Leaked: Canon EOS M50 Image & Specifications
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
It's a hobbyist body and also has a brand new processor so I really hope MJPEG is out of the question.
Looks pretty sweet. I'll stay tuned to see how it's inferior to M5. So far it just looks all around better than M5. Maybe lower resolution LCD panel like the one on an M6, to keep the price down?
Since this is the only camera with it, though, we don't know what the ceiling for Digic 8 is. For all we know, it could be 340 megapixels per second, and Canon has just capped it, or with a better heat management system it could go higher, or whatever
Looks nice to me. Then again, I'm partial to Canon's physical designs. But who buys a camera because it looks beautiful on the shelf?!
The important thing is, how does it hold and do all of the controls feel natural.

Anybody remember whether the CRW->CR2 version bump brought any user-visible changes? From what I know about the CR2 file format, it's a TIFF-like container format that can already easily store several different datasets, in various formats, eg. the 5D4 DPRAWs are just vanilla CR2 files but with an extra data record in the internal "directory". Bumping the bit depth to 16 bits shouldn't be a problem either. So I wonder.

Ergonomics and build quality, most probably, like I predicted a while ago. From the photo it's already apparent that not only one but TWO dials are missing from the top. I believe C modes are also gone. Even if some spec sheet numbers are improved compared to the M5, that's just due to newer tech and bodes well for the eventual successor of the M5.

Looking at the M50, M5, and SL2, I would say this definitely appears to have a flip and twist on the back, in comparison to the kind of screen the M5 had.
After the M5 vlogger screen derision I can’t see any way a video centric M won’t have a full swivel screen.
Indeed if this has 4K it will become the #1 vlogging camera overnight. DPAF, 4K and a full swivel screen with Canon ergonomics, colors, and menus in a compact package with an APS sensor and full Canon lens integration. Probably the best selling MILC so far.

I think a few more serious lenses are required before that description could be applied to Canon's mirrorless efforts. The rumoured fast EF-M 35mm is a good start, but a fast 15mm, 55mm and a longer macro lens would be what I'd consider the minimum to even approach a comprehensive lineup of primes (i.e. one that doesn't look weak alongside the efforts of m4/3rds and Fuji-X). An f/2.8 zoom trinity would also round off a 'serious' offering. Not that I think that Canon will actually make all this, after all they never did for EF-S.

To be fair, Canon could always make an EF-M version of the 17-55mm f/2.8 IS if they wanted to and immediately satisfy that entire crowd, though the size would definitely be somewhat problematic for M series.
That said, it never felt like Canon felt all that positively about the 17-55 f/2.8 when they could be selling crop-users the 24-70mm f/2.8L II or 16-35mm f/2.8L III. Maybe in the EF-M case it makes sense, as an adapter only makes the already large lenses larger.

I hope it's 16-bit RAW. Canon have been lagging for years in DR compared to Sony and Nikon, and it's hard to imagine that their engineers simply couldn't come up with any solution - after all, they routinely rank #1 year after year in patent filing. The more reasonable answer is that they've had thoroughly tested and improved DR sensor tech for a while and just wanted to wait to integrate it with DPAF sensor architecture.
A universal 16 bit RAW format for APS-C and full-frame cameras will be a serious leg up on the competition. If it's true, that means the guys at Canon must have figured out a way to practically eliminate read noise and dark current. The small full well capacity for a 24MP APS-C photodiode means that the SNR needs to be ridiculously high to discern 16 bits of detail.

They're already #2 globally in MILCs, that seems pretty 'serious'. But I guess most people define 'serious player' as 'makes the stuff I personally want'.

C-RAW is probably lossy compressed raw. what is interesting of it is that it may already have DLO applied in camera to the RAW file versus JPEG as it now is.
that means you get all the godly improvements of DLO written to the RAW file before using it in lightroom,etc - which would be a great improvement.
that makes every EF-M lens able to write out a RAW file that is "L" grade lens in terms of aberrations. This would be a serious boon to canon raw files.

sure because canon would absolutely need to beta test this out in the actual field by selling it to people.

Maybe they're just trying to innovate, like Sony.
