Thanks this really helped me out since I just bought it earlier this week!
Great to hear!
Currently using it now. I'm switching to Fujifilm soon, but I'll always appreciate what my M50 MK ii has done for my progression in photography and video. Great little camera 🤘
You will love Fuji for sure. Thanks for watching!
I've had the mark 2 for 2 years using a speedbooster, 50mm, and 70-200mm lens. It does me wonder, I'd say. I got it mainly for the compactness since i fly out a lot.
great review, and looking forward to watching more of your videos. I already have this camera, and have used minimally with an adapter and heavier lenses. I have been away from taking pictures for a bit. As I get older, I do not want to carry a heavy bag. What single lens would you recommend for a European city vacation? Thanks so much in advance!
Thank you! I was very impressed with the 15-40 kit lens I used in the review. The main downside is it's not very fast, but having a zoom on a vacation is always welcome if you are going from landscapes to portraits of family, for instance.
This was helpful, thank you. I intend to shoot my CZcams videos with it..
Glad to hear!
Saw someone selling the full kit like new with original box for 110€
They also have a speedbooster for sale
Time to buy it
I just purchased The M50 Mk II. This is my first ever camera, and this video gave me the assurance of its capabilities. Wish me luck!
Hope you enjoy it!
@@PeteCocoPhoto I appreciate it. :)
This camera has an amazing, no, an incredible array of features. So many options that it's overwhelming at first. To begin, you can just set it on the Auto setting and start taking pictures. I bought mine a year ago, but just started learning how to really use it a few weeks ago. There's somer great CZcams videos detailing how to set it up and use it. You bought a really nice camera!
Thank you @@kgriffith16! Im excited to hear that I have a lot of accessories and setting to work with.
Just got my m50ii yesterday and loving it
Awesome, enjoy!
How you enjoying it? Thinking about picking it up as a 2nd camera
@@luis.njr_ loving it! if you can get it at a good price go for it 😀
Is it good with the lense it comes with?
The M50 (1 amd 2) is one of the most underrated cameras on the market)
Just bought the Canon M50 mark ii, for $420 in like-new condition. Also bought a viltrox adapter to use my current ef and efs lenses :D I’m coming from an SL3.
Awesome!
I just bought mine used M50 like-new with a roll cage on it for $450 from a dedicated local Camera shop in Dallas. Holy shit it's insane how well built and snappy it is! I'm not too interested in Photography myself but taking pictures on a smartphone and trying to see the small details or zooming in when trying to take a picture always come out fucking garbage and it bothers me more than it should. Not saying that smartphone cameras are useless (I took some decent pictures with my Moto G5+ back in 2017 on COTA Race circuit) and can work in a pinch or casually but it's just not for me to take pictures on a smartphone. This is coming from a person who isn't dedicated to taking photos whenever I go all the time!
Good for in office Real Estate Content Creation? Thanks in advanced! And advice on accessories or lenses for that? Thanks!
Sure! You would want to get a wide angle lens. You should also check out the Canon R10, it's a larger sensor and different lens system but there are more lenses available for that system. With real estate you want a wide angle lens so you can get an entire room in the frame.
When you can get a manufacturer return straight from canon for under $400 yes…yes it’s worth it
This is a GREAT point!
Did you mean to talk of it like it’s not mirrorless? That was the main selling point for me! Also your accent brings me back to growing up in the tristate area :)
It's a great little camera!
A little late to the party. I recently found a love for photography and creating art. I don't have a camera now but looking at getting an M50 Mark ii. Would this be good if I just want to shoot photos or are there better options out there? Don't want to break the bank
This is a great budget option and offers a lot of value. I would also consider the Fujifilm mirrorless cameras as well.
I want to use this camera for use in livestreaming, as well as standard photography to use for Graphic design, would this be a good entry camera for me?
Sure it would be great for all of that. And it's a great price too.
Hey, I wanted a camera for traveling that can take good architectural photos and portrait photos. I came across the Canon R50, but it doesn't seem to take good architectural photos. Would this camera be a good choice?
It's more of the lens you choose than the camera but if you are looking for higher quality you should consider a full frame sensor.
Hello I used to have a canon m50 (original) and want to get something new to get back into photography. Should I get the m50 or r50? I don’t do a lot of video, just want something that does portrait really well. I loved my m50.
Both are great but if you were happy with the M50 the Mark II is very similar. The R50 has a wider lens selection though. You will love either one.
Would you recommend this camera for a beginner food vlogger? What lenses should I get with it? I am currently stuck between it and the Sony A6400 in terms of budget😂
Yes, this is a great vlogging camera. The kit lens is great because it has a zoom range too: amzn.to/3YH6I0M
Mines coming in a few days and this my first camera.
Congrats!
This was a great review!
I only came across this camera today and I’m looking to shoot gym content as I’m on online coach.
Currently have a EOS70d but this looks like a really simple solution
I’m lazy so I like to shoot in auto and just get real crisp images with nice bokeh- do you think this camera would suffice?
Also- I’d love to know your lens you’re filming with for your office review, that is fantastic !
Thanks! You can get nice bokeh for sure but this is more dependent on the lens. You need something with a wide aperture. Check out the sigma lenses for this camera like this one: bhpho.to/45QSH3M
@@PeteCocoPhoto Thanks for getting back to me! Really appreciate it! From what I have seen, a few gym guys shoot with a 16mm and Vlog with that also!
@@Fasttrackfitness1 Nice. That works too, just make sure you get a lens with a wide aperture (f/1.4, f/2.8) because this is what allows you to blur out the background.
I’ve had my camera for a yr now it’s great but what lenses do you recommend for all around photography and low light? Also what is a good camera for all around photography that I can upgrade to? I want a second camera
Sigma makes some fast prime lenses that you should check out. If you are upgrading, check out the Fujifilm X series. That's what I use for all of my professional work.
@@PeteCocoPhoto ok thank you!
Thank you
My pleasure!
I am getting one tomorrow for my birthday. But i am stuck between the sony Zv1 and the canon.... i love makimg cinematic videos and doing photography... Help! Lol
I've heard great things about the Sony but have not tried it myself. Sony has more lens options for sure tho.
What lens would you recommend for shooting music videos?
The kit lens is very good for a variety of subjects. If you get a zoom you have more flexibility than a fixed focal length lens,.
I'm a beginner. I like to take landscape and people portrait from a far distance. What lens should i use with canon m50?
You want to get a telephoto lens like the 18-150.
I was in doubt between M50 and R50 and budget matters. As i want a camera mainly for travel photos, after watching your video i'll pick M50
Enjoy! I think it's an awesome travel camera.
R50 is way better
Please can I film with canon m50 mark ii vertically for TikTok and reels? Also, when shooting outside do I need a filter? I don’t know much about cameras that’s why I’m asking. Thank you
Yes you can shoot vertical video with the M50 MkII. You don't need a filter outside to take vlogging style vids, esp if you shoot on auto mode.
@@PeteCocoPhoto thank you so much 😊
@@famakinnaomi1462 You got it! I completely understand. Sometimes I still get confused when I look at the back of the R5 LOL
@@PeteCocoPhoto 😂, please one last question, what lens would you recommend apart from the kit lens that gives blur background?Thanks
@@famakinnaomi1462 Depends what kind of stuff you want to do, but check out the Sigma contemporary lenses- they are great!
Hi, If i record in 4k 24fps can I put this on a 4k 30fps timeline and render or will I experience problems?
You will experience problems with video and audio.
@@PeteCocoPhoto is there a budget option for 4k 30fps?
Would this camera (with the proper lens) work for action sports photography such as motocross racing?
Yes, but for something like that I would look at the R series cameras. You have more options for telephoto lenses and camera bodies that can shoot very fast.
I shoot football (soccer) with my M50. Its brilliant. It shoots 10fps and images are tack sharp
Can i shoot wildlife photography with this camara. Which lens do you suggest?
I wouldn't use this camera for wildlife. It's really for vlogging, people, etc. You are better off with a Canon RF mount camera because you have a much larger selection of telephoto lenses which you will need. Check out this one: amzn.to/3NGoj45
Is it good for car videography/photography with the stock lense?
yes, the stock zoom is great for wide angle and a bit of tele as well.
Is M50 MK2 worth it for makeup reviews?? I mainly take close-up pictures of makeup/skincare stuff and close-up swatches on my eyes.
Yes - you want to make sure to get a lens that has good close focusing ability. The kit lens that I reviewed in this video lets you get pretty close so it might work for you: amzn.to/46kO4zf
Thank you! I’m also interested in Sony zv-e10, which one do you recommend?
@@chercheryls Sony will have more lens options than the Canon. Both are very good but I like the canon user experience esp for still photography.
@@chercherylsCanon has better colour reproduction and ergonomics. Colour will be important for makeup I'm sure.
I just traded in my five year old Nikon D5600 for this camera. Glad I did.
Nice! Enjoy!
That's the camera I have and am looking for a better video camera. The D56000 takes great pictures, but the video is not great.
Hi will I be able to use the m50 adapter on the M50 mark ii!? What lenses will I have to get for the adapter if I can!?
The 50 and 50 mk 2 use the same lenses so it shouldn't be a problem. Having said that, I am not sure what adaptor you are talking about so don't hold me to it lol
@@PeteCocoPhotoThe Viltrox ef-eos m adapter
The adapter fits on my Mk 2 but the kit lenses does not fit on the adapter
@@shania6617 Ah well that's a different story then
@@shania6617 what does it adapt to?
Im considering getting this or getting the eos r but im nit entirely sure which one
Depends on what you want to do. This is super compact. Can’t beat that but you are limited in lens choice. The R system has a lot more lenses but also they cost more. You can’t beat how compact the m is tho.
All normal people are buying Canon R10 and R50... but not me. I already baught my m50 mark 2 two weeks ago. I have decided do these because l have no opportunities to do 4 k contant for You Tube because l don't want to spend my money for technical opportunities for keeping my 4k files. So my m50 mark2 with Digic8 can't work on hire ISO 3200 like new rf-s cameras with DigicX. I don't believe that they changed sensor, I think they lied and stayed a similar sensor with new processor.
I have bought two lengths with adaptor viltrex ef-s 24 mm f2, 8 and ef 50 mm f1,8. So If we include crop 1,6, l have three focus 24 mm f3,5(from kit length), 38 mm and 80 mm.
I never follow the "normal" people haha! Enjoy the camera. As long as it makes you happy it's the right choice!
14mm not wide enough? (and yes, I understand it's really 21, but stil...)
I mean everything is subjective to situation. I don't remember exactly what I said in the vid but I think it was referencing vlogging?
@@PeteCocoPhoto Yes, vlogging. 😁
@@laika25 yep it felt really cramped when I tested it.
I just get one for 200 so I guess it was a good purchase
That's great!
Where? 😮
It’s even better with the prime lenses.✨ Your statement that it has IBIS is erroneous. It only has digital stabilization, for video.
I’m staying with the M series for the foreseeable future. I don’t need newer tech, and I like the size and image quality.
Thanks for the correction, James. I will see if I can edit that error out. I think many will be sticking with the M series like you - it really is an excellent little camera!
What lenses would you recommend?
@@arnaudfonne7480 Check out the Sigma Lenses - they are excellent: bhpho.to/45QSH3M
@@arnaudfonne7480 That depends entirely on what you shoot the most. I agree with Pete on Sigma lenses. My Sigma 56mm lens (90mm equivalent) is fantastic, but it's mostly useful for portraits. I like Canon's 22mm (35mm equivalent) pancake lens on a smaller M camera for it's discreet size and respectable quality. Canon's EF-M 32mm f/1.4 (51mm equivalent) apparently has the best image quality for the M series, but I've put off spending for one.
I picked up one a week ago I'm mainly taking pictures of mountains and landscape and can't say it's great because Nokia 808 pure views is taking Sharper image's. So I'm selling m50.
How do you have the camera set? If the photos don't look good sometimes it's a simple setting fix.
@@PeteCocoPhoto I tried everything but when taking pictures huge spaces like whole mountain peak 808 just has more details, even Raw files on canon are not coming close to it
@@tkipiani91 Interesting. I have a google pixel 8 pro and those raw files are pretty good as well. At the end of the day you gotta use what gets the job done and makes you happy
@@PeteCocoPhoto definitely! And after playing for few days with canon m50 I decided not sell it, it's pretty good for taking pictures in the street and moving objects have acceptable sharpness. So for hiking 808 and anything else m50.
