The media could not be loaded. This is a video first camera which should be obvious since there is no viewfinder. Even though this takes incredible photos, the menu system and options make it difficult to adjust and customize photo specific settings on the fly.## The LensThe kit lens is solid enough to get started and comfortable but most likely you would eventually move to something more tailored to what you want/need out for your content once you realize the limits for your use case. The14-30mm range is pretty useful since it's on the wider side allowing for easy selfie videos but the F4-6.3 is pretty narrow so don't expect to get much bokeh here. The lens has pretty solid image stabilization (IS) and much needed since the body itself does not.## The BodyEffectively this is all the same internals as the old R50 but in a much more compact form. The dial has several video modes along with custom video modes so you can configure your presets and switch between really easily. There are 2 1/4-20 mounts for vertical or horizonal mounting, perfect for shorts/tiktok/reels content creation. The screen is pretty standard but the screen can flip forward for self facing shots coupled with the extra record button on the front allowing for easy 1 person content creation. Also love that I can face the camera in when not in use and I have it hooked up to my external monitor. There's no IBIS so be sure that you either get a lens with IS or use a gimbal to keep your image smooth. The good thing is most Canon lens have built in IS but still something to watch out for and not take for granted.This has all the ports you would need, mic/headphone/HDMI however the HDMI is a micro HDMI port which means it is SUPER delicate. This is a video first camera so even a mini HDMI would be a much better choice so just make sure your cables are secured when rigging this up with an external monitor/transmitter.## Image qualityYou really can't go wrong at this price point for image quality here since you're getting an amazing. Great colors, easy to grade, and lots of available LUTS for CLOG3 recording## TakeawayIf you're mainly shooting videos, this is a fantastic camera and kit to get started and a reasonable price. Also any photography on this can get cumbersome and annoying to deal with so please look at other options if you're wanting to do mostly photography.Reasons for taking off a star:- massive crop on 4k60 mode on a new camera in 2025 which really reduces your field of view- micro HDMI is such a delicate port to have on something that will mainly be used for video and likely have an external monitor

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Video Camera

Has lots of features for video. It is a crop frame, but it serves my video needs. I have a full-frame camera for photography. This is lightweight, very versatile, and portable. There is no IBIS, but it does have digital stabilization. The DS makes the images a bit more fluid, but not as good as a stabilizer. I have a 3-axis gimbal, so the lack of stabilization is not a big issue for me. Overall, its a great addition for content creators videos.

My initial reaction is quite favorable. Love the ability to zoom with a switch or a remote control. It will take a while to get familiar with all of the new video features, of course. Hopefully Canon will come out with a future EOS V camera with more bells and whistles, but they did all they could to keep the cost of this one down, and I think they did a good job. Hopefully also Canon will come out with some more PZ lenses. I think they did a fine job on this as an initial EOS V / PZ combo offering.

This is a very complex video/photo camera. You can use it in very simple modes or you can set it up for very complex shooting modes. The only downfall I see right now is you can not attach a bluetooth wireless mic and use the internal bluetooth as the transmitter end

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Mid-Range Option for Video Creators

M.J. · May 29, 2025

The Canon EOS R50 V with the RF 14-30mm f/4-6.3 lens is a well-rounded camera aimed at people stepping up from phones or entry-level gear, especially those focused on video work. It offers native 4K/24 and 4K/30 recording, which covers most needs, and it can handle 4K/60 if you’re okay with the sensor crop (meaning your field of view tightens up a bit).The built-in image stabilization is a real plus, letting you shoot handheld at slower shutter speeds without introducing blur. For handheld video or casual shooting, that’s a practical advantage, especially if you don’t want to lug around extra gear like gimbals or tripods.However, there are some clear tradeoffs. Most notably, this camera lacks a viewfinder or EVF, so you’re stuck composing everything using the screen. For video, that’s workable, but for still photography (especially outdoors in bright light) it can be limiting. Also, it uses Canon’s newer RF mount, which gives you access to some excellent lenses, but they generally come at a higher cost compared to older EF lenses and lenses from other manufactures.Overall, this is a good pick for YouTubers, vloggers, or beginner-to-intermediate creators looking to level up their video quality. It fills the mid-range niche nicely but doesn’t quite reach higher end or pro-level territory. If you understand its strengths and limitations, it can be a very capable tool for the right kind of shooter.
