Canon EOS R50 V Mirrorless Camera Body

Overview

The Canon EOS R50 V is a body-only APS-C mirrorless camera built for video, the first entry in Canon's new EOS V line. It pairs a 24.2MP sensor with 4K recording up to 119.8p slow motion and Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, aimed at creators who already have RF-S lenses.

The R50 V breaks from Canon's photo-first R50 by putting video controls up front, including a vertical-video tripod mount and a Front Record button for solo filming. Being body only, it assumes the buyer already owns or plans to buy RF-S glass. Slow and Fast mode gives in-camera control over frame rate and playback speed without editing software.

• First EOS V-series body, built for video not stills
• Slow and Fast mode for adjustable frame rate and playback speed
• 4K recording up to 119.8p Full HD slow motion
• Dual Pixel CMOS AF II with animal and vehicle detection

Who it's for

Suits vloggers, streamers and podcasters who want a dedicated video body with vertical-shooting controls and already have RF-S lenses in mind. Not for buyers who want a lens included in the box or who shoot mostly stills, since this body leans toward video-first ergonomics.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The 24.2MP APS-C sensor and DIGIC X processor combine for 4K cropped at up to 59.94p, full-width 4K at 29.97p, and Full HD slow motion up to 119.8p. Dual Pixel CMOS AF II adds Register People Priority alongside automatic detection of people, animals and vehicles, so the camera can hold focus on a moving subject without a second operator.
