The M50 has about a stop better low light AF performance. The 15-45mm kit lens can't autofocus at all in dim light on my M6 in the 35-45mm range where it goes from f/5.6 to f6.3. (I think the M5 is the same as the M6 for this.) The M50 can.

That sounds good! I've had focus problems with my M and M3 ef-m 55-200mm mounted in low light / low contrast situations, i.e. sunset at the sea. In the same situations my 5d3/7d2 can focus with Sigma 100-400 f5-6.3 or Tamron 150-600mm without any problems. I've red that M5/M6 would not give much more help. Great if M50 would do it better! Wish it had more external controls...
