Regret buying EOS M50

Canon EOS M50, EF 50 1.8 STM @ iso100 1/2500s, f2.2

Regretting for selling old EOS 70D and buying M50. I thought M50 has Advance Digic8-24Mega pixcels will give better result than 70D which is Digic5-20MP. I was wrong.

Look at the dove-double edge, and leaves-chromatic abrasion - this is taken with EF50mm 1.8 STM , 1/2500s f2.2 iso100.

Visible noise in iso800 in indoor shooting.

Is there any thing wrong with the setting - in the camera which i have to look for?

The focus appears to have fixed on the electric wires , not the building. The very soft right hand part of the image, would appear to be due to the lens.

Chromatic "abrasion" (aberration?) is a lens property strictly, has nothing to do with the camera. The picture is misfocused (not the fault of the camera), and the double edge may be oversharpening - you can set the amount of sharpening in camera.

This time, touch on the LCD to select where you want the camera to focus.

After the pic has been taken, you can config your camera to show where it has focused.

If I'm not mistaken, the M50 sensor has only advantages compared to the 70D, so at least in terms of image quality the M50 would always have at least a small edge. If your complaints are in areas like ergonomics or the benefits of an optical viewfinder that's a different question.

This seems like either getting used to the M50 so you're taking photos as well or a lemon body. Because there's literally no explanation for why a good M50 would take worse photos.

Yes I agree chromatic abrasion is by lens.

I compared old photos taken by 70D with same lens EF50-1.8STM - for the noise and abrasion, 70D was far better.

No editing was done. Since Raw image more than 20mp was not accepted by dpreview, I converted and saved to jpg by DPP of Canon. no editing done. standard picture style shot. I feel the sensor is inferior to 70D for this beginner level camera. Digic8 is only a processor.

Some of reviews I came across mentioned that image quality of M50 and 80D are same. How far it is true?

the M50 and 80D has the same sensor ....the M50 /80D sensor was a big improvement over older sensors like your 70D manely with dynamic range .. noise was also improved a little.. it was canons 1st chip with an onboard digital to analog converter .

..do you use auto settings ?..is the M50 choosing different setting to your 70D?...is the metering different to the70D and are you having to brighten up the photos in post ?

I use the came for photograph, not for video. I've gone through reviews of this camera. but I can compare with What I had. So two stars.

Sure I will try few more tests, I tried indoor with EF70-200 F4 IS - with built in flash, didn't get satisfying results, again compared to the 70D.

i guess the flash on the M50 is not as powerful as the 70D ...but i would say that neither are powerful enough for a 70-200 zoom

.

.

...and it must be restated that:

"How is that some folks can take a camera (any camera for that matter) - and in this particular case, the M50 - and wind up capturing superb results?  And on the other hand, how is it that for some others, they look at the same camera and wind up with horrible results  Is it the camera, or is it the user?  I venture to say, that in most cases, it's the user."

Enough said...

picture style : nutral (old:standard + additional sharpness & contrast)

now IS: off

1/160s old 1/2500

same iso, same 50mm f1.8 lens

I feel IS on / additional sharpness in the picture style are the main issues for the problematic shot. but on 1/2500s ? double edges? (in previous image)

When you say “IS on,” you’re probably looking at one of two things:

1) There’s a setting that turns IS on or off on stabilized lenses that lack a hardware switch on the lens barrel (all stabilized EF lenses have one, while no EF-M lenses does). The lens you’re using does not have IS at all, so that setting is affecting precisely nothing.

2) There’s also a setting for “digital IS,” an on-sensor software based IS that kicks in when shooting video even if you’re using an unstabilized lens. However, since you’re shooting stills, that setting is again affecting precisely nothing.

tl;dr: whatever your problem is, it isn’t the IS setting.

Look at the dove-double edge, and leaves-chromatic abrasion - this is taken with EF50mm 1.8 STM , 1/2500s f2.2 iso100.

Im no master of the M50 so take it with some salt. I find it's ISO performance isn't mind blowing, i don't think this was meant to be a world beater in SNR. But the DR is better than it has been before (i owned a 70D and have raws still, the M50 has better DR), and it has 4mp more.

I don't find anything wrong with the sensor or processing, your focus is off though. The noise isn't the greatest but the M50 is capable of as much detail as any other 24mp apsc body, which is really about the lenses and how accurate the focus is. And CA isn't a fault of the sensor, it's 100% an attribute of the lens.

Check your AF settings, the lines of the building at the bottom are fairly sharp at 100%, the focus point looks to be somewhere behind the trees and in front of the building, a light year from that bird on the roof.

'chromatic abrasion' - that says it all.

I couldn't find DXOMARK Sensor Scores for EOS M50. Is this not applicable for this Camera?

I could See M100, M5, M6 dxo scores etc in dxomark.com

same sensor so any will be close enough

Just compared the original EF 50mm f1.8 lens on my old 70D with my new M50 using the Canon EF-M adaptor.

Pixel peeping using DPP Preview at 400%, at f1.8 ISO 100 the M50 image was sharper than the 70D, at ISO 200 and 400 the image on the M50 was also sharper, at ISO 800 both images were beginning to disintegrate, but the 70D to a greater extent, at ISO 1600, the 70D was quite extreme, the M50 still usable. At high ISO one would expect the M50 to outperform the 70D, however, in just one experiment, the M50 would apprear to be the better of the two throughout.
