Today is the two year anniversary of Canon's announcement of the M50 Mark II, which was just a minor update of the 2018 version.

I don't expect it to happen, but it would be nice if Canon "shocked the world" by releasing a new M model.

I really like mine !

I already had a M50 but I bought it to see how improved the focus features really were.

My M50II does track better than my M6II and has better eye focus.

That is some 8 MB of firmware improvement !

M50II will mount my 11-22mm. 32mm and 56mm lenses too. What a big plus !

Took it to the Plant City car show yesterday ! No regrets !

If you were upgrading from an earlier M50 or M6 today, would you get the M50 II or the M6 II ? I currently have an M6 (and EVF-DC1) and I'm trying to decide which to get.

Better AF is certainly high on the list of wants. Resolution I'm not too hung up on, 24MP is ok for me. Can focus point be selected using screen as touch-pad with the M6 II while using an optional EVF?

Yes. This was one of many upgrades over the M6. I love touch and drag for focus point selection.

I haven't found a way to do that on the M6.

You can’t do it on the M6. The only respect, in my opinion, in which the M5 was better than the M6.
