Design, body and look:
In terms of design, body and look nothing has really changed in the Canon M50 ii as compared to the original M50. It has nearly the same body, size, button layout and even looks and feels the same. And honestly there wasn’t much that needed changing as well. The M50 ii is compact and feels solid in the hand. But while the camera is compact, the buttons are slightly smaller for however this might differ as per the size of your fingers.
On the inside, you still have the same 24.1-megapixel APS-C sensor. However this new sensor has been developed nearly 2 years after the first one, so it should’ve benefitted from sensor advances during that time. But one thing that is worth noticing is that like the M50, this camera is also not weather sealed, which is something that Canon missed. For the target audience that the brand is catering to – like vloggers and amateurs who travel a lot – weather sealing is essential as they probably don’t take too much care of the camera.
What’s new?
Now since this looks very similar to the M50, we know you must be wondering what is new in this camera? Well that’s a tough question to ask honestly and much of a Catch 2020 sort of situation. Because this camera is nearly 80-90% similar to the M50, but the remaining 20% that has been changed is something that can offer a lot.
Infact a lot of the new things that are offered have been carefully thought after and are really targeted to people who like to shoot videos. This is especially a good thing because the consumption of videos has increased phenomenally in the past few years.
