The following is a complete comparison of the Canon M50 and Canon M50 II, which are Canon’s entry-level mirrorless digital cameras. The M50 (24MP) and M50 II (24MP) have incredibly similar image resolutions and use the same identical sensor size (APS-C).
The M50 was released three years before the M50 II, a significant technological gap. Both of these cameras have the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).
Before we get into a more in-depth comparison, here’s a quick rundown of how the M50 compares to the M50 II in terms of mobility, imaging, features, and overall score.
