- Thread starter Canon Rumors

Please tell me there are rumors of another M camera in the works. This was so bad.

I would have been putting in a pre-order for something with the specs originally described for an M6 ii on steroids. This minor upgrade does not interest me and I will stick with the M5 for travel camera until the Mkii version of that comes out.

Well... I was going to return my M6 II to upgrade. Seems I already have the upgrade.

Well it isn’t what we hoped, but let’s face it, the M50 II is what it is.
With tough times ahead Canon must feel they have done enough with this minor revamp, the most frustrating thing on my M5 when I first got it was the AF and Canon is fast catching up with mirrorless AF now.
The new AF on the M50 II looks good so, along with the other tweaks, that might be enough for Canons target audience, but not enough to warrant upgrading from the original M50 I doubt.
At $599 body only or and extra 100 for a kit lens I don’t think Canon have been greedy.
I wonder what the M5 II will bring to the table, a lot more, I hope!

Pretty basic version upgrade to a very useful and popular camera. I don't see the need to upgrade mine because I don't do video content and most of the improvements were aimed at that, which makes sense since this is a SUPER popular vlogger camera. I still wonder if the 4k is full width or cropped? I imagine its cropped since most content created with this camera is not 4k. It will probably continue to sell very well at its price point.
That last spec list for this was too good to be true at this price point. Maybe that is the new M7 or whatever they will call it.

Knowing Canon, we will have the 30 minute record limit long after every other manufacturer removed it. It's even on the R5.

That's just something people are saying to complain about not getting a bigger upgrade. The sensor appears to be the same, and the autofocus is improved, which they say is only software. The EVF and I think screen are also different, and there are probably logic chips and other internal components that are different to allow the AF performance improvement.
Everyone was thrown for a loop here, as the previous rumored specs looked like a huge upgrade. In retrospect, a camera that was better in some ways than the M6 at this price point was too good to be true. But it left people wanting more...

I definitely don't think it is just a software update. I can see at least one difference in the images from the previous M50

Couldn't they build a really great backiluminated 24MP APS-C sensor into a pro-like R body? with dualcard slot + 14+ FPS mechanically. 3-5MP EVF with 120Hz. tilting screen, animal eye detection etc...
