Re: R50 vs M50 MkII

I am happy with my Canon gear, don’t plan to switch to other brands anytime soon but it is a disappointment that they have not tried anything really new in these cameras. For the most part they re-used the bodies of the M50 (just changing the single dial’s position) and RP and added the new processor and video features from more expensive R cameras.

For my use the R50 in particular would have greatly benefited from a second dial and control over the minimum shutter speed (did they add that??) but that would steal sales from the R10..As it stands today, in my opinion, the R10 is really the best value proposition for cameras between 500 and a thousand dollars, all brands considered.

In terms of lenses, they could have released the 11-22 first, to increase the crop cameras’ appeal to video shooters and given us at least 250mm at the long end of the new telephoto lens (but I think they really want us to buy the 100-400 if we want more reach…).
