    I always love Canon cameras, but having a dedicated portable video camera is amazing, very easy to use and so light. paired up with my DJI RS4 Mini with great performance and results

    Before buying this camera understand it's a VIDEO camera first. While it does some some great features for shooting photos, the main focus on the features will be video related. I'm not really a blogger or do live streams. Near 100% of what I'll be using the video functions for won't involve many humans so beautification filters will be used at a minimum if used at all. The main subjects will be machinery and production videos I post on our website. I really wish I had more time to work with the camera before making a review because I'm still not done reading the manual - I always RTFM and this one is over 800 pages. So I don't have a hold of all the features nor do I have very many subject to record and play with since the slow season just started this week after the holiday. One thing I thought was weird was that the box included a huge "manual." Imagine my disappointment when I open it and it's only a CYA and note on where to find the real manual in dozens of languages. So you won't have a physical copy of the manual to lug around if needed. Get the PDF and have a good time reading it on your phone. My older camera is a Micro 4/3 that has been going strong for about 13 yrs. Sadly, my collection of lenses won't transfer over to the R50 V so I'll have to slowly rebuild my collection - lenses aren't cheap! I didn't get a chance to dig deeper into the features like I had hoped because setting up, recording, and editing videos isn't a fast process. So the majority of what I've done is with auto mode until I can get a proper set up, subject, and most importantly, more time. With photos under auto and in a indoor setting with LED lights, the photos come out slightly too dark. Good thing is that the RAW images can be post processes with Lightroom or Camera Raw and Photoshop to get everything where you want it to be. The resolution and detail are fine, but I need to do more testing or try a different lens to try and get more detail. The images come out just a bit too soft for my tastes. Videos have tons of options and custom presets - opposite of what you'd expect with a still photo camera. Most of my video will be at 1080p with some being reduced to 720p. Maybe I'm expecting too much but even the video has slightly soft images like the photos. I really need to get another lens to rule it out as the problem and not the sensor. The raw files are pretty grainy compared to my other camera and the built in processing uses too much noise reduction for my tastes and makes the image too smooth to almost finger paint quality when zoomed at 100%. So, my impression right now is that the Camera is just OK. Maybe with more time discovering the quirks and trying other lenses I can tweak everything to where it's more pleasing. But as of now...I don't find it more than just a decent, not great, camera for video and photos.

    I like the weight of them camera. Very light compared to others. Easy to use and having the movable viewer is a definite plus.

    I've never owned a fancy camera before this and can only compare to the photos I take with my iPhone. I love how this is easy to use. Still learning things like what other lenses I need to get depending on the types of videos and photos I want to take, but great starter camera.

    I like that its compact. Takes very good video. Because its small, you are kinda limited as to the size of attachments you can add.

    I like the camera, and the quality is good. I wish they had done something different with the battery - memory card placement. I have to disassemble it from the stand every time I want to change batteries or access the memory card. It can be a pain in the butt. There are also things about the menu feature that could've been better. For the money, I still think I made the right choice.

    This is my first mirrorless camera and I have to say it has been such a blast using! Super user friendly for newbies to mirrorless and super focused on videos. Can’t wait to keep creating with this camera!

    I have been using this camera for about 6 months now and I am in love with it! I have taken it on multiple trips and just to local parks and all of the photos come out amazing! And the video is amazing also! It has everything you need all in one combo! The kit lens does everything I need it too and I see myself using it for a while before changing anything!

    Great little starter video camera from Canon. Packs a punch way above its weight for the price and gets you into the Canon ecosystem, which is the best out there. Perfect blogging camera or B-cam to Canons other more high end options.
