Perhaps most significantly, the M50 Mark II has improved the autofocusing for tracking a subject for both stills and video recording.Įssentially the Dual Pixel autofocus system has been updated to provide eye tracking in both shooting modes, whereas the original M50 didn't offer this feature at all. Right - now that you've done that, let's move on to what makes the M50 II not so different to its predecessor. With that in mind, before we discuss the handful of updates that Canon have made, we'd suggest that you go and read our detailed Canon EOS M50 review first, and then come back here to learn what's new about the Mark II version. So if you were a fan of the M50 but were hoping for some significant upgrades in this new version, we're afraid that you will be sorely disappointed, as side-by-side you would be very hard-pressed indeed to tell them apart from each other. That's right - this 2020/21 release is exactly the same in terms of its size, weight, design and control layout as the original 2018 model.Īll of the changes (and there aren't actually that many) have been made internally to the camera's feature-set, with most of them on the video rather than stills side. We're not going to beat around the bush - the new Canon EOS M50 Mark II is outwardly identical to the old EOS M50, with the exception of the nameplate on the rear-left shoulder of the camera. It's slightly more expensive in the UK and Europe than the original M50 was on launch, but significantly cheaper in the US. The Canon EOS M50 Mark II is available in white or black priced at £589.99 / €659.99 / $599.99 for the body only, in a kit with the EF-M 15-45mm IS STM lens for £649.99 / €779.99 / $699.99, or $929.99 for the camera body plus the EF-M 15-45mm and EF-M 55-200mm double zoom lens kit (US-only).
