Canon has employed their new DIGIC 8 image processor, enabling the new camera to capture raw 4K video. However,\u00a0while this camera is an improvement over the M5, which lacked 4K capabilities, the M50 can\u00a0only shoot 24p in 4K. Let&#8217;s take a look at some of the camera&#8217;s other features.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EIH6OoFetLA?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Though the 4K\u00a0capability is nice, there is a 1.6X APS-C crop factor, and the dual-pixel auto-focus is limited to 1080p. Given the previous M-series cameras, one can&#8217;t help but ask what the point is? If this is a cheaper, entry-level camera, then what incentive do users have for buying the more expensive M5 and M6 models?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>With a 24.1 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, the DIGIC 8 Image Processor and a variety of brilliant interchangeable lens options, the\u00a0<span class=\"nowrap\">EOS M50<\/span>\u00a0camera can help you get photos and videos with incredible color, sharp and clear details and stunning dynamic range.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hfcuBe18QI8?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>This camera will appeal to vloggers and daily content creators. There&#8217;s built-in WiFi, Bluetooth, and a flippable touch screen perfect for turning the camera on yourself. The M50 also features improved\u00a0143\u00a0autofocus points \u2014 but apparently only 99 autofocus points will work with certain lenses. However, on a brighter note, there is a new eye-detection focusing feature that focuses on your subject&#8217;s eyes\u00a0with a simple tap of the touchscreen.<\/p>\n<p>The camera allows you to shoot with EF lenses, but you&#8217;ll need the EF-EOS M adapter. Unlike other mirrorless cameras currently on the market, the M50 does not feature in-body optical stabilization.<\/p>\n<p>Specs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>4K Recording at 24p.<\/li>\n<li>Dual Pixel CMOS AF (Face+Tracking AF, Zone AF, 1-point AF).<\/li>\n<li>AF Points \u2014 143\/99 points.<\/li>\n<li>EF-M lens (and EF\/EF-S lenses when using Mount Adapter EF-EOS M).<\/li>\n<li>Image Format \u2014 Approx. 22.3 x 14.9mm (APS-C Size).<\/li>\n<li>24.1 Megapixel (APS-C) sensor.<\/li>\n<li>12.4 oz. \/ 351g (body only).<\/li>\n<li>Recording Format \u2014 EXIF 2.31 (DCF2.0).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in what else we might see in 2018, check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/2018-camera-rumors\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">camera rumors coverage<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Looking for more information on video gear?
