The disappointing Canon EOS M50 Mark II hits the global market at last

UPDATE: The underwhelming Canon EOS M50 Mark II has been released worldwide, over five months after its initial release in limited territories including the United States. It replaces the original EOS M50, one step above the entry-level Canon EOS M200.

The Canon EOS M50 Mark II offers disappointingly little over the original Canon EOS M50, one of the manufacturer's most popular cameras. Indeed, its only gains are firmware related; it can now capture vertical video and autofocus has been improved. In terms of hardware, though, this is the same beast, right down to the same 24.1MP sensor and cropped 4K with no Dual Pixel AF.
