Our Verdict

Sony α6100

Canon EOS M50

The Sony α6100 is better than the Canon EOS M50, primarily because Canon has discontinued its M-mount system and is no longer developing new lenses for that mount. Aside from that, the Sony also has a more reliable autofocus system, a longer battery life, and better video features.
