Should I upgrade from the Canon EOS M50 Mark II to the Canon EOS R50?
Upgrading is likely worth it. EF-M lenses can't be adapted to RF bodies, so you will need new lenses.
What you gain
- 24.2MP instead of 24.1MP
- faster bursts (15fps vs 10fps)
- cleaner high ISO
- 3 years of newer processing and autofocus (2020 → 2023)
What you give up
- Nothing significant on paper
What it costs
| EOS R50 new | £729 |
| EOS R50 used (MPB, typical) | £420 |
| Your EOS M50 Mark II trade-in (rough estimate) | ≈ £240 |
| Net cost buying used | ≈ £180 |
Trade-in estimates assume about two-thirds of the typical MPB resale price; real offers vary with condition and shutter count.
