Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Great camera for the price, the lens that came with it has stabilizers which is great for a camera without IBIS.

Great camera so far really have enjoyed since Christmas .

Great camera. Excited to see what it can do!!!!!!!

This is a really fun camera easy to get used to and has a lot of great pro features. I would recommend getting a grip for it from small rig as the camera is very small.. The added weight of the grip makes it more stable since you do not have ibis.

works very well i am very satisfiedso i decided to buy another one for my work

Great Camera!!! I would recommend to anyone that wants to start shooting great video and pictures.

the kit lens isn't the best, but the camera itself is really good. Love that they added this as an option for entry level.

Its fine i guess for video making but it doesnt even come with a flash, you can make it good if you invest a couple of thousands more. Not bad but not great

The Canon R50V was the perfect Christmas gift for my son, who is just starting out in the world of photography.

Great camera and great to start for beginners. Has great video settings as well.

Great starter camera and a good purchase for anyone looking to break into this area!

Absolutely awesome camera! Great functionality and nice features!

The camera is going to really change my YouTube presence!

Love it!!! Can't wait to see what else I can do with this camera.

I would rate this a 4 star camera based on value and capability. I use it exclusively mounted on a Gimbal for vertical video content. Unfortunately, the screen isn't bright enough and it's almost unusable outside unless you connect an external monitor which really crushes the convenience of this camera.

The Canon R50V is an excellent content creation camera! For filming talking-head Youtube videos, to making TikTok & IG reels, to shooting professional work (live events/weddings), livestreaming online, vlogging your lifestyle/adventures, and even some casual photography, this camera can do it all. I wouldn't say this camera is perfect, but it is definitely a very powerful tool for content creation. The Canon R50V is basically the Canon R50 (which was a budget friendly, DSLR-styled, photography focused camera) re-imagined and redesigned into a budget friendly, cinema-styled, video focused camera. Unfortunately we lose out on the R50's viewfinder and built-in flash, but the R50V gains a lot of new useful features specifically for video! We get 2 record buttons, one on top of the camera and one in front of the camera for easy access. When recording, we get a tally light and a red frame on the screen so you know when you're recording. The mode dial is packed with different video functions (S&F, SCN, Auto), 3 customizable video settings, and 1 mode for photo. We get a headphone port to monitor audio. We get 1080 at 24,30,60 & 120 fps. We get 4K at 24 & 30 (no crop) and 4K60 (w/ crop). We get electronic stabilization (standard & enhanced). And we also get 10-bit 4:2:2 video! All of this for a camera body that is only $649 or camera body w/ kit lens for $849! Speaking of the kit lens, the 14-30mm f4.0-6.3 STM PZ lens, I think it is a very impressive and very capable lens when paired with the R50V! It is an excellent "starter" lens for someone just wanting to get started with their content creation path and thanks to the RF mount of the R50V you can upgrade to better, more professional lenses or simply find what your lens needs are and replace the kit lens with something that will fit your specific needs better. But in general, the 14-30 is a sharp and versatile lens that will capture some great footage on your R50V. I've had a few days with the camera so far and I have to say so far I am very impressed and satisfied with what Canon has packed into this little beast. Here's a quick list of things I love (w/ notes): * Camera body – decently compact and lightweight * Flip out screen – sharp & bright even in bright sunlight * Internal mic – pretty good (susceptible to wind, wish they included a windscreen) * Autofocus – excellent & reliable * Digital Stabilization - very effective in smoothing out camera movement * Mode dial – allows for quick mode changes w/ custom settings (set up custom settings in advance) * Heat management – excellent, shot 4k30 in 90+ degree weather w/out issue * Image quality for video – impressed even with kit lens * Image quality for photos – impressed even with kit lens * Low light performance – impressed even with kit lens Quick list of things I don't love: * Camera grip is small, definitely needs to be bigger * Kit lens has a plastic mount, rather than metal * Battery life - although decent, camera should really be using a bigger battery especially with the camera being marketed for video There are other things that one could "complain" about or consider a negative of the camera, such as no IBIS, the crop in 4K60, no viewfinder, etc, but I think what you are getting in this camera for the price point, that is already a BIG WIN! The camera is priced very competitively at a very accessible and budget friendly price point. When you consider it's closest competition (offering the same features) would be the Sony ZV-E10 II, Sony ZV-1 II, or the Canon Powershot V1 - All these cameras are close to $1,000 (with the ZV-E10 II pricing being body only). The Canon R50V offers you alot for you money and is definitely a capable, do it all, swiss army knife of a camera. If you want the best value, the best "bang for your buck" camera, go with the Canon EOS R50V. I'm definitely loving it so far, very highly recommended!

Even tho I got r50 when I ordered for the r50v it’s alright

Canon has been one of my favorite camera brands of all time. I have had and use Canon products for still photography, so when I found out there was a dedicated Canon videography solution in the EOS R50 V, I was super interested. My husband and I prefer to capture video for his podcast or on projects we are working on around our properties using more than a phone camera for quality reasons. The compact, lightweight body of the R50 V makes it the perfect solution for this! It’s so easy to pack and go, and get out at a moment’s notice when the need arises. The lens in the kit is 14-30 wide angle, and it truly feels like a pancake type prime as small as it is. It has a rocker zoom ring as opposed to a rolling style, and while we were surprised by this initially, it made us realize how smooth zooming with it is. Not jittering video! Video and audio output is excellent, the content translates well in raw format and converts for social media platforms seamlessly. The high definition quality is excellent without frame drops and stutters. Anyone that is into social media capture, influencer types, vloggers, and even those needing a high end video solution for their business should definitely consider the EOS R50 V as their on-the-go videography tool.

The camera features are very thought out and useful. Screen: Love that it works both as touch and can be interacted with the button panel as well. The screen rotates and can be flat or off to the side which was super useful when wanting to use for streaming. Interface seemed intuitive but that may be because I owned a cannon before. Connection: I tried streaming from my phone to multiple streaming services and it worked great. I also tried it as a camera for my computer by plugging in the lightning cable to my laptop, it showed up in OBS and worked immediately. Quality was high and there was no lag in the situations I tried it in. Zoom: I love the interchangeable lens and wish I had another to swap with. The angle on this one is pretty decent for general purpose but it did not zoom in as much as I would have liked. It was really nice to turn the focus ring and have it reflected in the zoom on the camera, it feels really natural. App: The app is incredibly useful! It had way more features than I expected. I especially like being able start and stop the camera from a distance.
