Customer Ratings & Reviews

I picked up the Canon EOS R50 Mirrorless Camera with RF-S18-45mm Lens, and it’s been such a good buy. The 4K video quality is super sharp, and the autofocus is fast and reliable, which makes a big difference for videos and photos. It’s also lightweight and easy to carry, and the flip screen is perfect for vlogging or taking pictures at different angles. The kit lens is versatile enough for everyday use, too. Overall, it’s a great mirrorless camera for beginners, easy to use, but it still gives really high-quality results.

Wow im in love with camera.It is an ideal camera for both beginners and professionals. The image quality is perfect, featuring colors that render the image exactly as it is. Whether you are thinking about getting into photography—like me—or are already a professional, I recommend it 100%. It is easy to use. I love it.

It has been a while since the last time I had a real camera in my hand. This Canon is a big improvement since my last (film) Canon I had, many years ago. I am actually surprised and amazed with the capabilities of this relatively small device. Photos are coming good from the first try. The lens mechanical focus has been replaced with digital focus. Canon won't let you take a photo (in auto mode) unless it is a good quality one. It has a lot of good tools that guarantee your professionalism. They used to say it is 20% the camera and 80% the camera man (or woman)... I believe it is the opposit. Battery life is amazing. I was skeptical and planning to buy an extra battery. Then, I took it into a long day photos and videos (some 4K) and the battery just did very well. It took a long time to charge the first time though... The power management is incredible. Also, this R50 has what is much needed: A way to synchronize to phone or tablet. It allows you to transfer the photos and videos to your phone or tablet for immediate review, changes and also to keep camera's memory free. I was surprised that synchronization carried on even when the camera was turned off and in the bag. Cannon app is very powerful. Worked well with iOS and Android (new phones mostly). I have a relatively old phone that camera couldn't connect to through the wifi. It started fine over BT but then when switching to WiFi, the phone was lost in loops. Newer phones didn't have any issues. iOS phones and iPad worked very well. The camera has a micro HDMI connector on the side that allows to mirror all what is on the screen, a USB-C connector allowing super fast access to the memory but honestly with the fast wireless transfer, who need it? It is good to have any way. 4K video recording is also something impressive. I am using a 32Gb micro SD card and it allows the recording of 10 mins only. Even though Canon somewhere warns about the overheating while taking a 4K video, I didn't notice any over usual temperature. The app is straight forward, it gives you all what you need in one spot. Away from any unnecessary complications... EOS R50 is coming wiht 18-45 lens. It is ok for most photo shoots... I am planning to get an RF-S 55-210mm telephoto lens. Like the one I had with my vintage Canon. While I am trying not to get too technical in my review, it is worth mentioning that the fps rating (12fps) is amazing. Allowing to have very nice pictures no matter what. I recommend getting it for beginners or for anyone trying to get a nice picture without taking too much efforts (by using auto mode) and it will save time editing the photos on the computer. Photos captured came out nice and almost ready to be used.

Overall The Canon R50 is a capable, light, and easy to use camera system. If all your prior knowledge of cameras was that from a smartphone, this one will make you feel right at home with plenty of room to grow. The auto Ai function will take care of everything for you with a single tap on the screen for picking a base mode. The resulting images are great with little to no post processing needed for an excellent shot. The touch display is bright and handles well in any environment, I've yet to have issues with it. The hood flash is plenty bright for well lit shots of people or objects. The camera being small is cramped and has a narrow grip that makes it harder to hold for me. The button layout leaves something to be desired, at least the directional keys and center button. I frequently press down when aiming for the set/OK key.  Software Canon cameras are packed with software for just about everything. From editing, remote operation, and transfer; both desktop and smartphone. The remote app doubles as the transfer app to import images from your camera. I do need to add that the CameraConnect app never connected with my Android device. I only managed to get it paired with an iPhone XR. They also include 30 days of rolling cloud storage and 10gb of long term storage. Rolling storage doesn't count toward the 10gb.  Features The touch screen display is bright, responsive and sharp. It flips out, rotates and folds back in. It allows for selfie shots by flipping the screen out and facing it toward you. Folding it back in gives you a larger screen other than the viewfinder. There's a sensor in the viewfinder that disables the display while it picks you up, whether your hand reaching across or your eye looking in. IS (Image stabilization) removes a lot of handshake from your shots. There's 2 modes, standard and enhanced. Battery life is adequate getting up to 2 days of sporadic use.  Considerations Only 1 control dial, this felt odd when first holding the camera but got used to it within the hour. If you're a novice, you may not care or understand this point. Recording 4K, and other modes, prompts a potential overheating/shutoff warning. Small frame, short grip. If you have large hands you may find handling the camera a little troublesome. Compact top buttons add to this. Peripheral ports are on opposing ends. HDMI and USB on one side, mic on the opposite. This one really depends on the type of equipment you have or plan to use with it. Conclusion At the end of the day, this is a fantastic camera. It's light, feature packed, and takes great shots. The positives outweigh any of my negative remarks. This is worth 5-stars.

The Canon EOS R50 is a compact mirrorless camera that delivers impressive performance in a beginner-friendly design. Its 24.2-megapixel APS-C sensor produces sharp images with natural colors, making it ideal for everyday photography, portraits, and travel. One of the camera’s standout features is its fast and reliable autofocus. Canon’s Dual Pixel autofocus tracks faces and eyes accurately, helping users capture clear, professional-looking shots with minimal effort. The EOS R50 also records high-quality 4K video, making it a great option for content creators and vloggers. Lightweight and easy to use, the EOS R50 is perfect for anyone upgrading from a smartphone or starting their photography journey. Overall, it offers excellent image quality, strong video performance, and great value in a small, modern camera.

UNBOXING: I’ve got the Canon EOS R50 with RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM Lens. The packaging is lightweight, which was surprising for me as someone who had only worked with a larger DSLR before. Inside the box you’ll find the EOS R50 body, the kit lens, protective caps for the body and lens, the removable battery and charger, and a neck strap that you can attach to the body. BUILD: The first thing I noticed about the EOS R50 body was how compact it was. I didn’t really have any expectations upon its arrival, but just holding it was satisfying. The body is lightweight, but the outer plastic feels sturdy and the rubberized textured grip gives you confidence that it won’t accidentally slip out of your hand. The battery compartment is easy to lock and unlock, and fitting the R50 with the battery or an SD card delivers a tactile click and a sense of security. The physical controls on the R50 also feel sturdy and confident—I don’t have any concern about accidentally turning a dial or pressing a button. The controls require intention to engage, and I feel that’s often underappreciated. Working with mushy physical controls could really lead to accidental triggers, but I have no worry about that with the R50. Additionally, the touch screen can articulate out so you can take pictures or video of yourself while monitoring the feed. The included lens itself clicks tightly onto the body and delivers a tactile click when you set it to 18mm. PHOTO: As a content creator and reviewer, when I’m taking pictures of products, I want the process to be simple. I want to be able to reliably engage the autofocus, and take images that are sharp and deliver a pleasant bokeh with minimal noise. While I haven’t been able to test every single setting on the R50, I will say that if you prefer manual modes, then you can certainly dial in your aperture, ISO and shutter speed as you wish to achieve the best possible shot across a wide variety of scenarios. But if you like to keep things simple, then there are plenty of photo modes that can help you take great pictures without too much effort. In my experience with the R50, it takes sharp in-focus images and is able to provide a pleasant bokeh which you can certainly dial in if you’re comfortable controlling the aperture. If you’re opting for the bundle with the kit lens, then it’s important to note that the included lens does not have optical image stabilization, and the camera body uses only digital image stabilization. There are RF mount lenses with optical image stabilization if you are planning to use the R50 by hand and without a gimbal or tripod, but I did find it took sharp images without external gear as long as you have a reasonably steady hand. VIDEO: Video seems to be one of the bigger improvements of the EOS R50 compared to the M50 mk II, and the aspect which I find myself most excited about. At its very best, the R50 can record 6K content and downsample the footage to 2160p30, and which delivers a very crisp image with very low noise under proper lighting conditions. It can also record 1080p120 for slow motion content, but audio isn’t recorded in this mode. My favorite feature, however, has to be the close-up demo mode that is great for product reviews, makeup tutorials, or any other style of content where you may need to show a close-up of a product at times. I’ve tried it on numerous items of varying sizes, textures and colors and found that the autofocus was very responsive and was able to quickly latch onto whatever object I put in front of the lens. And as soon as I removed the object from the view, the autofocus quickly latched back onto the main subject. One shortcoming for the video is the lack of optical image stabilization on the body or the kit lens. If you are recording video with a lot of movement and without a gimbal or other hardware for stabilization, then you may see some correction artifacts from the digital stabilization trying to correct for the lack of optical stabilization. So for sports or other high-movement purposes (e.g. even walking while filming), I’d still recommend looking into a lens with OIS or a gimbal. You can enable Enhanced Image stabilization in the settings to further compensate for erratic movement, but I found the footage to feel a bit more artificial and overly processed, and even it felt that way while actively recording as well. AUDIO: The built-in microphones are also surprisingly decent. While they might not be able to withstand rushes of wind, they were able to capture clear audio that I felt would be reasonably good for folks who don’t yet want to commit to additional audio gear. That being said, if you can, I’d still recommend upgrading to a shotgun microphone that you can mount to the hot shoe since there are so many great affordable options on the market. APP: The Canon Connect Mobile app has its ups and downs while over Bluetooth/Wi-Fi. Overall, transferring images and video from the camera to your phone or tablet over Wi-Fi is a slower process than I might like. You open the app, register the device, and as long as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled on both the R50 and your device, discovery should be straight-forward. By default, you’ll receive compressed video and images since this is significantly faster than transferring the content at original size. But you are welcome to enable importing original size content in the app settings. You can import RAW images, although you’ll need software that will be able to open the files. If you choose to import compressed video, then your 4K or 1080p120 video will be downscaled to 1080p30 at best. I honestly don’t recommend importing original size video content this way because it can take quite a bit of time to transfer. However, you can also connect via USB and import content that way (for lightning-enabled Apple devices, you’ll need the Camera adapter). Comparatively, importing content over USB is significantly more responsive and I would recommend it if you intend to import original size content. I also really enjoyed the remote live view feature that gives you a live video feed access to some of the controls. This feature is okay in wireless mode, but the latency isn’t particularly great if you’re looking for responsiveness. But if you can hook it up wired like I did, it is super responsive and latency is a non-issue. I found this was especially valuable for using my iPad as an even larger viewfinder. WEBCAM: Another feature I found was interesting was that you could hook the R50 up to your computer via USB and turn on the video streaming/call feature under the USB options in the menu options. This turns your R50 into a glorified webcam. This could make it a great option for creators who do video streams, since they can purchase a dummy battery connected to AC power. However, output is limited to 1080p30 SDR in this mode, so if you have a much more advanced setup and want 2160p output, you may have to use the Micro HDMI output with a capable capture card. That being said, you may have to disable various power-saving settings to ensure optimal performance for this strategy to be effective. CONCLUSION: Overall, I think the Canon EOS R50 is a good camera that could fit the needs of many creators. If you’re looking for a camera with a compact body that is good for both stills and video, then the R50 is a solid option—especially if you already have RF lenses with optical image stabilization. But if you’re looking to get into vlogging, or intend to record video without a tripod or gimbal, there are better mirrorless options on the market that will have very similar features with better image stabilization. In the end, there are a ton of features to compare across many brands. The EOS R50 is going to meet my limited needs as a video-oriented content creator who doesn’t have frequent camera movement. And while it may work well for me, the features I prioritize may not be the ones most important to you.

Very useful when traveling on the road and taking selfies of my wife and me from a distance. Performance & Handling: The camera feels solid in the hand, with intuitive controls and a comfortable grip. Image quality is impressive, with sharp details and vibrant colors, whether shooting landscapes, portraits, or casual travel moments. Verdict: If you’re moving on from an older DSLR like the Rebel T6i, the EOS R50 is a great upgrade. Between the stellar autofocus, excellent image quality, and handy phone connectivity, it’s perfect for travel, family photos, and everyday shooting.

I am new to photography and I have been able to take beautiful portraits with this camera. I am About to upgrade my lenses to get sharper shot , but it’s perfect for beginners!

This is loaded with features you would find in much higher priced cameras. Mirrorless is the way of the future capturing beautiful images for both still and video. My Vlogging looks wonderful and was compiled easily using the abilities and features of the EOS 50. There are different modes that make video a breeze — such as the close-up demo mode for example — which seamlessly switches focus when a product is brought close to the camera. You can also film slow-motion at a high frame rate of 120 fps in full HD. For photos, sure your smartphone is always with you and today can take some really amazing shots, but most will still pale in comparison to anything that you capture on the Canon-EOS R50 Mirrorless Camera. Its had a24.2 Megapixel (APS-C) CMOS Sensor and is equipped with a 24.2-million-pixel CMOS (APS-C) image sensor and DIGIC X Image Processor, the EOS R50 camera will snap up images and videos with reduced noise, with clear, detailed results even in low light. Images look beautiful even when enlarged, with natural bokeh that smartphones can't offer. All in all it is a wonderful mid priced upper entry level Video/Still shot camera with a very nice beginners lens that will give you many hours of fun capturing photos and videos for all of your social media platforms as well as any printed enlargements you want to make for yourself or friends or possibly to sell.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Impressive Quality and Performance! I recently purchased this camera and it completely exceeded my expectations. The image quality is outstanding, both for photos and videos. Colors are crisp, the autofocus is fast and accurate, and the low-light performance is better than I expected for this price range. On top of that, its ergonomics make it very comfortable to use during long sessions, and the battery life lasts much longer than I imagined. It’s perfect for travel, events, and even more serious projects if you’re looking for professional results without any hassle

Enjoy that it is light weight for a pro camera it is a very go beginners camera to learn the modern digital way of pro photography and vedios.

4K Quality That Truly Impresses! The Canon EOS R50 is an incredible camera for both photos and videos. The 4K footage looks crisp, colorful, and professional — perfect for content creators or vloggers. Autofocus is super fast and accurate, even while moving, and the camera is lightweight and easy to carry anywhere. Battery life is solid, and the touchscreen makes shooting effortless.

Even though this is an entry-level camera, it has pro features like ISO lock, exposure bracketing, and AV focus. The battery life is good also.

I love this little camera. I also love that there are dozens of YouTube videos that tell me how to use all the features. I got an adapter so I can use my older lenses on this camera as well. They work perfectly. The only issue is the right grip is a bit small so I ended up leaning on the buttons all the way to the right, which was annoying as it changed, how many pictures I was taking sequentially. But after I used it a while, I figured it out.. Nothing I would return it for. It took great photos on my Safari.

Picture quality is very good and it's easy to adjust and play with in general. The app makes photo transfers easy and quick. For my first camera i would 10/10 recommend.

Works great, good battery life, great image quality

this cámara is great. I used this like profesional photography and it works perfectly. I can do videos to. The photos are perfect and is easy to use even if you are not a professional

I like it I use it for events or sporting events. it’s very easy to use and has a good quality for the price

Exactly what i wanted. Portable and durability. Then the picture quality is worth every penny you spend on this. I'm looking to upgrade but for now this serves it's purpose
