First looks at the Canon EOS-M50

While there was hopes that Canon would pull out all the stops, and some leading up to this felt that Canon would throw everything including the kitchen sink into the M50.  Well, now that we know that Canon themselves, calls this a beginner styled camera we shouldn't expect everything that we will see on the EOS-M lineup, and more importantly on Canon's upcoming DSLR products as well.

The 4K video has two limitations that will immediately cause concertation;

1) it has a heavy crop of 1.6x making it a total crop from full frame of around 2.56x.

2) DPAF does not work while shooting 4K video.

We hope that canon works quickly at minimizing these limitations in future releases of consumer 4K.

One interesting thing is the encoding is indeed h.264 and at 120Mbps bitrate, which is actually quite decent.

We have a couple of first look videos presented from Canon USA.
