Re: How substantial is the image quality difference between M50 and M6 markii?

I think we're getting a bit off topic now.  To wrap it up: picking my poison using a good filter is the best work around.

The M6II has full mechanical shutter. The M50 has not (just like the A7IV, RP, and a whole lot other cameras). The OP want's to use the camera with f/1.4 lenses with very high IQ.  I think it's worth it to get the M6II, mainly because of the Mp-count and dynamic range. Less so for avoiding cut of bokeh, but the full mechanical shutter is an advantage there.

I've always found the handling of the M50 being good enough for me. Using a button to toggle functions for that single dial works pretty well. The three dials of the M6II are better of course, but the M50 is workable. The M50 has more pleasing SOOC colours for portraits, and the eye AF recognizes eyes being smaller in the frame (further away).

Personally I've been thinking about the M50II, but I hate the lack of a minimum shutter speed.  I love to shoot in AV + minimum shutter speed + auto ISO.

45 is more than enough, but 500.000 isn't
