Is the Canon EOS M50 still worth buying?

Yes for beginners and casual shooters who want a small camera with fast autofocus and a flip screen. Its 4K limits and the small EF-M lens lineup make it less appealing for serious video or lens-heavy users.

Does the M50 shoot 4K video?

Yes, but 4K is cropped and uses contrast-detect autofocus. For smoother autofocus, shoot 1080p at up to 60fps.

The body, the EF-M 15-45mm kit lens, battery, charger and strap. A memory card is not included.

Can I use Canon EF lenses on the M50?

Yes, with the Canon EF-EOS M mount adapter, sold separately. EF-S lenses also work through the same adapter.

How does the M50 compare to the M50 Mark II?

The Mark II adds eye autofocus in video, a better YouTube live-streaming mode and minor tweaks. Image quality and the sensor are essentially the same, so the original M50 is the better value.

Does the M50 have image stabilization?

The body has no in-body stabilization. The 15-45mm kit lens has optical stabilization, which steadies handheld stills and video.

About the Canon EOS M50 Mirrorless Camera with 15-45mm Lens

The EOS M50 is Canon's 24.1MP APS-C mirrorless camera from 2018, sold with the 15-45mm kit zoom. It stands out for its 3-inch vari-angle touchscreen, built-in electronic viewfinder, Dual Pixel autofocus and 4K video, all in a small body with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. It sits at the entry level of Canon's mirrorless line, where rivals offer stronger video specs and larger lens systems but rarely both an EVF and a flip screen in one small body.
