I am looking to get myself a semi decent camera. The main use points will be video for a small YouTube channel (mostly talking head stuff) as well as capturing better quality pictures/videos of the family. Budget £500-600


I think I have narrowed it down to either the Canon M50 or the Fuji X-T200. I have come down to these two for the fully articulating screen so that I can check I am in focus/shot etc and they both have microphone inputs.


Downsides of the M50 are:
1.6x crop and loss of auto focus on the 4k
EF-M lenses not being compatible with higher up/newer Canon cameras


Downsides of the X-T200 are:
15 minute limit on 4k
Expensive lenses (but they are compatible with the higher up/newer Fuji cameras)


Has anyone got experience with either camera? Should I be looking at another camera completely? Any help is appreciated.
 
I'd not recommend the Canon EOS-M line, lack of lens choice and the rumored discontinuation of the EOS-M line. https://www.canonrumors.com/rumored...cations-and-the-end-of-the-line-for-eos-m-cr1

Look into the Sony ZV-1 as has been suggested as it is a good hybrid camera.

There are also a number of Olympus and Panasonic (Micro Four Third) cameras within your budget range.

Have you looked into used gear?

I did look at the ZV-1 but I keep going back to something with swappable lenses, if I do get into photography more then I can just upgrade the body.

I am also open to used gear, I used to have a Nikon D5000 and the lenses I had were bought used from MPB. Would your recommendations change if looking at the used market?
