Canon EOS M50
The Canon EOS M5 was released in November of 2016 and when we reviewed it, we asked if it was the mirrorless camera that Canon enthusiasts had been waiting for. For us, it came close and was certainly Canon's best and most well-rounded mirrorless camera yet. The newly-announced Canon EOS M50 continues the trend of M-series improvement and appears to be addressing some of the M5's small list of issues, though it doesn't replace the M5, but instead slots below it in Canon's lineup.
The Canon M50 marks a number of firsts for Canon. It is the first Canon camera with the new DIGIC 8 image processor. It's the first Canon M camera to include 4K video recording. Further, the Dual Pixel CMOS AF has been improved, which is significant considering how good it already was. While these are notable additions, the M50 shares a lot with its more expensive sibling too, such as the same 24-megapixel APS-C image sensor. Canon is still positioning it as an entry-level camera in general, though, but it's one which is more full-featured than prior entry-level M cameras. Let's take a closer look at what's new, and what you can expect when the M50 hits stores this spring.
There are stylistic similarities between the new Canon M50 and its bigger brother, but there are many differences when you look closer. Starting on the rear of the camera, the M50 has a slightly smaller display than the M5 (3 inches versus 3.2 inches), but this comes with the tradeoff that the M50 has a vari-angle display whereas the M5 has just a tilting display. In both cases, they offer touch functionality. The M50's 3-inch display has approximately 1.04 million dots while the M5's has 1.62 million. The M50 doesn't have a control dial around the 4-way pad and the power switch has been relocated. Further, the dedicated movie record button has been moved from the back of the camera to the top deck on the M50.
The M50 employs the same 24.1-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor as its sibling. It has the same native ISO range as the M5 of 100 to 25,600, however, it can now be expanded to ISO 51,200. Further, the M50 supports the next-generation CR3 RAW format and it offers a new C-RAW lossy compression RAW option.
Canon M5
Equipped with a 24-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor and DIGIC 7 image processor, the Canon EOS M5 offers similar image quality as its predecessors but much improved overall performance. Considering also its inclusion of Dual Pixel CMOS AF, a built-in electronic viewfinder and larger 3.2-inch touchscreen, the Canon EOS M5 is Canon's best mirrorless camera yet.
Pros:
Enthusiast-oriented compact camera body; Good image quality in most situations; Built-in electronic viewfinder; Impressive Dual Pixel CMOS AF; Very good overall performance.
Cons:
High ISO image quality and dynamic range aren't quite up to par with some of its competition; No 4K video recording; Native EF-M lens selection is still limited; Below average battery life.
The Canon EOS M5 also boasts a new low-power, Bluetooth Smart connection which can remain active at all times, much like Nikon's competing SnapBridge wireless tech, which is also based around Bluetooth Smart technology. The EOS M5 uses this low-power, short-range connection to pair via higher-power, longer-range Wi-Fi for faster transfers and remote control with a live view feed, but can rely on Bluetooth alone for remote control without a live view feed, or to control playback on a large screen over HDMI.
The Canon EOS M5 began shipping in November 2016 in the US market, and is sold either body-only, or in two kit bundles with lens. Body-only pricing is in the region of US$980, while a kit with the EF-M 15-45mm/F3.5-6.3 IS STM zoom lens is available for around US$1,100. A second kit with the new EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens is also available, priced at around US$1,480 or thereabouts.
