Hey guys. I'm about to buy a Canon M50 with a 50mm f/1.8 lens. Since the camera and lens are not new, the seller told me to visit the store and take a look at them before buying.
What should I look for as I inspect the camera to ensure the camera will help me take quality photos?
Thanks in advance.

From the top of my head I'd look into:
How old is it? Warranty still valid? Has he got receipts in case it breaks down for some reason?
Does the lens come with filters? Glass filters / UV filters mainly help protect the surface of the lens - avoiding scratches etc that can be a small pain in the ass to have to remove in post.
Does it come with extra batteries, and SD card etc?
I don't know the M50 but from the looks of it, it's got what you (imo) should be most concerned about if you plan on shooting yourself: face tracking auto focus.
