Canon M6 vs Canon SX50 HS

Here is a thorough overview of the Canon M6 vs Canon SX50 HS, former being a Advanced Mirrorless while the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom and both of them are built by Canon. There exists a substantial gap between the image resolutions of the M6 (24MP) and SX50 HS (12MP) and the M6 (APS-C) and SX50 HS (1/2.3") posses totally different sensor measurements.

The M6 was introduced 4 years later than the SX50 HS and that is quite a big difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras feature different body design with the Canon M6 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Canon SX50 HS being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before diving into a thorough comparison, here is a short summation of how the M6 grades against the SX50 HS in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS M6 & Canon PowerShot SX50 HS. The whole galleries are provided at Canon M6 Gallery & Canon SX50 HS Gallery.

For anyone who is intending to carry your camera often, you'll have to think about its weight and volume.

Typically, it can be hard to envision the difference between sensor sizing merely by reading a spec sheet. The graphic below should provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the M6 and SX50 HS.

Clearly, each of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The M6 using its larger sensor will make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon M6 will deliver more detail using its extra 12MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The younger M6 is going to have an advantage in sensor technology.
