Canon EOS R50 schwarz Body

The Canon EOS R50 is a small content creation camera that makes it ridiculously easy to capture sharp and saturated stills, as well as bright, detailed video with very little effort. The subject detection can be hit and miss and there’s no IBIS, but the EOS R50’s simple controls and huge number of scene modes makes the camera a decent choice for mirrorless newbies nonetheless.

With sharp 4K, fast burst shooting and a slim size, it’s an ideal travel camera.

Recommended - A great choice for vloggers, for content creators and for travelling light.

he Canon EOS R50 will delight anyone looking for a compact and affordable camera with the flexibility of interchangeable lenses. It’s small but comfortable in your hands, packs excellent photo and video quality with decent autofocus, a flip screen, viewfinder, a mic input, fast albeit short bursts, and plenty of creative and guided control. Beginners and students will love it, but the R50 will equally appeal to anyone who enjoys smaller cameras, perhaps for travel or as a casual companion to a bigger model. The tiny body and position in Canon’s range sadly rules out IBIS, and it’s not surprising to find a smaller battery, single card slot, and a modest buffer especially for RAW. If you’re not bothered about adopting Canon’s latest system and simply want the most affordable EOS, consider the older EOS M50 which may lack usable 4k video, but squeezes in at a lower price point and with a wider kit zoom. Then there’s DSLRs like the EOS 200D, 250D, or 2000D. But if you’re looking for the most affordable entry to Canon’s EOS R system, the R50 has you covered, packing respectable quality and features into one of the cutest bodies around. In fact I think the looks might sway it for me over the slightly more advanced R10.

The EOS R50 is an ultra-compact mirrorless camera with good photo quality and an impressive autofocus system. Its 4K video quality is decent, though it gets distorted easily if you pan the camera, and you can't take a lot of shots in a row. Aside from that, the R50 is an a solid camera for its price.
