It sports a 3-inch 1.04 million dot Vari-angle LCD touchscreen that allows flexibility in varied angles while shooting. The M50 also features the 4K Image-Grab function, letting you grab a frame from a 4K video and converting it into a high-res still image.

In terms of connectivity, both cameras support Wi-Fi and NFC. Users can control the camera from the phone through Live Remote Shooting via the Canon Camera Connect App. The Canon EOS 1500D retails at RM2,349 for the body and an EFS18-55 IS II lens, while the EOS 3000D retails at RM1,799 for the body and an EFS 18-55mm DC III lens.
Canon Speedlite 470EX-AI
The Canon Speedlite 470EX-AI is the first auto-intelligent flash in the world. It uses auto-intelligent (AI) bounce technology, which means that the motors and sensors automates the adjusting, configuration, and tweaking of the conventional flash, so it can provide users the optimum angle and the perfect light without you setting it yourself.
Furthermore, it comes in two modes — full-auto and semi-auto. Full-auto is fitting for beginners, as it adjusts itself according to your surroundings and provides you with the illumination you need without thinking about it. The semi-auto is for the intermediate and advanced users who want to prioritize their control of light, by changing the angle they want the flash to be, and the flash will remember it no matter how you hold it later.
Unfortunately, Canon Malaysia did not provide the official pricing for this auto-intelligent flash.
