Should I buy the M50 MKII?

Yeah go for it

Hi,

Indeed your ‘camera’ needs to stay ahead of the iPhone camera, so time for an upgrade of camera body and lens.

The current generation of cameras offers faster and more accurate AF, higher FPS ( nice when you shoot action) and better low light resolution. With a current generation zoom lens you have much better reach + IQ. And you can get better subject isolation ( bokeh / back ground blur).

with all the proper respect i would call you a ‘buy and hold’ user : once you have a working set of lens and body - you will use it 5-7 years. perhaps you add 1 prime, but unlike many on this forum you will not be constantly adding lenses to you camera backpack !

this means that you do not need to worry about M becoming obsolete.

the M with M 18-150 mm lens would be a super set.

the R10 with new RF 18-150 would be a bit better and more $$$

the RP with the RF 24-240 would be the 3rd option again better and $$$$$$

Just pick what feels best ergonomically, mentally and wallet wise. ( and what’s available within your requested horizon )
