    As ever, straight to the point.
    I have no hesitation in referring people to Ken’s CZcams channel and website, as he really isn’t trying to sell any cameras, lenses and other paraphernalia. It’s just good info that cuts out all the unnecessary fluff.

    This has quickly become my go to camera. I have this and a full frame R8. They say the best camera is the one you have with you, this one is so light and compact I take it on hikes and walks anj hardly notice it. I am not afraid of damaging it because of the relatively low price point. It is a great camera with incredible image quality, even with the stock lens. My R8 full frame still goes with me on trips I can protect it and carry it and my expensive and heavy kit. The R50 is a "daily driver."

    the lack of a hot shoe is a pretty big deal for me but I guess if I were buying this as my first "real" camera, it's not a big deal to buy one of the new electronic flashes.

    • @meme4one
      @meme4one Před 8 měsíci +1

      CZcams reviewers and the rise of the vlogger commenting on cameras has made the proper hotshoe less glamorous. I don't use my proper flashes often but I love them. That said, if I wanted a pocketable camera for holidays etc then I would not worry about a flash option.

    • @KenRockwellTV
      @KenRockwellTV  Před 8 měsíci +2

      I’d rather have the built in flash than any shoe, and my review at www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/r50.htm#useflash has links to the adapter that lets you use all the old flash - but why? The built in is all you need. Thanks!

    I'm now wanting to buy a mirrorless. I'm confused and stuck between canon, Nikon and Sony. What do you recommend? Is the R50 worth it?.. is it a dealbreaker to have no viewfinder like on the z30?

    • @KenRockwellTV
      @KenRockwellTV  Před 7 měsíci

      I prefer the Canon system for Mirrorless. The R50 is an awesome camera, I’d get it. Having no viewfinder is weird. See the R50 review at www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/r50.htm and the brands compared at www.kenrockwell.com/tech/comparisons/nikon-vs-canon-vs-sony-full-frame.htm get the rfs 18-150mm if you can; it does everything. www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/lenses/18-150mm.htm

    Hello Mr. Rockwell great video as always I was thinking about buying a canon mirrorless camera but here in Iran the prices aren't really good nowadays and I was wondering is r50 better than canon rp in image quality department? or should I get none of them and wait a couple of months to get a better camera?

      Good question. See my reviews with high ISO sample images at www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/r50.htm and www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/rp.htm and compare for yourself. I’d just get the newer R50 and love it; photos are great, it has a built in flash and is smaller.

    Super little camera, IMO. I passed as have a few older EF-S lenses anyway and I spied a 200D (v reputable retail warranted source) going. Super deal and v similar to this in handling, and I have other cameras. Lacks convenience factors but for everyday stuff it never cost much and me not being a pro it takes me a day or so to reacquaint on anything more complicated (even to my standard). If it had had the sensor cleaner I might have said why not ..........(first world issue I accept).....Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
