I have m50 I and sigma 56 1.4 and to be honest Ive tried canon RP/R/5D IV and sony a6400 and 6600 and I live my m50. Its not for everything but for portraits and stable video its freaking awesome. ANd the price is so jucy. I wanted the upgrade many times and always came back.
M50 works for me, had a T5i before the M50, with adapter ($35) added 5 lenses to M50! Purchased two manual lenses when used with monitor with focus peaking, works great!
I also just upgraded from the M50 to the R50. I used the M50 with my two prime lenses, the nifty fifty and the pancake 22mm. I love both those lenses. Fortunately, I was able to buy both the R50 and an RF 50mm lens. I shot my last episode on the R50 with that lens. Now I just have to save up to get the RF 24mm.
@@pricklypearcamera Hopefully you mean camera path and not cancer path. I don't recommend the cancer path to anyone. Also, make sure you and all the men in your family are getting their PSA checked. I'll hold off on the RF 24mm until I watch your review of the RF 35mm. A lot of videos indicate it might be the way to go, even with the 1.6 crop from the R50.
Of course not, cancer- My wife just recovered from stage 3 breast cancer with chemo, radiation, and surgery, was a long two years. Best of luck to you! @@ProstateCancerTRtR
Oh, holy crap. Yeah, then you know what's involved in this battle. Again, thank you for the video and I look forward to the 35mm video. I hope your wife stays recovered!@@pricklypearcamera
I am planning moving to Sony instead... Sony a7iii or probably A6400... But i still love canon profile picture which it has nice color straight out from camera! A great advantage!
Congrats on the upgrade! I think a lot of M50 users are unable to upgrade to R50 because they've invested a lot in M mount lenses and they won't be compatible. I'm lucky to have sold it off for an RP before Canon bailed on the M mount.
Issue is not only that those lenses are incompatible but new kit RF is worse them EFM and those big RF lenses are so expensive it cost like 3 or 4 times more than 1 EFM lens that's not normal for hobby entry level people ... not to mention there is more EFM lenses to choose from than from those cheaper RFs they made and on top of it cannon blocking 3rd party companies like sigma from making affordable lenses for RF mount well that's reason why not to upgrade ... those few upgrades what R50 offers are nice but everything else is wrong and against consumer who is taking video/photo on a hobby level
Hey! So I hate to be that guy, but there are some pretty big inaccuracies in this video. 1. the canon made EF-RF adapter not only allows auto focus for EF lenses, but in some cases they work better than they did on EF cameras. Use third party adapters at your own risk. the canon made adapter is $100. 2. Sigma made lenses for the EF-m mount
Hey #reachfilms, 1.) Fair point, have not tested the ef-rf Canon adapter, but did have autofocus issues with the canon branded EF-EOS M adapter utilizing canon EF lenses 2.) Good callout- Sigma did make 3 EF-M mount lenses for the EF-M, a 16, 30 and 56mm, they run from $325-400, my bad on the omission.
@@pricklypearcamera yeah the adapter for the eos-m was a COMPLETELY different animal. Right now since there are not many RF-S lenses whatsoever canon actually recommends to use their adapter with EF lenses for now since they perform so well
I currently have the M50 mkii because it was the only thing a available at the time, and with the viltrox speed booster it has honestly pulled its weight in the stills department (please note that I mainly shoot car and skate photography)
@@pricklypearcamera So far I’ve borrowed a 50 f1.4 from a friend and it’s done wonders for image quality. I’m looking into getting the 50 f1.8 stm for general purposes and then a used 70-200 f2.8 because I usually end up shooting the kit lens all at the far end
This is a great comparison video I think I’ll be upgrading from my rather old 700d to the R50 I take it I’ll need an adapter for my Sigma 2:8 lens many thanks from the UK 🇬🇧
Still my canon M50 kit lens start ar 15mm and yours at 18mm. For me that wider lens is more useful. It's sad that canon converted several m mount lenses to rfs but not the kit lens with so useful 15-45mm range.
I'm highly considering upgrade my m50 to this camera. Essential for the UVC feature of the R50. However, I use a Sigma lens which I think it won't work with the R50 :(
I switched back to M50 as the R50 has no pancake lens (22mm). Next camera will be from Fujilfilm as Canon doesn't take APS-C shooters serious and offers just few RF-S lenses.
@@ProstateCancerTRtR yes, I currently use my R50 with 24mm prime and adapter (38mm equivalent). Unfortunately the camera get's bulkier but the quality is better than M50.
To be honest is pretty much the same camera with the digit x processor vs the 8 and a new mount. So you are only getting a few more frames and actual 4k. I would of personally upgraded at least to the R10 but ideally to the R7.
I know the ZV-1M2 isn't an interchangeable lense camera, but the product showcase and auto focus are fantastic. It also has a built in ND filter. I'd love to see a comparison against the R50.
Your comparing used, old technology prices to brand new tech new price. The M system is dead. Spend $300 more, get new and better results and lenses. Also, you didn’t mention how they changed the hot shoe and how it now requires a flash adapter to work with flashes.
Tbh the m50 Is a great camera and with adapters it doesn’t really lack anything I think if people feel they need more video features then I get it . Or maybe better low light features. But I think you can get really wide lenses on with adapters and I have the 18-150 kit Lense as one of my lenses and the that lense has always been super sharp. Although I know people like the camera for vlogging. I wonder why people don’t buy camcorders for vlogging. I wonder what a decent used camcorder goes for
I wish the Sigma prime lens I bought for the M50 had an adapter for the R50 - if you know of one please let us know - great presentation I subscribed 😎
I haven't seen an adapter for it yet! But definitely will if I see one- BTW Billy-really great channel! I am listening to your podcast with Donika Gunther right now- inspiring story, and having to learn the language/culture from the ground up would be so hard!
Thanks for the details. I'm beginner and don't want to spend on lenses right now but want to take good travel photos n videos so is R50 kit lens is good enough or should i consider sony zv e10 or mark 2 with kit lens?
I use a G85 occasionally as a third camera with a panny 35-100mm lens, great camera, does seem to have more heat issues from my personal experience than the R50. I do rather enjoy it though.
Get the sigma RFS 1.4 trio! Oh that’s why I switched to sony from the M50. Hope Canon opens its system before its to lake and get left further behind! Get video
Nice-thanks for the tips, I had been mainly looking at Canon, but just checked out the Sigma's and they look great. I have heard some rumor about canon potentially opening up so hopefully?
A lot of people still can’t load 4K on RU-vid I almost never watch 4K because it’s compressed and shitty on RU-vid anyway The interesting thing about the r50 is size but I think I’m going Sony once I get tired of the m line the r50 is too big
I bought m50 mark2 a few weeks ago with kit 15 mm f3,5. It's be 24 mm on xcrop 1.6. So l took 50 mm f1,8 (80 mm on crop) an 24 mm f 2.8(38 mm.on crop) I think you can take these focus with RF or Rf--s.
That's great, have a good time using it! I would recommend K&F's 49mm ND filter for a budget filter, I believe it's around $25-30 on Amazon, and if you're looking for premium, I've used breakthrough ND's on other lenses, and they're awesome, but also rather spendy, around $125 I think for a 49mm.
Does the R50 mic input jack have true stereo input for stereo mics? The m50 was supposed to have this, but I guess it was a firmware issue and never got fixed, but it's clearly advertised as stereo on the specifcations, but only does Mono input.
I have M50ii and I am thinking more about the R8 than the R50 but I don't know if the extra $700 will be worth it. I only have the 22mm pancake lens and a manual 17mm AArtisan lens. I really need a better faster auto focus switching. Does the R50 have 30mins video recording limit?
60 min recording limit on the R50, and I have really liked the auto focus switching so far... I am not too familiar with the R8 so couldn't really say on that front.
@@pricklypearcamera thanks for the reply. Does R50 have clean HDMI out? Does USB C charging work while recording video? If yes, does it quickly over heat? I am thinking of upgrading my M50ii instead of buying sigma 16mm f1.4 but the lack of RF lens especially from 3rd party and cheaper options from Canon. I may go for R50 and start building up RF/full-frame lenses from there
Yeah, it has "Time lapse" you can enable in the settings, not sure what max recording length is, and I have not tried, but looks interesting! There are a number of time lapse videos on youtube taken with the R50.
I haven't noticed any noise personally. I also haven't seen any Canon branded or aftermarket battery grips for the R50, just some handstraps, maybe someone out there can enlighten us?
That is incorrect. The lenses are so good that only using the centre of the lenses is absolutely fine, even on the demanding R7. One weird experience I had was my EF version of the Samyang 85mm 1.4 AF is noticeably softer than the Canon EF 85mm 1.8 USM lens on my FF RP. However, on my R7, they switched and the Samyang is sharper (even at 1.4) than my Canon at 1.8.
