Canon EOS R50

The Canon EOS R50 follows the design principles of the EOS M50 Mark II and EOS 250D compact interchangeable lens cameras, primarily their compact and lightweight construction, while incorporating the newer RF lens mount system and other features from previously released EOS R series cameras. The camera fits the internals of Canon's previously released EOS R10 into a form factor better suited for vlogging and travel. == Features ==

The R50 includes many features from the more expensive EOS R10, including its 24.2-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, DIGIC X processor, Dual Pixel CMOS AF II focus system, and 2.36-million-dot OLED electronic viewfinder, though the physical controls have been simplified to fit the R50's role as a camera for beginner photographers. Additionally, features such as a fully mechanical shutter, sensor self-cleaning, and in-body image stabilization were not included, though the R50 can utilize in-lens stabilization. The R50 includes a fully-articulating 1.62-million-dot LCD touchscreen along with its electronic viewfinder, a built-in stereo microphone and a 3.5mm audio jack for use with an external microphone, a UHS-I capable SD card slot, and built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. == Reception ==

The EOS R50 received generally positive reviews upon its launch. Engadget awarded the R50 a score of 87/100 and found it to be "a good balance between power and affordability". Digital Photography Review gave the camera a score of 84%, noting its high-quality photo and video capture and its "impressive" autofocus system while deducting points for a lack of available RF-mount APS-C lenses. Some reviewers were more critical in their reception of the R50, chiefly due to ergonomics and controls. TechRadar gave the camera 3.5 stars and described it as "affordable, but limited" due to its lack of physical controls when compared to the EOS R10. PCMag came to a similar conclusion in its review, where it also gave the R50 3.5 stars and noted that the small size of the camera made it difficult to hold comfortably. == Variants ==

On , Canon announced the EOS R50 V, a vlogging-focused variant of the R50. The R50 V loses the R50's built-in flash and electronic viewfinder, but gains improved video recording capabilities, improved wired and wireless connectivity, and more video-focused physical and digital controls, especially the capability to shoot in Canon Log Clog3. == See also ==
