Canon EOS R50 V / Sony α7 V

Canon EOS R50 V: Body · 24.2 MP APS-C, no viewfinder

Sony α7 V: ILCE-7M5 · body only, black

SpecificationCanon EOS R50 VSony α7 V
Release year20252025
Sensor24.2 MP APS-C CMOS (approx. 22.3 × 14.9 mm)

APS-C is a sensor size smaller than full frame and common in mirrorless cameras.

Canon		35 mm full-frame partially stacked Exmor RS CMOS; 33.0 MP effective for stills, 27.6 MP for video; 35.7 MP total

The partially stacked design speeds up sensor readout, reducing the skew (rolling shutter) the electronic shutter causes with fast-moving subjects.

StabilisationNo sensor-shift stabilisation · lens-based or digital only

Digital stabilisation works by cropping the image; its effect can be limited when shooting on the move.

Video4K UHD up to 60p · 4K oversampled from 6K at 30p and below · Full HD 120p · 10-bit 4:2:2 XF-HEVC S · Canon Log 3

Canon Log 3 is a recording profile that keeps a wider tonal range for later colour grading. A single recording is limited to 2 hours.

Canon		Up to 4K 119.88p; full-frame 4K 60p oversampled from 7K (no pixel binning); 8-bit 4:2:0 and 10-bit 4:2:2; XAVC S, XAVC HS, XAVC S-I; S-Log3

Oversampling builds each 4K frame from more pixel data for extra detail.

Sony does not give the measurement conditions.

Sony
Image stabilisation—5-axis sensor shift; 7.5 stops at centre, 6.5 stops at the edge

Measured to CIPA 2024 with the FE 50 mm F1.2 GM lens; results may differ with other lenses.

Sony
Continuous shooting—30 fps electronic shutter, 10 fps mechanical; blackout-free with full AF/AE tracking in electronic mode Sony
Pre-Capture—Records frames from up to one second before the shutter is fully pressed

Helps catch hard-to-predict moments such as a bird taking off.

Sony
Monitor—3.2-type TFT touchscreen, 2,095,104 dots; 4-axis articulation (98° up, 40° down, 180° sideways, 270° rotation when open)

The screen can both swing out to face forward and tilt up or down on the body axis, so it works for both video and low-angle stills.

Sony
Bit rate—XAVC S-I 4K up to 600 Mbit/s (10-bit 4:2:2, 59.94p), XAVC HS 4K up to 280 Mbit/s

High bit-rate recording needs a card fast enough for the chosen format.

Sony
Recording time—About 90 minutes of continuous 4K 60p 4:2:0 8-bit recording

The duration depends on ambient temperature and settings.

Card slots—Slot 1: SD (UHS-I/II) or CFexpress Type A; Slot 2: SD (UHS-I/II) Sony
USB—2 × USB-C: port 1 10 Gbit/s (USB 3.2), port 2 480 Mbit/s (USB 2.0); both support USB PD

The battery can charge and the camera can run from either port; Sony says PD power capacity is 3–4 times that of the α7 IV.
