I'll just cut to the chase and list all the secret things you need to know to use this camera effectively as a vlogger:1. Just to be clear, the Mark II features completely clean HDMI with AF enabled. I used it yesterday.2. You can get a special battery from Canon or any number of third-party suppliers that allows you to plug the camera into a standard wall socket so you never have to worry about batteries going dead.3. Most non-camcorder-style consumer cameras include a 30-minute auto-shutoff "feature". They do this to avoid paying EU import taxes on video cameras (yeah, I know). Paying another $1,000 or even switching to another brand won't help you to avoid this particular cripple hammer. However, Canon engineers did have mercy on us and wrote the fix for this into the Canon EOS Utility software (free download from canon.com). Just connect the camera to any Windows or Mac computer (via USB) and run the utility. Note this is a completely different app from the Canon EOS Webcam Utility.4. The Canon webcam utility is a joke. Just get a USB-HDMI dongle for $20 and use OBS or whatever to capture the video. You don't need the Elgato expensiveness unless you're actually serious about recording in 4K. The cheap ones will stream 1080P just fine.Hope this has been helpful. Happy vlogging!

For some reason my ears rub the inside of earphones which get sore after a while, and I don't have big ears. Anyway, these fit without that problem & sound just as good as more expensive options.

I knew this gopro was good but after using it for myself and actually seeing all the features and everything for myself I was blown away even more.The image stability is out of this world and I found it easy to connect to my phone and see what the angel is for riding my bike.I know it's easier to connect to iPhones but I use a android and it still didn't take too long to set up and doesn't take too long to connect everytime.I only bought 1 for now but will 100% definitely get more for more angles and better footage.

This is a good adjustable neutral density filter with no problems I can see. It uses K&F's special coatings to help repel dust, water and fingerprints. This filter has a magnetic attachment system, there is a magnetic ring (with no glass in it) you screw onto your lens. Then whenever you want to use the ND filter you just pop it on and pull it off magnetically, making it easy to change. The system seems to work well, but it's the only one of their filters I have which features it. By rotating the filter you can go from ND2 to ND32, or 1-5 stops.A lot of people wonder what this kind of filter is for, basically it lets you get some different effects when you are shooting in direct sunlight. For example, you can open the F-Stop of your lens all the way to get a shallow depth of field effect, then use the ND filter to darken the image back down so it is exposed right. Another common use is so you can shoot with longer shutter speeds in bright light. This will allow you to get that effect where moving water has a soft motion blur on it by setting a longer shutter speed and adjusting the exposure with the filter. It's also very handy for shooting video in bright light. Using a high F-stop and shutter speed for this can give you a video that has no motion blur and appears to stutter when the camera pans. The ND filter can allow you to shoot with longer exposures which will give motion blur and a smoother more cinematic look when panning.So overall a very useful filter to have if you do videos or photos outdoors in bright sunlight.

This is the first digital camera we have purchased, and are far from professional photographers(I.e. we do not have a need USB charging which appears to be a complaint). It is fairly easy to use once you get the hang of the controls. The Cannon app allows the camera to send images directly to our IPhones, or shoot remotely so that is always a plus. The attached image was a simple point and shoot of the dog and the moon through my cheap telescope.6 Month Update:Absolutely no issues, we have snapped thousands of photos and are getting pretty good at photography now. It is still such a great buy, go ahead and buy if you are on the fence.1 Year In:Added a snap of the Geminids Meteor Shower on Orion’s Belt last night. A long way to go, but slowly becoming competent in Astrophotography with this camera. I would like to branch out with some new lenses this next year. We have been able to document our little boy’s first year of life with this camera, so the investment has been worth every penny.1 1/2 Years:Added the EF-M 22mm f2 lens to up my astrophotography game with this camera and the results are brilliant. It also works as a street prime as well. Camera is still functioning flawlessly. Added a shot of the Milky Way I took last night.Purchased a Sigma 30mm f1.4 lens for beach photography and ended up shooting the Milky Way all night instead. Highly recommend that lens for the EF-M platform because it is pretty much a do-it-all lens.2 Years In:Still absolutely no issues. The Sigma 30mm f1.4 lens pretty much has found a permanent place on this camera after 6 months of shooting with it. Adding the best Milky Way photo I have to date using the Sigma captured at St. George Island, FL.

I never owned the original M50 so the complains about the incremental upgrade do not affect me. Also, I don't shoot full 4K video, so the crop factor is not an issue for me.For $599, this is simply a fantastic camera and huge upgrade from my previous M2!Eye tracking and dual-pixel AF work very well in photo and video, saving tones of time to get the right focus on people.Yes, you can use battery coupler kit for unlimited power supply if you what to (unlike other reviewer suggested).For video conferencing, you should not expect M50 MKii to work well with Canon's webcam utility since it only supports USB2 (read the manual). By connecting with Elgato CamLink 4K (which is USB3), it works flawlessly with clean HDMI output.Solid 5/5 for this purchase!
