Thank you for that very useful information. I am not great in PP. I use lightroom to give a bit more snap to the pictures, highlight shadows mostly.
I never used Photoshop I would not know where to start.....
Many people don't edit their images at all - and for this reason they may wish to use stronger settings than I do. With more contrast and lighter exposures than I do.

I generally use Photoshop to add a final tweak (touchups on faces etc) or to resize an image before saving it. Both of these things can be done in Lightroom or even other programs. Many people don't care to retouch their images at all. Just as it was before cameras went digital!

There's quite a few useful and impact settings in Lightroom that will certainly give your images more 'snap'. If you are even simply using basic tweaks now and then you should be able to get some excellent results. Here's a shot of one of my cats that I edited the other night. I used my built-in flash on my M6 and tilted it up towards the ceiling with my finger. I don't often use a flash but my room was dark. What I did to edit the picture was to clone out stray hairs and dust that were stuck to her fur. I added no sharpening. The image looks acceptable to me although others might be tempted to enhance the image further. The best thing about the EOS M cameras is that you can see instantly on the LCD whether or not the images are keepers.

Very nice......
The problem I am having switching to a M 50, is also this. A Digital mirrorless camera would make sense for me, because I cannot see well close. So I get in the viewfinder what I get and not have to look at the screen all teh time. Now this camera, is focused a lot on screen settings and touchscreen. So I need my glasses again.....
Sure except maybe setting an AF point, I could handle it from the viewfinder. Also the M 50 is always described as a beginners or blogger camera. I am not that deep into photo as you are, but the description, not really fits me. I am a holiday pictures taker, that wants to go a bit beyond. I love my Sony RX 100 m 3, the pictures that comes out of it, the colors, the contrast, the right exposure, if I am lazy, or have to go fast. But portraits background blur, I am missing that aspect too much. Although sometimes I can manage....
