Certainly. Indeed, so far I haven't found a good side-by-side comparison or even a site where both mk2 cameras were tested in a similar way, but hopefully links below would be of some use.

While not very scientific tests, when comparing to my experience with M6 mkII (also represented well on other Youtube AF-test videos), to me the new M50's eye-AF algorithms look improved.

Link 1 - M50mk2 Eye-AF Test around 3:40 mark

and

Link 2 - M50mk2 review around 4:15

I'm interested in this topic as often recommended here spot-AF had not delivered on a few occasions (especially with environmental portraits, despite the AF point covering person's face, the camera focused on the surrounding foliage slightly behind - and actually very similar phenomenon was being discussed on the Canon R forum).

Of course I'm tempted to, at some point (Black Friday maybe?), just buy the M50mk2 and compare it side-by-side, but hopefully someone else in this forum has gone that (questionable) path already.

It sure does look like the eye focus works better than the on my M6II in the youtube video.

Maybe better than my RP.

Maybe they have one at Best Buy I can try. Last time I checked they still had a M50 on display.
