Canon needs to stop making so many cameras and make some more affordable mid level lenses.
seems like you know more than canon
@@akhyarrayhka4048 I'm sure they have their reasons, but lenses are everything, bodies always come last.
@@akhyarrayhka4048 yes, we the consumers know better theres absolutely no reason to use rf lenses in their apsc since there's already a good apsc mount and instead of making new lenses they made doxens of cameras and trash kit lenses
Amen
Or at the very least they should allow 3rd party lens manufacturer help in filling in the gaps.
A lot of people just want a camera, other than their smartphone, to shoot vacations, events, family, with a few closeups and some nature. Nothing complex. For them, an inexpensive camera is exactly what they need. Many don’t even know what RAW is. If they decide they enjoy it enough to go to something better, they can, as it’s the same mount. It’s tough trying to review this from a serious photographer’s viewpoint, as that’s not who is going to buy this.
even as a serious photographer, this camera just slaps! great image quality at a small package.
@@vagabundovideos4347 most all cameras these days shoot high quality photos, so it’s rarely an issue. Even 4:3 is decent.
Props to Jordan, nice transition at 01:30
This is my first time watching a video of yours and you just happen to be shooting 10 minutes from where I live in South Carolina! That’s a great location for some awesome shots. Definitely subscribing and looking forward to watching more of your great videos. This review was very helpful as I am looking at getting the R50 as a replacement to my now ancient Rebel XTi!
The production on these two episodes were great. It's interesting to see Canon expanding on their bodies to the extent of how many DLSR bodies they had. I'm looking forward to the APS-C lenses above all. It was great to hear that @Chris Niccolls wanted to share images that highlighted not just these consumer level cameras, but also the consumer level lenses currently available. Curious to know your lens set up for these particular videos, @Jordan Drake, especially the shot at 7:05 since the character of it is really brought out by your composition.
I have the R, R6, and the R7, and all have their use and strengths. The low weight and small form factor of the R50 I find very attractive, for travel that is. Had the M50 before and absolutely loved it, especially in combination with the Sigma 56mm. The lack of control dials is an issue, I admit. You can outsource one to the lens, but a second dial on body is kind of a must. Thanks for the review. As always honest and straight up.
I'm glad I got an R10, basically the same camera with way mote controls. Brilliant camera it is.
As always, enjoyed your review.
Thanks for the great reviews
It’s just me, but I really like the warm tone on this video. Cool video review!!!
Even if I'm not in the market for this camera, I'll always appreciate your take on things. Even at 6 a.m.
Great work, as always.
3:53 “looks like the m-mount is gonna fade away” - let’s be honest, the m-mount was secretly killed a couple of years ago, the widow just didn’t tell anyone and froze the body in the fridge to keep getting the pension (from some of us m-fans).
Alot of us were under no illusions and still bought into it because it's a great system. I won't be upgrading to RF cameras any time soon
@@thetoyota86perspective54 thing is many of us might not upgrade to Canon like at all. But I will forever keep my trusty 20D as a reminder of those awesome days way back when the red striped belt meant something truly great.
Hang around any camera forum, and you will see tons of people who were arguing that the fact that Canon hasn't released a new M lens since 2018 didn't mean the M platform was dead. Go to a forum right now, and you will find plenty of people arguing that the R50 doesn't meant the M platform is dead.
@Gemma Seymour there is still nothing like the M50. Light, has a viewfinder and the EF-M lenses are exactly what mirrorless should be: sharp, light, look good and those primes are quality.
I bought two M50 bodies because I personally don't plan to upgrade for around 10 years. I have 12 lenses, 8 EF-M and 4 EF, there is no camera on the market that can do what my M50 does in a package so small.
Also, RF lensed are stupid expensive.
As for EF-M being dead, Canon stop producing DSLR bodies and EF lenses long ago but they are far from dead. The 7D II and 90D communities are still thriving let alone the M50 community
@@thetoyota86perspective54 Just moved to Sony E mount but i will be keeping my M6 Mii such a great little camera!
Great review, thank you!
Oh my goodness, 😃 New review every single hours!!. Respect
You guys are great. Canon sR50 looks like a fine camera. With enough IS lenses, the lack of IBIS is not an issue for me. I get great shots and video with 18-45 lens.
I have watched almost all your review films.. but this one is beyond BEST for one reason.
the way is filmed on gimbal very smooth & great cinematography!! nice review..
This is very similar to the M50. It works better with the back screen when you tap what you want to adjust and then use the wheel. Entry level uses likely use the screen more. I think it is essential that the flash is manual. I hate a flash ta pops up and flashes when I did not want. Also you can always keep the flash on and raise it when needed. Electronic first curtain has been the norm in M-series. Having fully electronic is nice. M50 has only very simple fully automatic mode on electronic.
Good review 👍
Thanks for putting the "no IBIS" right at the start of the video so I know I can just close the tab and forget this ever attempted to exist.
Here's the deal. I got my M50 strictly as a webcam during the pandemic. But it also got me back into my love of photography. Since then, I've added an RP and then traded that in for an R6. If the R50 was to tank in value, used, I could see hesitation in getting it. But, like the M50, if it gets the juices flowing and is more attainable than the R10(that $300 will make a difference to FAR more people than you'll admit) then it is the perfect offering from Canon. If the R10 didn't exist, I'd see your argument against the R50. But it does. And Canon cameras hold their value. There is no problem here...
Agreed. Canon mirrorless, even from original M3, get the manual focus assist right from the beginning. More sensitive in lowlight, peaking still appear while recording video, etc. $300 will let us get a decent lightset, or used rode mic, even a bunch of manual lenses.
Canon m50 mark 1 had a problem with the cleaning sensor software it ruined my camera and unusable I needed to buy a new one.
As an owner of the Sony FX30, I am looking for a 2nd camera to take out and about and film my CZcams videos with. Out of all of the recent cameras released, I still see the R50 as the best choice for this especially given the price. I am still looking for Sony alternatives, but, it would most likely mean looking at older used cameras.
would love to see an R50 v R10 review to really get into the weeds between them!!
A camera I am looking into for vlogging. My first lens need would be a wide angle (10-18mm would be great but no R version). The 18-45mm lens not wide enough for the close but wide angles I need. Positives for me-nice an light. Always love the Canon touchscreen system-no one else comes close here. For vlogging the only cameras that compete for me would be Sony ZV1 and ZV1F but still no really good closeup but wide lens in ZV1. The AV1F 20mm lens may work. If the R50 had a 10-18mm it would be perfect.
Great video! 👏🏾👏🏻👏🏾 The lack of IBIS it is unforgivable even in its price range!
I'm more than happy to not pay extra for IBIS.
I'm 10 minutes from Magnolia Gardens which is where this was filmed. Really cool Canon choose Magnolia Gardens for their camera release. I've rented camera's before I buy and go there test them out, on my channel. Great place for landscape, flowers, oak trees and wildlife.
Ive had the Canon 200D dslr for 3 years now would this be a good upgrade for me?
Dudes, you're gonna have to adjust your thinking to match the target audience for the camera. A lot of the issues you raised are perfectly valid for an advanced enthusiast, but for the target market of this camera, not so much. Not to sound arrogant here, but dumb down the presentation to the issues that are important for this market, e.g. the auto features and the lack of image stabilization.
Just a suggestion, but dial the commentary more to the price point of the camera. Ya, I know you do that to a certain degree, but do it more. Would I buy this camera? No way, but for a person transitioning from a phone to a camera, this is probably an excellent choice. That should have been the focus.
The only question I want answered right now is, when will Canon release an RF mount version of the EF-M 22 mm f/2? Adoption of the R system is hampered by the complete lack of affordable, fast, normal and wide angle primes. For this reason, right now, the R50 cannot replace the M50 MkII, not yet.
Hello there! Beautiful shots and location. And it is good to know about the camera. But it is strange that an old Panasonic G85 seems very competitive with this new body.
For a lot of people, I feel like the M50 Mk.II is basically all they're looking for, but the R50 is a nice peace of mind since EF-M mount is, unfortunately, being abandoned and R mount will continue to grow into the future, and consumers can reliably put their current glass on a new body later on.
M50 is almost perfect camera for me, except 1 feature: the silent shutter does work in auto mode only. So, I gonna get R50 instead.
So today I learned that the 'dots' value used for viewfinders and LCD screens counts up all of the RGB subpixels, instead of a simple pixel count.
What a ridiculous bit of marketing BS, and thanks for showing the pixel resolution as well!
the M50 had a mechanical shutter and it created excessive shake with longer focal lengths. You could not turn on electronic first curtain at all, while electronic shutter was available only in auto scene. That was a problem. I guess Canon solved it in a way in R50 now
wow it's beautiful there
Great video as usual, guys. I’m disappointed; I really wish they would update the G1X mark iii-still an under appreciated powerhouse
Will the R10 get a firmware upgrade you think and receive some of these things the R50 has?
Both this and the R8 video seem to have an unusual amount of blown out highlights, is the R8 a bit limited in DR or just environment or getting used to a different body?
I have been a Canon owner for 40+ years and am looking for a vlogging camera for my daughter for her business. The Sony ZV-E10 looks very capable and I was about to get the Sony but now I see this new EOS R50 abut to come out. Nearly every comparison I have looked at recommends the Sony over the Canon, but the Canon does have some advantages like an EVF, built-in flash, full touch screen, and various tracking features. Plus I already have 4 RF-L lenses for my R. What is everyone's opinion of the Sony ZV-E10 vs the not-yet-available EOS R50? Thanks!!!
Are you recording this video content from Canon EOS R50, if not which Camera ?? Please share it with us. Its damm awesome clarity.
It's a fabulous camera for kids getting into photography. The small body is ideal for smaller hands and the automatic mode delivers good results effortlessly. And if you as a parent own a larger R body, it's quite economical to buy one line of RF lenses to be shared. Although the RF 28-70 and 200-800 look a bit strange on the R50. :-)
wow this R8 video looking extra crisp & bokehlicious
I mean the RF-S lens looks good in its size and the image looks okay but seriously why can't the max end of the aperture end like 5.6?
Give Chris and Jordan a raise!
I have this camera. Love it, but the flash shoe supports only the latest Speedlite EL-5 flash, which is 75% the price of the camera. Yes there is the AD-E1 adapter but can't find that thing in stock anywhere since I bought the camera. Be aware of this issue if someone is considering using a flash
I wonder how this compares to the sony zv e10/A6400
What are they using to capture the audio? The XLR device going into the hotshoe?
Does R10 have h265 encoding like R50 which would drastically decrease the generated video file size?
Damn
R50 also is here🎉
Why do these RF-S lenses keep getting darker in aperture than their EF-S counterparts? I thought the RF mount would allow a better design.
Perhaps Canon thinks smartphone kids nowadays don't seem to know and value bokeh anymore?
Those new lenses are unappealing to me.
@@carlc.4714 I would say it's the contrary. Smartphone companies have been recently trying to emulate via software the portrait bokeh that comes naturally with a wide aperture lens. "Portrait mode" they call it.
Of course, the results are not as good as the real thing.
Panning with electronic shutter can be done - when using the camera vertically. If you match the speed of your subject correctly then the subject will not look distorted. And the kicker is: The distortions caused to the background will not be discernible in most cases as then your rolling shutter moves equally over the unsharp background. So for stills this could make the rolling shutter less of a problem (no fix for golf clubs, baseball bats or other partially fast moving subject appendages)...
Are you going pan with a tennis racquet, baseball or football? Or a bird’s wing? Ok Flash Gordon.
@@stubones electronic first curtain exists
@@stubones I stated that these are the cases where this wouldn't work, It works in cases where the background would end up being distorted.
As an R5 owner, I want something small that I can just have out, or can quickly take to the park with my kiddo. I’m stoked for this little thing.
Is the R5 or even R6 for that matter the same build quality as the R10? I love my R10 but I genuinely hate that it feels like a cheap toy in my hands. Considering getting a Sony a7riii
@@brodylockwood14 No, the R5 and R6 feel like tanks. I've owned both and can only imagine the R3 feels the same. Weather sealed and highly durable.
Oh, so you want a Fuji.
@@phillipstone2563 A Fuji would be perfect for a small shooter, but it doesn't take my RF lenses.
I think this makes a ton of sense paired with a FF RF camera, that's how I'm using it too.
Hello! Can you transfer files from this camera to a phone via usb c connection? If you use a cable with two usb c ends, one connecting to the phone and one connecting to the camera. I do pictures in tourist areas and I print them on spot. I need to be really fast. My phone is conected through wifi to a printer. I need to transfer the photos to the phone via cable. Thank you!
1:33 what happened there? Jeez blown out highlights 😅 this was recorded on the R8?
“I dunno there’s some weirdos out there Jordan” 😆
I’m holding out for the R55, R60 or R95!!!
I really like everything about this camera but the only thing that is stopping me from getting one is the fact that it doesn't have a joystick or button to move around my focus point that really is a sticking point for me.
Does the R50 support exposure and focus bracketing?
The Fuji system is very good. Full range of lenses too...
Is the AF working in slowmo 120fps or they disabled it?
What happens if you look through the viewfinder and a croc comes up to you?
What kind of mic are you using if you don’t mind
please make a comparison between r50 , sony zv e10 and fuji xt 30 ii
For people who don’t plan to go larger than APSC, X-T30 and Fuji in general is way better. They give their best in APSC class, while for the other companies APSC is where they make low cost simplified bodies and lenses.
Fuki XT30ii still best choice, or S10 too! In Europe ain't big price difference between this Canon and the Fuji
I would love to see how the autofocus compares with sony a6100 on the full review. It has been a long time since its release but still holds very well.
Better than A6100 and ZV-E10
@@zegzbrutal heyy, is r50 better than eos 200d mark ii?
@@gagandeepsinghbedi8125 100% better.
@@zegzbrutal got it, thanks!, actually r50 is going above my budget, still looking into it, but in mean time can you suggest best camera for photography around 700$ mark, appretiate the help!
@@gagandeepsinghbedi8125 R50 with the RF-S 18-150 might go over budget but it is the best for 1lens1cam option.
If your local 2nd hand market is cheap enough, and you don't mind the size. Using viltrox Speedbooster with EF 24-70L f4 IS a solid combo
is 55 to 210 a good lens for portraits with canon 200d ii
I think the EF-M mount is still much more compelling. The APSC lineup for RF is horrifically bad, and the full frame lenses are a lot more expensive and bigger than the tiny EF-M lenses. Even the kit lens 15-45 is much smaller and has a better zoom range than the RF 18-45. The best advice I would give is to grab an M camera as they can use pretty much any lens with an adapter. Even without an adapter the EF-M 22mm and 32mm are amazing lenses, and you can also use the Sigma trio natively.
The ef-m 15-45 kit is not good though. compared it to my m43 kit lens and was shocked how soft it was at minimum aperture. also it feels super cheap. Canon needs to step up with lenses for RF-S, not just copy EF-M. The rumored Canon RF-S 16-55mm f/2.8 IS USM could be reason for me to upgrade.
when the r50 is out.... i want it so bad. to replace my 6d II it too big for vlogging outside....
I think it would be worth reviewing workflows for social media posts, IG, Tiktok are how people are consuming there work these days, not print or even CZcams and phones are just so much better in my experience at this, such that "upgrading" from even say a four year old Pixel or Iphone is going to be disappointing.
In times of smartphone photography, I really ask myself if there is still a real market for this kind of cameras?!
Are you going to shoot sport’s or wild life with a smart phone camera? Agreed that, as a travel or casual camera a smart phone camera does the job and does it well, but that’s where it’s talents lie.
@@stubones A camera that has a cache for 8 Raw files, is also not made for sports and wildlife. Thx for proofing the point.
@@Benjamin_Jehne a 7 shot buffer is low, but it's not unusable. You don't just hold down the button all day long, you'd spend more time culling than editing. If you can't get a better picture from a APS-C sensor and RF glass than a smartphone, I don't know what you're doing.
@@s0d4c4n Maybe you just don't get the point. ;)
In this price range not a lot of competition. It will sell a lot.
This burst of reviews feels like dpreview woke up from winter sleep and lost its fecal plug.
Arrgghhh, looking for my first. Want it to be a cannon, but my lord, they make this so hard to choose.
Heyy, is sony 6100 or canon 200d mark ii better than r50?
Where's the fuji final reviews?
While I don't think the EOS R APS-C cameras are bad in any way, I just don't see a good reason for getting into the system given the very limited lens lineup... And since Canon has ruled out third party options it's not even likely to improve soon.
As a beginner I would much rather invest in MFT, Sony APS-C or Fuji X, where there's a lot of lens options for me to grow.
Yep. It's got to be hard to justify an R50 when a new X-T30 II is the same price (in the UK at least) and has so many more lenses available
I only have the 50mm rf and am using an adapter for older EF lenses. Sigma currently have amazing RF lenses.
Yes, this is pointless in a world where Fuji exists
It doesn't seem much of an upgrade from an M50. I have a 6D full frame and an M50 (which I bought for video and travelling).
Rather than buy an R50 I'd much rather trade them both in for and RP + EF adapter, which seem the best of both worlds for a great price.
I have to admit though, I do like a mirror between the outside world and my sensor.
Ugh, the footage at :55 looks really good!
Add a zero, it becomes clickable
@@problemat1que neat
Hi, I am a newbie.. can you help me to choose which lens I should buy? I want to buy the Canon R50, but I don't know which lens I should buy. I need to do manly photos to my family.. so for example to a person (bokeh effect) or to group of persons. Which one of these lens you recommend to me?
1) CANON RF-S 55-210MM F5-7.1 IS STM
2) Canon RF 50mm F1.8 STM
3) CANON RF 24MM F1.8 MACRO IS STM
4) Canon RF-S 18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM
Canon releasing a ton of cameras! and lower end lenses now hopefully more mid range r mount lens
Which camera is better the Canon EOS R50 or the S23 Ultra ?
4 videos in a row! christmas comes early this year
edit: 4 videos! not 3
4.
@@thatjordandrake oops! thanks jordan
I replaced my r3 with a new 🆕 cell phone with 16-300 2.8 zoom
I have loved my M50 for the last 4 years, and I hate that canon killed the M Line, but this seems like a decent option for an upgrade to me, simply because it gives uncropped 30p 4k. That certainly sound like a step up from the M50's 24p cropped 4k. And I think this lets you use the dual pixel AF in 4k. So if there are some affordable RF lenses now, and I can still adapt my EF lenses, I could see this being a decent option. Especially with it being the cheapest camera in the R line.
RF never equals affordable. You are better off jumping ship to Sony or Fuji.
R50 is a M50 reborn. I'm hoping R9 is R7 without EVF, making a true successor of M6ii.
EF-M was an experimental platform for Canon to figure out how to build mirrorless. So with RF confirmed to be the platform to work on. EF-M can retire with honour.
@@gigihanmandarin if you have few EF lens on you. Jumping ship to other mount is not cost efficient. And the weight saving may not worth it
Btw highly recommend get the Viltrox or Metabones speedbooster. Utilise the most of your EF lenses.
Just get an r10 dude. Much more controls and overall a better camera.
My first cameras were a Canon t3i and 6D, but no longer interested in any Canon cameras. No official third party lens support is dead in the water. Sigma Art lenses are the best.
Was that Tony Toenails ? Not for me but Canon will sell a truckload of this camera. 😎
It seems that the HDR PQ is superior on this camera, so if you thought HDR PQ sucked on r7 or r6 you may find that is a great 10 bit option that can be converted to rec709 while maintaining good DR and good colours. I really don't see lots of proof of this as only a few people have mentioned it. Your video doesn't even cover HDR PQ nor do most
Mechanical Shutter, better 3rd Party Lenses, Sony a6100 seems to be a better choice 😎
Or Fuji except autofocus
You should tell people that Canon claims that the camera supports UVC/UAC, which means that it can be used as a web camera via a USB-C connection. BUT... it turns out that the USB connection doesn't transmit audio - just video. (In other words, it doesn't really support UAC.)
It's bad enough that the camera simply doesn't do something that the literature claimes it does. When I contacted them, they weren't interested in clearning up their documentation to reflect the truth.
Just watched review r8
I think you and Jordan would be the coolest CZcamsrs to hang out with, and your chemistry with the Northrups is so good. I'm curious though, what ethnicity are you, Chris?
what camera u used to shoot this video it is really gud
This was shot on the Canon R8
HELP MEEE
ZVE10 w/ sigma 56mm 1.4 or Canon R50 rf 50mm 1.8
7:38 Beautiful cow in the background
The R10 refurbished is $800. The R50 refurbished is $440. I don’t see why IBIS and the additional features are worth double the price tag. Plus lens costs, we’re talking about starting out at $600-$700 or $1200
So basically a mirrorless SL3?
I'm still happy with my M200. Certainly wouldn't cough it up for this thing.
I quite like the M50 as a pocket camera, but a return to a single mount makes sense for everyone and the M glass isn't that great, the R50 offers far more options even with its limitations.
Canon's M glass isn't great but canon allowed 3rd party manufacturers to make M series lenses
So you have a lot of options from sigma to the cheap ttartisan lenses. Far from perfect but the lens choices for beginners are much better than the RF mount imo which is mostly very expensive profesional lenses.
Canon has always half a$$ed their APSC lenses, the best options for their DSLRs have always been from tamron or sigma (eg. 35mm f1.4, 18-35mm f1.8, etc)
So yeah the RF mount not allowing 3rd party lenses is a dealbreaker for me unless you already invested in EF-S lenses and are willing to adapt them for RF.
Pentax K-3!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I love you sir ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm really confused that no time was spent evaluating this camera for streaming/vlogging/content creation. I thought that's what everybody loved the M50 for. The review doesn't seem very complete without evaluating how well the R50 fills its predecessor 's shoes in this regard.
This is a photography channel not video, the reviewer mainly touches on photo
What's there to say about it? It has no ibis therefore its garbage for vlogging. What is there to say about streaming? Sure it probably does it. And content creation, that's obvious. Again no IBIS but good video quality.
With the EOS R50, Canon is up against competition from the latest smartphone cameras, as well as used cameras like the EOS RP
Autofocus is just so much better and you can still shoot wildlife/sports with kit lens which you can’t rly do with rp or smartphone
