If you are looking for a new camera for YouTube videos, this is for you! Here is my honest review and why this might be the perfect camera for you.
First, let's start with size and weight. The Canon m50 Mark ii is small and light, making it easy to carry around or slip into a bag. This mirrorless also has all the expected features for today's camera. You have manual shooting settings, face detection,, and a fully movable touch screen! One of the best parts is that the touchscreen has a record button right on it. And thanks to the sound levels on the screen, you also always know if your microphone is working properly! There is also a wifi button for really easy transfer of footage from the camera to your computer, phone, or iPad.

What more could you want from an affordable camera that can make YouTube videos quickly and easily? Especially a camera that will make you look credible in your videos without a film crew or $4000 worth of camera equipment! If you shoot 1080p videos, don't need 4k, and don't use it for professional photography, this camera is great for you.

Dual Pixel CMOS AF offers smooth and fast focusing, similar to how a video camera focuses. This system integrates two separate photodiodes in each pixel to provide a wide and dense network of phase-detection collection elements across the majority of the image sensor to reduce focus seeking for faster and more direct control of focus placement. When working with still images, this focusing system works to focus quickly and accurately, making it ideal for shooting and tracking moving subjects, ensuring critical focus is achieved with every shot. Eye-detection AF can also be used for portraiture, helping to prioritize focus on the subject's eye to ensure sharpness.

The rest of the camera controls run along the right rear. They're rather small and crammed together, and in many cases it's simply easier to use the touchscreen to change settings; this is especially true for the small video recording button that sits flush with the camera body. Recording video is much easier via the camera's touch screen. The menu is easy to navigate and follows the standard layout found on other Canon EOS cameras.

The M50 Mark II has a built-in eTTL pop-up flash that's decent for fill-in use, while the hot shoe allows you to attach a more powerful external flash. The camera has a 3.5mm microphone jack, micro-HDMI and USB Micro-B slots running down the side. Unfortunately, there's no headphone jack to monitor audio levels while recording video, but that's pretty standard for cameras in this class.

Even though the M50 Mark II is incredibly light and compact, it's still very comfortable to shoot with thanks to this distinctive grip. It's CIPA-rated to take 305 shots per charge, and if you're only shooting stills, we found its battery life to be solid for a day or more of photo-focused activities. However, if you plan on shooting a lot of video, you'll want to bring a spare battery as it drains quickly. Also note that USB charging is not supported (don't lose this charger!).
