Canon M50 vs Canon R6

Below, we are evaluating the Canon M50 and Canon R6, one is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Pro Mirrorless and both of them are produced by Canon. The sensor resolution of the M50 (24MP) and the R6 (20MP) is fairly similar but the M50 (APS-C) and R6 (Full frame) possess totally different sensor size.

The M50 was revealed 3 years before the R6 which is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before we go through a more detailed comparison, below is a simple overview of how the M50 scores against the R6 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS M50 and Canon EOS R6. The full galleries are available at Canon M50 Gallery and Canon R6 Gallery.

For anyone who is going to travel with your camera often, you'll need to factor in its weight and size. The Canon M50 comes with outer measurements of 116mm x 88mm x 59mm (4.6" x 3.5" x 2.3") along with a weight of 390 grams (0.86 lbs) whilst the Canon R6 has specifications of 138mm x 98mm x 88mm (5.4" x 3.9" x 3.5") along with a weight of 680 grams (1.50 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you are working with at that moment. Below is the front view measurement comparison of the M50 versus the R6.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability score of the M50 and R6 is 79 and 61 respectively.

Oftentimes, it is very tough to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions only by going over a spec sheet. The pic underneath will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the M50 and R6.

Clearly, both the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The M50 having a tinier sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Canon M50 will deliver more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged M50 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
