He added, "The EOS M50 Mark II continues to pave the way for photography and video enthusiasts to experience a lightweight interchangeable lens camera with many similar features as our full-frame professional mirrorless cameras.”

For the family or barkada that strives for high-quality images when capturing their precious moments or for the budding Youtuber, the added and improved capabilities of the Canon EOS M50 Mark II camera make the upgrade to an ILC extremely appealing. The new features, which build upon the strengths of the predecessor, include:

1. Improved autofocus, including eye autofocus both for stills and video
