Customer Ratings & Reviews

The zoom is not distant enough. Some settings change during use. The charger needed a lot of time to get charged.

great camera, my students love it. 4k and Bluetooth capabilities.

Good for beginner camera, lens could be better……..

Great product as expected. Wife loved it as a gift!

Bought and returned it, for a couple of hundred bucks more you can get the R10 which is a great starter

Love my camera, still learning all the features. Highly recommend it

Useful and handy for a professional photographer who works on portraiture …

very very very very very very very very very cool camera

wish i would have spent more. limited in its capabilities

Camera shuts off after about 1/2 hr. of video. Not good for long form video production. I am sorry I bought 3 of them

Great photos and video… zoom feature could be more user friendly

The camera quality wasn’t that great and when returned they charged 120$ as stocking fee which I was not informed earlier despite buying the camera after discussing with the customers service help.

In a single sentence the Canon EOS R50 is an excellent feature packed camera for your everyday shooter, vlogs, and a lot more. In the box you get the following: EOS R50 camera body RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM Standard Zoom Lens Camera cover Neck strap Lens cap Battery charger LC-E17 and pack LP-E17 Battery cover Various papers The camera itself is very well built, compact, and a lot lighter than expected even with the lens. It feels very solid and premium in the hand even with the plastic parts. The flip screen is very easy to read with all the necessary info needed to get your shot or video just right without information overload. The touch screen is very responsive and despite being fairly small I never had an issue where I was pressing something I wasnt intending to activate. Feature wide it has everything you will need if intend to use it as your go to shooter, or if your planning on video logging with uploads to Youtube, etc. It has multiple shooting modes if you want to just shoot and upload, or if you like to tweak things afterwards. Even with the auto modes selected pics and video came out amazing. Everything from auto, to food mode, to HDR, and everything in between its fun to try all the different modes to see exactly how each changes your pics and vids. Uploading to my phone for extra storage or to view content for quality, or directly to my laptop to edit the the final cut was simple and just worked. The battery life was great for pics and I would say adequate for videos. I plan on getting an extra battery for those times where you dont have a charge port available. But if anything I would run out of room on my SD card before the battery was done. It also comes with a nice selection of free programs as well. And the Canon app was easy to use with all the features I need so getting set up and going was a lot easier than with previous cameras. Overall like I said in the beginning this is the perfect all around camera if you just want to take excellent pics and videos. But if you need more it has all the features needed for high quality video logging as well. So if you to be able to just have one camera to do it all this is a great choice. Looking forward to trying even more of its settings and features to improve my shooting!

Pictured it as crisp as anticipated, lower qyality

The Canon EOS R50… This is an entry level camera? Not quite… The pricing indicates it is, however once it’s in your hands you will feel otherwise. TLDR - If you are looking to get into photography or vlogging, look no further than the EOS R50. Pros: > This camera is super lightweight. Makes for taking it anywhere almost a no brainer as you can easily pull it out to begin pointing & shooting. > Autofocus is very good. Like very good!!! Given the price point, i was surprised at how it was able to keep up with moving targets & targets coming into view (whether snapping a shot or recording a video). > The vari-angle touchscreen allows for versatility whether point & shooting or vlogging. Anyone looking to get into content creation will definitely be happy with this camera. > The A+ Assist is actually not too bad, especially when you hand off the camera to inexperienced hands such as my 8 year old son. Would say 3 out of 4 photos came out with decent to great quality shots with occasional ones which were not. > Burst shot capabilities were very good. Was afraid the camera would overheat, however I was able to get many sequential shots without any issues. > Battery life is good, considering i had sessions where i took 100+ photos and still had enough juice to keep going. Cons: > The location of the USB C charging port is less than ideal. May get in my way one day if i forget to bring spare batteries and have to use the battery pack to charge it while shooting. > Lens selection is limited… Overall, this is a great little camera with a lot of versatility. Highly recommend especially for those looking to get their feet wet with content creation!

Not great at all. It is slow to turn on and the lens are not great.

The can present very issues in the configuration… it is very complicated.

After following the writtend directions this camer refuses to save photos to the SD card. Total waste of money

This Canon camera is a great camera with lots of capabilities. It is a lower end model and does a decent job with whatever paces input it through! It has tons of capabilities. It comes standard with a RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM Standard Zoom Lens, shoots 24.2 megapixel shots with up to 15 frames per second, a nice liquid crystal display which is viewable from many angles, and more. Having a moveable screen is really nice in those tight situations or when you have the need to raise the camera over heads that are blocking your view. This is a real easy camera to learn to operate and take great pictures and videos with. You will need to purchase a memory card as one is not included with this product. For those people who have never used a digital camera, a memory card stores all of your pictures and videos. Remember that videos utilize quite a bit of memory, so if you are planning on making or taking videos, I highly recommend a large capacity memory card. I fooled around with the video capabilities of this camera and was impressed with the cameras video quality as well as it’s picture taking capabilities. Videos were smooth, not jittery, and had awesome color definitions. As compared to my other camera which is triple in price, video quality was equal or better with my Canon. I give the Canon manufacturers a lot of credit with this camera! I think it important that users that might be interested in this product understand exactly what a mirrorless camera is. A mirrorless camera lacks a “reflex mirror”. Light passes directly through your cameras lens onto the systems digital sensor. During this step your image is then displayed onto the camera’s screen. At this point you can tweak and adjust the cameras settings prior to the actual shot! You can fix the pictures composition and lots of other things. The Canon camera has less moving parts and less items to wear out and break. I have an older DSLR (digital single lens reflex) camera which has a reflex mirror. It is a high end camera and when I do a side by side comparison of photographs there is not much of a difference between them. The Canon takes awesome pictures and videos, is much more compact in nature, and much lighter and smaller. You really can’t distinguish differences between the two unless photographs are enlarged substantially and printed. For all intents and purposes, I rarely print anything larger than an 8” by 10” photo meaning that there is no discernible difference in a printed photograph. This camera is a lot of fun to use and take videos with. On a trip to the Everglades I took some awesome videos of all sorts of wildlife. Video was absolutely stunning and I’m very happy with the results. Learning all of the capabilities of this camera will take you a little time and practice. This is a great all around camera so take it on vacation and put your phone camera down. I highly recommend this product.

I recently received a Canon EOS R50 Digital Mirrorless Camera. I’ve had a few days to try it out and put it through its paces. It is heavily geared towards the Internet Content Creator, but I’m going to review the camera as a whole. This version of the EOS R50 came with an RF-S 18-45mm f4.5-6.3 IS lens. It’s a nice lens. There are, of course, other lenses available for the camera which greatly increase its flexibility. I found that this one works well for portraits, landscapes, and general everyday use. It has image stabilization built in so you don’t need to utilize the digital image stabilization that is also available in the camera, but at the loss of a little frame size. The camera takes great pictures and videos. It can take pictures at up to 24mp and video can be shot at 3840x2160 or 1920x1080 at 59.94fps, 29.97fps, or 23.98fps. They offer Standard and Light IPB compression when recording. There is also an option to record at 1920x1080 at 119.9fps but when recording at this frame rate, audio is not recorded. Something that took a while to find is how to connect the camera to your computer for livestreaming. There is an option on the 4th yellow setup screen saying “Choose USB connection app”. After selecting this option, you can select either “Photo Import/Remote Control”, “Video calls/streaming”, or “Canon app(s) for iPhone”. Selecting the second option allows your PC to see the camera and allows you to use it for streaming. There is an android application that you can use with the cameras. It allows you to see the images that are on the camera, remote live view shooting, auto transfer photos to your android device as they are taken, control camera settings, display the camera user guide, and much more. There is also an iPhone app which I would assume has similar capabilities, but I don’t have an iPhone to try it out. Overall it’s a great camera. It does have a number of drawbacks however. First of all, keep in mind that this camera does not have a full frame sensor. It utilizes an APC-C sensor, so to determine the crop factor of the lens you have to multiple by 1.6, making this lens functionally equivalent to about 29mm – 72mm. If you are using this for vlogging, this is important because you will appear very large in the frame unless you are using a tripod set some distance away from you, or you have very long arms. You can see this in the pictures I’ve included. Both are shot at 18mm. The 1st is shot with my arms fully extended. (I’m 6’3” and have long arms.) The 2nd is shot holding the camera at a comfortable distance from my body. Another issue is the fact that you cannot charge the unit as you are using it to stream or record. If the USB port is set for video, the camera will not charge with the USB cable plugged in. If you want the camera to run on external power, you will have to buy a dummy battery which will allow you to operate the camera from an external power source. You also have a 1 hour streaming limit. Once the hour is up, you can restart streaming right away, but it is a limit built into the camera that you need to be aware of. Another issue is that in place of a standard hot shoe for the flash, Canon is using their new “Multifunction Port”. This means if you don’t have an accessory built for this port, you will have to buy an adapter to allow the use of any other hot shoe accessories. A minor issue is the placement of the USB-C and Micro HDMI ports. They are on the right side of the camera. If you are using either or both of these ports, it is nearly impossible to hold the camera for handheld shooting because the cables are located where your hand should be. The last issue is the RF-S lens mount used on the camera. This is a proprietary connection allowing only Canon to make autofocus, and auto-anything lenses for the camera. You will only be able to use lenses that Canon designs for this specific mount. Despite all of the negatives that I mention, I still think this is a great entry level Mirrorless Camera system. It takes great photos and videos, has a tremendous number of options, is very customizable, and easy to use. The integration with your smartphone and PC makes it a great tool for content creators and vloggers. It is far superior to using any smartphone by itself for these purposes. Canon should make a few tweaks to their next version, but this is a big step in the right direction.
