M50 or M60?

I was thinking of getting an M50 or M60. The 50 has 8MP, the 60 has 10MP. They're about the same price. I would have thought that 10MP is too high for the tiny sensor. Any advice? Thanks.

However, the M60 has Shake Reduction, so it should often enable you to use a lower ISO setting than you would have to use with the M50 that doesn't have Shake Reduction. Also the M60 is bound to be better in a few ways because it is a newer model.
I thought they were the same spec, apart from the sensor?

I've been looking at these on line with a view to using one as a 'pocket' camera.
I'd be swayed towards the smaller count, but I would only be printing A4 at max!

Mustn't forget the Zenits, or folders, or...

PPG entries.

I use a 7.1MP T30 and prefer it to the 10MP compacts. The resolution may be lower but the image characteristics seem less gritty.
Best regards, John

Thanks for the advice. Both models only have 'digital SR'.

I do apologise. I was looking at the Optio 50 instead of the M50!

I'll delete my post above because it doesn't apply.

I would look for a camera with optical shake reduction or stabilisation.
