    The Canon R50 is a great little camera! It’s lightweight, easy to use, and perfect for beginners or anyone wanting high-quality photos and videos without a lot of fuss. The 4K video is super sharp, and the autofocus works really well. I love how simple it is to transfer pictures with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The battery life isn’t the best, but for the price and features, it’s totally worth it. If you’re just getting into photography or want an upgrade, I’d definitely recommend this one!

    After the DSLR

    This camera is tiny and light. The kit lens adds almost no mass. It is easy to toss it in the bag and bring with you when you travel. It takes great photos and 4K videos, and it offers the flexibility and ultimate picture quality that a smartphone can’t match. I may or may not add additional lenses, depending on my future needs. This is a nice upgrade from my old DSLR. It may be a starter rig for some, but I have photography and video experience, and this camera meets my present needs quite nicely. I love the Canon colors and precise tracking autofocus.

    "Canon EOS R50: A Compact Powerhouse for Stunning

    Absolutely thrilled with the Canon EOS R50! As someone who’s always been passionate about photography but looking for a camera that’s both user-friendly and capable of delivering stunning results, the R50 has exceeded all my expectations. First off, the image quality is exceptional. The 24.2-megapixel sensor captures sharp, vibrant photos with impressive detail. Whether I'm shooting landscapes, portraits, or action shots, the colors are always true-to-life, and the clarity is spot-on. The autofocus system is another highlight. It’s incredibly fast and accurate, making it easy to get sharp shots even in challenging conditions. The Eye Detection AF is particularly impressive for portrait photography, ensuring that my subject's eyes are always in perfect focus. I also love the camera’s compact and lightweight design. It’s perfect for on-the-go shooting without sacrificing performance. The vari-angle touchscreen is a game-changer, allowing for creative angles and making it easy to navigate through settings and review images. The connectivity options are fantastic too. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth make transferring photos a breeze, and the built-in microphone offers great audio quality for videos. Overall, the Canon EOS R50 is a fantastic choice for both enthusiasts and those new to mirrorless cameras. It combines excellent image quality, user-friendly features, and a sleek design. Highly recommended for anyone looking to elevate their photography game!

    EOS R50 - Very Portable and Capable.

    Great Very Portable and capable. Be mindful of the crop factor if using this for video. A 35mm prime is almost a 50mm with the crop. I ended up getting a 16mm Prime to help make up for the crop factor (feels like 28mm). Also be mindful that if Enhanced Image Stabilization is also enabled, it crops it further so a 16mm is almost like a 35mm. Overall great camera. 4K video is nice. I also have an EOS R would and rather take this EOS R50 around its more compact and portable, easy to throw on the Gimbal and bag.

    I did my research, watched videos, read reviews and this brand canon vs others and my previous brand could not touch the beautiful resolution of the fotos or the quality of the camera. The simple and fast camera to phone transfer is amazing and fast, great and simple setting and amazing features.

    I’m absolutely obsessed with this camera! It serves my vlogging needs and my instagram pictures needs! Quality is amazing & instant transfer from camera to phone is seamless. Only downside is it overheats when recording & if recording in 4K it overheats until shut off for safety in 20min.

    Excellent mirrorless camera for how tiny it is. Put it in a Nauticam housing and it’s perfect for under water photography. State of the art autofocus and a huge upgrade from compact cameras for similar price. Great battery life.

    Great first time camera for photography/video. I believe that for the average person who just wants to pick up a camera and shoot, this is probably not for you. The best way to obtain the maximum abilities from this camera is by playing with its settings. With that being said if this is a hobby that you are actually considering putting time and effort into learning I believe there is no way to be disappointed with this product! At the end of the day, no one can tell you how to spend your money so if you’re also looking to just splurge. Go ahead!

    Honestly the Cannon R50 is amazing. I’ve used it for so many things in my small time of having it. It’s honestly easy to use and customize and if you need help just watch some YouTube on it. I definitely recommend this camera for anyone starting off with photography. The 4k video is amazing and the pictures are unbelievable.

    This camera is awesome. At this price point this is my favorite entry level camera. Settings are easy to learn, the autofocus works great. I have zero issues/complaints nearly 6 months into using the device. I highly recommend that if you purchase this camera you consider buying the 50mm f1.8 lens, all photos posted are using said lens.

    This has been an excellent purchase. I am not a professional photographer, but the pictures develope as if I was with this camera. I do recommend to watch a guide video to get the most out of this camera. I recommend this camera for anyone. I do recommend to get thw accident insurance because if does have a touch screen and that way it could be covered.

    I like this camera a lot. It has so many features that make picture and video taking easier. The moveable viewer screen is great especially for tripod use or star and moon exposures. It has a 2 and 4 times lens magnifier that really helps in a lot of situations where your attached lens could use some extra zoom. I really like the lens that came with it but if its not what you need then get the camera with no lens and get the one you need or want. Photo taken with the lens that came with then camera at 4 times magnifier.
