I wanted a camera that was just a little more feature filled than a phone. An entry level camera that can be up and running quickly in auto mode, as I read and learn more about photography. I chose a Canon M50 with a 15mm - 45mm lens, which I got for $509, shipped.

I mostly wanted a camera for action shots, such as big game fishing, all types of auto and motorcycle racing and things like that. I really needed to be able to add a polarized lens for fishing on choppy water, to kill the glare a bit. The camera also features 4K video, but I doubt that will be a feature that I'd use much, if at all.

I read a lot, before making a choice, and the M50 seems to be just right, for me, a person who has only a basic understanding of photography , if that, but according to reviews, it can be pressed into action in an emergency by an advanced/pro photographer and give "decent" results.

Anyone have any thoughts about the M50, they'd like to share? Remember, I'm pretty much a flat out newb.
