R10 as an upgrade?

Would you say the R10 is an upgrade to the m50ii and 70D? (Mostly for stills.) User has quite a few EF/EFS lenses that can be adapted…

Yessir. The advanced autofocus alone is worth the price of admission. And those EF EF-S lenses will perform very well on the R10 body. However the M Series is substantially smaller (if that’s an important factor), and the 70D is substantially cheaper.

So does the user have those two bodies already? Or are they alternatives?

It’s my best friend. He has the m50ii & 70D (I also have the 70D and m200), but I upgraded to the R6. He wants to upgrade to an ASPC in the R family. We borrow each others lenses when needed. I really don’t know much about the R10 but that’s what he seems to be leaning towards. I know he has the 10-18, 24 pancake, 17-55, 50 1.8, 85 1.8, and the 55-250.

The R10 is smaller, cheaper than the R7 obviously.

I haven't shot either but I'm keeping my eye on the R10 should Canon not do an R8 here next month. That said I'm probably going to wait it out till I have something that can fit in my glovebox, the R10 can't do that. But it's certainly compact, when the right lenses are paired with it, and has "punch" due to it's APS-C sensor.

Might I draw your attention to Bill's metrics for a moment... I'm looking forward to an R8, even if it's just 24MP as the new R10 sensor on paper is performing much more like the M6 II / R7 sensor, which I'm a big fan of. Obviously the R10 doesn't render the sheer fine details of the R7 / M6 II, but the ISO pickup, presumably of RAW NR, it makes a big difference (vs the ISO 1410 of the M50). I can't vouch to it on the R10 as I've never owned it, but the M6 II's ISO handling is a huge step up from everything before it (note the 2253 ISO score also in the bottom left) which obviously the R7 shares, and it appears Canon has now passed down RAW NR to the R10 (1810) too.

Here's the read noise compared. Presumably the R10 is employing noise reduction as it's still a 24MP FSI APS-C

Likewise, it looks like some kind of gain modification change as note the DR pickup at 200, which doesn't exist on the M50. Also note the raw scores of the R10 in comparison to the M50 in the bottom left.

The M50 "smokes" the 70D btw, in case you're wondering. But, the R10 "beats" the M50. Doesn't quite beat the M6 Mark II, but the R7 does with the R10 falling between the two.
