Canon EOS M M50 Mark II Black 2019
The 24.1MP APS-C sensor and DIGIC 8 processor capture 10fps bursts and UHD 4K 24fps video with refined Dual Pixel CMOS AF that includes Eye Detection. A 387g body pairs a fully articulating 3-inch touchscreen with 5-axis digital stabilization, and the bundle adds a spare battery and memory card for out-of-the-box shooting. Best for vloggers and live streamers needing a compact, autofocus-reliable camera for direct-to-platform content creation.
