The M50 was released 4 years earlier than the R3 and that is quite a big difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before diving straight into a thorough comparison, below is a simple introduction of how the M50 matches up vs the R3 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS M50 & Canon EOS R3. The complete galleries are provided at Canon M50 Gallery & Canon R3 Gallery.

Quite often, it can be hard to see the contrast between sensor measurements merely by going over a spec sheet. The photograph underneath may provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the M50 and R3.

Clearly, each of the cameras have got the exact same megapixel count albeit not the same sensor measurements. The M50 has the tinier sensor which is going to make obtaining shallow DOF trickier. The older M50 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
