1. Canon EOS M50 Mark II
A versatile and compact mirrorless camera
The Canon EOS M50 Mark II has been developed with video in mind. It offers up to 143 autofocus points (depending on the lens in use) with Dual Pixel AF that features face and object tracking. Select a subject from anywhere inside nearly the entire frame with the cameras ‘Touch and Drag’ AF feature, so you just tap where you want to focus to move the AF point.
The EOS M50 Mark II is great at filming in low light. When shooting in 4K, the camera offers sensitivity up to ISO 6400, which means that you can capture clear footage with accurate colours whether you're filming in a lamp-lit bedroom at night or walking through the streets in the bright midday sun. If you don't need to shoot in 4K, then shooting at HD quality enables you to push that ISO range from 100 to 25,600, which allows you to shoot in with even less available light.
With the fully-articulating, Vari-Angle screen, the camera allows you to record yourself with ease and maintain focus with the built in face tracking feature. This, along with the in-camera Movie Digital IS, will help maintain steady and sharp video.
There is also a stereo microphone built-in, plus a 3.5mm stereo mini jack for attaching an external microphone. Along with the Canon EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM kit lens mounted, the EOS M50 Mark II sits nicely in your hand and is light enough to film yourself at arm's length without getting tired.
