Focus speed and accuracy of M50 mark II vs. M6 mark II?
1

Greetings - first time poster.  I have a M6, and love this as my travel camera, getting the same sensor as my 80D in such a small package is great.  My problem is focus performance of the M6 is very poor compared to my 80D.  As a travel camera I use the M6 for everything from landscapes to wildlife and birds.  It seems the 1 spot auto focus area of the M6 is so large it misses focus on the subject, for example birds with leaves and branches nearby.  I've tried manual focusing in these situations but always seem to miss the "shot" fumbling with focus.  Maybe it's my method but the 80D works great for me, so I blame the camera ;).   I'm thinking of getting something with better focus capability,  I would appreciate getting feedback on focus performance of the M50 II and if possible compare to the M6 II.  I've read quite a bit on how good the M6 II is but little on the M50 II.  Thanks.
