Hi! Just putting a post up, I am a beginner, photographer, and I mostly want to capture landscape/nature photos. I have a limit of about $500-$600 to spend. Just wondering what camera would be right for me. Thanks :)) Also, any beginner tips are appreciated.🙂

Issues with SDXC memory cards being used in Rebels seems limited to only the “entry level” ####D bodies, but not the “advanced beginner” ###D Rebel bodies like the T6I, T7I, T8i, etc.

The M50 Mark II and the EOS M series is a dying series likely getting replaced by the RF Mount APS-C cameras.

Unless Canon is prepared to make major adjustments to its pricing of RF mount cameras, there will be no replacement for the M50 with an RF mount. There is a far greater gap between the M50 and the R10 in terms of price than there is in terms of capability. And even if I did think the M50 was going to be discontinued soon, I wouldn't consider it a bad investment. (And even if what you say were to come true, it doesn't justify recommending a T7 to someone who indicates they can afford an M50 at the present time.)

The EF-M mount is dead. No more investment is being put into. All funds have gone to the RF Mount. You'll be stuck in a dead system and no where to go when your gear fails. You have to start all over again.

I take good care of my equipment, so I wouldn't expect anything to fail, though even if something does there is enough critical mass of M50 users out there that I shouldn't have too much trouble finding a used or refurbished replacement. I wouldn't expect additional EF-M lenses even if Canon does intend to continue making the M50, as I think what's available covers most of what people buying a camera in its price range would need. Most M50 users who end up with more than a couple lenses usually acquire some EF or EF-S lenses (I have two of those in addition to my 4 EF-M lenses), so those at least will be portable to future platforms, should they someday have the need and be able to justify moving up to a higher-end system.

Hi,
I purchased a Rebel SL1, perfect for my petite hands. I had it for 6+ years before finally purchasing a full-frame (Canon RP). I am a landscape photographer who used my camera in rough conditions, using tree branches and rocks near water as natural tripods and shooting in rain (infrequently but I did and quickly dried it with a cloth). It excelled and I have some really great images from that camera!
I did upgrade my lens though to the Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM, which had excellent image quality.
Everyone has different tastes though, so perhaps you can demo something from a local camera shop or friend and see how you like it. That's how I decided on the SL1.
Whatever camera you get, I hope you enjoy it
