Canon EOS R50 V

The EOS R50 V is Canon's compact APS-C mirrorless camera aimed at video and content creators. It has a 24.2 MP sensor, DIGIC X, 4K oversampled from 6K, 10-bit Canon Log 3 and mic and headphone jacks; there is no viewfinder or sensor stabilisation. Tests praise the image quality and AF; rolling shutter and the 4K 60p crop are weak points.

Strengths and limitations

  • DPReview praised the image and video quality, reliable autofocus and ergonomics, and noted the fully articulating screen and a second tripod thread on the right for vertical shooting. It found rolling shutter poor, measuring a 31.9 ms readout in 4K 24p; it wrote that 4K 60p has a big crop and digital stabilisation can look stuttery when walking.
