M50? M50 II?

IMO, the M50, is the successor to the M5. In Japan it's known as the KISS M, which KISS is reserved for Rebel series. It's Canon's nod that the M50 finally meets the Rebel bar. I agree btw.

However comma, the M50 Mark II, should be coming Q4 to Asia this year per the rumors, which I believe, and Q1-Q2 next year to everyone else. Given Canon's production constraints lately and COVID, this seems logical. They did this with the EOS M3, but for marketing reasons that round.

What the rumors don't say is what sensor will be in it. I'd bet my lunch the M6 II sensor is... Also, since the M50 is the mid-range/affordable option, I'd bet my lunch IBIS isn't onboard. That's probably coming to some higher end M which is also rumored and may in fact be as soon as two weeks from now as I understand Canon's launching stuff late this month.
