Re: M100 to M50? Worth upgrade?

Pretty sure that wasn’t a C&C request on the sample shot. Just a quick example of a speed light bounced with a diffuser being a better solution in low light many times.

The thing I like about the speed light solution (with bounce and diffuser) is you can avoid those annoying silhouette shadows from a built in flash.

So to the OP, by virtue of it having a hot shoe, the M50 will help.  But then there’s a learning curve to using a speed light.  You can adjust the output.  You can do cool things with fill flash using high speed sync when you want that nice backlit portrait.  You can do cool things with light trails using second curtain flash.  Fun for the kids writing with sparklers after dark.
