- Hey this is my table!
Ow! (laughs)
That's not good.
- Yeah dude.
- At least we got a good intro out of that.
Thanks Dylan.
Today we're comparing the EOS R to the Canon M50.
Here we go. So whenever someone says,
"Hey I want to start a YouTube channel.
"I want to start vlogging.
"I want to start shooting some videos."
"What camera should I get?"
I usually say the Canon M50.
Really good quality for the price.
In most stores it's being sold for
about $800 with a kit lens,
but if you do a little bit of digging,
especially around eBay,
I've found them for about $589
and that includes shipping with a kit lens.
And just because it's on eBay doesn't mean it's used.
It's brand new in the box but doesn't come
with a warranty so I don't know.
And if you're going to be doing some vlogging
you're definitely going to want that wide-angle lens
so you can kinda film yourself and talk to the camera
without it being all up in your face.
I recommend the 11-22.
Super popular lens for those vloggers
and it's about 399 bucks.
An SD card for 30 bucks.
I recommend two batteries.
These don't last very long.
A microphone like this. 199 bucks.
And a tripod like this. 55 bucks.
In total we're looking at about 1,378 bucks.
And this covers everything you
pretty much need to start vlogging.
It has the right lens to film yourself in
and this is what I've been using primarily
as my vlog camera for a while now.
And honestly I love it.
The size is awesome, the quality out of the camera is good.
But I recently just upgraded to the
EOS R to be my primary YouTube camera.
So how's that affect price?
Well first of all you have the
more expensive body coming in at $2299.
I also got the Canon L Series
16-35 f/2.8 Mark III with an adapter.
You can run off the same memory cards
but different batteries.
Also the camera gets a little bit heavier
so we need a bigger, stronger version of these legs.
So that puts up at 4,903 bucks
and depending on how much sales tax you are paying
that could easily put you over 5,000 bucks.
For me personally I want to know,
was it worth it for me to spend
all this money on this new camera?
And also if you're looking at buying one of these,
which one should you buy.
Now I know some of you are thinking,
"Hey this isn't scientific."
"You need to test it on the same lens"
"to really see the difference between the cameras."
But realistically you're not going to be running this lens
on this camera and your probably
not going to be running this lens on this camera.
I mean if you're going for a vlog camera on the M50
this is probably the setup you're going with.
If you're going with the EOS R
this is the setup you're probably going with.
But let's start off by looking at this.
Right now we're facing some really
harsh light coming in this way.
I really like how that harshness kind of rolls off.
I mean this isn't ideal lighting for either camera
but it's not as bad on the EOS R.
On the M50 it looks a little bit harsher.
So that tells me the Dynamic Range is a little bit better.
Even though both lenses are set to f/5
we are getting shallower depth of field,
meaning that background is blurrier
because of the nature of a full-frame sensor.
So, I like that.
And of course we have much more
powerful lens on the EOS R right now.
So we could, in theory, go all the way down to
f/2 and really get a shallow depth of field.
So let's try that real quick.
So now we're at a 2.8 with the full-frame sensor
so that should be really lost in the focus now.
And you can't really lose it on this APS-C sensor
unless you have a really fast lens.
Which there are available but not really in a vlogging lens.
Now we all love shallow depth of field, right.
But it's important to recognize that it's a lot easier
to miss your focus if you have shallower depth of field.
So shallower depth of field the
better your auto focus needs to be.
So I'm just gonna go start here,
and then I'm gonna move back here,
and then I'm gonna move back in really quick!
That's not bad.
Yep. So here's auto focus with
face tracking on both cameras.
They're both doing a pretty solid job,
but of course the wider your depth of field is
you're gonna miss your focus less.
So that's something to consider too.
Even if you have shallow depth of field
you don't want to shoot something really cool
and then realize oh it was all blurry.
So keep that in mind.
So basically if you're a huge fan of depth of field
know that on the same lens you'll still get
shallower depth of field from the EOS R
and if you put the f-stop to 2.8 then there's no contest.
The purpose of this is really to check the
vlogging ability of these cameras.
And we're going on this obstacle course right now.
I'm exhausted.
Vlogging with two cameras.
I'm pretty sure this a record.
Now me personally the first thing I notice when looking
at these two cameras is the clarity.
It's just much more detail retained in there.
There's a couple different things coming into play here.
There's the full-framed sensor,
the better image processor,
the better dynamic range.
All kind of coming together to just give us a cleaner image.
And I also like the colors coming out of the EOS R as well.
I always notice that there's a little bit of this
magenta, purple-ish tint coming out of the M50
and also the ADD but the EOS R looks very natural to me.
So, yeah, I think it's clear that the
EOS R is the winner in producing better images.
But remember that the M50 is a fraction of the cost.
I still think it's a really, really good
camera considering it's price.
Now let's say we want to get some super slow-mo.
120 FPS at 720p.
Definitely much sharper on the EOS R.
Yeah technically they're both 720p but
there's definitely a whole lot more detail being retained.
Here's when Dylan thought he could fly
but turns out he's just a discount Spider-Man.
You guys also asked how the
60p looks between the two cameras.
So, let's take a look.
Now since I'm working on the 24 frames per second project
I shot it at 60p in full HD and then I dropped it down 40%.
So now we should be playing it back at 24 frames per second.
And the answer is yes there is a difference,
but this is what I love about comparisons.
You can take a look at the footage and decide for yourself
how much it really matters to you.
And one thing I did notice is the
difference in digital image stabilization.
Both cameras have an off, on,
and enhanced mode on image stabilization.
I had both set to ON and on the EOS R it looks pretty good,
but on the M50 it looked too distorty and
kinda had that warpy feeling which I'm not a fan of.
So now let's look at some 4K footage.
Most of you already know my views on 4K
and how it's a little bit overrated.
But let's take a look anyways.
Both cameras can shoot 4K,
but also, they both crop-in to the sensor.
I think we are going to need to take
a microscope to this shot.
So let's do a two-times crop-in,
five-times crop-in,
and ten-times crop-in.
Once again, here we are in a 4K shot.
Let's do a five-times crop-in and a ten-times crop-in.
And for any of you who haven't seen my last video
where I compare the 4K and HD on these cameras,
uh yeah, I'm not gonna be shooting
4K very often on this camera.
Now if you've been having trouble
telling the difference between the two,
once we get into low light it becomes a whole lot easier.
Sun's starting to set so 800 ISO on both cameras.
Both doing okay but now we're at 3,200 ISO
and there's a lot more grain on the M50.
But the EOS R is looking still pretty solid in my opinion.
Now we're at ISO 12,800 which is maxed out on the M50.
The M50 looks super soft and grainy but the EOS R,
it's not looking perfect but it's hanging in there.
And the fact that 12,800 doesn't look terrible on video,
I mean that really opens up a lot of possibilities.
We're starting to get to the point where
you can see more with your camera than with your own eye.
We haven't even looked at this footage on the computer yet
and you could already tell that
it's like way cleaner on the EOS R.
The M50 is maxed out right here.
It can't go any higher.
The EOS R, on the other hand,
first I could even drop in that f-stop to 2.8
because this lens is faster,
but just for the sake of this
comparison I want to put it at f/4.
Forty thousand ISO and I'm really starting
to see some grain on the EOS R right now.
But it's a pretty significant different.
If we drop that f-stop to 2.8 also
then there's literally no comparison here.
Alright so what'd you guys think?
Do you guys actually think there's was a pretty
significant difference or we're you guys a little
bit unimpressed with the results?
If you're just getting in to filmmaking right now
or you don't have thousands of dollars
to throw down on a camera then get the M50.
It's really not a bad camera and I'm really happy
with what I've been able to accomplish with that camera.
Yeah it has it's limitations
but learning how to work around those
is what's going to make you a better filmmaker.
I say start small, learn the ins and outs of the camera,
develop your style,
and once you grow out of it
then it's time to move into this.
But by then this is going to be an outdated camera
and you can get this for a fraction
of the price it is right now and you can get
the EOS R Mark IV by then probably.
Or hey, maybe you already have
a lot of experience with cameras
and you know you want a full-frame camera
and you saw the side-by-side comparison
and you feel like you could achieve a lot more with this,
then hey, I love this camera.
Aside from YouTube I also work as a professional filmmaker.
So for me I'm able to look at this
more as an investment than just like a camera that I
really, really want for Christmas.
This has more professional features like C-Log,
which is a common picture profile used in bigger
Canon C-Series cameras.
And every time we take it on the job we usually have a
booking rental fee for it and all that.
So it's eventually going to pay itself off
if I use it enough, hopefully.
Or I might just be broke forever
but that's okay cause I still have this EOS R.
Both cameras, really really awesome.
You can't go wrong with either.
Now let's finish this off and get this video
over ten minutes by reading some comments.
Top comment was,
"Can we all 'UP'vote this video?"
I see what you're trying to do there Guru.
Second top comment.
"People should stop saying you look like
"the kid from the movie Up."
Yes, I agree with you because hey that's racist okay.
I'm Japanese. The kid from Up was like,
Chinese or Korean.
What ethnicity was the kid from Up?
He's modeled after Pete Sohn.
Oh my God. He's modeled after a real person.
You guys. You think I look like the kid from Up?
He's modeled after this actual human-being.
And he's Korean so you guys are being racist.
"The EOS R has terrible 4K quality though.
"You should check out the 4K quality
"on Sony or Panasonics instead.
"That is what sharp 4K looks like."
Oh dude. They're talking smack about you.
Next week I'm collabing with my boy Armando.
He's coming over.
He's bringing over his a7 III.
We'll find out if that's true.
"You look like the Asian version of Jimmy Neutron."
No. I don't need anymore
of these trends to start okay.
"UP(scale) to 4K."
"Nothing can stop me, I'm all the way..."
"What's UP with all these comments."
Okay I see what you guys are trying to do okay.
Shh.
"Hey I turned off my porn for this."
That's probably the nicest comment anyone's ever left me.
"You look like a chipmunk born human."
I don't look like anybody okay!
I look like myself.
My own individual right here.
