Your advice would be greatly appreciated. So I’m in the market for a new Canon APSC camera.

I would get a used RP is budget is tight. Skip aps-c. It's a sensor size from the past.

I almost pulled the trigger on the M50 Mark Ii and then the R50 was announced which is apparently a substantial upgrade from the M. I’m interested in street, travel, macro and family stills photography and on occasion do some video. I’m not a content creator or blogger. If the M50 takes good photos, has enough lenses for me to pick from and is cheaper, why would I even consider the R50? Thank you for your consideration.

Think about the lenses you need first, and when you've figured that out see what body you need to shoot with those lenses.

With the R50 there's no ef-m 32mm f/1.4 and no Sigma ef-m 56mm f/1.4. There's no compact 22mm. I doubt we will ever see an RF-s 22mm, and I'm sure we will never see RF-s versions of that 32mm and 56mm.

I wish you were wrong about what Canon makes.

Writing's on the wall though.  Them's the breaks ? 

Next time at Best Buy and I have to wait in line to get them to unlock a memory card I am going to ask to unlock the Sony display case so I can try some Sony cameras.
