So like the original M50, vlogger target. No info about the 4K crop. But DPAF in 4k seems enabled.
For me that's a good thing for a possible M5 II (more still oriented)

If it can do 1080p/120fps, then it surely has to be a new sensor.
Line skipping, no AF, cropped mode, everything is possible, but i don't believe Canon would develop another 24Mp sensor next the the 32Mp sensor and the existing 24Mp sensor. Canon didn't even develop another 30ish Mp sensor for the RF mount, hence the Mp gap between the R6 and R5. Why would Canon bother to develop a new 24Mp crop sensor?
Could turn out to have some advantages over the m6ii if that is the case (slightly faster readout because of lower res).
They didn't. It's an M50 with new software on it, mainly AF software. They moved around some of their modules written for the M6 Mark II (AF) and video streaming (G7X Mark III) and recompiled the firmware.
I said it a LONG time ago, Canon can and should do continuous eye-AF for the M50 via a firmware update. Well they did it, but you have to buy a new M50 Mark II to get it now. That's just silly.
Canon really should offer this as a paid, or better yet, free, firmware upgrade when they launch the M50 Mark II. They won't.
Well that makes the decision on buying an M6 Mark II an easy one for folks wanting to upgrade from their existing M50 on the plus side...
