Re: The less than obvious

If the mkII is better, does it matter whether if it comes from firmware or hardware?

All what matters to me is how much better the mkII performs, and i don't give a **** if it's from software or hardware.

Furthermore: The most important spec of the M50 is the low price. When I was selling mine, almost all the reactions where only interested in the M50 + 15-45mm kitlens. Most customers just want something with a nice articulating touch screen, good handling, a viewfinder, optical zoom, and a compact package. Almost nobody is going to notice any improvements over the mkI, and almost nobody does want to pay for the glass needed to make that M50 shine. With that kitlens AF isn't that critical anyway. It doesn't matter if the AF grabs the eye or the ear. It's all fine. It's actually very kind Canon did the effort to do that recompiling, as for most customers the MkII badge alone is all what matters.
