Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon M50 II is 3g lighter than the Canon M50 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you have to also take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Canon M50 II and Canon M50 have the same Canon EF-M lens mount and APS-C sized sensors, lenses will not be a differentiator on total size of the system.

LCD Screen Size and Features

Number of available lenses is a big decision factor while choosing your interchangeable lens camera. Canon M50 II and Canon M50 have the same Canon EF-M lens mount and currently there are 23 native lenses available for these cameras.
Another important factor is the availability of image stabilization. Both Canon M50 II and Canon M50 has Sensor based Image stabilization which means that all the lenses will be stabilized in these bodies.
