I've been looking at Canon M50 or Canon 90D , big differences. I also want an external microphone and the 'dead cat filter" for wind.

I'd hit up @CptOvo and see what he uses. He's been tagged here a few times but has been MIA, so you may have to go to his YouTube channel and ask.

It is an action cam. Really just depends on what and how you are shooting. The action cameras are good at image stabilization, light weight, waterproof and you can get any kind of mount to hold them. If you plan to use a tripod or similar a full size camera will give you more options.

What’s his channel? The emporium?

Got a Canon M50, Manfrotto tripod, Rode microphone and some memory cards. I also have a GoPro I've never used and a Joby tripod thing with cell phone mount.

I have the Cannon M50 with a decent shotgun mic. I've been very pleased with the combo for use on my channel.
