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 and Sony A6500 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. 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). 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).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon M50 and the Sony A6500. 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 Canon M50 and Sony A6500.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon M50 and Sony A6500.
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 Canon M50 and Sony A6500 have the same APS-C sized sensor, their lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will be similar in size and weight.
