The M50 was unveiled 2 years later than the E-M10 II and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras have the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before delving straight to a more detailed comparison, here is a concise introduction of how the M50 scores against the E-M10 II in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS M50 and Olympus OM-D E-M10 II. The full galleries are available at Canon M50 Gallery and Olympus E-M10 II Gallery.

In case you're intending to lug around your camera regularly, you will need to factor in its weight and volume.

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you have attached at that time. Below is a front view proportions comparison of the M50 against the E-M10 II.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability score of the M50 and E-M10 II is 79 and 82 respectively.

Sometimes, it is very hard to picture the contrast in sensor measurements only by going through specs. The graphic below will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the M50 and E-M10 II.

As you can plainly see, both of the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The M50 using its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF simpler and the Canon M50 will provide greater detail having an extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images a bit more aggressively. The fresher M50 provides a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
