I do not know what a crunchy look means.

It's that "crunchy" look that photos can get when you over-process high ISO images that need a lot of noise reduction along with a lot of sharpening. Check the first "processed" moon shot (at 100%) in the following thread...

It's one of the reasons that high ISO images need to be really really sharp for best results.

ps. apologies to the OP in the other thread.

I understand that crunchy is not a clear technical term. But I was being literal. It definitely doesn't mean processed photos.

Maybe I should have made clear that I only shoot raw. Images from the m50 can have a very mechanical, non-natural look to them. My assessment is that it's a combination of a noisy sensor in combination with the reduced color accuracy from the m/m100.

Thankfully my t2i still works as I shot style, fashion, portaits and landscape with it for a few years. The color is a whole another planet compared to these newer bodies. No exaggeration, night shots on a t2i look wildly different and more colorful than on a M50 or m62.

That said - Trying to elaborate on processed photos doesn't make any sense and isnt helpful.

I do my image quality tests in very familiar environments which I have plenty of reference to compare against. It's a great way to test cameras and much better than random shots of very different subject matter. The only reason I started using the M50 again is because of the issues I had with the m62. I was salivating as a thought of 32 megapixel high quality near 5d3 images in a small carry around with a flip screen so I can also do my landscapes.

In the meantime I'm actively taking photos between the M50 and the m62. I'll keep comparing and taking notes. I still like feel that these bodies are nowhere close to the reliability of the original m- just taking good photos without worrying about anything.

I’m mainly curious about the autofocus issues that you’re experiencing with the M6ii.  Can you describe your settings and technique?  Maybe I can help (the M6ii has proven to be incredibly capable with what I shoot).
