Canon launched R50 V as its first true mirrorless vlogging camera

Canon has made a strong entry into the vlogging camera market with two new models. Here we are talking about the EOS R50 V mirrorless and the PowerShot V1 compact. The latter was launched in Japan a while ago. In this article, we will discuss the Canon EOS R50 V including its specifications and its expected price in Nepal.

EOS R50V Overview

Sensor and Videography

The EOS R50 V is Canon’s first mirrorless camera designed specifically for vlogging, aiming to compete with Sony’s ZV-E10 II. It’s slightly taller than the PowerShot V1 but has similar overall dimensions. This camera features a 24MP APS-C sensor with Dual Pixel CMOS AF II and a DIGIC X processor, enabling users to shoot super-sampled 4K video at 30 fps using the full sensor width. It also supports 4K video at 60 fps with a crop or 120 fps in 1080p. This is a good option for photographers too because it offers a 12 fps burst rate with the first-curtain shutter or 15 fps with the electronic shutter, all while maintaining continuous autofocus. So, all in all, this camera is a great choice for both video creators and photographers.

Also, you will get a mode dial that offers options like Movie Auto Slow Shutter, Slow/Fast Motion Recording, and Movie IS Mode. Vloggers will especially appreciate the fully articulating 3-inch display for flexibility when shooting from different angles.

Connectivity and additional features

When it comes to connectivity, the EOS R50 V has a dedicated button that allows you to livestream instantly in four different modes, supporting UVC/UAC, HDMI, Camera Connect, and Live Switcher Mobile multi-camera options. The camera also comes with a single UHS-II card slot and an LP-E17 battery. It also comes with several useful ports, including a microphone, a headphone, microHDMI, and USB-C. It uses Canon’s RF-mount, meaning it’s compatible with all Canon RF lenses, including the newly launched RF-S14-30mm F4-6.3 IS STM PZ lens, the first RF-S lens with power zoom functionality. This adds a lot of versatility for creators who need smooth zoom features during shoots.

The camera weighs a bit more when paired with the new 14-30mm lens (which has a 21-45mm full-frame equivalent focal length). For vloggers, the R50 V offers vlogging-specific modes like a product showcase function and focus breathing correction. The camera’s Dual Pixel II autofocus system includes features like face and eye detection, as well as subject tracking for people, animals, and vehicles. These features make focusing easier than ever, even when switching between different subjects quickly.

Canon EOS R50V Availability and Price in Nepal

The Canon EOS R50V has been launched at $650 for the body-only version and $850 with the RF-S14-30mm F4-6.3 IS STM PZ lens. If the camera makes its way to Nepal, we can expect the price of the EOS R50V to start at around NPR 100,000.
