Slightly better cameras but otherwise, not much of an update - buy the iPhone 14 Pro or switch to Android instead

Better low-light photography, Slightly longer battery life, Action mode gives super stabilised video

The same performance as the iPhone 13, No Dynamic Island or Always-On display, 60Hz screen

Canon’s EOS M50 Mark II is a confusing little camera – while it is feature-packed, it’s only a very minor update on the first EOS M50 camera. Other than the addition of eye AF and the ability to shoot vertical video, there’s not really a whole lot different between the two versions. So while we wouldn’t recommend owners of the EOS M50 to upgrade to the newer model, it’s great for those just starting out on their photography and content creation journeys.

Vertical video recording; Eye AF for stills and video; Great stills;

Heavily cropped 4K video; Limited native lenses; 100fps shooting at only 720p

Like its predecessor, the Canon M50 Mark II is an attractively-sized, well-sculpted camera with a good-quality sensor, a responsive vari-angle touchscreen, a decent electronic viewfinder and a very-capable autofocus system.

Excellent image quality, Superb implementation of touch-control, Good-quality viewfinder built-in

4K video mode crops the frame, Limited lens range

The Canon EOS M50 Mark II offers some minor updates from original. It's still a very good digital camera for photographers, but one to skip if 4K video is a priority.

Lightweight build with lenses to match, 24MP APS-C imaging, Wide focus coverage with 10fps bursts, Swing-out touch LCD, Integrated eye-level EVF, Supports external microphone, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and webcam support

Cropped 4K video with slower autofocus, Short battery life, Doesn't support USB charging, Small burst capture buffer

It’s a great handset, but the improvements are so iterative that most of you will hardly notice what’s new.

Action mode offers truly superb video stabilization. eSIM makes it easy to switch phones (with other iPhones). Satellite SOS and Crash Detection add peace of mind.

Many of the specs remain the same as on the iPhone 13. Small battery gains. Photonic Engine isn’t as revolutionary as suggested.

The iPhone 14 comes to market with the same launch price as the previous generation. At the same time, iPhone connoisseurs were more than disillusioned after the presentation of the new smartphone. Apple leaves large parts of the hardware unchanged and does not dare to change the design.

Top performance level despite last year's chip, Very high quality workmanship, Improved image and video quality, Excellent battery life

Hardly any innovations, Charging takes too long for 2022

The Canon M50 Mark II is decent for travel photography. It's very portable for travel with its included kit lens and can fit into most small camera bags. It delivers great image quality and has a good autofocus system, which does a decent job of tracking moving subjects.

Lightweight and portable., Good overall image quality.

Disappointing battery life.

Only minor improvements over the original, No sensorbased image stabilisation, Limited native lens lineup

Like the model before it, the M50 Mark II offers a compact, DSLR styled mirrorless camera, with a 24mp APS-C CMOS sensor, which gives excellent image quality, with the same excellent colour reproduction that you get with Canon EOS DSLRs.

Compact and easy to use, Wi-Fi, NFC and Bluetooth built-in, High-resolution electronic viewfinder, Great image quality, Face and eye detection focus (now available in video), 4K video recording, Rapid focus and shutter response, Good value for money

The Apple iPhone 14 isn’t a huge upgrade on the iPhone 13, yet it still is a great phone with a top camera, good battery life and all the iOS benefits.

Clever safety features, Very good battery life, Reliable camera, Fun colours, You’ve got an ageing iPhone: If you’re on an iPhone 11 or older, then the changes here will make a notable difference.

Stuck on a 60Hz display, Minimal differences to the iPhone 13, You’ve got an iPhone 13: The changes from Apple’s previous phone aren’t enough to warrant an upgrade this year.
