Canon R10 vs Canon M50 II: Physical Specs and Body features Comparison

Size and weight is a big decision factor when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs. In this section, We are going to illustrate Canon R10 and Canon M50 II side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon R10 has external dimensions of 122.5 x 87.8 x 83.4mm (4.82 x 3.46 x 3.28 and weighs 426 g (0.94 lb / 15.14 oz) (including batteries). 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).

Below you can see the front view size comparison of Canon R10 and Canon M50 II. Canon R10 has the same height with Canon M50 II. On the other hand, with a width of 123mm, it is 7 wider and also with a thickness of 83mm, it is 24mm thicker than Canon M50 II.

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon R10 and Canon M50 II.

Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day. Canon M50 II is 39g lighter than the Canon R10 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 R10 and Canon M50 II 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 Canon EOS R10 nor Canon EOS M50 Mark II provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors. If weather sealing is a must-have feature for you, check these sections:

LCD Screen Size and Features

Canon R10 and Canon M50 II's LCD screens has the same diagonal size of 3.00".

Both cameras feature 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 Selfie shots and video.
Canon R10 vs Canon M50 II: Sensor Comparison

Both Canon R10 and Canon M50 II have 24.0 MP resolution sensors but Canon R10's sensor is APS-C (22.2 x 14.8 mm ) and Canon M50 II's sensor is APS-C (22.3 x 14.9 mm ).

Since Canon M50 II's has a larger sensor area with the same resolution, this means that it also has a larger pixel area hence better light collecting capacity for a given aperture compared to Canon R10.

Below you can see the R10 and M50 Mark II sensor size comparison.

Canon R10 and Canon M50 II have almost the same sensor size so none of them has any significant advantage over other in providing control over depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture.

Canon R10 vs Canon M50 II Comparison of Available Lenses
Which camera has more lenses?

Number of available lenses is a big decision factor while choosing your interchangeable lens camera. When we look at the available lenses for these two cameras, we see that Canon R10 has an advantage over Canon M50 II There are 34 lenses for Canon R10's Canon RF mount, on the other hand there are only 29 lenses for Canon M50 II's Canon EF-M lens mount.

Another important factor is the availability of image stabilization. None of these bodies have sensor based image stabilization so you have to buy lenses with Optical stabilization feature. Currently there are 23 lenses for Canon RF mount and 6 lenses for Canon EF-M mount with IS.
