Thanks for that great comparison. It sounds like the M50 is an improvement in performance and AF, but a step back in the physical controls and custom settings. I'll see what happens with the M50II pricing at the holidays, since it does sound like the M50 is going to stay out of stock.

For the M5 firmware, I did update that in the spring and didn't see any improvement in the lag. I don't know if somehow I'm missing something else or if it's also tied to some specific settings though? Does seem like there just isn't enough processing power in the M5.

I'd imagine the M50II would have a decent upgrade in processing power over the M50 to live stream to YouTube without issues. When livestreaming services at my church to YouTube we used to have huge lag issues until we upgraded to a PC with a high-powered processor and graphics card and boom - problem solved.

There is no difference in the processing power between the M50 and the Mark II, both have the same processor.

The main difference/improvements between the 2 is in the focus and video improvements .  When I purchased my M50 the M5 and the M6 were available, I almost pulled the trigger on the M5 (because it was the flagship) but decided to buy the newer technology in the M50 and I'm glad I did.
