Canon EOS R50 V: For those who shoot content today and build brands tomorrow
Canon has come up with a camera Canon EOS R50 V decided to speak directly to a new wave of creators. Influencers, YouTubers, vloggers, streamers – all of them today need a reliable, high-quality and, above all, easy-to-use solution for video production. And that's exactly what the Canon EOS R50 VV is: a camera that ditches unnecessary features and focuses on what matters.
Gone are the electronic viewfinder and flash, but with the addition of higher frame rate 4K recording capabilities, dedicated live streaming buttons, and ergonomics that support vertical shooting, this is no longer a camera for amateurs – it’s a camera for ambitious beginners.
Key new features in the EOS R50 V
4K video at 60 frames per second
The biggest upgrade is the ability to record in 4K at 60fps, which means smoother motion and better shots – especially when recording dynamic content or sports moments.
Professional autofocus
The camera uses the same 24.2MP APS-C sensor as the previous version, along with an advanced system Dual Pixel AF IIIt is also present breathing acuity compensation, which reduces image movement when changing focus – a feature previously reserved for professional cameras.
No viewfinder, with a better screen
Canon has removed the electronic viewfinder – everything now happens on the 3-inch rotating touchscreenFor most video creators, this is a more intuitive approach, especially when shooting handheld or in vertical orientation.
New handle, additional buttons
The camera has a redesigned grip, an additional tripod mount on the side (ideal for vertical shooting), and second video recording button on the front, which comes in handy when vlogging.
Dedicated live streaming button
Canon understands that live stream as important as video editing today. The EOS R50 V has special button for quick live streaming, which allows connection via HDMI, the Canon Camera Connect app or Switcher Mobile. No hassle – just press and you're on the air.
New lens: RF-S 14-30mm f/4-6.3 IS STM
The higher-priced kit includes a new wide-angle lens with optical image stabilization. The zoom is controlled by a ring, not a button – meaning more precise and smooth frame changes while recording. Ideal for vlogging, travel and indoor shooting.
Prices and availability in Europe
Canon to start selling EOS R50 V April 2025European pre-order prices (including tax) are:
- 739 € – body (without lens)
- 999 € – RF-S 14–30mm IS STM lens kit
Prices are comparable to models like the Sony ZV-E10 or Nikon Z30, but the Canon offers better ergonomics for vertical use and more mature app support.
What about the PowerShot V1?
Alongside the launch of the R50 V, Canon has also announced the wider availability of the compact camera PowerShot V1, which will also be available in April. Price: approximately €899The PowerShot is even more geared towards easy vlogging without changing lenses, while the R50 V offers more control and growth options.
What does the competition offer in the same price range?
The Canon EOS R50 V enters a segment already dominated by established models popular with vloggers and content creators. The biggest competitors are undoubtedly the Sony ZV-E10 and Panasonic Lumix G100, both aim at a similar target audience – beginners who want a quality video without too many complications.
- Sony ZV-E10 (housing) – from 699 €, kit with 16–50mm lens for €799–849
Popular for its excellent face tracking, compact body, and excellent color profile. However, there is a “crop” in 4K recording, stabilization is basic, and the menu can be challenging for beginners. - Panasonic Lumix G100 + 12–32mm lens – from 699 €
A very compact system with a solid microphone (OZO Audio) and good ergonomics, but with poorer autofocus performance compared to Canon's Dual Pixel AF. - Nikon Z30 + 16–50mm lens – from 799 €
Nikon's vlogger camera offers good video quality, a large APS-C sensor, and a clean HDMI output for live streaming, but it lacks an electronic viewfinder and IBIS - similar to the R50 V. - Fujifilm X-S20 (housing) – from 1.299 €, complete with lens from 1.399 €
Slightly above the "entry" class, but offers IBIS, C-Log recording, better dynamic range and more professional video options.
The Canon EOS R50 V is therefore priced slightly higher than the Sony ZV-E10, but offers more advanced AF, video at 60fps in 4K, a better user experience for vertical content, and easier livestreaming – which can quickly justify the price difference, especially for those who focus exclusively on video.
I can also add a comparison table with specifications and features if you want a clear overview of “who offers what”.
Conclusion: A camera that understands modern creators
The EOS R50 V is the most balanced entry-level camera for videographers today. Canon has stripped away the unnecessary, added the thoughtful, and delivered a product that addresses the specific needs of today’s generation. If you’ve been wondering where to start shooting better videos – the Canon EOS R50 V is the clear answer.
