I've had lots of various micro four thirds cameras and lenses these last few years. I sold them all to swap back to a bridge camera. However I do miss the fun of having different lenses and having a camera that I can make as versatile as I'd like. I quite fancy trying an APS-C sized sensor and would hope it will be an upgrade on previous cameras. I do value having a light package which is why I had m43.

Is the Canon EF-M still going strong?

Are there any good used older models worth a look? Ideally I want something cheap and lightweight. Viewfinder isn't massively important to me, but I did like a flip screen over a tilt screen, but not essential.

I too prefer the flip screen over the tilt so I would recommend any of the 2 M50 variants (M50 or M50 Mk2). They are both great cameras. Mkii is a software upgrade (giving improvements in the areas of autofocusing etc). They have a great built-in EVF . If you can afford the M50 Mk2 get that but the M50 is good too. I shoot weddings with these cameras so that should tell you a little about their quality. Highly recommended platform (EF-M) even though Canon has been neglecting us of late whilst it develops the more expensive RF (full-frame) and RF-S (APS-C) platforms.
