Re: Should I buy the M50 MKII?

R2, the camera you are using is great but could have been designed better like the Canon R7 with the integrated EVF. Don't you think? The Canon M50 MKII has an integrated EVF and we can use the LCD screen. I never did understand why Canon designed the camera you are using that way, so that an EVF has to be added.

Today I took video with my Canon M50 MKII using the EVF. Now that I learned how to change the tiny video start/stop button to the larger shutter button in the menu, it was really cool. I have tried taking video with the LCD screen with my DSLR, but on bright sunny days it's especially difficult. Do you take video with your camera?

Today's experiment with video was interesting. I didn't quite understand it at first, but with some trial and error it worked out great. When I fully depressed the shutter button in movie mode it would record. Just lifting off the shutter button would not stop the video. I had to fully depress the shutter button again to stop it. It was fun. I can't wait to try it some more. I've been a still photographer for a very long time. I see the handwriting on the wall; video is going to continue to expand in use and importance. The sound and visual aspects of it are amazing.

One fellow on the Rebel forum who had a Canon T3i (600D) camera and just bought a Canon 7D camera uploads his video to YouTube (as unlisted) for free. Then we can view it on Dpreview.
