I'm considering one of these due to the compactness and recent price drops. I'm not really clear on what differentiates these two. They seem very similar in design,

I have not had a chance to play with it but just looking at the pictures it looks like the M50 can easily be controlled with one hand while the M5 with the left mode dial requires two to operate. 
While the extra dials/controls are nice,  for myself I much prefer the one handed operation. 
As a walk around camera it's nice to have a hand free (esp when with the family/kids) and when I'm using a heavier lens I like keeping my hand on the lens to steady it and not  having to move my hand back and forth between lens and body.
