It takes bright pictures Not heavy Very easy to handle

The camera is everything I needed for a beginner. I bought and gave this camera to my wife who wanted to do what I do, but she did not feel comfortable with my professional cameras. This is lightweight, has all the options for a beginner, and can even be upgraded to reach professional level quality with the addition of lenses a top mounted flash. Overall great quality! Be sure to get a camera bag for it!

I recently got to review the Canon EOS R50 and I have to say that it is one of the best cameras I have ever owned. The R50 is a fantastic camera for both beginners and experience content creators alike. Setting it up was simple thanks to the Canon Connect App that makes transferring content from the camera to your smart device and controlling the camera from your smart device extremely easy. You can also use your smart device as an external monitor which is extremely helpful for remote shooting scenarios. The camera body itself is lightweight yet solid, providing excellent ergonomics and featuring controls that are easy to access and operate (albeit simpler controls to a higher end camera). It has a good selection of ports for connecting external accessories such as microphones or flash units. In addition, the R50 offers several features that make shooting more productive and enjoyable such as Eye Detection AF, Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, 4K video recording at 30 fps (oversampled from 6k), Full-HD high-frame rate movie recording up to 120fps, 12 fps Electronic First Curtain (15 fps Electronic Shutter Continuous Shooting), HDR Movie Mode and more. The image quality is outstanding – with the 24.2-megapixel APS-C size CMOS sensor and DIGIC X image processor, photos taken with the camera are incredibly sharp and detailed, even in low light. The autofocus system is incredibly fast and accurate (up to 651 automatically selected AF zones during Whole Area AF), making it a great choice for action photography and portraits. With automatic subject detection and tracking, keeping your subjects in focus is very easy. The digital viewfinder (OLED, 2.36 million dots) is bright and clear, making composing shots or tracking a subject much easier than with an optical viewfinder. The 3.0 inch, 1.62 million dot Clear View LCD touchscreen makes it incredibly easy to compose and shoot from almost any angle. It’s easy to changes settings and you can use the touchscreen to quickly define or move the autofocus point. Overall, I would highly recommend the Canon EOS R50 to anyone looking for a high-quality camera that can capture beautiful stills and videos without breaking the bank. With its excellent build quality, fast autofocus system and advanced features, it's sure to please photographers of all levels. This is a fantastic camera for anyone from a beginner hobbyist to seasoned professional that needs an extremely compact, lightweight camera for their varying needs.

I was a little intimidated by this when I opened it up. This thing feels expensive and so solidly built. The packaging was super nice and everything felt really secure. I love the cover for the camera and the lens so everything is secure when it's not in use. I don't feel as nervous that I'll scratch anything or damage it since the delicate parts are all protected. I was pleasantly surprised to see the screen was a touch screen as I have something similar from another brand without that feature. Set up was super easy and the app connected pretty quickly as well. I love that you have the ability to share the pictures straight to your phone vs. having to plug it into the computer every time. I like the size of the screen on the back for reviewing pictures on the fly. The automatic mode seems to be the thing I'll use most as it figures out how best to take the picture in front of the screen. I used this for random pictures of my kids and things outside as well as for my business. I rely on whatever camera I'm using to be able to pick up small details and this camera does amazingly well with that. I've been having fun seeing what the automatic mode can do and love that it reminds you to open the flash if you have mixed lighting to make sure your pictures are properly lit. This did really well with action shots as well and previous camera's I've had struggled with that. I was able to get some amazing pictures of my kids running and playing sports. I'd highly recommend this to anyone looking to go above and beyond what your smartphone camera can offer and was really pleased with everything that came included for the price. If you want something built well and that should last you won't be disappointed with this camera.

The image is incredibly sharp, with true-to-life colors and excellent balance. Even in low light, it performs really well—minimal noise and solid focus. The autofocus is fast and accurate, which makes a big difference for both video and action shots. It records in high resolution, making it perfect for professional content or social media. Honestly, it’s a high-quality camera that I’d 100% recommend.

This is my first camera that I have owned and it's safe to say this is what you want right now for beginners. Very easy to navigate, nice and compact design, and all around great product. Great pictures, great video, just great.

Super simple to use. Great camera for beginner or someone more advanced. The ability to shoot great pictures and great video is a bonus.

I received my first camera many years ago. It was a Canon AE-1 I received as a college graduation gift. As the years went by my trusty camera allowed me to show my creative side. Over time, my career and family obligations put an end to that hobby. Until I retired went to Best Buy I found my new Canon Camera. Excellent design. Reasonably lightweight. Makes taking great pictures very easy. Great price point. Once again I can see the world through my wonderful camera taking beautiful pictures. I can tap in again to my creative side.

Th camera is really good and clear very happy with it

Great camera for photo and video. In my opinion I would just buy the body and then invest the money saved into a prime lease since that’s what’s truly important rather than the camera itself. Bigger aperture, clarity, image balance and stability, colors and over all quality of the image. The camera is very pretty, it’s not heavy, pretty good battery and easy setting and custom settings.

Works well for a beginner like me. It is light, compact and easy to use.

Great camera with clear pictures and easy to use buttons

Wonderful Camera, takes wonderful photos and easy to use!

The camera takes really good quality pictures. Sometimes the flash can wash you out.

I am new to photography and was looking for something that would last and be easy to use for my family and I to capture our memories. This camera so far has been a great fit.

I like the small build and the easy to use controls and the flexible screen. Looking forward to adding lenses.

The Canon R50 exceeds expectations with its impressive image quality and user-friendly interface. Its 4K video capabilities and compact design make it a standout choice for both enthusiasts and beginners.
