Today, I continued my discussion of which camera to purchase, the Canon M50 or the T8I. Much of the last couple of days were spent researching the benefits of using a mirrorless camera compared to a mirrored camera. The general conclusion that I reached was that the mirror is only really useful for professional photography. Plus, I already have my T6 which has a mirror if I was going to be taking professional pictures.
More importantly, however, the M50 has DPAF (Dual pixel autofocus). This means that the camera has an automatic focus which is one of the fastest mechanisms in the camera world. This is specifically helpful when videoing as I won't have to be constantly manually adjusting the focus of the lens when objects or people enter and exit the frame. On top of that, the M50 also has a superior automatic system for adjusting the ISO, Aperture, and F-Stop in video mode which will make it much easier to use when the lighting scenarios change while filming.
Overall, I figured the M50 was the better camera to suit my needs. I ended up buying it Sunday night and I have been playing with it ever since, it has definitely lived up to my expectations and I can't wait to film this project with it.
