I was curious and you are right about this. To me it seems that the tracking capabilities of some of the M series models is better than that of the EOS R. I did a quick test with my M6 and I could reproduce the behavior (at the end of the video).

That's an old camera, with a Digic 7 processor. The Digic 8 processor in the M6 Mark II is much faster, and it tracks much faster than your video shows. The R is also a rather old mirrorless camera, and not up to current capabilities.

....Overall I would nevertheless rate the feature not reliable on the M6 that should be quite similar to the M50 II in this regard.

You're talking about history. The M50 II is also Digic 8. The R3, R5, R6, and R7, which are the subjects of this discussion, all have Digic X.
