Canon EOS R50 V Mirrorless Camera Unveiled, Designed for Content Creators Who Want Cinema Quality Footage

Content creators rejoice! The Canon EOS R50 V mirrorless camera was designed to help all creators, including cinema, livestreaming, vlogging, and VR, heighten their visual story telling. For starters, it features a 24.2-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor paired with the DIGIC X image processor, delivering high-quality stills and video with good low-light performance (ISO 100-32000, expandable to 51200).

As for video, the EOS R50 V is capable of recording UHD 4K at 60 fps (cropped) and 4K at 30 fps (full-width, oversampled from 6K for sharper detail), as well as Full HD at up to 120 fps for slow-motion shots with audio. Its 3-inch vari-angle touchscreen flips out and rotates fully, so you can see yourself while recording. This is a must-have for vloggers framing shots solo, whether they’re facing the camera or showing something behind them.

At around 370g, it’s easy to carry and hold for extended periods, which is crucial for vloggers who often shoot handheld or travel light. The “brick-like” redesign is ergonomic for one-handed use, and the front-facing record button lets you start/stop recording without fumbling around—ideal for self-shooting.

Vloggers rely heavily on clear sound, and the R50 V delivers with a 3.5mm mic input for external microphones, a headphone jack for real-time audio monitoring, and a multi-function shoe supporting advanced audio options (like 24-bit, 4-channel LPCM with compatible mics).

The Dual Pixel CMOS AF II with subject tracking (people, animals, vehicles) locks onto your face or subject reliably, even if you’re moving. The “Register People Priority” mode is a bonus—you can prioritize yourself as the focus target, which is great for vloggers filming in busy environments. Available April 28, priced at $849.99 with an RF-S14-30mm F4-6.3 IS STM PZ lens or $649.99 for the body only.

Creators are not one-size-fits-all, and EOS R50 V was built through creator feedback to make content creation easier. With modern design elements, customization options, and a new lens bundled together, the EOS R50 V is destined to be in your gear bag,” said Canon in a press release.
