This is like the "tell me the EF-M mount is dead without telling me the EF-M mount is dead camera". However, I do like how Canon is keeping their lineup clean and logical this time with price to feature ratios across all models being justifiable and not feeling like things are being artificially left out for the sake of forced market segmentation.
I have said this for the last year on my channel only to have the EOS-M owners tell me how wrong and off base I was about Canon trying to move away from EOS-M
I wish Canon would either produce some high quality RF-s lenses, or open up the mount to third party makers to do it for them. Good bodies, weak lenses.
anyone looking to buy this camera-PLEASE watch reviews on the Canon RP. This video did not mention it (from my knowledge) and many creators seem to have forgotten about it. It shoots full-frame and offers more buttons and other features over this new R50 model. I found my Canon RP online, refurbished FOR ONLY $600 (sold and bought directly from Canon’s refurbished shop)!
Looks like a nice upgrade over the M50. Glad to see they used the LP-E17 instead of holding onto the LP-E12. It was odd how they split battery types in EF-M considering how close in size the two batteries are.
I've been a Canon fan going back to the film days then the T3i hooked me on digital. I didn't have money or a major need to upgrade till the m50 and SL3 came along. I ultimately settled on the SL3 mainly because it used EF and EFS lenses which I already had and it had clean hdmi out. It wasn't mirrorless but other than that the two were almost identical in faults and features. Shortly after my purchase the R series came out and the announcement that Canon was doing away with DSLRs and their primary lens system going forward would be the new R-mount. I immediately regretted going Canon with my previous purchase and vowed never to buy Canon again. Since Sony came out with the EV-10 it's been on my wish list and my recommendation for an entry-level or budget interchangeable lens camera. I did purchase the ZV-1 and it is the camera I take everwhere but the 24-70 while good is a limitation where I often have to take my SL3 along to compensate for. The R50 has a lot of promise and fixes the issues I had with the M50 and SL3. I wish it were closer to the M50's price point but at least I can adapt my existing EF and EFS lenses with fewer issues than adapting them to Sony's E-mount. I might consider it though as I like Canon colors over all compared to Sony. While Canon generally produces a better overall picture to my eye, Sony cameras at similar price points tend to offer more features. What I'll end up doing is comparing the EV-10 to the R50. Whichever I choose will be my brand choice and recommendation for a long time to come.
I preordered the R50 as a replacement for my SL2/200D, and as a smaller companion to my RP. For kayaking and outdoor activities I like to have a small & light kit. As much as I've liked the SL2, the R50 is the camera I've been waiting for, better and smaller.
@@pilarpsp127 As it turned out, an acquaintance suggested to me that the R10 was really the camera I wanted and when I went to a store and held it I realized that she was right. Only VERY slightly larger than the SL2 but with a level of functionality more comparable to a 90D. I highly prize small size & low weight, so for me to go for the R10 instead of the R50, you know it has to be delivering a lot more functionality. It has been the perfect complement to my RP. I have to admit that the R10 outshines the RP in some ways. I'd urge you to compare them both in hand and see what feels right for this role for you.
I’m in the same boat. How has your experience been? I’ve been very happy with my 200D. Great size and great functionality for my amateur use. R50 is just looking very tempting. I mostly use it for some minimal product photos of my product and for some TH-cam videos. Do you think it’s worth the upgrade?
@@eclairleathergoods For product photography but especially product videos on TH-cam the R50 has a special product mode (like some Sony cameras)! That's something even the R10 and the R7 don't have! There was also a kit with a microphone sold. But now I don't see this kit any more ...
Seems like the battery / memory door for R50 is like the M series. To me this is a huge problem as I always have an attachment plate on the camera, so it is very likely that those plates will obstruct the opening of the battery door.
I have an M50 MkII. If I move up to the R series, I am more attracted to the full frame versions (R8 or R6 MkII), but will probably wait until there are a wide range of affordable lenses.
Same issue with the nikon z30. There's no good lenses for it. You can buy expensive full frame lenses and put it on this APS-C body I guess. But you really want to put a $1500 lens on a $600 camera? If this had existed 6months ago I maybe would have got it over the nikon.
Forget affordable lenses. If you get cheaper lens, then from slow aperture f4 (x1,6=6,4), quite disappointing. Adapting ef lenses is option, but you hardly get wide angle lens. Ef-s 10-18 f/4.5-5.6 affordable but slow, no handhold low light photos, no creative depth of field control.
Higher full frame resolution sensors require far more processing power, it’s not that hard to understand. If you want 4K 60p with a 40mp full frame sensor and no crop it will cost you a pretty penny for sure. You can blame RED’s raw patent (it’s them blocking and demanding royalties for anyone who dares to implement raw in camera for video, bm is the sole exception as they developed theirs before red)
Thanks Gordon, amazing review as always! Some outlets have the R50 priced remarkably close to the R10 I notice E.g. WEX have the R50 body for £789 and the R10 for £799 with a lens reward ? Baffling! ?
Unfortunately there’s zero upgrade case from a Nikon Z50/ Z30/ ZFC. No 60fps 4k or IBIS which are the things consumers want. Heck they haven’t even put IBIS in the R8. Only upgrade case for me now is the Sonys, and I hate the menus, one of the full frame cameras or more likely Lumix S5ii which has everything consumers need apart from the large form factor. There’s a massive market for S5ii features in a small APS- C body.
Thing is, if you put S5 II features in an APSC body, you get something like a Fujifilm XT5 / XH2, with a price that overlaps many full-framers. Sony also tried with the A6500 and A6600 but they were too expensive too vs their entry-level or older full-frame options.
@@cameralabs true, many though favour a small form factor. I’m one and favoured a Z30 simply because I don’t find I need a viewfinder that much and it’s important, particularly when travelling, I can slip the camera in my short or jacket pocket.
S5II is a cine camera pretending to be a mirrorless. People who aren't filmmakers would never appreciate its full capabilities. Vloggers don't do films, hence the S5II only attract few potential buyers. No camera can touch S5II when it comes to filmmaking.
Thanks Gordon. So many vloggers I follow use the M50 and speak so highly of it. Regularly. I'm not sure that bold lens decision is going to make Canon more money from vloggers!!)
Agreed. Since the first three RFS lenses are similar to earlier EFM models, I wonder how closely this system will follow that one. The EFM 32mm f1.4 prime was certainly nice, but we need more than that!
The issue with the R50 is the lack of lenses … Canon doesn’t have a camera problem, they have a lens problem. Yes you can use adapters but that can be quite a pain in the butt. They would be doing a lot more business if they followed Sony e-Mount lead.
Hi Gordon!! I'm not a professional in using video cameras, I make dance videos using my smartphone but honestly I would like to upgrade the quality of my videos. I'm looking for a simple camera for dance videos with the ability to add wide angle length and be capable in low light environments as well. It doesn't have to be the best, but I need it to be better than a smartphone in terms of quality, to be a budget and of course, simple to use. Is this camera good for me ? There's also the Sony ZV 1 and ZV 1f. I would appreciate your recommendation
Firstly great video. Should I go for Nikon Z50 for Canon R50 now being a beginner photographer. Going to use the camera for personal travel photos and videos.
Great all round review. I have an R5 with some good lenses, but wanted something to throw over my shoulder for everyday just out and about. This will now be the R50 kit, acknowledging it isn't the R5 and knowing it is for quick snap fun. Cheers.
Hi Gordon. Because of your review on the Canon 15-85mm lens more than 10 years ago, I bought said lens. This is to extend my long overdue thanx. Emil from the Philippines.
Thanks for the thoughtful (as always) review! Just seen the pricing in Germany, 830 EUR - to high for a fast decision but I see the big advantages in video compared to the M50/ii and it might be a great companion to the R7 (using it with 100-400 EF ii) for wide angle if I will switch to 4k ...
Thank you so much for this review! I'm planning to buy a camera, but I don't know which one should I choose. I'm thinking about Sony A6400, Z50 or maybe Zfc and maybe Canon r50. Which one would you recommend? Thanks for the answers and help! 😀✌️
Thanks Gordon, lovely review! If you don't mind giving me your expert overall opinion - I'm torn between the R10 and the R50, which one in your opinion would you suggest for someone buying their first camera and wants to use it for casual photography with an option to learn and grow with it? (R50 has a promotion pre order with twin kits lens - 18-45 & 55-210mm, whereas the R10 18-150STM almost similarly prices at the moment).. Thanks!
Hi Gordon, great video as always. It is worth noting that the camera can shoot in HDR PQ, which I personally think may be more beneficial than log. Once converted in the edit it is often cleaner than the LOG files which is pretty cool. I have the R7 and often shoot HDR PQ instead now.
Thank you Gordon. It's sad Canon abandoned EF-M mount cameras. I have Canon M50 and I would like to use my lenses in newer model that has similar specs as Sony zve10.
The 250D is a DSLR and only takes EF lenses. The R50 is a mirrorless and can take RF or adapted EF lenses. I'd probably go for the R50 myself as it works with all their future lenses.
Hello Gordon, Great video and informative. Quick question, I currently use a Canon T3i still and works great for the simple recordings I am doing but looking to step up. Most of my recordings are stationary and on a tripod. I use the RODE Wireless GO II for audio. Does the 18-45mm lens that comes with the R50 give you better range and quality than the EFS 18-55 that I have been using with my T3i? Also I would be buying an adapter to use my EF lens with the new R50. Is there anything I should be concerned about as I see different post of this site about problems. Any other additional info you have would be great. Thanks Gordon for all you do.
Hi Vincent, the R50 and your T3i have the same physical size sensor, so the range would be the same if the lens has the same focal length. So the 18-45 will match your 18-55 at the wide-end, but not get quite as close. What sort of step-up are you looking for on the camera, as the R50 will only be a mild improvement.
@@cameralabs Wow!! Surprised since I have had my T3ki for many years. So really looking for mainly overcoming the 30 mins file limit. When I shoot now I only get 12 mins recording time which causes me to have to stitch 6 clips together with a few seconds loss between each making the edit more cumbersome. Will the 55-210 lens for the R50 get me in closer and improve far away speakers? Any other ways the improvement may only be mild? Would you simply recommend buying the EF to RF adapter and using my Nifty 50 lens and the 18-55 lens or would you say get the R50 and the 18-45 and 55-210 lens with the R50 body? Thanks.
@@VincentHIvory ah, I didn't know you wanted longer recording times. Yes, the R50 will give you that. As for lenses, get whichever ones you want! You already know what 18-55 looks like, so if you want longer, get one that goes longer than 55. I film all of my stuff at 24-35 typically.
Thank you. So, with the current avaialble lenses, this camera is not good for hand holding vlogging. I am considering the R8 for this purpose. Hope R8 with kit lens will not be too heavy...
Thanks for the thorough test. Questions - Is there no remote release port on the R50? For an external intervalometer. Is there a Bulb Timer function? How does one shoot exposures longer than 30 seconds?
Good question. There's certainly a Bulb mode that will keep the shutter open for longer than 30s, but I'm not sure what accessory you'd use, maybe USB or Bluetooth. I'll try to find out.
While I will miss the the very handy size of my M kit for hiking and "grab and go", it looks like the R50 and RF-S lenses are at least trying to be a bit smaller than the rest of the R-line. I was getting worried that I would have to buy into a different manufacturer and start all over with new lenses. Now, if only my M lenses would adapt, that would be great, but I'll console myself with the thought that my EF and Rf lenses will work.
Canon have dropped the ball in a way. They need to release a aps-c body aimed at more pro users who need a battery grip. I would have ordered one for the sports I shoot if it had been made available with a BG, which is practically mandatory for the way we shoot. Their line up is becoming stacked with practically every type of mirrorless body aside from “pro” level crop sensor body.
I ran into Ken Rockwell's review. I was stunned! He was the only one to let us know that the r50 totally screwed up the hot shoe! Gotta buy an adapter for 40 +tx to use your flash!! That finally cinched it for me. NO R Series! I am sorry you did not cover that but as I read below you are an amazon associate. I was once vine, I never got the good stuff.
Ken uses affiliate links too! I didn't mention the hotshoe limitation as I didn't notice it. Flash has never been a priority for me, so I don't always notice when pins or features are missing with it. Conversely, I notice and mention a lot of stuff that others miss. That's why it's important to check out multiple reviews to get the full story. Ultimately the R50 is a budget model so sadly you will need to expect some limitations.
It's been three year on a m50 and its slowing down my interest due to weak battery ,no PD function and small body . I'm more on the photo enthusiast side and I just think m50 is not for hybrid enthusiast, m50 is only for TH-camr and specially vloger . Now if I only upgrade the camera ,I would want to go for R6mk 2 but it's costly for my enthusiasm. I think people.like me would find R10 the best option ,pocket friendly ,good ergonomic with decent features and spend rest on glases . R50 doesn't make that much of a sense for me .
As usual, I'm a dollar short and a year late. Nice review. I had been doing comparison research with two models. T7 and M50 mark ii. I have both and original M50. I have been thinking, seriously of getting the R50 as my M50 mark iii. To, sorta, complete my aps-c line, as it were. What do you think? I have learned that the best photographer is the photographer with the most cameras and lenses. I have ef m adapter and ef r50 adapter in preparation if I decide to get the R50. And almost all the m lenses. and a buncha of ef/ef-s lenses. I believe that makes me one of the best photographers.
@@cameralabs Thanks, you settled my quest. There are a few upgrades to make it a M mark iii for me. I have a list of about 30 differences between m50mii so I am still weighing importance for me of those differences. RF lenses, no. I might, if I do buy R50, get the kit lens, so far it's only $50 more & tax above the body, refurbished, of course. Thanks again.
@@cameralabs At 600 usd that defeats the purpose of a refurb r50, besides w/ adapter I can use my ef s 18-55 is stm 3.5. At this level of photography it is silly, in my mind, to spend 600 +tax for what amounts to, a snapshot camera. And asp-c, like the M and Rebel dslr's they are all going down the tube (maybe). Perhaps, like vinyl and cassette, there may be a resurgence, and mpb and ebay are ready and waiting in the wings.
seems silly to go with the RF mount on the small body, the efm mount was a better match, if you wanted a small system the efm lenses were great, now you have to use rf lenses which will soon become big carry with three where as the efm lenses took up alot less space and yes i use the ef ef-s lenses as well on the M50, and how much of the autofocus problems with the higher end RF bodies does the R50 have using sigma ef ef-s lenses
I suspect before long they will have RFS equivalents of all the EFM lenses. BUT the big question is whether they'll develop it beyond those. I hope so.
I think photographers bean treated like worms for such a long time that a threshold became so low, that people are willing accept anything... How can You disrespect thyself and spend money on such obviously and purposly artificially designed to be "not so good" camera
@@cameralabs yes that's why I was thinking r10 will be suitable for a travel camera ..especially that it has a better grip ...I have an r6 but I do need something lighter to travel but also acceptable enough in the shooting and video range
first, this should have been an update to the m62 form factor. The m62 now looks futuristic compared to this little thing. The second and core problem with this camera + RFS crop is that the lens selection is pretty much the worst in the industry. Canon has actually made their entry level lenses worse than its last generation. It's a damn shame. Canon has taken their marketing to the extremes and that these cheap cameras are proposed with really cheap low performing lenses (At least in terms of gathering light). That 24 to 50 is one of the most awful lenses I've ever seen produced in terms of range. That's just terrible for crop. Unless you can put some really good primes or ultrawides on this thing, then it just fails completely. For the most basic shooting it's going to be pretty much full auto ease of use in daylight. After that It will desperately need a tripod. The R8 I can understand. This camera tragically I just can't.
i agree, the latest RF lenses look pretty terrible to be honest. The zoom ranges are so short and the apertures are so dark. The RF 24-105 goes from F4 to F7.1 that’s almost 2 stops darker. I feel like canon are using IBIS and image stabilisation on lenses as an excuse for this
@@jameo3606 They are relying on users being more confident with higher isos. While it is partially warranted for basic/amateur consumers, it still doesn't excuse 2 stops darker apertures from previous designs... thats a LOT of light :0
I don’t understand Canon R numbers. I love the cameras. But I would have thought the R7 would make the R50 a R70? And the R6 ought to make the R8 an R60?
@@myviews469 you've got a bit mixed up! You can put full frame or cropped lenses on the R50, but they need to be Canon RF lenses if you don't want to use an adapter. If you use an adapter though, you can use any EF lens from any company, whether full-frame or cropped. As for a battery grip, no there isn't one for the R50.,
Without more RF-S lenses the R50 unfortunately just doesn’t make any sense. For just a few bucks more you can do the R8 with full frame and enjoy all of the full frame RF lenses.
@@cameralabs Thanks, if possible can you compare the 1080p quality of R50 against M50. Since most of us beginners would prefer to use the 1080p resolution of this camera
@@Abhish3k_R choose it on which one has the lenses you want and can afford or borrow. If you're only using the kit zoom, get whichever brand and look you prefer.
The usual Canon marketing to attract diehard Canon local photography fans. I'm glad I have made the move to Fujifilm. Still sticking to my mid range Canon R body and a few RF L lenses though. If I owned the lower tier bodies like theCanon M50 or xxD bodies, I would have done a complete switch of camera systems by now. Canon has been uninspiring in their body and lens designs for APS-C cameras.
😭😭 me after buying the R10 with 18-45mm lens yesterday for £750. Do you think I should get the R50 instead?? I am a beginner, who would like to take travel, family, animal photos and some 4k video. specs wise they seem identical but R50 becoming more much lighter. I am very stressed now lol
I like this camera, I would purchase it if I wasn't already in the Canon ecosystem. However, I would use it to make arty-pharty videos. It seems like overkill for vlogging and the 28-60 kit lens doesn't seem appropriate - a bit like the kit lens for the R50!
Your M50 is still a fine camera with more native lenses available for it right now. If you want decent 4k, then yes, upgrade, but otherwise I'd stick with it.
Smaller sensor doesn't mean inferior features! But more importantly it's a few years newer than the RP, so benefits from the latest image processor features.
@@cameralabs oh absolutely, it's great that are packing more features which is great all round. Would imagine the 16mm lens that canon has is a great pairing
@@ionrage Yeah, it's still a tad too long for handheld vlogging with the 16 if you have digital stabilisation applied BUT hopefully there'll be some 10-16mm range lenses in the future.
Só after 7 years Canon, offers the same 4k vídeo and 1080p, 120fps, finally, as the Sony a6300, released in 2016, with a fully articulated LCD. Bravo Canon. They finnaly catch up! Who wants this câmera? No 6k, nor 4k 60 at an affordable price!?? Still? No wonder amateur filmakers buy other gear, such as the Fuji h2. I feel offenfed by Canon.

Yep, the RP is definitely a solid option, albeit falling behind on video.
Is the 4k vídeo of the RP oversampled from 6k?
@@filipelollita806 no, the 4k mode on the RP takes a tight crop, so no oversampling as far as I recall.
Thank you for making such thoughtful, in-depth videos. I really appreciate the time and effort you put in to help us all make purchasing decisions.
Looks like a nice upgrade over the M50. Glad to see they used the LP-E17 instead of holding onto the LP-E12. It was odd how they split battery types in EF-M considering how close in size the two batteries are.
I have a M50 and I am thinking of upgrading, but I don't personally think it is worth so much money. I'd rather go for a RP.
I've been a Canon fan going back to the film days then the T3i hooked me on digital. I didn't have money or a major need to upgrade till the m50 and SL3 came along.

While Canon generally produces a better overall picture to my eye, Sony cameras at similar price points tend to offer more features. What I'll end up doing is comparing the EV-10 to the R50. Whichever I choose will be my brand choice and recommendation for a long time to come.
I preordered the R50 as a replacement for my SL2/200D, and as a smaller companion to my RP. For kayaking and outdoor activities I like to have a small & light kit. As much as I've liked the SL2, the R50 is the camera I've been waiting for, better and smaller.
How is the r50 for you after few months? I do own rp but with a bigger lens it’s not something I would like to take on family trips…
@@pilarpsp127 As it turned out, an acquaintance suggested to me that the R10 was really the camera I wanted and when I went to a store and held it I realized that she was right. Only VERY slightly larger than the SL2 but with a level of functionality more comparable to a 90D. I highly prize small size & low weight, so for me to go for the R10 instead of the R50, you know it has to be delivering a lot more functionality.
It has been the perfect complement to my RP. I have to admit that the R10 outshines the RP in some ways. I'd urge you to compare them both in hand and see what feels right for this role for you.
@@lisahorton826 thanks for your answer, will do :)
I’m in the same boat. How has your experience been? I’ve been very happy with my 200D. Great size and great functionality for my amateur use. R50 is just looking very tempting. I mostly use it for some minimal product photos of my product and for some TH-cam videos. Do you think it’s worth the upgrade?
@@eclairleathergoods For product photography but especially product videos on TH-cam the R50 has a special product mode (like some Sony cameras)! That's something even the R10 and the R7 don't have! There was also a kit with a microphone sold. But now I don't see this kit any more ...
Seems like the battery / memory door for R50 is like the M series. To me this is a huge problem as I always have an attachment plate on the camera, so it is very likely that those plates will obstruct the opening of the battery door.
Definitely
it would be awesome seeing a comparison with the Sony zv e10
I like it as a “modern” addition to my 5D classic. Lovely form factor, and good enough as a basic travel camera.
I have an M50 MkII. If I move up to the R series, I am more attracted to the full frame versions (R8 or R6 MkII), but will probably wait until there are a wide range of affordable lenses.
> but will probably wait until there are a wide range of affordable lenses
Sure hope you like waiting...
Same issue with the nikon z30. There's no good lenses for it. You can buy expensive full frame lenses and put it on this APS-C body I guess. But you really want to put a $1500 lens on a $600 camera?
If this had existed 6months ago I maybe would have got it over the nikon.
I have M50 but have no plans of moving as I have too many lenses.
Agreed. The EOS-M form factor makes sense for APS-C lenses.
Full size camera and lenses with a crop sensor body don’t make sense anymore.
Forget affordable lenses. If you get cheaper lens, then from slow aperture f4 (x1,6=6,4), quite disappointing. Adapting ef lenses is option, but you hardly get wide angle lens. Ef-s 10-18 f/4.5-5.6 affordable but slow, no handhold low light photos, no creative depth of field control.
4:05 The R10 doesn't have a headphone jack either. The R7 and R8 have.
you're right, my bad.
Great review, I still don’t understand why we can’t get 4k 60fps in every camera at this point. Heck at least put 2k @ 60fps.
You have to consider can the majority afford the camera if 4K 60 inside
Higher full frame resolution sensors require far more processing power, it’s not that hard to understand. If you want 4K 60p with a 40mp full frame sensor and no crop it will cost you a pretty penny for sure. You can blame RED’s raw patent (it’s them blocking and demanding royalties for anyone who dares to implement raw in camera for video, bm is the sole exception as they developed theirs before red)
Sensor readout, processing power and battery consumption all go up, so are at odds with a budget camera.
Looks like its a good candidate for the old EF-S 10-18 IS if someone has the R-EF adapter. I loved that lens on my 80D.
yeah, good option until they do an RFS version
Thanks Gordon, amazing review as always! Some outlets have the R50 priced remarkably close to the R10 I notice E.g. WEX have the R50 body for £789 and the R10 for £799 with a lens reward ? Baffling! ?
Yeah, new models are always full RRP, but ones even a few months older may already be discounted
Unfortunately there’s zero upgrade case from a Nikon Z50/ Z30/ ZFC. No 60fps 4k or IBIS which are the things consumers want. Heck they haven’t even put IBIS in the R8. Only upgrade case for me now is the Sonys, and I hate the menus, one of the full frame cameras or more likely Lumix S5ii which has everything consumers need apart from the large form factor.
There’s a massive market for S5ii features in a small APS- C body.
Thing is, if you put S5 II features in an APSC body, you get something like a Fujifilm XT5 / XH2, with a price that overlaps many full-framers. Sony also tried with the A6500 and A6600 but they were too expensive too vs their entry-level or older full-frame options.
@@cameralabs true, many though favour a small form factor. I’m one and favoured a Z30 simply because I don’t find I need a viewfinder that much and it’s important, particularly when travelling, I can slip the camera in my short or jacket pocket.
S5II is a cine camera pretending to be a mirrorless. People who aren't filmmakers would never appreciate its full capabilities. Vloggers don't do films, hence the S5II only attract few potential buyers. No camera can touch S5II when it comes to filmmaking.
Thanks Gordon. So many vloggers I follow use the M50 and speak so highly of it. Regularly.
I'm not sure that bold lens decision is going to make Canon more money from vloggers!!)
Cannon needs to open it's APSC cameras to third party lens manufacturers, they don't even have a prime lens.
Agreed. Since the first three RFS lenses are similar to earlier EFM models, I wonder how closely this system will follow that one. The EFM 32mm f1.4 prime was certainly nice, but we need more than that!
@@cameralabs Oh, I have a sigma 18-35. What adapter should I get?
@@kennethearl9878 the EF to EOS R
@@cameralabs Have you already tried putting the sigma 18-35 on your R50? I'm really curious if you can still use autofocus on 4k.
@@kennethearl9878 I haven't, no, but I did try it on the original EOS R. I'd say it should work ok, but maybe go into a shop first to try.
The issue with the R50 is the lack of lenses … Canon doesn’t have a camera problem, they have a lens problem. Yes you can use adapters but that can be quite a pain in the butt. They would be doing a lot more business if they followed Sony e-Mount lead.
Hi Gordon!!
I'm not a professional in using video cameras, I make dance videos using my smartphone but honestly I would like to upgrade the quality of my videos. I'm looking for a simple camera for dance videos with the ability to add wide angle length and be capable in low light environments as well. It doesn't have to be the best, but I need it to be better than a smartphone in terms of quality, to be a budget and of course, simple to use. Is this camera good for me ? There's also the Sony ZV 1 and ZV 1f.
I would appreciate your recommendation
Great review Gordon, thank you. The R50 looks like a great travel / budget-friendly option that will do well for Canon.
Firstly great video. Should I go for Nikon Z50 for Canon R50 now being a beginner photographer. Going to use the camera for personal travel photos and videos.
Both are similar, so choose them based on lens selection and pricing, plus any brand or style preference
Great all round review. I have an R5 with some good lenses, but wanted something to throw over my shoulder for everyday just out and about. This will now be the R50 kit, acknowledging it isn't the R5 and knowing it is for quick snap fun. Cheers.
Hi Gordon. Because of your review on the Canon 15-85mm lens more than 10 years ago, I bought said lens.
This is to extend my long overdue thanx.
Emil from the Philippines.
Thabks, I remember that review!
Thanks for the thoughtful (as always) review! Just seen the pricing in Germany, 830 EUR - to high for a fast decision but I see the big advantages in video compared to the M50/ii and it might be a great companion to the R7 (using it with 100-400 EF ii) for wide angle if I will switch to 4k ...
Its £900 in the UK! Crazy!
Thank you so much for this review!
I'm planning to buy a camera, but I don't know which one should I choose. I'm thinking about Sony A6400, Z50 or maybe Zfc and maybe Canon r50. Which one would you recommend? Thanks for the answers and help! 😀✌️
So I’m still rocking the original M 50 is this enough of an upgrade to upgrade?
Only if you want decent 4k and access to RF lenses.
@@cameralabs cool thank you
Thanks Gordon, lovely review! If you don't mind giving me your expert overall opinion - I'm torn between the R10 and the R50, which one in your opinion would you suggest for someone buying their first camera and wants to use it for casual photography with an option to learn and grow with it? (R50 has a promotion pre order with twin kits lens - 18-45 & 55-210mm, whereas the R10 18-150STM almost similarly prices at the moment).. Thanks!
The R10 has more controls, so will be less frustrating if you get more into it later.
good 18min+ review of the portable (good value £789) camera. Thanks Gordon,.
You're very welcome!
Hi Gordon, great video as always. It is worth noting that the camera can shoot in HDR PQ, which I personally think may be more beneficial than log. Once converted in the edit it is often cleaner than the LOG files which is pretty cool. I have the R7 and often shoot HDR PQ instead now.
Yes, I need to spend more time trying out that format
Hi Gordon would you be able to comment on the hotshoe. According to Canon’s product images there are no pins for a flashgun - is this correct?
I feel stupid for not checking, sorry.
This camera will be a hold for me until there is more lens selection. The benefit for me is the travel aspects.
Thank you Gordon. It's sad Canon abandoned EF-M mount cameras. I have Canon M50 and I would like to use my lenses in newer model that has similar specs as Sony zve10.
Hey Gordon, great work as always! Can you confirm whether the r50 hot shoe has a centre pin for manual flash?
no
New to the hobby, can’t decide which to buy, Canon EOS 250D or Canon R50 ?
The 250D is a DSLR and only takes EF lenses. The R50 is a mirrorless and can take RF or adapted EF lenses. I'd probably go for the R50 myself as it works with all their future lenses.
@@cameralabs thank you 🙏
Hello Gordon, Great video and informative. Quick question, I currently use a Canon T3i still and works great for the simple recordings I am doing but looking to step up. Most of my recordings are stationary and on a tripod. I use the RODE Wireless GO II for audio. Does the 18-45mm lens that comes with the R50 give you better range and quality than the EFS 18-55 that I have been using with my T3i? Also I would be buying an adapter to use my EF lens with the new R50. Is there anything I should be concerned about as I see different post of this site about problems. Any other additional info you have would be great. Thanks Gordon for all you do.
Hi Vincent, the R50 and your T3i have the same physical size sensor, so the range would be the same if the lens has the same focal length. So the 18-45 will match your 18-55 at the wide-end, but not get quite as close. What sort of step-up are you looking for on the camera, as the R50 will only be a mild improvement.
@@cameralabs Wow!! Surprised since I have had my T3ki for many years. So really looking for mainly overcoming the 30 mins file limit. When I shoot now I only get 12 mins recording time which causes me to have to stitch 6 clips together with a few seconds loss between each making the edit more cumbersome. Will the 55-210 lens for the R50 get me in closer and improve far away speakers? Any other ways the improvement may only be mild? Would you simply recommend buying the EF to RF adapter and using my Nifty 50 lens and the 18-55 lens or would you say get the R50 and the 18-45 and 55-210 lens with the R50 body? Thanks.
@@VincentHIvory ah, I didn't know you wanted longer recording times. Yes, the R50 will give you that. As for lenses, get whichever ones you want! You already know what 18-55 looks like, so if you want longer, get one that goes longer than 55. I film all of my stuff at 24-35 typically.
Thank you. So, with the current avaialble lenses, this camera is not good for hand holding vlogging. I am considering the R8 for this purpose. Hope R8 with kit lens will not be too heavy...
Thanks for the thorough test. Questions - Is there no remote release port on the R50? For an external intervalometer. Is there a Bulb Timer function? How does one shoot exposures longer than 30 seconds?
Good question. There's certainly a Bulb mode that will keep the shutter open for longer than 30s, but I'm not sure what accessory you'd use, maybe USB or Bluetooth. I'll try to find out.
Thanks for the video! One thing is not clear for me: shooting in 120 fps 1080 p does is use AF? Thanks for your answer!
Good question and I'm afraid I'm not 100% sure BUT I think it does support AF at 120p.
Gordon, would you recommend these as good options for multicamera studio recording of podcasts, on tripods
Maybe, but remember the 1hr clip limit
@@cameralabs I don't have that much to say, lol
@@cameralabs if I went past the 1 hour limit, would I be able to simply press record again and start a new clip to continue?
ef-s 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 is stm works perfect with an adapter. thank you again for a great video.
Yep, I'm hoping to do some tests with this combo
While I will miss the the very handy size of my M kit for hiking and "grab and go", it looks like the R50 and RF-S lenses are at least trying to be a bit smaller than the rest of the R-line. I was getting worried that I would have to buy into a different manufacturer and start all over with new lenses. Now, if only my M lenses would adapt, that would be great, but I'll console myself with the thought that my EF and Rf lenses will work.
Canon have dropped the ball in a way. They need to release a aps-c body aimed at more pro users who need a battery grip. I would have ordered one for the sports I shoot if it had been made available with a BG, which is practically mandatory for the way we shoot. Their line up is becoming stacked with practically every type of mirrorless body aside from “pro” level crop sensor body.
That's right, R7 has no battery grip, correct?
It's canon marketing doing their thing.
I ran into Ken Rockwell's review. I was stunned! He was the only one to let us know that the r50 totally screwed up the hot shoe! Gotta buy an adapter for 40 +tx to use your flash!! That finally cinched it for me. NO R Series! I am sorry you did not cover that but as I read below you are an amazon associate. I was once vine, I never got the good stuff.
Ken uses affiliate links too! I didn't mention the hotshoe limitation as I didn't notice it. Flash has never been a priority for me, so I don't always notice when pins or features are missing with it. Conversely, I notice and mention a lot of stuff that others miss. That's why it's important to check out multiple reviews to get the full story. Ultimately the R50 is a budget model so sadly you will need to expect some limitations.
It's been three year on a m50 and its slowing down my interest due to weak battery ,no PD function and small body . I'm more on the photo enthusiast side and I just think m50 is not for hybrid enthusiast, m50 is only for TH-camr and specially vloger .
Now if I only upgrade the camera ,I would want to go for R6mk 2 but it's costly for my enthusiasm. I think people.like me would find R10 the best option ,pocket friendly ,good ergonomic with decent features and spend rest on glases . R50 doesn't make that much of a sense for me .
Once R1 is out, Canon is really gonna mop the floor with Sony.
As usual, I'm a dollar short and a year late. Nice review. I had been doing comparison research with two models. T7 and M50 mark ii. I have both and original M50. I have been thinking, seriously of getting the R50 as my M50 mark iii. To, sorta, complete my aps-c line, as it were. What do you think? I have learned that the best photographer is the photographer with the most cameras and lenses. I have ef m adapter and ef r50 adapter in preparation if I decide to get the R50. And almost all the m lenses. and a buncha of ef/ef-s lenses. I believe that makes me one of the best photographers.
I like your approach! In all seriousness, I'd only get the R50 if you wanted to use RF lenses or if it did something for you that the M50 does not.
@@cameralabs Thanks, you settled my quest. There are a few upgrades to make it a M mark iii for me. I have a list of about 30 differences between m50mii so I am still weighing importance for me of those differences. RF lenses, no. I might, if I do buy R50, get the kit lens, so far it's only $50 more & tax above the body, refurbished, of course. Thanks again.
@@Dr.T.Bael.666 at least you can now get the two Sigma DC DN f2.8 zooms for the RF mount.
@@cameralabs At 600 usd that defeats the purpose of a refurb r50, besides w/ adapter I can use my ef s 18-55 is stm 3.5. At this level of photography it is silly, in my mind, to spend 600 +tax for what amounts to, a snapshot camera. And asp-c, like the M and Rebel dslr's they are all going down the tube (maybe). Perhaps, like vinyl and cassette, there may be a resurgence, and mpb and ebay are ready and waiting in the wings.
seems silly to go with the RF mount on the small body, the efm mount was a better match, if you wanted a small system the efm lenses were great,
now you have to use rf lenses which will soon become big carry with three where as the efm lenses took up alot less space
and yes i use the ef ef-s lenses as well on the M50, and how much of the autofocus problems with the higher end RF bodies does the R50 have using sigma ef ef-s lenses
I suspect before long they will have RFS equivalents of all the EFM lenses. BUT the big question is whether they'll develop it beyond those. I hope so.
Did you say if the lens have stabilization that its will work or camera has to have it too?
If the lens has IS then it will work fine! The body doesn't need IBIS for IS on a lens to work.
What's the viewfinder like, compared to say one of the smaller Fujis (the X-S10 or the X-E3) or say the Nikon Z50? / Thanks
Similar
Thanks for the review Gordon. Canon's website says the R50 hasn't got in-built sensor cleaning. How much of a problem do you think that might be?
TBH, I think they all do it to some degree. Just make sure you have a rocket blower to displace any pesky particles that might get into any camera.
I have a number of M mount lenses. If they made an adapter, it might encourage me to move to the rf mount. Great quick review.
Thanks!
The M Mount lenses sadly cannot be adapted to R Cameras. It's a physical limitation.
@@OnlyCitrus Yes, I just heard that,,, sad.
Sir do compare between canon m50 vs r50

Can you do a comparison r10 vs r50
It's mostly about having more controls on the R10. The R50 is stripped back quite a bit.
@@cameralabs yes that's why I was thinking r10 will be suitable for a travel camera ..especially that it has a better grip ...I have an r6 but I do need something lighter to travel but also acceptable enough in the shooting and video range

In High Frame Rate mode, it'll do 1080 at 100 or 120p, yes.
@cameralabs I can't believe you ALWAYS answer my questions! Thank you for that.
@@BoReynolds no problem! I always try to answer all comments if I can!
first, this should have been an update to the m62 form factor. The m62 now looks futuristic compared to this little thing.
The second and core problem with this camera + RFS crop is that the lens selection is pretty much the worst in the industry. Canon has actually made their entry level lenses worse than its last generation. It's a damn shame. Canon has taken their marketing to the extremes and that these cheap cameras are proposed with really cheap low performing lenses (At least in terms of gathering light). That 24 to 50 is one of the most awful lenses I've ever seen produced in terms of range. That's just terrible for crop.
Unless you can put some really good primes or ultrawides on this thing, then it just fails completely. For the most basic shooting it's going to be pretty much full auto ease of use in daylight. After that It will desperately need a tripod.
The R8 I can understand. This camera tragically I just can't.
Dont know, my M6ii with zooms copes with anything i need for casual shooting. I reach for full frame for anything planned at low light
i agree, the latest RF lenses look pretty terrible to be honest. The zoom ranges are so short and the apertures are so dark. The RF 24-105 goes from F4 to F7.1 that’s almost 2 stops darker. I feel like canon are using IBIS and image stabilisation on lenses as an excuse for this
@@jameo3606 They are relying on users being more confident with higher isos. While it is partially warranted for basic/amateur consumers, it still doesn't excuse 2 stops darker apertures from previous designs... thats a LOT of light :0
I don’t understand Canon R numbers. I love the cameras. But I would have thought the R7 would make the R50 a R70? And the R6 ought to make the R8 an R60?
Can you learn to shoot manually easily? Or is the R50 pretty much automatic only?
It has full manual
I have a feeling this will be the replacement for the M50 series.
GORDON.....Does the R50 shoot 10bit? how about the R10?
As far as I understand, Canon only records in 10 bit when you're using C-Log, BUT sadly this isn't available on the R50 or R10. It starts on the R7.

@@cameralabs I thought I could put full frame lens on R50 and battery grip do they make it for the R50?
@@myviews469 you've got a bit mixed up! You can put full frame or cropped lenses on the R50, but they need to be Canon RF lenses if you don't want to use an adapter.

An excellent informative review.
Thanks!
Without more RF-S lenses the R50 unfortunately just doesn’t make any sense. For just a few bucks more you can do the R8 with full frame and enjoy all of the full frame RF lenses.
You can of course mount any RF lens on the R50 as well, but it's a bit of a waste.
Why EF 50mm f/1.8 STM when there is RF f/1.8 STM
I think this camera goes well with RF 50mm f/1.8 and RF 24mm f/1.8 combo
True, but I mention the EF as the cheapest option, assuming of course you already have the EF to EOS R adapter.

Similar, so I'd base it on lenses and looks
The usual Canon marketing to attract diehard Canon local photography fans.
I'm glad I have made the move to Fujifilm. Still sticking to my mid range Canon R body and a few RF L lenses though.
If I owned the lower tier bodies like theCanon M50 or xxD bodies, I would have done a complete switch of camera systems by now. Canon has been uninspiring in their body and lens designs for APS-C cameras.
Such a pity in my country it is 850$. Does anyone recommend something cheaper like 500$ ? Which is not too old

Depends which body and controls you prefer

@@niwla202 the R10 has better controls

I like this camera, I would purchase it if I wasn't already in the Canon ecosystem. However, I would use it to make arty-pharty videos. It seems like overkill for vlogging and the 28-60 kit lens doesn't seem appropriate - a bit like the kit lens for the R50!
I wish theyd do small cameras with more mp, eveything should be 32-36mp minimum now...
They don't have many big cameras with that either
They need to lower it so it can still shoot videos in low light.

its funny how this APS c camera is better specced in every way to the Canon RP and costing less.
Smaller sensor doesn't mean inferior features! But more importantly it's a few years newer than the RP, so benefits from the latest image processor features.
@@cameralabs oh absolutely, it's great that are packing more features which is great all round.
Would imagine the 16mm lens that canon has is a great pairing
@@ionrage Yeah, it's still a tad too long for handheld vlogging with the 16 if you have digital stabilisation applied BUT hopefully there'll be some 10-16mm range lenses in the future.

Here the R50 is more expensive than R10. In my opinion, a DOA camera.
That said, in my opinion the R7 is worth the price jump for the battery alone.
If this had existed 6 months ago I would have bought it. I have the nikon 30 now, it's not worth it to sell and upgrade.

Instead of recommend EF50STM on APS-C body, I suggest EF 24mm f2.8 IS USM.

Bought it because it’s light. I’m pretty sick of carrying heavy cameras after using my mom’s camera.
Seeems like it’s better than the sony zv e10
And A6400
Só after 7 years Canon, offers the same 4k vídeo and 1080p, 120fps, finally, as the Sony a6300, released in 2016, with a fully articulated LCD. Bravo Canon. They finnaly catch up! Who wants this câmera? No 6k, nor 4k 60 at an affordable price!?? Still? No wonder amateur filmakers buy other gear, such as the Fuji h2. I feel offenfed by Canon.
So cute!
