Pros: Lightweight, compact, handy, adjustable touch screen, fairly precise AF, good image quality for an APS-C

Cons: Battery (if kept screen on), unstable in settings, difficulty in the backlight

Opinion: She became my travel companion during most of my mountain outings (where keeping light is important, especially at my age), given her lightness accompanied by a decent quality of files that are obtained. It certainly doesn't achieve the quality of the more famous mirrorless R or Reflex D, but it does quite well considering that it is entry level camera. In addition to the very light M optics that allow a very low total weight, through the use of a special Canon EF/M adaptor you can use EF lenses while maintaining all the automatisms (to be taken into account that the output files are 1.6x since it is an APS-C camera). Of course, with EF optics it gains the quality of the image. One flaw I encountered is the settings, they change easily while using the camera without the operator noticing.

Pros: Value for money, weight, compactness, ergonomics, all the advantages of ML not present on relfex

Cons: An more ring would have been comfortable, 4k video.

Opinion: As far as it is expensive and compared to other cameras in the same range I consider it a good purchase. With the Ef lens adaptor you have access to the immense second-hand market, clearly with some of them you lose the balance, but I consider it a "non-problem" since the machine is not born intended for demanding professionals. The weight of the body alone is comparable to two smartphones, really light. Being very small it has the advantage of taking up little space in the backpack or bag. Now let's talk about ergonomics: I read everyone who makes a flaw out of it, but I have the impression that they have never tried other cameras with similar characteristics. I personally tried them all in a store and some of which I don't name literally slipped into my hand. With the m50 in my opinion you have the maximum with the same price and characteristics. If you have big hands you should consider buying a reflex or a larger mirrorless: if I were a man 2 meters tall, I wouldn't go and buy the fiat 500, but a bigger car, instead what I see are people 2 meters tall complaining about the fiat 500 which is too uncomfortable. I do not dwell on the other features such as af, focus peaking, customization of the evf, use of the screen as joystick, customization of the keys and all the news brought by ML in general. The crop of the 4k I consider it a big limit, if you want to take yourself back to make a vlog you necessarily need a wide angle a little pushed. Finally, I find key customization more flexible on this entry level than on R-series FF. Certain functions I had assigned to directional keys are not available in R-series that cost three times as much. This is a camera for those who do not want to give up interchangeable lenses, but want to have a quality not reachable from a smartphone and travel light. It's probably one of the best cameras for those who start with photography and don't want to spend a fortune.

Pros: Lightweight, compact, electronic viewfinder, adjustable display, lightweight lenses, quality-price

Cons: Lack of a second ring, sharpness and overall image quality, is an APS-C

Opinion: My first purchase that took me into the world of mirrorless. Possibility to create a kit with all the focals really with an affordable budget for everyone (from 11 to 200mm), without neglecting anything. It has pretty much everything you need for a photo-amateur or anyone who needs a lightweight, handy and durable machine body. I think I have brought to the limit the RAW that it generates, even with great satisfaction. The lenses of the EF-M series are well made, compact and easy to handle and for travelers it is a great advantage. To date, after 3 years for the budget spent I am very satisfied, but maybe I should have looked at the Sony APS-Cs of the 6000 series as well; With the same sensor, Sony brings out the highest level of images, sharper, more detailed and with a higher dynamic range. Be aware, however, that it is an entry level and the quality of the FF cannot be achieved in any case even by pushing the camera's hardware capabilities to the maximum.

Pros: Affordable price size also on used technical equipment

Cons: obviously it's an aps-c

Opinion: I'm not going to say i'm not a great professional of the shot or even reviews :-) I am a canon reflex owner and to put my feet in the mirrorless world I decided to buy used a Canon eos M50 that I have owned for a few days. I can say that the comfort of the technical equipment of AF and shooting are really pleasant and comfortable. I use this camera to take with me every day for a few street shots and I have to say it's super transportable. The quality of RAW images is that of canon's digic8, so in my opinion it's also fine for trips where you want to have a really light kit.

Pros: Illegal price quality ratio, convenience and compactness, general benefits

Cons: Missing a ring, battery life and unusable 4k

Opinion: Report of the machine after 2 years and 27,000 shots: it looks like a toy in hand, instead it is a battle mule. The sensor holds well up to 1600 iso (for me anyway the limit for each aps-c) and the dynamic range is excellent, with a little care you can also recover 3 stops to iso 100. Autofocus is great in both photos and videos, but in some cases it suffers as very contrasted backgrounds. In these situations, even if the tracking in the car seems to follow the subject correctly the fire will always fall in the background. I was surprised at the overall stability of the machine, I recorded for hours in the Sicilian sun in August, I mounted the worst third-party accrolings on the camera and never made a crease. Forget the 4k because it's like it's not there, you feel so much the lack of a second ring and get ready to buy 2 spare batteries. Overall very underrated machine but also great for the price.
