Conclusion from DPReview :

The Canon EOS M50 Mark II is a solid option for easily taking stills and video on the go. 4K video quality isn’t great, and live streaming limitations are disappointing, but the stills images it churns out are pleasing. The camera is also quite comfortable in the hand, despite its very compact size.

The M50 Mark II (B&HPhoto and Amazon) shares the same 24MP APS-C sensor with its predecessor, and the Digic 8 image processor.
