Canon M50 Review (The Ultimate Vlogging Camera?)

Canon M50 Review (The Ultimate Vlogging Camera?)

I've been hoarding gear for the last 20 years, and although the list of things I want continues to grow, I try to make it a point to get rid of things I don't really use.

Because I'm trying to keep things lean, new gear has to fit into my workflow nearly perfectly to make the cut, so I was pretty picky when I started looking for a camera geared towards vlogging.

  • Under $500
  • Compact and light weight
  • 1080p at 60fps (4K at 24fps as a bonus)
  • Flip out screen
  • External mic support
  • Good auto focus
  • Good low light performance

I usually shoot with a Sony a7R III, so I was hoping to find a Sony camera that worked, but decided to try out the Canon M50 mirrorless first.

It meets all my expectations on paper, but does it live up to the hype? Is this the ultimate camera for vlogging and YouTube?
