The 60D was revealed 8 years earlier than the M50 and that is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Canon 60D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon M50 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go in to a in depth comparison, below is a simple summary of how the 60D grades against the M50 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 60D and Canon EOS M50. The full galleries are provided at Canon 60D Gallery and Canon M50 Gallery.

If you are intending to lug around your camera often, you will have to factor in its weight and measurements.

Oftentimes, it's tough to picture the difference between sensor measurements purely by looking at a spec sheet. The graphic underneath will help provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the 60D and M50.

As you can see, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Canon M50 to give extra detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The older 60D is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
