Canon R50 or M50 Mark II

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

Re: Canon R50 or M50 Mark II

I have/use the M50 mark 1 as well as a pair of M6II bodies that I use regularly with several M lenses (22, 32, 18-150, 55-200) as well as all of my EF lenses.  The M50II would be an improvement over my mark 1 but not enough to trade at this point.

I'm perfectly happy with the lenses that I'm currently using so upgrading in the near future is not part of my plan.  When more R lenses are developed then that may be the best upgrade path for me.

If you already own several M lenses then the M50II or the M6II might be a good choice.  If not, then choosing a system that is not in danger of being discontinued might be the better choice.

I'm not that familiar with the R50 yet, but it does have the electronic first curtain or full electronic shutter only. Though, the issue there is probably not relevant unless you want to use f/1.2 lenses. Not well versed on the issue. Read up on it.

Why the R50 over the M50ii?

  • More recent autofocus with more options to adjust it.
  • LP-E17 instead of LP-E12 batteries
  • Charge batteries in the camera and a USB-C port instead of micro USB
  • Revised sensor (no idea if or how much of an improvement it is)
  • Long term support and Canon's focus.
  • x-sync speed of 1/250th sec
  • Noticeably better video quality and UVC/UAC webcam support (aka. plug and play with no need for drivers or hdmi capture from what I can tell but the M50ii does support clean HDMI and their webcam utility). Plus support for over 30 minutes of video recording per clip. 
  • 1.62m dot LCD instead of 1.04m.
  • Support for the HEIF format.
  • It has a new auto mode that does point & shoot smartphone style computational magic apparently. No idea if it works well.
  • Probably other stuff...

If you can get an M50ii cheap and EF-M has the lenses you want (or you don't mind adapting EF and EF-S) then it's fine as a normal everyday camera. I used the original M50 for years and did pretty much every style of photography and video possible. Wasn't perfect but it got the job done.

In short, buy the R50 unless you have to have some M lens… 11-22 is an example. Rumor has it that’s being ported to RF-S this year though… EF-M 32mm is another. I don’t think that’ll get a port though. But you’ve got that RF35, which is a fine lens.

I in your shoes? I’d pick the R50, even with my eyes closed. It’s not a fair fight sadly. I’m have a soft spot for the M, but there’s a time for everything.

In case anyone’s curious on the R50 sensor, photonstophotons has the R10 benchmark, which that 24MP + no crop 4k tells me these are identical or close cousins. R50 may actually be a touch better, btw. Shocking I know, it’s the cheaper camera. Canon plays dirty sometimes…

The M50 II is no different in this regard.  However, the R50 has a much faster readout sensor so E-Shutter is actually usable.

If M50-2 meets all your need or it does not meet your want, there is no difficulty in choosing between two things. But most difficulties come from not being satisfied with what I have. So what we need to ask ourselves is what I really want.

A couple of negatives for the R50 that might have slipped under the radar:

No sensor cleaning and the hotshoe will need an adapter for EX flashes .

The R50 appears to be the better camera, and marks the death knell of the M line - as such it will be the better choice for longevity.

However, the question is whether to buy one now or wait. The elephant in the room is lens choice. RF-S only has three lenses to choose from - all zooms (and all pretty much EF-M lenses with a new mount).

  • If have the money to spare and buy the M50 MkII with a mind to replace with RF-S in the future, you will have to replace all of your EF-M lenses too - with exactly the same glass in a new mount (which irks me no-end). Oh, and not to mention speedlites...
  • On the other hand, the price of EF-M could fall and you could build a nice collection (although the death of M has been coming for a long time and I've seen no sign of EF-M lens prices falling)
  • Or you would wait until the RF-S lens line-up is rounded out a little more and go with that instead.

TBH, it's a challenging time to upgrade if you're an M user! Personally, I'd hold fire and wait until the RF-S line is fleshed out. Unless you already have an M system I see no point in buying into an effectively dead system. And I say this as someone who loves his M5 and regularly buys his tech on the used market.

Re: Canon R50 or M50 Mark II

Agree with trungtran in principal. Another option is buying into a MFT camera/system for less money and more useful technology than an R50 IMHO (compact, ibis, ergonomics, weather resistant, etc.).

R50 is for someone who (for who knows why) doesn't want to use their smartphone, has no aspiration to grow into photography, and has (and wants) to spend considerable money on lenses and more camera bodies. I can see parents buying the R50 for the child's first camera. It saddens me to think that it might be possible the days of a child learning to use an inexpensive plastic stills camera is gone.

IMHO, the specifications/hardware of the R50 places it a little above a Canon M200 and below a Canon M50. The absence of a multitude of useful technology cripples the R50, such as no mechanical shutter (the much faster read out is advantageous in some situations), no sensor cleaning, no hot shoe with no backwards compatibility, etc. The M50 also appears to be more compact, which is something to consider for cameras at this size range.

IMHO, the R50 serves Canon more than it does consumers. It is there just in case someone wants to buy it, and saves Canon from publicly stating that the EF-M cameras are dead. I expect R50 sales will be smaller compared to the other RF camera bodies. I will gladly accept if I am wrong.

It seems to me that Canon is flooding the market with R camera bodies. The R canon bodies with features that I care about (e.g., ibis, weather sealing, high dynamic range, and fantastic colors) are costly compared to the competition.

I will stay with the EF-M cameras I own because these cameras and the available lenses capture fantastic photos. When my camera bodies bite the dust, which may be many many years from now, I will consider replacing them with either a Nikon, Olympus, or maybe even Pentax (if still around, yikes!). Of course, this is assuming that dedicated cameras are still a thing (hehe), and Canon still has not released a camera that fits my photography, and I am still capable of using a dedicated camera.

As for the R50, consumers are better off with a more capable Canon (or other manufacturer) camera that they can grow into, which is what the DPReview Chris recommended (at least that is my interpretation).

Good luck with your purchasing decision.

I don't find these rumors far fetched considering Canon just made an EF-M 55-200 "killer". I do consider it a killer too btw considering it's improved optical performance, even though it gave up 1/3 stop.

An EF-S 55-250mm STM killer it is not.

The almost 1 stop and 40mm at the long end in the crop world is huge.

Absolutely. It’s also what? Half the size? And half the weight (adapter mind you).

M and now RF-S is all about footprint. Glad to see Canon is matching the spirit of the M, albeit compromises like 3mm on the wide end of the kit and the 1/3 stop on the telephoto. Those aren’t bad trades to keep the M form factor but in RF-S if you’re keeping it real. We all knew they couldn’t match the M, but man they got close. Close enough I’d say it doesn’t count. The R50 is the M50 mark III.

A rocket blower is about  as much use as chocolate teapot once the dust has hit the  sensor and you don’t see realise it’s there until you get to view the images on the computer display.

I have had a blower since time immemorial and have only used it on a few occasions and only wet cleaned once thanks to the sensor shake technology I’ve had on most of my digicams. That said cloning out dust spots is easy enough unlike tramlines on slide film 😊

I don't find these rumors far fetched considering Canon just made an EF-M 55-200 "killer". I do consider it a killer too btw considering it's improved optical performance, even though it gave up 1/3 stop.

I would never buy a camera based on loose rumors. "Coming alongside the R50" ? No, It didn't. And not even a "cr" rating on these rumors. My advice is wait, wait, wait and wait before you buy a APS-C R mount camera. It can take a long looong time before it has got something close to the EF-M lens line up. IF ever !

RF-S: Slower lenses. Larger lenses. Fewer lenses. No F/1.4 lenses. No Sigma trio.

The RF-S 55-210mm is slower, heavier and much larger and does not fit nicely in a pocket as the EF-M 55-200 does.
