What’s the definition of dead? Canon stopped making lenses - yeah then it’s dead. However I think the quality of the sensors is still good enough for 2026 and they are so incredibly portable. The little EF-M lenses are pretty good. I bought my M100 with the plan to adapt EF lenses but it’s so much n

The optical quality will be terrible (chromatic aberration, flaring, softness), and with that huge focal length and narrow aperture and no image stabilization, you will need to shoot with a tripod. These are cheap for a reason. I'd wager you'll get far better shots by using an EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6

The canon M50 can only shoot with electronic shutter on full auto mode sadly and its kit lens goes from 3.5 to 6.3. Source: It’s my backup camera

Hey. Welcome! I'd suggest to learn the basics, and then see what attracts your attention. That will change which lenses you need. I took some courses and then went with what I enjoy. Also, the M50 is capable of producing gorgeous pictures, but it will require interesting light for that. It is a very

This was an idea I had for a while, to make a sequential video using photos rather than recording a video. I know it's not original and has been done on motion picture film/video itself. But due to the limited dynamic range in my camera's video function (Canon M50) and also to capture the fast pace

Neither are compact. If you're serious about shedding size, New R50V is tiny. I found original R50 too wide. Canon M50 or even small M6 are what you're really asking for. M mount has the coveted 22m f/2. They fit in my coat pocket

See if you can get a hold of a canon M50, R50 or V1 These are entry level that can achieve a pretty mind blowing level of quality. And the kit lenses are solid on these.

Keep the M50. For photography you won’t get a lot, if any, benefit from upgrading to an R50. Plus you won’t be able to use your M mount lenses with an R camera. I love the M system and have way too many lenses for it. I’d suggest the following: Canon 22mm, it’s a must have for any M camera. It’s lik

I adore my 100-400! I used the 70-300 on my old m50 when I got started though. I can confidently say the 100-400 is a night and day difference as far as AF speed and sharpness. But the 70-300 was no slouch at all in my experience. I’d figure though, that with the R10 the 100-400 would make you happi

Panasonic m4/3 kit. I don't even remember the model now, but I had it for almost 10 years after switching from a Canon 60D in order to move to lighter weight gear. Those 10 years were my least productive ever, in the year before and after I shot more photos with my Canon than I did in 10 years with
