description Canon EOS M50 Mark II Overview

The Canon EOS M50 Mark II was once the king of beginner cameras, but it has been largely superseded by the newer R-series mirrorless cameras. It is still a capable camera with a great flip-out screen and decent autofocus, but the EF-M lens mount is effectively dead. If you can find it at a significant discount, it is a decent entry point, but it is hard to recommend over the newer Canon EOS R50, which offers better performance and a future-proof lens mount. It is a reliable camera that served many beginners well, but its time has passed.
