Re: Should I buy the M50 MKII?

Well, I did find another way the Canon M50 MKII works better with video this evening. A person can change the video on and off button to be the shutter button (instead of that difficult tiny button on the top right side). First, select the movie symbol on the dial at the top of the camera. Then go to the red menu number 8. Click the Shutter btn functions for movies. Click Fully-press and then Start/Stop mov rec (movie recording).

So, when you are taking still pictures, on the dial on top you could select M, Av, or Tv or whatever. If you want to change to video, again select the movie symbol. You'll find that the shutter button can be used to start and stop the video recording (just the way you set it up in the menu). This is HUGE.

I hope I described it right. Check it out and see what you think. Let me know if I did not describe it correctly. So, this is how mirrorless cameras for video can be fantastic. You can use the viewfinder for good video composition on bright sunny days (unlike a DSLR) and can easily start & stop the video what that larger shutter button so that editing is reduced.
