Canon M vs Canon M50 II

Below is a extended assessment of the Canon M versus Canon M50 II, both Entry-Level Mirrorless cameras and both are built by Canon. There is a sizable difference among the image resolutions of the M (18MP) and M50 II (24MP) but they enjoy the exact same sensor dimensions (APS-C).

The M was brought out 9 years prior to the M50 II and that is a fairly significant difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of the cameras come with different body type with the Canon M being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Canon M50 II being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving in to a in-depth comparison, below is a brief overview of how the M scores vs the M50 II for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS M & Canon EOS M50 Mark II. The entire galleries are viewable at Canon M Gallery & Canon M50 II Gallery.

If you are planning to lug around your camera frequently, you're going to have to take into account its weight and volume.

Oftentimes, it is very hard to visualise the difference in sensor measurements purely by researching specifications. The photograph here might give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the M and M50 II.

To sum up, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Canon M50 II to render extra detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older M will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
