Thanks for your reply, Ralph - it's very helpful. My son also agrees that the 850D probably isn't worth the extra.

I hadn't realised that not all lenses fit the mirrorless cameras, so that's good to know, particularly as we have some lenses already.

I'm not sure the reduction in size/weight of the M50 is too important for me, as the D250 is lighter than the D700 and I've managed that OK (apart from problems with stability with overhead shots). If I want to take a camera out on walks, or to have it slung over my shoulder while gardening or entertaining the dog I can fall back on my compact.

Ideally I'd get my hands in the different models and see how they feel, but that's not easy right now.

Hello

as far as I’m aware all lenses that fit a canon DSLR will also fit a canon M mount mirrorless body by use of the adaptor that from what I gather works flawlessly given it’s a canon product. So you could certainly go M50 etc and use your sons lenses.
