Canon M50 vs Canon R5

Let's look a little more closely at the Canon M50 vs Canon R5, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Pro Mirrorless and they are both created by Canon. There exists a huge gap between the resolutions of the M50 (24MP) and R5 (45MP) and the M50 (APS-C) and R5 (Full frame) posses different sensor size.

The M50 was brought out 3 years prior to the R5 and that is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before we go right into a complete comparison, here is a quick overview of how the M50 matches up versus the R5 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS M50 and Canon EOS R5. The entire galleries are available at Canon M50 Gallery and Canon R5 Gallery.

In case you're looking to carry your camera regularly, you have to factor in its weight and measurements.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability score of the M50 and R5 is 79 and 59 respectively.

Typically, it is tough to visualize the contrast between sensor sizing simply by reading a spec sheet. The visual here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M50 and R5.

Clearly, both of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The M50 due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Canon R5 will offer you greater detail having its extra 21MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older M50 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
