Advantages:
1 24 megapixel sensor with DIGIC 8 processor, excellent image quality;
2, focusing almost full screen coverage, support eye control focusing, easier to get started;
3. When using the viewfinder to focus, it supports dragging the screen to select the focus point, and the screen supports flipping, making the operation more efficient;
4, the camera supports double anti-shake, and the success rate of handheld shooting is high;
5. Support Canon's latest CR3 format RAW file, with smaller size and faster processing speed;
Regret:
When shooting 4K video, the lens conversion coefficient is large, so you need to buy a super wide-angle lens to achieve wide-angle shooting.
Evaluation summary:
As a new generation of travel micro-single, Canon EOS M50 has excellent image quality. Due to the addition of electronic viewfinder, the upgrade of focusing system and the gain of double anti-shake function, the control experience has become more and more perfect. Plus the improved rollover screen, black and white two-color matching suitable for more people, and easy-to-use WiFi function. Canon EOS M50 should be said to be a travel micro-bill with high cost performance on the market at present, which is very worth recommending.
Purchase suggestion:
In view of the fact that the official price of EOS M50 stand-alone machine is 4249 yuan, which is actually slightly lower than our expectation, I suggest you buy early and enjoy early. As for the choice of lens, I suggest 18- 150. After all, a mirror travels all over the world, saving the trouble of changing lenses.
Full-featured Travel Micro-single Canon EOS M50 Appearance Evaluation
As a micro-camera for travel, the face value of EOS M50 should be visible at a glance, which can be called beautiful. So what are the details of this EOS M50? Let's take a look at it next.
▲ This EOS M50*** is available in black and white, and we got a more lovely white version.
▲ The handle on the right side of the fuselage is wrapped in a whole piece of skin, which has a good grip.
▲EOS M50 fuselage front left side design is very simple, mainly a lens bayonet release button and a microphone interface.
▲ On the back of the fuselage, a flip-supported touch screen and electronic viewfinder are important selling points of EOS M50, taking into account the professional and easy-to-use requirements.
▲ The right shoulder of the fuselage has a pulsator, a mode dial, a video key and a custom key. In addition to the touch screen operation, the key operation of EOS M50 can fully meet our daily needs.
▲ Nameplate on the left shoulder of the fuselage.
▲ The right-hand operation area on the back of the fuselage is a classic Canon design, but unfortunately it failed to join the design of double impellers.
▲ On the right interface, Micro USB and Mini HDMI are responsible for data transmission and video output respectively, but unfortunately they cannot be charged with USB (charging treasure).
▲ The audio input interface on the left can record video with an external microphone.
▲ EOS M50 2.36 million pixel viewfinder displays well, with no smear and flicker at all.
▲EOS M50 still uses EF-M bayonet. You can use hundreds of Canon EF lenses by purchasing more than 300 pieces of adapter ring, which has to be said to be a big advantage of EOS M. Of course, the number of native EF-M lenses is also increasing, and the length, width and micro-definition are also ready.
▲ This time, the flip screen of EOS M50 has been changed to horizontal flip, which is very convenient for both self-timer and video shooting.
▲ Generally speaking, EOS M50 has added white color matching, viewfinder, rollover screen and other designs in the overall conservative design, and its value and practicality have been improved, which is commendable.
Analysis and Evaluation of Canon EOS M50 Full-function Travel Micro-bill
Canon EOS M50 adopts APS-C CMOS sensor with about 2465438+ megapixels, and is equipped with DIGIC 8 processor for the first time. Theoretically, the resolution performance of image quality should be good, but the specific performance still needs to be tested by actual tests. The test used IT 168 laboratory standard scene, ISO 100, aperture F8, internal optimization all turned off, and the camera was shot with a tripod.
It can be seen from the screenshot of 100% that the resolution of Canon EOS M50 is very good. Whether it's the wrinkles on Grandpa Washington's forehead, the burrs on the plastic edge, the metallic flower arrangement, or the trademark in the lower right corner of the bottle, it can be clearly recorded by EOS M50. At present, it should be said that it is the top resolution performance in APS-C format camera.
Then let's take a look at the analytical performance of EOS M50 through some outdoor photos.

In the backlit green leaf sample above, even the veins that we can't see with the naked eye, EOS M50 can be recorded truthfully in the final photo, and the effect is amazing.
Generally speaking, the analytical performance of EOS M50 should be said to be the top level among APS-C format cameras at present. To meet the clear needs of consumers, it should be said that artillery is more than enough to kill mosquitoes.
Full-featured travel micro-single Canon EOS M50 high sensitivity evaluation
The image quality performance of the camera at high sensitivity directly affects the shooting ability of the camera at night and sports themes. Usually, the better the high-quality performance of the camera, the purer the picture in dark light, and the stronger the ability to improve the shutter speed and condense the moment.
The APS-C sensor on Canon EOS M50 is about 2,465,438+million. After matching the DIGIC 8 processor, we still tested the high sensitivity performance of this camera through real shooting.
We put the Canon EOS M50 on a tripod with an aperture of F8, turn off all internal noise reduction optimization and output JPEG files directly. Perform 100% magnification slicing on the position shown in the red box in the figure below for each ISO file.
▲ The interception position is shown in the red box in the figure.
Interpretation of ISO image quality of Canon EOS M50 file
From the details of the picture, from ISO 100 to ISO 1600, the noise of Canon EOS M5 increased slightly and the details decreased slightly with the increase of sensitivity, but overall, the sensitivity had little effect on the image quality. At ISO 3200, the contrast of the picture decreased and increased earlier, but the overall impression was not bad. At ISO 6400 and ISO 12800, the color noise in the picture begins to increase, and the picture is no longer pure, but the details of the picture remain, which means that we can solve it by noise reduction. By ISO 12800, the details in the picture were completely lost. Although the overall impression of the photo is ok, it should be unusable if it is enlarged to 100% or used for large-format printing.
Comments on Canon EOS M50 high-sensitivity image quality and suggestions on the use of sensitivity
Generally speaking, the high-sensitivity performance of Canon EOS M50 should be slightly improved, but the surprise is insufficient. Without the edge of a new generation of 2465438+ megapixel sensor, it is more familiar with the details, and it is still the leading level of APS-C format camera.
Judging from the high sensitivity performance of EOS M50, most of the dark light and indoor scenes we encounter every day, plus the dual anti-shake function of EOS M50, can be photographed by hand without tripod.
Full-featured travel micro-single Canon EOS M50 travel trial
Because EOS M50 is a micro-camera for positioning travel, we still need to test the true nature of EOS M50 through an actual travel shooting. This time I went to shoot in western Sichuan, I brought this Canon EOS M50.
During the trip, my first impression of EOS M50 was its exquisite size. During this trip to western Sichuan, except for my camera bag, most EOS M50 was put in the side pocket of my jacket without shoulder straps. Although equipped with an electronic viewfinder, the EOS M50 is still small in my opinion, which can be regarded as a "jacket pocket machine".
When shooting this vertical scene, we need to get a lower perspective as much as possible. At this time, the flexibility advantage of EOS M50 rollover screen is highlighted. Because we can adjust the angle at any time, we can keep our posture as low as possible when shooting, and at the same time we can be more decent without squatting or even lying down to observe the shooting.
Canon EOS M50 can also take photos with its own electronic viewfinder under the scorching sun, strong light or even backlight. For people who are used to SLR, it is extremely handy to use.
When using the Canon EOS M50 viewfinder, there is another function I like better, which is screen dragging and focusing. When using the built-in viewfinder of Canon EOS M50, the screen of EOS M50 can also be used as a touchpad. You can select the focus of the camera by dragging your finger on the screen. This function should be said to be the most handsome function on the camera at present. It's practical and fashionable, and I really can't go back after using it.
In the process of using, I gradually found that EOS M50 is not very professional at first glance, although it only has one thumbwheel. But after a period of use, this wheel should actually be enough for travel photography. After all, there are really not many parameters that we need to control manually at any time during the trip. Aperture and exposure compensation can cope with most scenes. This can be achieved by adding an exposure compensation button on the back of EOS M50 fuselage. So I think with the positioning of EOS M50, the single wheel is actually a more reasonable design.
Because EOS M50 is equipped with an electronic viewfinder, we can hold the viewfinder of the camera with our eyes when shooting, so that the camera and the arm form a stable triangle, which naturally enhances the anti-shake effect. This is particularly important when using telephoto lenses, and it also makes me more convinced that micro-sheets for travel must have a viewfinder.
Functional Analysis of Full-function Travel Micro-single Canon EOS M50
First, greater focus coverage.
Since EOS M50 was upgraded to DIGIC 8 digital image processor, the all-pixel dual-core CMOS focusing system has also been upgraded. When a partially compatible lens is installed, the focus area will automatically expand to about 88%× 100% (length× width) of the image sensor, with *** 143 focus points.
Although Canon's all-pixel dual-core CMOS focusing system has been very good in terms of user experience and word of mouth, it can be further improved. EOS M50 really deserves more recognition in the focusing system.
Second, make better use of eyes to detect autofocus.
▲ I am really sorry, everyone. Qingming really couldn't find a suitable model, so she had to borrow the hands of her colleagues and sisters. ......
In addition to the increase in focus coverage, EOS M50 has also improved the focus experience in other aspects, the first of which is the "eye control focus" function. When the face+tracking focus mode is turned on, the EOS M50 will display the eye autofocus box after successfully detecting the face. At this time, you can automatically focus on the model's eyes near the camera by half pressing the shutter. This is an immediate function to improve the efficiency of portrait shooting.
Third, more powerful anti-shake function.
Canon EOS M50 IS Canon's first micro-camera with dual IS system. By collecting the image information obtained by CMOS and the gyroscope in the lens, more accurate jitter detection is provided, and then more powerful anti-shake effect is obtained. How effective it is, we still test it through real shooting.
Cut 100% enlarged slice from the real shot sample, and the effect of dual IS system on EOS M50 is still very obvious. We start with the 1/30s shutter and slow down the shutter speed to 1/4s to get a clear image. This kind of performance, whether used for still life or night shooting, should be said to be more than enough.
Fourth, the newly added 4K video function and more economical C-RAW format files.
As the first Canon micro-order supporting 4K video, we have seen more prospects for the decentralization of Canon's excellent technology. Due to the addition of various functions in such a compact body, there is still room for improvement in this 4K function of EOS M50. Nevertheless, we can also see the importance attached to the micro-single camera, and all aspects of actual use can be experienced completely.
▲ The volume ratio between the new C-RAW and the original RAW file is about 7: 10.
EOS M50 not only supports the traditional CR2 format RAW file, but also supports the new CR3 format RAW file developed by Canon. By using the CR3 file format, we can get a smaller original file. In terms of file size, the file size ratio of CR2 and CR3 is about 7: 10. This is a conscience function, which can save hard disk expenses for movie friends who need a lot of storage.
