That's a great response. I wasn't expecting something so detailed. Thanks for taking the time to write down your observations. You're pushing me further toward the M50--all I want is something compact with great IQ; I prefer to adjust all settings manually on-the-fly. Sorry--one final question: have you noticed much difference in AF performance/sensitivity between the two? The M50 is starting to look like a pretty good deal at this point. I'm thinking it would be hilarious to use it with the 70-200 2.8II attached 😂

I find the AF a bit improved on the M50 - it's also functionally improved; I like to use a single AF point and on the M5, selecting the smallest size locks out a lot of related functions, whereas this is less the case with the M50 and it will switch automatically between sizes where it has to in some cases, whereas the M5 requires me to remember to switch some settings back.  Certain lenses with the M50 allow more of the image area to be used for AF, and the individual AF areas, being more numerous even for lenses with less than the maximum number available, are smaller and thus able to be more specific when required.
