Canon EOS M50 Mark II information leaks out ahead of the official announcement

[Canon Rumors]

It looks like my previous specifications rumor for the EOS M50 Mark II turned out to be incorrect, let’s hope those specifications are for the second rumored EOS M system camera coming at a later date.
Below is some Google Translated information from Canon marketing material about the upcoming Canon EOS M50 Mark II.
Canon EOS M50 Mark II Information (Google Translated):
Despite being an entry model, it is possible to shoot high-quality still images and videos.

Equipped with a video engine DIGIC 8 and APS-C size, a CMOS sensor with approximately 24.1 million pixels, you can easily enjoy shooting high-quality still images and movies.
Achieves high-definition 4K video recording. Equipped with a “4K frame cutout” function that saves any one frame as a JPEG image of approximately 8.3 million pixels (3840 x 2160).
Equipped with a “digital lens optimizer” that corrects lens aberrations, etc...

Basically a firmware update

So is the 4k still cropped? It does not say that. That would be a big upgrade for some folks.

Better AF, tracking, better AF in video. Seems like a reasonable upgrade for a MKII. May perform like the R6s little brother?

This spec list also makes more sense for the price point we think this should land at.

Canon Rumors doomed.

 

[Andy Westwood]

Not much of an update then! This doesn't say a lot for the M-Series going forward At least it should be cheap!

I hope there is an M5 II soon and spec will be better on that model, as you'd expect.

 

[eosuser1234]

yeah should be renamed M50 Mark I.III

 

[Maximilian]

Although a little bit disapointing some more reasonable specs and features for a M50 Mk II.

When I read those previouse specs my initial thought was that they interchanged with the specs of a M5 Mk II.

 

[padam]

Same miniscule updates (like Eye tracking) as the 250D (also known as 200D Mark II) with better Instagram support...

I guess that means the pricing stays the same, which ensures that it sells.

 

[Woody]

Great. Canon just helped me save some money.

 

[Bahrd]

yeah should be renamed M50 Mark I.III

Mark I.I - it looks like II...

 

[Chaitanya]

This better come below M6 mark II if these specifications are true. Will continue with current dslr till it dies out.

 

[KristinnKr]

If this camera really comes to the market without DPAF II, old sensor, etc. I'd say it's a complete joke, barely an upgrade at all.

 

[Swerky]

Yeah. I thought those previous rumours were too good with the M6 Mark II around.

 

[BroderLund]

Pass from me. Partly specs, partly lack of lenses.

 

[blackcoffee17]

This reminds me of the 650D to 700D upgrade where they changed the texture of the mode dial and added some small software tweaks

 

[jam05]

With exception to the EVF, these are all firmware and programming functions. Not hardware unless they changed out the LCD.

 

[hyt]

Well this made my decision to not upgrade my M50 to the Mk II very easy

 

[sobrien]

Wonder if they have introduced Fv mode and a second dial or other clever way of implementing that?

I might still consider it if they have, but it is starting to sound like a pass for me I’m afraid.

 

[nchoh]

Being the bottom of Canon's mirrorless offerings, I guess it designed to sell lots at a cheap price?

 

[SteveC]

This makes more sense.

It does mean Canon won't sell me another M50, but that is actually not unexpected; from what I've seen a lot of people skip every other mark number, and I guess I'm going to turn out to be one of them. The old M50 is basically a backup/second to my M6-II anyway; if it was my primary APS-C camera then my attitude might be a bit different.
