Definitely what I was looking for. I still got alot to learn but I feel this R50 is gonna help get where I want.

As the other reviews state. This the the Best Mirrorless Camera you can buy for beginners. I am a beginner. There is a plenty to learn before move on from the auto mode to manual mode. The auto is great.

This was a gift for my son he graduated from college he was happy about it.

the best camera for beginners, excellent price benefit ratio.

It was easy use and set- up. A little problem with the Blue tooth but it turned out ok. Bought it for me trip to the Philippines on December

Great camera, but the 18-45mm kit lens leaves much to be desired. I ended up using only other lenses I bought separately.

I love it easy work nice quality and it’s every good for beginner

My first ever camera and I must say it’s simple to understand and

Works but it could be better quality of the lens, more zoom

I’m really enjoying my Canon EOS R50 Mirrorless camera, and it is an excellent addition to my camera bag. I’ve used it for about 2 weeks now and compared to my more expensive larger camera this one holds it ground really well. Mine came with a RF-S 18-45mm lens, rechargeable battery, charger, and carrying strap. It has a built-in microphone and flash. The set up of this camera was so easy and with the app I was able breeze right through the setup. Connecting the lens was straight forward with the red lines placed on the body of the camera and lens. The strap was easy to install and with such a light body I’m able to comfortably wear the camera for an extended period of time. The SD card is installed in the same compartment as the battery. About the app, I have thoroughly enjoyed being able to upload pictures directly to my phone and share them on the spot. With the Canon app I can also use my phone as a way to take the picture so it makes family portraits easy to pose for. I can change the camera settings, print photos and edit raw images as well. This app is a great addition to an excellent camera. Photos come out amazing with this camera. The resolution that photos are taken with this Canon allows for detailed editing of photos. Even when cropped in real tight on a photo you don’t get the pixilation that many cameras have. It shoots really fast, so I easily capture crisp images of fast-moving objects. So, to put that in terms of photography, this camera has great shutter speed. The autofocus works flawlessly and when paired with the installed sensor makes the perfect combination. The Video feature is second to none and combined with the ability to shoot in 4k resolution I have no use for any other camera for videos. I have video waves crashing on the beach, planes flying over head and cars passing by at high rates of speed and there’s no blur at all. With the ability to zoom in and out during filming makes it so easy to look professional. To sum it up this is a great little camera with the power of much larger and more expensive cameras. I use this as a daily shooter and have found myself bring this one as a standalone. I definitely recommend the Canon EOS R50 from the Novice shooter to the professional. This is a great addition to any camera bag and the provided lens makes this a great camera for all occasions. You can’t go wrong with this one.

The Canon EOS R50 is my first Canon mirrorless camera, I am back to the Canon brand after a few years of hiatus, and I am very pleased with this device. This camera has a myriad of options for photo and video shooting that fit most if not all my needs. I find that the Auto mode (A+) is sufficient for most scenarios, it is very convenient if you are in a rush and don’t have time to choose a specific shooting mode or to configure settings as it can take more than decent pictures and videos. It is easy to connect to a smartphone to control or transfer and share files. Overall, besides being a great photo camera, I think it is a perfect device for content creation and sharing. - Pros: lightweight body, multiple options for content creation, optical and electronic viewfinders, flash. - Cons: none so far. >> Video << This camera has options to record video (with audio) in 4K at 30fps and FHD at 60fps max, it also includes settings to shoot lower fps for 4K and FHD formats. You could do FHD at 120fps, but no audio is recorded in that mode. Video shotting modes include Close-Up demo mode, IS mode, HDR, among other modes. There are a good number of configurations to choose and try from. From my experience, recording 4K video at 30fps is more suitable in instances where the subjects don’t move too fast and where you don’t move the camera too much while operating it. It takes some practice to get the right videos that look decently smooth at 4K (or just use a tripod for better results.) The one ideal setting I found for this camera is shooting yourself describing/explaining something; in fact, with its Close-Up Demo mode the Canon R50 looks like it will perfectly suit the needs of vloggers. >> Photos << I was expecting this Camera to excel in this department, and it did. There are multiple predefined options to choose from and you can also manually configure the different parameters. The “default” Auto mode serves well most of the time, and you can still make some adjustments under this mode by tapping on the options available in the OLED touch screen (the electronic viewfinder); for example, increase /decrease the brightness, blur the background and others. Very easy to use. One other set of options I found very useful is the Special Scenes. For example, you can choose Portrait Scene and Sports Scene to get great pictures for still subjects and subjects that move fast, to name two options. One Scene option that I have yet to get good results from is the Panorama Scene, which so far has produced blurred panoramas for me (I just realized the blurred images when I was copying them to my PC.) One other set of options to highlight is the Filter Options which I have used to create unique images. Two settings I liked a lot were the HDR Art Vivid and Water Painting ones. For HDR Art Vivid, the subjects in the pictures looked enhanced, and the Water Painting filter gave me an awesome set of pictures that looked very artistic. I guess I could have used some editing software to get similar results, but the quality and look of the images coming out of the Canon R50 are just great. >> Optical Viewfinder << In addition to the OLED Electronic Viewfinder, this camera is equipped with an Optical viewfinder, which is a must for any camera I’d say. I have another non-Canon mirrorless camera that doesn’t have an optical viewfinder, only an electronic one, and it is a real pain to take pictures on sunny days since the mini screen is almost impossible to see under such conditions. >> Battery << Upon receiving the camera, the first thing I did was to buy an extra battery since we were going to attend a big event and didn’t want to risk running out of battery. At the end, I didn’t need to use the extra battery as the fully charged one I started with lasted fine throughout the event. I took dozens of photos and several video recordings, and I still had plenty of battery left (!). I was very surprised, given previous experiences with other camera brands and their batteries (or their need for power.) So, a big plus for this Canon camera (or the Canon battery for that matter.) According to specs battery should last about an hour when video recording at 4K, hence great performance for a camera this size. >> Connectivity << With the Canon Camera Connect app on my phone, I could connect to the Canon R50, and I was able to control it, take pictures, record videos, review the images on the camera and transfer them, have a live view of what the camera sees and control settings on my camera. Very handy indeed. That being said, a couple of times I lost connection to the camera and couldn’t connect with my phone. I cannot really pinpoint the exact circumstances that lead to this loss of connectivity, but it is a little annoying once it happens. >> Lenses << While the RF-S 18-45mm lenses that comes in the package looks sufficient if you take pictures and video record yourself producing some social media content, you’d still want to add some telephoto capabilities and perhaps some macro and wide angle (well, in my case I do see the need for adding them.) This means that, although you won’t break the bank with the initial body and lens configuration, you’ll be spending quite a bit of money once you start adding a couple of other lenses to the picture. At the very minimum, I’d want to add a medium range telephoto lens. Now, with the current Canon lenses offering, it is not possible to cover the whole range without overlapping lenses. Let’s say you have the 18-45mm lens and want something from 45mm to a higher, let’s say 210mm telephoto lens, well you won’t find a 45-210mm lens. The closest lens that you’ll get is a 55-210 mm. So, that means to cover the 45-55mm range, you’d need some other additional lens, or perhaps just buy a 50mm lens and call it the day. In summary, I am finding myself spending more money than intended trying to get a decent set of lenses for this camera, and I am not specifically talking about buying L series high quality lenses, which will cost a fortune. >> Overheating << While being outdoors in a Los Angeles sunny day at around 87F, with some of the sun hitting the camera directly, I saw the opportunity to take pictures, so I turned the camera on and soon after I was welcomed and surprised with an “Overheated” error message and the camera shutting down. I was expecting for this camera to endure more dire conditions, but it looks like it doesn’t. The operating temperature range is stated to be between 32-104F, which limits this camera to be used outdoors in the desert, for example, or in icy conditions. I suspect the direct sunlight on the black body might have caused the internal temperature to go above the 104F limit. I don’t intend or retrying the “experiment”, though. Anyways, lesson learned, keep it away from prolonged exposure to direct sun (well to be honest, I am not sure how long the sun was hitting the camera directly.)

Out of the box you have almost everything you need to get started ( you will need your own memory card ). Setup was easy and flawless, due to QR codes included in the instructions in the box, and as you go through the setup in the camera. You will be directed to the Google play store, or Apple App Store. I opted to get started using Bluetooth, although also equipped with Wifi capabilities, and my phone and new camera were paired instantly. In the box you get the lens, camera, battery pack and connector, along with a camera strap. First charge took about 2 hours to complete. The indicator lights up green when fully charged, so you never have to question it. This Canon is truly jam packed with features. Being able to auto upload your work without having to take the memory card out is a great feature. I was also able to upload my content quickly, and effortlessly. The quality and the lens is so crisp, and it allows you to focus on even the smallest details. Pretty lightweight, easy to carry, the ability to create high quality 4K content, vibrant screen quality you can’t ask for more. Even good for beginners
