Canon R50 - The New Entry Level King? 

Watching Hyun's Canon R50 video while I'm repairing a Minolta XE-7 film camera ... it just can't get any better.

3:05 remember when everyone complained the flip up screens were blocked by shotgun mics? At least you can cold mount a mic anywhere else, use a lav, etc. You can't work around the port blocking the screen and not have to use external audio. 😂 Thank you for this clip. 🙏

Man first of all, this was incredible! Second of all and something to think about is another reason to buy this camera. There is a USB-C port designed to have visibility on a computer (i.e. OBS) without the need for Canon webcam utility or a capture card. I would say that this put's it light years above other previous models since you remove a hardware failure point (capture card) as well as a software failure point (webcam utility). Otherwise this was so great man thanks again! ❤❤❤

I'd still choose the M6 II for the sigma lenses alone.

I liked the R-50 overall when I got it a few months ago - had to pass it on to a relative though and get another camera when I couldn't shoot night time landscape/stars (without moon or other artificial lighting around). The viewfinder/panel simply did not have the capacity to show the scene even with settings cranked to max. I would have to take several pre-shots - moving the camera on the tripod and guessing the correction for each shot until I got the composition I wanted. I then thought about getting the R-8 but the camera store basically said I couldn't make a return if it still ended up not being good enough. So because I saw a video on the 6400 of a guy shooting in the same lighting conditions and was showing the scene to be perceptable enough plus having a feature called brightness monitor to boost the display I decided to get the a6700 which since it's in the same series would have the same or better feature. It turns out I don't even need the brightness monitor on the a6700 as even at max settings I can still see the scene. Perhaps if I upgraded to the R-8 I would have similarly gotten a better lit viewfinder since both the R-8 and a 6700 are in higher category of camera compared to the R-50. Too bad, I generally like Canon cameras over Sony - though this new a6700 gives the impression of a quality built body and has been working out well so far with some good glass.

It is definitely entry level king,it offer a lot for beginners,ppl who keep complaining forgot that this is beginner camera🤦🏻‍♂️if you want more features and spec go buy a flagship camera

Liked the m50 and m6 but went for the r10 instead of the r50 as b-cam. A lil bit more money but far better specs for my needs. Using the rf24 f1.8 and rf 35mm on it which also would do a good job on the r50. As well enjoy the kit lens 18-150 quite a lot and it has actually pretty decent footage

What about the 50mm 1.8 lens?? What do you think!

Thanks! That was the best comparison yet, of the R50 vs the M50! Since I still have so many great EF-M lenses, I really wish Canon would have created the M50 Mark III with the R50's video specs and processor. Essentially, create the R50, the R10, and the R7, but offer them with the EF-M mount as well. The RF versions could be options for the full frame RF users; But, without alienating all of the EF-M camera owners. I don't think that would be too hard, or costly for them to do? Or, Canon could just allow third party autofocus lenses for the RF mount!

Thermal pad mod. 2mm thick directly on the 2 chips, 1mm on the back of the metal plate. Made it the whole hour with only 3 bars on the over heat sensor display

I'm happy you have time to make content

If you use an EF-S to RF adapter does autofocus work?

The crippled hot shoe & the single wheel is a deal killer for me. Switching back & forth between shutter & FStop seem nuts.

The problem I would have with this Camera is that you have no budget lenses to pair it with……

Amazing content. Thumbs up. Please make detailed video to use r50 features effectively

I currently have the R7 and use the m50 as my travel camera. The lens selection is so vast for the M50 it’s ridiculous compared to the RF mount 😭 I have two lenses for my R7 currently and that’s the sigma 18-35mm f1.8 (w/ an adapter ofc) and a TTartisans 24mm t1.05 (native). Switching to this RF mount has turned me towards manual lenses, which isn’t necessarily bad but autofocus as an option is so nice. I don’t think I’ll upgrade my M50 until it dies at this point 🤧🤚🏾

I liked your photography 👍

Hey, good video, would it be possible to make a canon eos r10 video? Tips and tricks, r10 tutorials for beginners or something related to the r10?

So you need to buy a large and expensive RF full-frame lens from Canon? For example a 24mm F2.8 if you want a 35mm full-frame equivalent prime lense. Will be difficult to convince people to leave the M-line.

Ive got bad news for you if you are expecting dozens of RF-S lenses, it won't happen. Most people put FF lenses on their crop body cameras for various reasons. Much better image quality, the longer focal length and the fact that the lens won't become useless if they upgrade to a FF camera. I always used to put an EF 50mm 1.8 on my crop sensor Rebel cameras. Why? Because I got an 85mm 1.8 for MUCH cheaper than actually buying an EF 85mm lens. The main problems with the R50 is that it's about $200 overpriced.

I'm hoping to buy a Canon R50 this year, and I plan to use it for video production - 4K, 30 Fps is more than enough for YT, and that's all I need it for. Now, I need advice about affordable lenses, just one lens, that is proper for vlogging and creating short art films. I hear that the lens makes a cinematic feel, even more than the camera, so I need your help here. What lens should I buy, if I could bud buy just one?

I have a Canon 80D that I use for real estate photography. However, I want to get into real estate videography in the coming year. Planning to exchange my 80d to R50 along with getting a Zhiyun gimbal. Can anybody help in letting me know if I am doing the right thing?

Where are the Canon EF-S prime lenses??

There is an ISO button on the SL1, SL2 and SL3 and probably some other rebels.

Thanks for the info. Too bad cannon doesn't have what go pro has on video. (1080/2.7k/4k) I have found that my camera doesn't heat up any more than on 1080 in the 2.7k mode but the clarity is still excellent. I use that setting out in the woods. The other thing is that there is a adapter enabling you to use the older AF/MF cannon lens on the R50 which I plan to do. Again thanks for the info.

I do know the canon 90D has a dedicated ISO button on the top of the camera

The autofocus seems pretty fast

I'm an r5 and r6 shooter. I thought about picking this up for fun as a lighter body for gimbal use. But the different type of batteries makes me not want to grab it

Have you tried time-lapse on the R50? I have an M50 ... but debating upgrading to an R10 for a few bucks more.

Nice camera but the speed light shoe give more problem . can't use universal speed light .need adapter and adapter is not easy to find

Excellent video 📹 Just get an adapter

I really wish the close up demo mode was just an autofocus setting and not a conepletly seperate video mode...

Hello! Can you transfer files from this camera to a phone via usb c connection? If you use a cable with two usb c ends, one connecting to the phone and one connecting to the camera. I do pictures in tourist areas and I print them on spot. I need to be really fast. My phone is conected through wifi to a printer. I need to transfer the photos to the phone via cable. Thank you!

There is lots clicks and pops in the audio. There seems to be a system latency issue with your PC, from where you recorded the voice over.

What lens should I consider buying for the R50 for my photography studies.

Buy the canon eos 550d it is a great camera from 2010 it is very good trust me.

How does it compare with the nikon z50. Is it better than the r50??

Why do ou not show 1080p 60fps? There are a lot of people who walk around with a camera and record handheld and don't need a pseudo cinematic look. Just waiting for smooth :(

I had the m50, got stolen last week :(, now im thinking getting the r50, wich btw is less expensive than the m50 back in the day... In mexico the m50 is still being sold at a higher price😅

Should I go for R50 or canon 90D..?

1) Does is have a 3.5mm port for an external microphone? 2) Can is shoot at 24fps/

Hey was was your mic glitching a alot thru the video?

This camera photographs can be taken

Which one is better for begginer and first camera sony zv e10 or canon R50?

Just get the RP. Enough said.

Canon or sony is better?

nice

Can’t you adapt from rfm to ef?

That hot shoe thing is so stupid.

Nise

The M50 gives us electronic shutter at the lowest price yet for Canon, which allows us to use an EF or RF long lens for events and get 1.6x silently. That's intriguing for me, especially if the sensor is as good as the 7D and 7D II with Canon L lenses (very good).

Typical Canon cripple the hotshoe. FFS Cripple hammer strikes again.

In a world where everyone wants smaller lenses and smaller cameras, Canon decides to go with the Huge RF mount. Genius 😂

Can't be king with that price

I can't believe some people are going to buy this. Just seems awful to use unless you're the type to just keep it in auto.
