Re: Need to upgrade from T3i. (SL3 vs M50)

So here's the deal:

Get the SL3 and here's why.

1. You can use it like a mirrorless camera by using the Live View mode.

2. Save battery life by looking through the viewfinder. You can get well over 1,000 shots on a single charge vs like 300 on the M50.

3. Doesn't need an adapter to put EF and EF-S lenses on it, giving it a huge advantage for lens compatibility.

4. Eye tracking works in both video recording AND shooting photos as well as when using Servo AF (the M50 can't do eye detection during servo AF or shooting video).

5. Unless 24fps 1080p is your jam, get the SL3. It's mirrorless when you want it to be, and a DSLR for when you want battery life.

One final note, the NEW M50 Mark II can do all the things that the SL3 can, including the eye tracking in servo AF mode and video), due to the new firmware it has on it.

I hope this helps!
