Comparison Overview – Canon EOS M6 vs M50

As is obvious from their names, these cameras are made by the same company and even belong in the same series.

Therefore, it is not out of place that they have a lot of things in common. But what sets them apart?

First, viewfinder!

These two cameras are mirroless, and as such, what is expected with each of them is an electronic viewfinder. Well, only one of them comes with one; the EOS M50.

The EOS M6 is absent a viewfinder, but seems to make up for that by providing an option to mount on and use an external viewfinder.

The presence/absence of a viewfinder in each of these cameras affects the way they are used.

Because of the presence of this feature, you will be able to frame photos better and more conveniently with the EOS M50.

And the absence of it in the EOS M6 will leave you using your camera’s LCD screen a lot. And sometimes, that will not be your most convenient option.

Moving on from that, the M50 is the more recent of the two cameras. It was announced by Canon on the 26^th of February, 2018, while its counterpart was announced on the 15^th of February, 2017.

That is almost exactly a year apart.

This is why it is surprising that the M50 is the one without video stabilization. That is, Canon took out this pretty important feature which was present in the earlier model, and as you would expect, it left a lot of customers asking questions.

Furthermore, although both these cameras have poor battery capacities, it appears that it got even worse with the new one (EOS M50).

The M6’s battery will be producing 60 more shots per full charge than the M50.

But well, it’s not all bad for the EOS M50. This camera does a lot better at focusing than the M6.

It is also much better for video as it is the only one of the two cameras – Canon EOS M6 vs M50 – that can shoot 4k. Plus, you can record slow-mo with it.

And oh, it comes with a much higher maximum video resolution than the M6.

Price/Value Ratio — Canon EOS M6 vs M50

Which Camera Offers More Value for Money: Canon EOS M6 or M50?

The Canon EOS M6 and M50 have good price/value ratios, but the latter have a lot features, which the former lacks. So, it is understandable that the M50 is slightly more expensive than the M6.

Well, do not make a decision just yet. In the table below, we put major features and specifications of each of these cameras side by side. Let us see how they do.

Which Is Better Under What Circumstance – Canon EOS M6 vs M50?

Canon EOS M6	Canon EOS M50
For street photography – or any other form of photography that would require spontaneity – this is your better option. It starts up faster than the EOS M50, and that could really be the difference between you catching/missing a golden shot.	We would say that this is the better one to record videos with. Now, although this camera does not come with the video stabilization feature like the M6 does, it makes up for that in other ways. Its maximum video resolution which is twice that of its counterpart, its ability to shoot 4k and slow-mo which the M6 lacks, and its built-in electronic viewfinder, are some of the features/functions that ensure that you will be recording better videos (and more conveniently, too) with this camera.
If you will be shooting for long periods of time, this would be the lesser of the two evils. Its battery isn’t fantastic, but sincerely, we didn’t expect much from an entry-level mirrorless camera anyway.	The EOS M50 is easily the better camera for properly focused photos. This camera comes with almost a hundred more focus points than the M6. So, you can see the type of gap we are dealing with.

Common Features – Canon EOS M6 vs M50

The Canon EOS M6 and M50 have the following similarities:

i. Mirrorless cameras
ii. Face detection focus
iii. Sensor
iv. Built-in flash
v. External flash hot shoe
vi. Articulating screen
vii. RAW support
viii. Time-lapse
ix. HDMI output
x. External microphone jack
xi. Auto exposure bracketing
xii. Touch screen
xiii. Built-in Wi-Fi
xiv. Near field communication (NFC)
xv. Built-in Bluetooth

Mirrorless Cameras

In the simplest of terms, a mirrorless camera is one which was not designed with a mirror mechanism.

That is, it does not possess a mirror. And of course, that was easy to figure out from the name.

Now, because of this, mirrorless cameras also do not come with optical viewfinders. They could either come with electronic viewfinders, or no viewfinder at all.

Mirrorless cameras are very often compared to DSLRs (the ones that are made with mirror mechanisms and possess optical viewfinders).

The average mirrorless camera weighs less than the average DSLR (thanks to its lack of a mirror mechanism).

However, battery life is horrible, and auto focus systems aren’t as good as those of DSLR cameras.

The rivalry that exists between these two different camera types is a pretty interesting one. No one can exactly be named the better type, but they both edge each other out when considered for certain purposes.

However, we won’t be going into all of that in this article. But if you want to find out more about the DSLR vs mirrorless rivalry, check out the video below.

Now to the actual features you can find in both these cameras – Canon EOS M6 vs M50.

Face Detection Focus

This is a feature that makes it possible for your camera’s lens to pick up the human faces in its frame and focus on them.

This is the feature that gives pictures that “professional look”; even those taken with entry-level cameras or even smartphones.

So, it is safe to say that due to the presence of this feature in each of these cameras, either of them will be doing a good job at producing lovely portrait photos.

Sensor

These cameras each come with the APS-C CMOS sensor. And even better, they also each come with a maximum sensor resolution of 24 megapixels.

If you do not understand all these terms, all you need to know is that anyone of these cameras will be able to produce big prints in photos taken with them.

More so, you will be able to capture a lot of details with any one of these cameras. Awesome!

Built-In Flash

This is a feature you are definitely familiar with. It is present in millions of cameras in the market, and even smartphones.

And what it does is the same everywhere. It helps provide a burst of light to the environment so that you can get pretty bright images in low light.

It has to be said, though, that no matter how good your camera’s flash is, it will not always suffice to produce the best and brightest of photos.

So, what do you do when this happens? Read on to find out!

External Flash Hot Shoe

So, when your camera’s built-in flash does not give you the results you desire, here’s what to do; get a good external flash!

Now, not every camera allows the use of external flashes, but these cameras – Canon EOS M6 vs M50 – do not fall into that category.

Each of them comes with an external flash hot shoe, which is the feature that accommodates external flashes.

This means that, in low light, you can do far better than you could with just the built-in flash.

And what makes it even more interesting is that you can keep improving the lighting you get from you camera by getting more advanced external flashes.

Articulating Screen

An articulating screen is a type of LCD screen that can be moved to certain different angles that vary among cameras.

Now, an articulating screen could be a tilting screen, a fully articulated one, or a cross-tilt screen. These are just names to represent the extent of the screen’s flexibility.

The EOS M6’s screen is a tilting screen which can go up to approximately 180 degrees upward and approximately 45 degrees downward.

Considering this, this camera will be great for taking pictures from high above your head, really low angles, chest level, and even for taking selfies.

The screen of the EOS M50, on the other hand, is a fully articulated screen. What this means is that it can both be tilted and swiveled.

A screen such as that of the M50 is also called a rotating screen. This one is even more flexible than what you have with the M6.

So, the LCD screen of the M50 can do all that that of the M6 can do, and even more.

RAW Support

This is another feature that ensures that you can get high-quality photos without even doing much.

With RAW support on your camera, you can decide to not compress your images, thereby preserving all the details in the photo.

However, the only price to pay would be storage space. Because of how much visual detail they contain, RAW format files are usually really large, and so, take up a lot of space.

So, we would advise that you only take RAW images if you intend to use your images on a very large scale.

Time-Lapse

This is one thing that could make your video recording convenient in some cases, and just fun in others.

This feature is one that allows you to manipulate time in your recordings. For example, you could set your camera to record for about 3 hours, and with time-lapse, that video could end up being just 3 minutes long.

Time-lapse is a feature that nature photographers, particularly, will be fond of. It is just apt for recording videos like the setting/rising of the sun, or even the growth of a plant.

Apart from that, it could be a lot of fun using this in-camera app to record your baby or pet while they sleep, play around, or engaging in other activities for hours.

HDMI Output

An HDMI cable is used to connect a device (a computer, camera, and the likes) to a television screen or a monitor.

So, basically, having an HDMI output in your camera, means that you can use an HDMI cable with it for the aforementioned purpose.

This, of course, helps you boycott having to first send the photos or videos to a laptop.

External Microphone Jack

Most times, when you record video, the sound quality stands as one of the major factors that determine whether or not that video is of great quality.

And in all honesty, the internal microphone alone – no matter how good it is – will not always be enough to give you awesome audio quality, especially when there is a lot of noise.

But seeing as these cameras – Canon EOS M6 vs M50 – each come with an external microphone jack, you have nothing to worry about.

Just by getting a good external microphone and attaching it to the camera via this jack, you can get clean noise cancelation and all-round amazing audio quality.

So, now, the quality of audio you can get in your videos is no longer dependent on your camera, it is dependent on you.

Can you find a really good external microphone that will provide you with the results that you desire?

Auto Exposure Bracketing

This is a feature that allows you shoot conveniently and efficiently when the lighting in your location is pretty complicated.

What this feature does is that it helps you take photos in different exposure settings without having to manually alter the camera’s settings between shots.

If you set this well, you can take three (maybe more, maybe less) versions of one photo with just one click of the shutter button.

So, for example, you could get a picture in overexposed, normally exposed, and underexposed, without having to manually change the settings before each shot.

If you intend to get interesting high dynamic range (HDR) photos, you would be grateful for this feature.

Auto exposure bracketing makes HDR photography really easy, and each of these cameras – Canon EOS M6 vs M50 – comes with it. So, that is surely good news.

Touch Screen

For a beginner, a touch sensitive screen is a feature that makes life so much easier.

The buttons on a camera can be pretty confusing if you are using one for the first time, especially if without guidance.

So, being able to tap on the screen to control and access some functions is something that will be helping the amateur photographer get used to his camera pretty quickly.

Thankfully, the touch screens on these cameras work pretty well. So, you won’t be having trouble using this feature on either one of these cameras – Canon EOS M6 vs M50.

Built-In Wi-Fi

Just like with many other devices in this present age, these cameras – Canon EOS M6 vs M50 – each comes with a built-in Wi-Fi feature that enables them to achieve wireless connectivity.

But the Wi-Fi on your camera works a little differently from what you have on your smart devices.

Here, the built-in Wi-Fi allows you connect to other Wi-Fi compatible devices close by for quick and easy transfer of files.

So, thanks to this, you won’t be needing USB cables to transfer files from your camera to your smartphone anymore.

Connecting your camera to a smartphone, for example, is not very difficult. You could check out the video below to see how you can use Wi-Fi to connect the Canon EOS M6 to your iPhone.

Near Field Communication

This is a feature that ensures that the process of transferring files from camera to smartphone is even easier than we just explained.

With near field communication (NFC), you can skip a number of steps and go straight to wirelessly connecting your camera and smartphone with just one touch.

However, you have to first ensure that your smartphone is NFC compatible. Because not every Wi-Fi enabled device comes with NFC.

Built-In Bluetooth

We are not even done with wireless connectivity on these cameras – Canon EOS M6 vs M50.

In addition to the built-in Wi-Fi you get, each of them comes with a built-in Bluetooth. So, it is safe to say that you can always stay connected with these cameras, still without cables.

You probably already know about Bluetooth and what it does, so, let’s just go on to show you how it works on a camera.

The video below shows you how you can connect the Canon EOS M50 to a smart device via Bluetooth. Watch it!

Unique Features – Canon EOS M6 vs M50

The following features distinguish the Canon EOS M6 from the M50:

i. Video stabilization
ii. Electronic viewfinder
iii. Slow motion

Video Stabilization

Like we mentioned earlier, the Canon EOS M6 is the only one of the two cameras – Canon EOS M6 vs M50 – with video stabilization.

This feature ensures that you can move around while you record with your camera and still get great looking videos.

Electronic Viewfinder

This is a feature you often find with mirrorless cameras and the EOS M50 just happens to be one of those cameras.

With a viewfinder, you will be able to frame your photos better and more easily.

More so, on days when you have to shoot outdoors in direct sunlight, the viewfinder is what will help you avoid shooting with your camera’s LCD screen, which could be hell for you.

The electronic viewfinder is different from its optical counterpart in that it gives a digital image of what your camera’s lens is capturing.

That is to say that looking through an electronic viewfinder, you will be able to see how your photo will come out after the shot has been taken.

Looking through an optical viewfinder, however, you get to see the object exactly as it is.

Slow Motion

The EOS M50 is the only one of these two cameras – Canon EOS M6 vs M50 – that can record videos in slow motion. This is great for creative shooting.

Unique Pros – Canon EOS M6 vs M50

The M50 can record videos in slow motion, while the M6 cannot.

Unique Cons – Canon EOS M6 vs M50

Unique Cons Of The Canon EOS M6 – Canon EOS M6 vs M50

The following are the disadvantages of choosing the Canon EOS M6 over the M50:

i. No electronic viewfinder
ii. Few focus points
iii. Low video resolution
iv. No slow motion mode

No Electronic Viewfinder

This camera does not come with a viewfinder. And this might be a problem particularly when you are shooting outdoors during the summer.

If you are in direct sunlight, it would be difficult – if not impossible – to see what is being displayed on the screen. A viewfinder would have helped you avoid using your screen at this time.

Anyway, Canon sort of makes up for this by giving an option to use an external viewfinder on this camera.

So, if you think a viewfinder would be very necessary for your photography, you could purchase an external one and mount on your EOS M6.

Few Focus Points

This camera has only 49 focus points which is not a very impressive number, especially when compared to its counterpart in today’s comparison which comes with nearly 3 times that number.

Low Video Resolution

1920 by 1080 is the video resolution you get with this camera. That is not something to put a smile on any videographer’s face.

Also, it does not shoot 4k.

No Slow Motion Mode

You will not be able to record slow-motion videos with this camera.

Unique Cons Of The Canon EOS M50 – Canon EOS M6 vs M50

No Video Stabilization

You stand the risk of getting blurry videos with this camera if the camera moved even a bit while you were recording.

This camera’s lack of a viewfinder didn’t seem to bother a lot of photographers. Many have said that the EOS M6 is just the right camera to get if you are transitioning from smartphone photography.	Customers seem to be loving this camera very much. It is affordable, it comes with many amazing features (including an electronic viewfinder), all in a compact body.
People have complained about the exposure mechanism, though. Some called it lazy. Some have also complained about this camera’s performance on video. It doesn’t seem to be very amazing.	Photographers love that this camera can shoot 4k. According to them, that is quite a big deal. Anyway, there were huge complaints about this one’s battery life and lack of a weather sealing.

Our Take – Canon EOS M6 vs M50

Canon EOS M6	Canon EOS M50
This is a pretty good, pretty affordable, pretty compact, mirrorless camera. We love the outlook and feel of the EOS M6, and we would consider it a really functional one, too.	This is also a camera that does not cost so much. And it still gives topnotch value for every dollar spent on it.
Using this one will feel a lot like using your smartphone, but just with better image quality. It is mirrorless and does not come with a viewfinder, just like your phone. It has a touch sensitive screen, also just like your smartphone. And then, you can take selfies with this camera, again just like your smartphone! What is even more interesting is that if you get bored of holding your camera in your hands, you could connect it to your phone and shoot using your smartphone.	We love that this camera comes with an electronic viewfinder; super convenient for outdoor photography. Plus, the fully articulated screen will ensure that you can be just as flexible with your shooting positions as you would love. Not to mention its very impressive video and burst mode performances. Surely a great package, this one.
Where we think Canon got it wrong is in missing out a built-in image stabilizer. As far as we are concerned, that should even have been more of a priority than the video stabilizer. In addition to that, the battery is really annoying. And the video performance is only average, at best.	Yes, this one is good with continuous shooting, but you will be having troubles with the buffer. The M50’s buffer is not very amazing, and so, will be causing you to halt your continuous shooting at really close intervals. Also, for a camera that can do this much, its battery is abysmal. 235 shots per full charge. Canon, really?!
Anyway, we would recommend this for events, flash photography, vlogging, sports and daily photography, wildlife and nature photography, and any form of amateur photography.	Summarily, it is probably safe to say that the Canon EOS M50 carries the day today. The M6 is pretty good as you must have already figured from this article, but the M50 is able to do pretty much everything it can do and even more. We would recommend this for events, sports photography, video recordings, street and outdoor photography, vlogging, flash photography, wildlife and nature photography, plus a few other cool stuff you could find out for yourself when you use this camera.

Canon EOS M6 vs M50 – FAQs

What Canon Lens is Best for a Blurry Background?

The best Canon lenses for blurry backgrounds are the Canon EF 85nm f/1.2L II USM and Canon EF 50nm f/1.8 STM lenses. The Canon EF 85nm lens is flawless when it comes to achieving the classiest bokeh in landscapes, portraits, action photos, and videos. It has round aperture blades that increase the possibility to create amazing blur effects in photos.

The Canon EF 50nm f/1.8 STM lens has a wide aperture that makes it easier for the lens to create blurry backgrounds while focusing solely on the subject, to make it stand out. This lens also allows over eight times more light than a typical zoom lens would allow.

What is C Raw Canon?

C-RAW canon is the abbreviated name for compressed raw canon. Compression is a hack that has helped professional photographers in keeping tons of pictures with the minimum space possible. The C-RAW format setting was initiated with the introduction of the Canon EOS M50. Since its inception, it has become the new CR3 RAW image format for Canon.

The C-RAW format replaced the S-RAW and M-RAW image file formats. This newly-improved image format not only reduces the file size, but it also retains image quality and resolution.

What are the File Size Differences between Canon RAW and C-RAW File Formats?

A major difference between C-RAW and Canon RAW files is the file size. C-RAW (compressed raw) files are usually smaller and occupy less space compared to non-compressed files. Although Canon RAW files are considerably smaller in comparison to an equal uncompressed bitmapped file, this indicates that a small level of compression exists on the standard RAW files.

In terms of percentage, the difference between a standard JPEG and a C-RAW file is roughly about fifty percent of the original size. Because of this, one would think that the image quality will be redundant. On the contrary, the image maintains its rich tone and detailed information.

How Do I Reset My Canon EOS M50?

To reset the Canon EOS M50, put off the camera and change the mode setting to either video or manual. However, there are other settings you can lock it on. Next, put on the camera and tap the “menu” button. Navigate over to function settings, press “ok” and scroll over to number or page five.

On the drop-down menu, click on “clear settings.” A sub-menu appears with two options: “clear all camera settings” and “clear function settings.” Click on the preferred setting and the camera is all set.

Can You Stream with Canon M50?

The Canon M50 camera can be used to stream live video conferences. To connect the camera for streaming, place the camera on a supporting stand and attach a USB cord to the computer and camera. Set the mode dial to a preferred setting save the “record” setting, and then put on the camera. At this stage, the computer is on and acts as a feed.

Launch the webcam software, or camera live in the case of a Mac. Close all tabs like Google hangouts, QuickTime e.t.c. and ensure that software is showing “active”.

Is Canon EOS M50 Good for Video?

The Canon EOS M50 is quite suitable for filming although it has no special image function optimized for filming. This camera is an entry-level camera and it functions quite well for its price and size. It is a great alternative for many people as the image quality is not exactly redundant and its interchangeable lens design is what other video cameras are missing.

However, there are some downsides to using this camera. Firstly, it crops an image 1.6x into the sensor and this makes it difficult to get broad shots in 4K resolution. Also, Canon’s DPAF (dual pixel autofocus) cannot be used for filming on the camera.

What is Focus Peaking Canon?

Focus peaking canon is a feature that helps with speed and precision when it comes to using manual focus. It gives an outline of what is in focus by highlighting contrast edges with digital color profiles. It helps photographers determine if the images are crisp and sharp, this aid comes in handy when the photographer is having issues determining focus optically.

This feature is also used to determine precisely the depth-of-scene. It allows the photographer to increase aperture size, change the peaking level, and to ultimately control the scene elements that will be in focus.

Does Canon M50 have C-log?

The Canon M50 does not have a C (Canon) log or a flat profile. This makes it more difficult to shoot high-contrast scenes. Canon log allows a photographer to capture the maximum range possible in a limited bit-valued file. Although the resulting image or video may look flat and lack contrast, more flexibility is provided during editing.

Notwithstanding, C-log and C-log grading can be loaded into the camera and can be used as an alternative feature for cameras without RAW option for video.
