Which is better for vlogging?

The Canon M50 Mark II. Its vari-angle screen faces you, Dual Pixel AF tracks faces and eyes reliably, and Combination IS steadies handheld footage.

Which has better image quality for photos?

The Fujifilm X-T30 III. Its 26.1MP X-Trans sensor resolves more detail and handles color and noise well, and the X-mount lens range is far deeper.

Does the Fujifilm X-T30 III have a flip-out screen?

No. It has a tilting screen that works for high and low angles but does not face forward for self-recording.

Is the Canon M50 Mark II worth stepping up to over the Fujifilm?

Only if video and ease of use matter more than stills quality. The Canon is simpler to shoot video with; the Fujifilm is the better long-term stills system.

Which lasts longer as a system?

The Fujifilm. Canon has stopped developing EF-M lenses, while Fujifilm still releases X-mount lenses, so the X-T30 III has a clearer upgrade path.

Do either have in-body stabilization?

Neither has in-body stabilization. The Canon offers 5-axis Combination IS with stabilized lenses; the Fujifilm relies on lens OIS.

Fujifilm X-T30 III vs Canon EOS M50 Mark II

The X-T30 III is the stronger stills camera: the 26.1MP X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor, 6.2K video and Fujifilm's film simulations give it more headroom and character than the M50 Mark II. The Canon is the easier camera for vlogging, with a vari-angle touchscreen, built-in flash and reliable Dual Pixel autofocus. Owners rate the Canon higher, but the Fujifilm's build and image quality reward buyers who shoot photos more than video.

Choose the Fujifilm X-T30 III if you want the best stills image quality, 6.2K video and Fujifilm's film simulations in a compact body.
Choose the Canon EOS M50 Mark II if you vlog, need a flip-out touchscreen and built-in flash, and want the simplest autofocus.
