Canon EOS M50 Mark II Review
The Canon EOS M50 Mark II ($599.99, body only) is an appealing entry-level mirrorless camera for family photographers and snapshooters looking to move beyond a smartphone, or upgrade an aging Rebel SLR. Its mirrorless design, and complementary compact lens system, are appealing for travel, and the front-facing touch screen is useful for selfies and vlogs. It's a good starter camera, but we recommend stepping up to our Editors' Choice winner, the Fujifilm X-T30, if you're a more serious photography hobbyist.A Modest Update The EOS M50 Mark II doesn't make a lot of changes from the first edition, released in 2018. Aside from the name badge, there are no differences on the exterior, and inside the camera uses the same 24MP image sensor and Digic 8 image processor. The Mark II has a more capable autofocus system, but that's it for upgrades. You can still buy the original EOS M50 for a little less, $579.99 without a lens.
