Canon's latest mirrorless camera, the Canon EOS M50, is their first M-series camera to offer 4K UHD video. That's not its only headlining feature, the camera also has a Vari-angle touchscreen, a built-in electronic viewfinder, revised Dual Pixel CMOS autofocus and much more, all available in a kit with a 15-45mm lens for only $700 USD (which is a $200 savings compared to its original launch price). On paper, there's a lot to like.
In real-world use, the Canon M50 impresses, as well. The image quality from the 24-megapixel APS-C sensor is quite good, even at higher ISOs, and the Dual Pixel CMOS AF system and new DIGIC 8 processor combine to deliver nimble all-around performance. While quite compact and lightweight, the EOS M50 is also a comfortable camera to use thanks to its nice front grip and a good variety of physical controls.
