Canon has introduced the EOS R50 V, a compact mirrorless camera designed to meet the growing demands of content creators looking for more creative control and professional-level features in a portable, easy-to-use package. With support for interchangeable RF lenses, oversampled 4K video, advanced autofocus, and livestreaming tools, the EOS R50 V is positioned as the next step for creators ready to upgrade their visual storytelling.
At its core, the EOS R50 V features a 24MP APS-C sensor that captures 4K 30p footage with detail-rich 6K oversampling, along with 4K 60p and Full HD 120p for high-quality slow-motion. Canon’s intelligent Dual Pixel CMOS AF II ensures quick and accurate subject tracking, making solo shooting and complex framing more manageable. For creators diving into post-production colour grading, Canon Log 3 provides a flat colour profile with wide dynamic range and greater flexibility in editing.
This camera also offers features tailored to the modern content creator. Custom picture styles, creative filters, and variable movie speeds enable creators to craft content with a distinct look and feel. With vertical shooting support, aspect markers for multiple formats, and a dedicated LIVE button for quick access to livestreaming settings, the EOS R50 V is ideal for a range of content—from TikTok-ready clips to cinematic travel videos.
Audio is just as advanced, with four-channel recording that supports multiple microphones—ideal for interviews, podcasts, or documentary setups. A front-facing record button, vari-angle touchscreen, and compact design make the EOS R50 V well-suited to solo shooters and vloggers. Paired with Canon’s RF-S 14-30mm F4-6.3 IS STM PZ lens, the EOS R50 V enables smooth power zoom control directly from the camera’s integrated zoom lever, enhancing creative options for mobile filmmakers.
