Canon EOS R50 review: compact, capable but lacking for lenses

The Canon EOS R50 is a compact mirrorless camera designed to appeal to users looking for something more than a smartphone. It's based around a 24 Megapixel APS-C sensor and Canon's latest 'RF' lens mount.


Key features:

  • 24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor with second-generation Dual Pixel AF
  • Burst shooting at up to 15fps in full e-shutter mode (12 in electronic first curtain)
  • 4K video up to 30p with no crop
  • 10-bit HDR video and HEIF images
  • 2.36M dot OLED viewfinder
  • 1.62M dot fully articulating touchscreen
  • External mic input
  • Close-up and vertical video modes
  • Live streaming and webcam capability

The EOS R50 is Canon's second-cheapest RF-mount camera, sitting above the EOS R100 and below the EOS R10. The R50 is priced at $679.99, body-only. A kit with the retractable RF-S 18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM sells for around $799.99, and a two-lens kit that adds a new 55-210mm F5.0-7.1 takes the MSRP up to $1029.99.
