Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, we are going to illustrate the Sony A6500 and Canon M50 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony A6500 has external dimensions of 120 x 67 x 53 mm (4.72 x 2.64 x 2.09″) and weighs 453 g (1.00 lb / 15.98 oz) (including batteries). Canon M50 has external dimensions of 116 x 88 x 59 mm (4.57 x 3.46 x 2.32″) and weighs 390 g (0.86 lb / 13.76 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Sony A6500 and the Canon M50. Sony A6500 is 21mm shorter and 6mm thinner than Canon M50 but it is also 4mm wider.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Sony A6500 and Canon M50.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Sony A6500 and Canon M50.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon M50 is significantly lighter (63g ) than the Sony A6500 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Sony A6500 and Canon M50 have the same APS-C sized sensor, their lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will be similar in size and weight.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the A6500 has a big advantage over the M50 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Sony A6500 and Canon M50's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Sony A6500 features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Canon M50 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
