Canon M50 vs Nikon S230

On this page, we are looking at the Canon M50 versus Nikon S230, one is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Ultracompact by competitors Canon and Nikon. There exists a huge gap among the image resolutions of the M50 (24MP) and S230 (10MP) and the M50 (APS-C) and S230 (1/2.3") have different sensor measurements.

The M50 was announced 9 years after the S230 which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras have different body design with the Canon M50 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Nikon S230 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before going into a in depth comparison, here is a simple introduction of how the M50 scores versus the S230 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS M50 and Nikon Coolpix S230. The whole galleries are provided at Canon M50 Gallery and Nikon S230 Gallery.

For those who are intending to travel with your camera often, you're going to have to think about its weight and volume.

Quite often, it is very tough to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions purely by seeing a spec sheet. The pic underneath will help give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the M50 and S230.

Clearly, both of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The M50 having a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Canon M50 will produce greater detail with its extra 14MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics more aggressively. The fresher M50 provides an advantage in sensor technology.
