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 Canon M50 II and Canon T8i side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon M50 II has external dimensions of 116 x 88 x 59 mm (4.57 x 3.46 x 2.32″) and weighs 387 g (0.85 lb / 13.65 oz) (including batteries). Canon T8i has external dimensions of 131 x 103 x 76 mm (5.16 x 4.00 x 2.99″) and weighs 515 g (1.14 lb / 18.17 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon M50 II and the Canon T8i. Canon M50 II is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 15mm narrower, 15mm shorter and 17mm thinner than Canon T8i.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon M50 II and Canon T8i.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon M50 II and Canon T8i.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon M50 II is significantly lighter (128g ) than the Canon T8i 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 Canon M50 II and Canon T8i 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
Unfortunately neither the Canon EOS M50 Mark II nor Canon EOS Rebel T8i (EOS 850D / EOS Kiss X10i) provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon M50 II and Canon T8i's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.

Fully Articulating screens where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. Fully articulating screens are also useful for taking Selfies and video.
