Canon EOS M50 Mark II Specifications [CR2]

Single SD Slot is a bummer if true.

How long before someone mentions the lack of dual card slots ;-)

So... is the rumour that the next M camera is the last M camera dead? Or is this the last M camera?

10bit 422? would be awesome as a small backup/hiking cam
Tho, once again, more M lenses are needed. And that future doesn't look bright

Seriously? What pocketable APS-C camera has dual slots?

The M series has always had a single card slot. Cameras in this bracket aren't usually bought by those who need two slots.

These specs seem likely. This will be a great little action camera - same specs as M6 mk2 but with a built in viewfinder, plus DPAF 2. I didn’t expect IBIS although Canon needs to incorporate it into the M series soon.

No IBIS supports my decision to buy a 2nd hand 15-85 EF-S for 200 bucks with IS ... as an allround lens for video with the current M50 ...

I think IBIS will be in the M5 follow up at a stronger price point with some additional goodies ...

All seems like a good update for a pretty solid and inexpensive camera. If it has autofocus in 4k then it would be reason enough for me to upgrade from the m50. The m50 is a great little camera that pretty much lives on our gimbal, improved autofocus is really the only thing I would love to see, higher specs can be for the more expensive m5, m6 versions.

lol

Well I'll probably get it. I love my M6 Mark II but forgetting the viewfinder just makes me feel bad for the whole photo session. With animal eye AF from DPAF2 it'll be perfect for birding.

What the hell happened to the M5 replacement? Not that I care so much -- it is just curiosity. When I saw the M6, I peddled my entire M5 kit and bought the EOS R. I really wonder where Cannon is headed with this system, it seems like a dead branch on the tree to me.

Andy Westwood · Oct 2, 2020

This sounds reasonable DPAF II is a great addition for the M50 II, but surely this camera can’t be any more money than 799 £ or $

It would be nice to see an M5 II come along soon with IBIS and slightly better spec for say 999 £ or $

I've been hoping for an M5 II for a bit too long, I sold my M5 in futile anticipation but now I'm thinking I can live without it. An R5 and 35 f1.8 and 85 f2 seem like a small enough travel package to me so I'll probably sell the rest of my M lenses and adapter soon.

An entry level consumer camera and "single SD slot is a bummer". What planet are you from? Name me a camera at the likely price point that has dual card slots. Ditto for IBIS.

I'm going to engage in pure speculation here, but here goes: The M5-II will have IBIS, and they were waiting for that to be proved.

BakaBokeh · Oct 2, 2020

If anything, the R5 taught me that I neeeeed IBIS, for these jittery caffeinated hands.

Rivermist · Oct 2, 2020

Any idea which battery will be used? Still the LP-E12 or the LP-E17 (same as RP)?

Patience. Everybody wants all the features and features take power and power takes space and makes heat. Technology is getting there. The R5 processor is pretty amazing when you think it can capture 35 MP images at 30 FPS, then warp transform each one for DLO and shade and sharpen, and then compress them into an MPEG stream, all on about 10 or 12 watts of power. And oh by the way, it is also capturing those images at 70 MP (DPAF) and processing them for AF and running the AF and the IBIS. The digic x undervolted and running at a lower clock speed may well be suitable for an M5 replacement, but it wasn't there a year ago and yields need to be decent before it can be put into a less expensive camera than the R6.

4K@60FPS!? If you thought there were overheating problems with the R5 and R6, just wait for this camera...just a Wild Guess.
