It may not be called an M5 mark II. But if it improves on the M5, it basically is for all intents and purposes.
If it does what my M6-II does, plus has a viewfinder and a full articulated screen, it's all I was hoping for from the M5-II that never happened. Adding IBIS to that would be a bonus.
I don't see them putting IBIS into the M50. Contrary to what someone above wrote, it wouldn't be free for them to do so; the mount for the sensor would have to change, and it might force a change to the depth of the body to accommodate a mount that lets the sensor move. The mount itself would be more expensive, too. The M50 is pretty much the "one up from the entry level" mirrorless at this point (I believe there's still an M100 out there as the true entry level), similar to the Rebel "i" models, and adding IBIS would add to the cost. Better to put it in more expensive models.
