Our Verdict
Canon EOS M50 Mark II
Canon EOS R100
The Canon EOS M50 Mark II and the Canon EOS R100 each have their own strengths. The M50 Mark II is a little smaller, has a fully articulated touch-sensitive display, has a faster continuous shooting speed, and exhibits a less noticeable rolling shutter when recording video. Conversely, the R100 is a better-built camera with a higher-capacity battery. Unlike the M50 Mark II, it also has a more up-to-date USB-C port, which you can't use for on-the-go charging. Unlike the M50 Mark II, which uses Canon's discontinued M mount, the R100 has the advantage of using the manufacturer's newer RF mount; while there are few dedicated APS-C lenses currently available, more are planned to be released in the future.
