Canon has just announced the update of the two-year-old EOS M50 mirrorless camera – the EOS M50 Mark II.

The update focuses on two things. One of these is the addition of eye-tracking autofocus for photos and videos. This backs the current Dual Pixel autofocus system to track subjects and lock focus more accurately.

Other added features include a video record button as well as a self-timer for videos. The screen can also be used to autofocus while looking through the EVF. Webcam Mode has been added which can be used with Canon’s EOS Webcam Utility software. Lastly, the camera supports livestreaming directly to YouTube.

It records only up to 4K at 24fps with only contrast-based autofocus and 1.5x crop, making it quite underwhelming for 2020. If you want the Dual Pixel autofocus and high frame rate, you’ll have to work with 1080p.

The Canon EOS M50 Mark II is available for USD 600 (body only) and USD 700 (with the EF-M 15-45mm f3.5-6.3 kit lens), respectively.
