About this model
The Canon EOS M50 is a lightweight mirrorless camera that's easy to carry and simple to use. Its 24.1-megapixel APS-C sensor delivers much better image quality than a phone or compact camera, especially in low light, and the included EF-M 15-45mm IS STM lens covers wide-angle to short telephoto – ideal for everyday shooting, travel and portraits. The vari-angle touchscreen flips out for selfies and vlogging, and the electronic viewfinder helps in bright conditions. Video is sharp 4K, and the Dual Pixel CMOS AF system focuses quickly and smoothly. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC make it easy to transfer photos to your phone. The M50 is a great step up for anyone wanting DSLR-quality images in a smaller body.
