Re: SL3/250D 1080p Quality? Any improvement over SL2/200D?

In the time since posting this thread I did actually pickup an M50. After comparing video quality to my RX10 (original) though, I ended up selling it.

I was terribly disappointed with the ability of the M50 to resolve detail in 1080p, See the following 100% crop comparisons from video captures:

The M50 just looks so unnatural compared to the RX10, with what to me looks like strange artifacts caused by over-sharpening.

So my conclusion is that no, the SL3 is probably no better than the SL2, and any  perceived improvements in detail are simply due to increased default sharpening.
