Canon EOS M50
WITH this premium entry-level model, Canon is finally offering buyers a genuine choice between DSLR and mirrorless. It employs an SLR-like design with a built-in central electronic viewfinder and fully articulated touchscreen, while offering a similar degree of external control to the ultra- compact EOS 200D DSLR. But beneath its unassuming exterior lies a camera that’s easy to use and takes great pictures. The EOS M50 is built around a 24MP APS- C sensor that uses Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS technology to provide fast, accurate phase- detection autofocus across most of the image area. It’s capable of shooting at up to 10 frames per second, or 7.4fps with focus adjustment between shots. Well-implemented Bluetooth and Wi- Fi connectivity makes it easy to share your favourite images or control the camera remotely using your smartphone. Despite its small size, the EOS M50 handles well and provides a decent level of external control, complemented by an excellent touchscreen interface. Most importantly, it’s capable of producing consistently fine images, with attractive colours and well-judged exposure. Overall this is a very likeable little camera that manages to be simple and approachable for novices, while also offering a full degree of manual control for enthusiasts. It’s a great option both for beginners, and for Canon DSLR owners tempted by the advantages of mirrorless.
