Canon has taken the wraps off the EOS M50, a beginner-friendly mirrorless camera that's the first in the company's M-series to offer 4K video capture. It uses a 24MP APS-C sensor with Dual Pixel autofocus, a new Digic 8 processor and unlike its M100 sibling, provides a built-in electronic viewfinder.

First Impressions
The M50 is also the first camera to offer a new CR3 Raw format. It provides a standard "image quality priority" Raw setting as well as a "size priority" C-Raw that produces up to 50% smaller files with the same resolution, albeit with a slight drop in image quality.
Wi-Fi, NFC and Bluetooth are also included, enabling a new option to automatically transfer images from the camera to a smartphone after each shot. The M50's updated processor makes 1080/120p high frame rate video possible, and UHD 4K recording is available at 24p. Unfortunately, 4K also imposes a significant 1. 6x crop and Dual Pixel isn't available.
The camera's 2. 36 million-dot OLED EVF complements a 1. 04 million-dot fully articulated touchscreen. With focus locked the M50 will shoot up to 10 fps; 7. 4fps shooting is available in C-AF.
Dual Pixel autofocus provides improved coverage with certain lenses, including the EF-M 55-200mm, EF-M 18-150mm and EF-M 28mm F3. 5. With one of these lenses attached, the M50 gives 88% horizontal and 100% vertical sensor coverage and up to 143 AF points. A large number of EF and EF-S lenses will also give the same level of AF coverage, while other M-mount and EF/EF-S lenses will offer up to 99 AF points and 80% horizontal/80% vertical coverage.
