Buying advice

Which should you buy?

The EOS R50 edges ahead on the Mars Score (46 vs 42.8), but the 3.2-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.

Pick the EOS R50 if you carry the device everywhere and weight or thickness has been the deciding factor before. The biggest gaps in its favor are weight, megapixels, sensor size.

Pick the OM-1 Mark II if you care most about af points and in-body stabilization. Its strongest claims are af points, in-body stabilization, log profile, among others.

There are no meaningful ties on the headline specs — every popular-comparison metric has a winner.

Bottom line: there is no wrong answer here — match the spec advantages to how you actually use the product. The Mars Score parity tells you both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
