    ⚡ QOTD: What camera are you shooting with right now and what is your favorite lens? LMK! 👇👇👇 Watch other videos in our budget YouTube equipment series here: bit.ly/BestBudgetGear
  • @UrbanCastle
    The Canon EF-M 11-22 is such a game changer. Had been hunting high and low for the right lens (shooting interior photos of homes, as well as vlogging), and this one is exactly what I was hoping for. Thanks for the great advice.
  • @jhalscott
    I’m just getting into a vlog for my law firm and found this channel. I’ve watched dozens of these now, and as a lawyer with near zero experience with this stuff, I’ve found everything you say super easy to understand, thorough and the examples and use cases to be fantastic. Subscribed. Thank you!
  • @JacobColvin
    Thank you for the tips! Also, you look great on camera, very photogenic!
  • Sean I just got my brand new Cannon M50 and this video couldn't come at a better time.
  • @leanneland
    I picked up the M50 with the 15-45 which I love. I bought the 11-22 as well for shooting top down art videos, and travel vlogs. But I find myself using the kit lens more, it’s pretty impressive.
  • I just purchased the M50 and the Canon EF-M 22mm f2 lens. Thanks for making these videos so easy to understand for beginners. So many tech videos intimidate me but you really break it all down in a way that is so digestible. Can't tell you how comforting that is! I always come to your channel when I want to get something new and your suggestions are always on point.
  • I have been looking for detailed reviews of various lenses; you wouldn't believe how hard that is to find. A video may be described as such, yet it's worthless rambling, so thank you for the actual info! So happy I found your channel!
  • @MooseAutos
    We’ve been using the m50 for our skits, and the one piece of advice I would give is to learn more about manual exposure. For blogs auto exposure is fine, but for something like a staged skit, it’s a lot better to take a film making approach for exposure and white balance. It was a hard lesson to learn but hope someone out there can use this advice and get a higher quality look for their videos!
  • @whatsupdate
    Currently M50 with the 22mm ef-m lens, bought both on Amazon using your affiliate link. Thanks for all the great content! I'd love to see what the canon 11-24 ef lens coupled with a speed booster would do for the 4k on this camera.
  • @Young360
    I got my M50 for a month, and now I totally see why you are recommending it to the vloggers! Initially, I didnt think I would get another lens other than the kit, but I love M50 that I should consider. Thanks for the vid!!
  • @TinkerManMick
    Gotta say Sean, of all the YouTube intos i have seen in years and years of youtube now, yours is my favourite!
  • We started with just an EOS-M (original) and found that the adapter for EF lenses to be the best buy since you can source used EF glass for so cheap. Saved the $100 cost of the adapter several times over and got much better glass then we would have had otherwise. Just have to keep in mind that aps-c crop factor when figuring out your lens selection. - The great thing about these little mirrorless options is just how much freedom they offer. Heck, if using a small lens we can run our EOS-M on a cell phone gimbal. The low weight really comes in handy. Especially during long filming days when not using a shoulder rig where your arms would get tired.
  • @jlgulleydesigns
    I just picked up the 22mm f/2 for my m50... Absolutely love it, aside from the nifty fifty for portraits, the 22mm will be left on my camera constantly... I evantually want to upgrade my nifty fifty to the 1.4 or maybe even the 1.2
  • @L.DOT.P.
    Amazing content, amazing delivery. Its almost as if you guy know what a budding influencer is asking... and answered like EVERY question ahead of time. Great job think media!
  • @makingmark818
    I have the EOS M6 with the 15-45mm kit lens and pretty much love everything about it! The only thing I feel like I am missing is the viewfinder but it hasn't been a deal breaker. I'll probably spring to get the attachment eventually. Thanks for always putting out useful content that is geared towards small creators. Give's us motivation to keep going.
  • @1shotray
    Thanks Sean! I’m downsizing from a Canon 5D with a heavy 24-70mm EF L 2.8 lens. I’ve found that the M50 MK II with the 15-45 EF-M lens is phenomenal. It fits my needs for shooting portraits, groups, and architecture for a magazine client of mine. We’ll see how my clients perceive my abilities when they see such a small system on the set. Lol
  • @StylishIrisman
    Very informative, thank you! Just got my M50. The only problem now is, I want all of these lenses 😂 went for the white M50 too, it's a gorgeous camera! I've been watching your videos for the last 2 years, finally took the leap and started a channel 4 months ago. Also bought YouTube secrets, a great read ✌️ Your two channels help me lots constantly!
  • @infospain4880
    Just the video I was waiting for! Thanks so much Think Media. Cheers
  • @tarynriver
    I swear you’re the only camera person I can watch who explains things in a way i understand I watch everyone else and I feel dumb I watch you and I understand everything
