Canon R100 vs M50 II – A Detailed Comparison

At the time of publishing this article the Canon R100 has an MSRP of just $479.99 US for the body-only, making the R100 Canon’s least expensive model in their ever growing line-up of Canon EOS R Mirrorless Cameras.

The Canon M50 Mark II which is part of Canon’s EOS M line-up was announced back in November 2020 and has an MSRP of $599 for the body only, making it around $120 more expensive than the R100.

It has been speculated for a while now that Canon would eventually discontinue their EOS M line-up in favor of their RF-mount.

With the introduction of the R100 could we be witnessing the beginning of this change?

Well, I wouldn’t be holding my breath for an M50 Mark III that’s for sure!

With that said, you might be curious about how the EOS R100 stacks up against the outgoing M50 Mark II.

Before we dive into our detailed comparison, here’s a quick look at the key features that these two entry-level cameras share in common:

• 24.1 MP APS-C CMOS sensor (compatible with Dual Pixel CMOS AF)
• DIGIC 8 image processor
• One SD card slot compatible with UHS-I memory cards
• Dual Pixel CMOS AF with Human Eye Detection
• Electronically controlled focal-plane shutter (electronic 1st / mechanical 2nd curtain)
• Shutter speed 1/4000–30 sec
• 4K video (24p) with a 1.6x sensor crop and 1080 video up to 60p, 720 up to 120p
• Hot-shoe, 3.5mm mic input, micro HDMI output, 2.5mm remote input
• Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2
• Built-in pop-up flash

Lens Mount

The biggest and most important difference between these two cameras is the lens mount.

The R100 features Canon’s newest RF-mount and the M50 II features the older EF-M mount.

Unfortunately you can’t use EF-M lenses on the RF mount or vice versa and Canon does not make an adapter.

Will we see an adapter in the future? Probably not. The EF-M mount has a flange distance of 18 mm and the RF mount has a flange distance of 20 mm, so it’s highly unlikely without corrective optics which usually result in very poor image quality. 

Canon designed the RF mount for their EOS R Series of mirrorless cameras and it’s compatible with both full-frame and APS-C sized sensors.

The RF mount has an inner diameter of 54mm and 12 electronic pins, whereas the EF-M mount has an inner diameter of 47mm and 9 pins.

Canon is now throwing all of their vast resources behind the RF mount and their lens line-up has already exceeded the EF-M lens offering.

You might find our Complete List of Canon RF Lenses helpful if you are considering purchasing the R100.

Sensor & Processor

Both cameras feature a 24.1 MP APS-C CMOS sensor and a DIGIC 8 processing engine.

Whether or not these are identical will probably remain a mystery, since Canon has provided no further details here.

However, one difference we can see from the specs is the ISO sensitivity that we will be discussing next.

ISO Sensitivity

The Canon R100 has a normal ISO range of 100–12800 and an expanded range up to 25600.

The Canon M50 II has a normal ISO range of 100–25600 and an expanded range up to 51200, providing the M50 II with an additional stop of range.

Camera	Normal ISO Range	Expanded ISO Range
R100	100–12800	25600
M50 II	100–25600	51200

Drive Speed & Buffer

Neither the R100 or M50 II are designed as sports shooters but they are still capable of catching fast action once in a while.

The R100 is able to shoot at up to 6.5fps when using One-Shot AF, and 3.5fps when using Servo AF (continuous autofocus).

The M50 II is the faster camera here and is capable of shooting up to 10fps with One-Shot AF, and 7.4fps with Servo AF.

When it comes to the buffer the R100 is able to shoot 64 more JPEG L images than the M50 II, although this is mainly due to the fact that it’s shooting at 6.5 FPS vs 10 FPS.

The M50 II is able to shoot 4 more RAW images, providing the M50 II with the advantage here.

Camera	JPEG L Buffer	RAW Buffer
R100	100	6
M50 II	36	10

Autofocus

Both cameras feature Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF with Eye Detection AF.

The EOS R100 and M50 II feature an expansive focus area that covers up to approximately 88% horizontal and 100% vertical of the picture area, breaking the image up to 143 AF area zones (stills) and 117 zones (movies) for auto selection.

When it comes to focussing in low light the R100 is able to focus from EV –4 to 20
(with an f/1.2 lens). The M50 II can focus from EV -4 to 18 (with an f/1.4 lens).

Video

Just to be clear, there is no difference in the video features between these two cameras.

Both cameras can record 4K video (24p) with a 1.6x sensor crop and 1080 video up to 60p, 720 up to 120p in 8 bit using H.264 / MPEG-4 AVC compression.

Electronic Viewfinder & LCD Monitor

Both LCD’s are 3 inch with 1.04 million dots.

Sadly Canon has decided to cripple the LCD screen on the R100 by making it fixed, so it can’t be flipped out or even tilted.

It’s also not touch enabled making the R100 a little less user friendly than the M50 II.

The M50 II has a multi-angle LCD monitor that can be flipped to the side and rotated 180˚ for selfies.

It also has a touch screen which helps to make focus point selection a lot easier as well as navigating the menus.

Both cameras feature an electronic viewfinder (EVF) with very similar characteristics:

• 0.39-in OLED panel
• 2.36M dots
• 22mm eyepoint
• 60Hz refresh rate

The only difference here is the magnification, it’s slightly larger on the M50 Mark II:

• R100: 0.59x.
• M50 II: 0.62x

Camera Body & Controls

The two cameras are very similar when it comes to dimensions. They share an identical width but there are minor differences in the height and depth.

• R100: Approx. Width 4.58 × Height 3.37 × Depth 2.71 in. (116.3 x 85.5 x 68.8mm)
• M50 II: Approx. Width 4.58 x Height 3.47 x Depth 2.31 in. (116.3 x 88.1 x 58.7mm),

The R100 weighs 356g / 12.5oz vs 387g / 13.6oz for the M50 II making the M50 II 31 g / 1.09 oz heavier.

Looking at the controls you might notice that the M50 II has an (M-Fn) button on the top which is not present on the R100. The control wheel is also built around the shutter button on the M50 II, whereas on the R100 it’s separate.

Both rear layouts are almost identical apart from some minor cosmetic differences and a different position for the INFO button.

Battery

The R100 is compatible with the LP-E17 battery (1040mAh) of which one is included when purchased from new. It also comes with Canon’s LC-E17 charger.

Canon’s CIPA figures claim a battery life of 340 shots using the electronic viewfinder, or 430 shots with the LCD. 4K Movie Recording: Approx. 110 mins.

The M50 II is compatible with the Canon LP-E12 battery which has a lower capacity of 875 mAh.

This smaller capacity battery means that the M50 II is only able to shoot 250 shots using the EVF or 305 with the LCD (CIPA). 4K Movie Recording: Approx. 95 mins.

Connectivity

Both cameras have similar connectivity options.

Both support 2.4 Ghz Wi-Fi and bluetooth and each have a HDMI micro OUT terminal (Type D) and a 3.5mm diameter stereo mini jack for a microphone.

The only difference here is that the M50 II has a USB Micro-B port (USB 2.0), whereas the R100 has a USB-C port (USB 2.0).

Canon’s Camera Connect and EOS Utility apps can be used to remotely control both cameras.

The M50 II supports Live streaming direct to YouTube. Unfortunately, the major limitation is that you must have 1,000 YouTube subscribers to your channel to stream direct to YouTube with the M50 Mark II.

The R100 does not support live streaming.

Price

At the time of publishing this article the Canon R100 has an MSRP of $479.99 US for the body only or $599.00 US with the RF-S 18-45mm zoom lens.

The M50 II has an MSRP of $599 US for the body only or $699 with the Canon EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens.

So the R100 is around $100 cheaper when purchased with the kit lens compared to the M50 II kit.

Summary

The R100 might be the newer camera but unfortunately it has been built with an awful lot of older components, most likely taken straight from the M50 II. It’s also missing some key features found in the M50 Mark II.

The only advantage the R100 really has going for it is the RF mount. There is already a good line-up of RF lenses and this is only set to grow over the coming years.

The EF-M line-up is unlikely to see any new additions, so unless you are already happy with what’s on the market I wouldn’t hold my breath for a new EF-M lens anytime soon.

The M50 II really comes out on top when looking at the specs, here are the key features that you won’t find on the R100:

• Multi-angle touch sensitive LCD monitor
• Live streaming
• 10fps with One-Shot AF, and 7.4fps with Servo AF.

If you really want an RF-mount camera but with a multi-angle touch sensitive screen, then you’ll need to start looking at the Canon EOS R50 instead. Of course, this is what Canon wants you to do!

However, if you are content with the specs of the M50 II and the EF-M lens line-up, and can accept that the EF-M series is effectively dead, then the M50 Mark II is still a great bit of kit.

Personally if I was deciding between these two cameras I’d skip the R100, it just doesn’t offer enough modern features even for it’s low price point. I’d also skip the M50 II because of its pending obsolescence.

My choice would be to keep saving a little longer and go with the EOS R50 instead, it’s a much better camera than both the R100 and the M50 Mark II. Our Canon R100 vs R50 Comparison provides further details.
