After today's post about a higher-end APS-C camera coming to either the EOS M lineup or EOS R lineup, I have been told that the successor to the Canon EOS M50 will be coming in the last quarter of 2020 in Japan, but may not be released until early 2021 in the rest of the world.
This will not be an EOS 7D Mark II type replacement, but a big upgrade over its predecessor. By most accounts, the EOS M50 is surprisingly Canon's best selling ILC. It has even done very well in North America and Europe.
I have no specifications at this time.
More to come…

IBIS and improved AF with a better senor and processor would be enough for me to trade in my M5.
I still can't quite understand why the M6-II doesn't have that screen. That was my biggest hesitation in buying it, but I went ahead anyway.
I'd probably still order without an improved EVF and second dial, but lacking any of the others would give me pause. I'd really like to keep the Smallrig I have and just fit it to the new one, so hoping for same form factor.
The M50 is a great camera today. It is good news that it is going to get better. They need to release an m-mount nifty fifty.
If the M50 Mk2 gets the FPS of the M6 Mk2, it will completely compete with the 7D mk2 for performance.
Maybe the M50 and the M5 will be combined in the M50II.
I'm not so much interested in video and wouldn't need necessarily IBIS.
OTH I am tempted to leave my two camera route and sell the 6DII and M5 in favour for the R6.

They are great little cameras.
