Confirmed (from DPReview) 10-bit 422 and C-Log 3 along with HDR-PQ and HLG. So, aside from the disappointing heavy crop in 4k60, not bad.

- eos r50 v
And I don't need an EVF in most situations, but with the M-series now discontinued, there were no options left in Canon's ecosystem. The R50V provides that option.
By the way, I heard a strange rumor that a mini-R6m2 secretly exists in Canon's lineup.

I hope you are right. Let's call it RV
But then we still have the same discussion about a small lens that I had with @eninja.
I'm fine with my decision, and it seems you are fine with Canon's new offering

My personal experience:
RF28f2.8 as a go-to walkaround pocket lens.
RF24f1.8 if you need something more serious (wider, faster, IS, semi-macro).
RF50f1.8 as a very minimalistic portrait solution.
RF28-70f2.8 as an all-in-one universal package.
RF16f2.8 is more niche but complements other lenses nicely and mitigates a need for an UWA zoom.
RF35f1.8 is a bit too tight for a walkaround lens, in my opinion. I use it for indoor fullbody portraits, complementing the RF85f2(unless I opt for some heavy artillery bokeh craziness).

The old one doesn’t physically. Pushing it in (gently), it can’t go far enough for the pins to make contact.
The EF-M 15-45 is 6.3. But still. at 30mm, this new lens should be at least 5.6. We had cheap APS-C kit lenses with 5.6 aperture at 55mm - 20 years ago.

Is maximum aperture on cheap kit lenses something you would expect to increase over time?

Are R50V and RV the same body? The name has a 50 but the badge doesnt!
I'm glad they went range-finder style for this one. I'd rather it had a flip screen but I get it: they want to market it as a "handy-cam" not a comoact camera for street photography. I like m6ii more than this but I'd vote for R50V over R50.
I'm wondering if an R6V is coming! That would be intresting! Back in the time, when Canon abandoned EOS-M in the international market, me and some other friends had been asking for a full frame, mirrorless, rangefinder-style camera. Some other brands launched such a body (Sony, Panasaonic, Sigma ...). It'd be intresting if Canon finally releases such a body.

I expect the aperture not to get darker over the years for the same focal length.

Indeed they did. In some cases, that's 'beneficial' such as with the RF 100-400, RF 100-500, RF 200-800, and the 600/800 f/11 lenses, none of which would been possible at their sizes or costs if they had to stick to f/5.6. Also, 'mirrorless tech' enabled lenses like the RF 16/2.8 costing $300 and delivering IQ as good or better than the EF 14/2.8L II.
On the other side, they did certainly improve their profits by pushing slower lenses on buyers of lower end kits. I doubt that market segment cares all that much about it, and improvements in Canon's sensors and in-camera processing likely mean there's no practical difference in output between a kit lens that's f/5.6 on the long end and one that's f/6.3. But it is something for people who probably would not ever buy such a kit lens anyway to complain about.

Seems it's not really a worthy M6 II successor.
- lower resolution
- no internal flash (for these 90s look photos)
- lower maximum shutter speed
- attaching non canon flashes needs adapter
- no external EVF mentioned (old one doesn't fit)
- no AEB
- shutterspeed limit in auto iso menu?

The specs on the Canon R50V page specifically list it as 21-pins, it doesn't list the number of pins on the R5II page. So I am still unclear if this MF shoe is different from the others or not.

I don't doubt that all existing accessories are compatible, but I am wondering if this incarnation has additional functionality compared to the R5II/R8/R50, like the much talked about external EVF support.
I'm not holding my breath, but I wouldn't be surprised if Canon announces a "only works on R50V or newer" MF shoe accessory a few months from now.
Regardless if it's the same or not, I hope DJI finally releases a Canon version of their hot-shoe microphone receiver, I really dislike needing to use cables on my cameras.

Was maximum aperture constrained by the mount?
Anyhow it has happened in one or two cases - the 28-70 f/2 and the 24-105 f/2.8, though whether those designs required the new mount I have no idea.
