of ISO performance and higher resolution. Also strongly disagree on your thoughts about USB-C on the Canon. Almost none of my devices support PD and I can't even charge it when plugging in to a regular USB port on a computer which uses a standard 5V. You don't need the higher voltage from PD and none of the external canon battery chargers they bundle even exceed 5V,. The PD is just a money grab. You can't even power any canon cameras with their PD adapter. It's charge only, even on the EOS R. So the extra voltage is a complete waste.
Thanks for the tutorial I just actually purchased the M50 but didn’t see much of a difference and I personally don’t like taking photos just looking at a screen but like that I have the option of both.
Thanks for the helpful video man! I’m kinda set on the m50 but the only thing that’s holding me back is the 4K cropping situation...but not sure I can compromise the extra cost and lack of a fully articulating screen...
Hey not sure if you made your decision yet but Viltrox makes a speed booster that basically takes that crop away AND let's in more light. So its pretty cool and not super expensive. 150.00
@@Rahul-g8x I'm curious why you think a flip up is better than flip out screen? The issue I have with the M6 is that the flip up screen makes using the hotshoe for a mic or flash impossible. The articulating screen on the M50 seems a lot more versatile, especially for video.
@@TomWhoASMR because its easy to see the screen will be just above the lens. On flip out the we have to look sideways of the lens that doesn't look well in videos
@@Rahul-g8x you're both right. I prefer flip up too, but that does negate the use of a flash unit. With a mic it's irrelevant as you can always get a cold shoe relocater.
Hi Ben, nice comparison review! At 1:50 you were describing how you liked that the M6 Mark II has a manual/auto focus switch. Does the Canon M50 not have the ability to switch from manual to auto and back? How is it done on the M50? Could you please elaborate on this alittle more? Thanks! I am currently deciding between the M50 and the M6 Mark II as my first camera as a beginner.
M50's built in EVF makes it $150 cheaper right from the beggining, especially if you still want to use the hot shoe for anything and even more so if you want to bundle discount the EFS lens adaptor from a place like B&H. Imagine spending $300 more to get those two add ons... Does that evf compare to OVF for manual focusing Low F macro? Also can you elaborate on manual focus mode with the M50? Do you really have to use the camera menu, no dedicated button?
Aoi Kemono a new m50 can be bought at $567 right now. $1099 for the m6 II with the same kit lens? $532. Id rather buy a new m50 and another m50 body + 22m EF M.
Aoi Kemono if you meant m6 to m6 II then maybe. But a great point is the EF M line glass not being high quality enough for the new sensor too. Until you adapt to EF / L glass.
I've enjoyed your insights but can you please advise me on the following - for a beginner youtube video maker if you'd choose a camera mainly used for youtube videos (80% time for video, 20% for photos) and considering these prices on ebay UK for NEW M6 Mark ii are about-ish $775 (camera + kit) and for NEW EOS M50 on ebay UK are about-ish $570 (camera + kit), which camera would you finally choose? Assuming it is M6 mark ii, does it rise up to its price tag, is it worth the money difference in terms of its new features? PS, I was also contemplating again for youtube videos an used sony A6400 with stock kit on ebay at the same price as a new M6 mark ii but the price of sony lenses really scary me and not sure if it is worth it? I'm looking forward to making this decision in the following days and your comment would be very much appreciated, in a nutshell I'm torn between the models above and I just want to make a decision that would yield best price/value ratio while providing innovation in terms of camera features. Anyone reading this comment that knows a thing or two about above cameras can also comment it will mean a lot to me. Thank you in advance! Have a good one fellow youtubers and aspiring youtubers. :D
So when selling your gear, where do you sell... I'm planning to sell a lot of my gear when the R5/R6 gets released. What type of loss should one expect? I have a 7dii and finally want to go full frame. Thanks for your feedback.
Never liked the m50. But love my m6markii. I got an evf on my m6markii and love it. By the way update the firmware in the m6markii and you get 24 frames in 4k.
