CanonEOS R50 V Mirrorless Camera with RF-S14-30mm F4-6.3 is STM PZ Lens, APS-C Sensor, 24.2 Megapixels, Ultra-Wide Zoom, Fast Autofocus, Vlogging and Live Streaming Kit for Content Creators, Black

First things first, this is a less than $700 camera body. Let's talk about the features we are getting that you normally only see at double the price when buying new. First, video centric features such as 10bit 4:2:2 clog3 recording that can record up to 2 hrs continuously. What about overheating? The Canon R50V has that covered too with an internal fan that can be set in the menu to a high temp limit. My first long form shoot with this was a concert on a tripod that was 1hr 45min straight in 90 degree heat in direct sunlight, and the R50V didn't flintch even at 4k 23.98fps 10bit 422 clog3 and left me with a 95gb file. This concert started in bright light but the sun went down and one of the biggest concerns I had with this camera was no dual native iso, but it's APS-C sensor still was able to have detail even in a dimmer setting, mind you not extremely low light conditions which the camera cannot handle but I wouldn't expect a $700 to perform like a full frame in that regard. The form factor is very small and the body feels light in your hands. The body is plastic but still feels durable and I am confident to bring it with me on various gigs. Now the biggest drawback to this is the digital stabilization which is my opinion sacrifices some of the sharpness this sensor is capable of, but it's not a deal breaker. This camera being light allowed me to put my extra bulky Sigma 18-55mm f1.8 EF on it with and EF-RF adapter and still use it on a gimbal with a rated weight capacity of 4lbs, this not needing the digital stabilization and getting the most out of the sensor. Finally, while this is video centric, I could see canon release a USC C EVF for those who want to occasionally use it for photos but as an option, this would make this camera a hybrid killer in a video centric world.

Has lots of features for video. It is a crop frame, but it serves my video needs. I have a full-frame camera for photography. This is lightweight, very versatile, and portable. There is no IBIS, but it does have digital stabilization. The DS makes the images a bit more fluid, but not as good as a stabilizer. I have a 3-axis gimbal, so the lack of stabilization is not a big issue for me. Overall, its a great addition for content creators videos.

This is a video beast for the money. In right hands with correct video post processing software, it's unbelievable. Definitely get a gimbal and learn the basics on video to record smooth and correctly exposed videos, rest is all post production.

Love everything about this camera. Just wish it had a viewfinder!!

Good quality videos.Runs through batteriesStarts to over heat inside the house at 72° within 30min of video, i can only imagine it get up to temperature faster out in the sun.Still overall a great camera.

I am a professional news videographer, and an avid still photographer. This means of course I own a lot of cameras. Most of them are rather large and while great to use for they are not easy to carry all the time. I almost purchased a standard EOS R 50 and then looked carefully at this. I wanted something I could shoot 4K with as well as quick stills. I am really pleased that I chose the V variant. Like any good mirrorless camera it can be as simple or as complicated to use as you want it to be. The build is tight and precise. Picture quality is what you expect from a sensor of this size which is pretty good. It shares the same battery with several other Canon mirrorless cameras (LP-E17) which is a big plus for me, I didn’t need to purchase extra ones. The ability to switch from horizontal to vertical quickly is another plus and the fun surprise is the motorized zoom lens! It’s a wide angle but functional length and Canon promises more versions to come. Easy to carry like I wanted and fun to use like I hoped. If you are a vlogger you will love it, and for overall quick and dirty shooting it’s a good choice as well. I do recommend it.

I really love this camera but after 20 minutes of recording in 4K the heat sensor goes off. For short videos and photos it’d be a great camera but not for longer videos. I was in the air conditioning while filming too.

Great camera. Video focused but I’m using it heavily for stills and it does fine. Obviously troublesome in bright sunlight without an EVF, but still quite happy with it.My others body is an EOS RP, definitely a nice unit as well but definitely feeling dated now that I have the R50 V.
