In my opinion, get the M50 mark ii. It has an upgraded eyeAF that is definitely better than the m62. Also the focus is just way more reliable. It's a really good small body to use and you get a flip out screen and evf. And it's cheaper.

I've been thinking about getting the M50II in stead of my M6II, but there's no minimum shutter speed, and less dynamic range. Less Megapixels isn't a huge problem for me, but less dynamic range is a downside.

You will not see a difference in dynamic range between these two cameras. Trust me I'm the ultimate pixel keeper that cares about the best image quality I can squeeze out of these sensors. There's no difference.

Over the last few weeks I've been taking the M50 for a spin for some landscape stuff. The files are pretty good. You know what files are better? The original M. I'm holding on to that one because the colors are just so much better. Unfortunately with the m62, you're not going to see a lot more detail either.

I'm just giving you raw information from what I've experienced in the last 2 years. I've been actively trying to replace the original m (that's how I got the m50, but then the m62 dropped in price) but it's been a headache mixed with lower image quality than expected and auto focus issues. I still wouldn't quite recommend using a M50 to shoot portraits, because the files have a kind of crunchy look to them... it is a fairly noisy sensor compared to the m62.

Regardless of which one you get, test it tested and tested to make sure it's working properly. I hope you don't have to go through what I went through.

Cheers and happy shooting.

The M2, shares the same CFA and WB, but has better performance than the M. Not by a lot, but it’s there. There’s days I miss it. Everything is a trade these days. I do feel the M50s are a well rounded option.

Now the M10 is the magical question. Same sensor but DIGIC6. It does have a different AWB, but in theory if you shoot RAW, it should produce the same quality shots if you adjust in post.

The M6II has significantly more tonal range, not just pixel depth than the M50s, btw. It’s also about 2/3 stops better in low light. Again I do share you sentiments about the original M though. It’s my favorite color rendering, up there with the 5D Mark III.
