Canon EOS M50 Mark II Review - Recently, Canon announced the EOS M50 Mark II. As the name implies, this camera offers an iterative update to the device of the same name which was launched two years ago. The Canon EOS M50 itself is an entry-level mirrorless camera that has proven quite capable, especially for those who like vlogging.

So what's new with the EOS M50 Mark II? Unfortunately there are not many, and at first glance it seems that it can be offered through a firmware update instead of having to buy a new camera. The most important update is the presence of an eye tracking autofocus system, both for taking photos and videos.

This is quite crucial considering that its predecessor could not activate face detection or eye detection in video recording, as well as in a number of shooting modes. The Dual Pixel autofocus system used is actually the same as before, but the eye tracking feature should make work easier.

What is somewhat disappointing is that the Dual Pixel AF system still cannot be used when recording video in 4K resolution, and is only limited to recording in 1080p resolution. The crop factor when shooting 4K 24 fps video also remains high at 1.5x, making it difficult to shoot from a wide viewing angle.

Another update can be found on the touch screen interface, which now features a record button and self-timer for easy vlogging sessions. If you need to broadcast live, the EOS M50 Mark II can now also do it with the help of a smartphone connection, but only to the YouTube platform. It is also now possible to record videos in vertical format.




For the rest, the EOS M50 Mark II is completely identical to its predecessor, especially in terms of hardware. The outward form did not change, nor did the innards change; the device is still powered by the same 24 megapixel APS-C sensor, complete with the same DIGIC 8 processor. Canon also does not tamper with the touch screen or electronic viewfinder at all. Obviously this camera is not intended for those who already have the previous EOS M50, but for those who want to upgrade their current vlogging equipment who still rely on smartphones.

The good news is, the selling price of the Canon EOS M50 Mark II is actually much lower than the price of its predecessor when it was launched: $600 body only, or $700 with the EF-M 15-45mm lens. Bundles with two lenses at once (EF-M 15-45mm and EF-M 55-200mm) are also available for $930.
