EOS R50 V Overview
Sensor and Videography
Canon’s EOS R50 V is their first mirrorless camera made especially for vlogging, and it is meant to rival Sony’s ZV-E10 II. Its overall dimensions are comparable to those of the PowerShot V1, however, it is slightly taller.
With the full sensor width and Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, this camera’s 24MP APS-C sensor allows users to capture super-sampled 4K video at 30 frames per second. Moreover, it can record 1080p at 120 frames per second or 4K video at 60 frames per second with cropping. Its continuous autofocus and burst rate of 12 fps with the first-curtain shutter or 15 fps with the electronic shutter make it an excellent choice for photographers as well. All things considered, this camera is an excellent option for both photographers and video producers.
There are numerous manual controls on the camera. It has a zoom rocker for compatible lenses and a primary control dial on top. Additionally, a mode dial with settings for Movie IS Mode, Slow/Fast Motion Recording, and Movie Auto Slow Shutter will be provided. The 3-inch completely articulating display will be especially useful for vloggers who want versatility when recording from various angles.
Connectivity and additional features
The EOS R50 V supports UVC/UAC, HDMI, Camera Connect, and Live Switcher Mobile multi-camera options. It also features a dedicated button that enables instant livestreaming in four distinct modes.
Additionally, the camera has an LP-E17 battery and a single UHS-II card slot. Additionally, it has a number of practical connectors, such as USB-C, microHDMI, a headphone, and a microphone. It is compatible with all Canon RF lenses, including the recently released RF-S14-30mm F4-6.3 IS STM PZ lens, the first RF-S lens with power zoom capabilities, because it uses Canon’s RF-mount . For artists who require fluid zoom capabilities during shoots, this greatly expands their options.
When using the new 14-30mm lens (which has a full-frame equivalent focal length of 21-45mm), the camera weighs a little more. The R50 V has vlogger-specific features including focus breathing correction and a product presentation function. Features like face and eye detection and subject tracking for people, animals, and cars are all part of the camera’s Dual Pixel II autofocus system. Focusing is now easier than ever thanks to these capabilities, even when rapidly flipping between topics.
Canon EOS R50V Availability and Price in India
The body-only Canon EOS R50V costs $650, while the RF-S14-30mm F4-6.3 IS STM PZ lens costs $850. The EOS R50V should start at about INR 55,000 if it will arrives in India.
