Do you have (still have) a Sony RX100-7? How would you compare the performance of the RX100-7 to the M50? She replaced, but kept her Sony a6000.

I love the way that the M50 feels. It's been hard not to buy one myself. However, I do have an a6000 too. If I were buying today I'd buy the Canon M50 and the 18-150 lens...instead of the Sony a6--- series.

Hi,

I cannot commend on the a6, but my RX 100 VII is a fine camera to take everywhere.
It is expensive when bought as "new" but when you buy a used one in good condition it is well worth the money!

For critical shots (e.g. landscape or historical building) with lots of detail and in low light the APS-C sensor will still deliver and retain more fine detail than any modern 1" sensor with the lens in use as limiting factor.
The M6 with EF-M 18-150mm has a slight edge in IQ over the RX100 VII, but it is really close up to ISO800. Starting with ISO1600 any large sensor will show a clear advantage over 1".

Thanks so much!

Going back a few years, we travelled to Newfoundland in a small car. I had breathing equipment and a camera bag.  So....no space!  I used my Canon G9 a lot on that trip. I could have done without the dslr equipment in the big photo bag.

6 months ago My wife bought an M50 with a great lens; I've considered buying the same. She bought it with the intention of shooting video with it....

I'm glad to see your comments on both cameras.  M50 and RX100-7.

I agree with your comment about buying used; I bought my RX100-2 used and it was a good purchase once I put a grip on it.  They are so slippery without a grip.

I don't have an M50 yet, but I'm very impressed with the M series cameras.
