Canon EOS M M50 Black 2018
The 24.1MP APS-C sensor and 10fps burst shooting with Eye AF make this a capable stills camera in a lightweight 304g body. The fully articulating touchscreen and included bundle with an external monitor and microphone add practical value for content creation right out of the box. This camera is best for entry-level photographers and vloggers who prioritize portability and a comprehensive accessory kit over uncropped 4K video.
