Just bought one and I love it and feel like a pro when I’m a beginner thanks Cannon.
Thanks!!!!
Is that kit lens good to go?
Hi! How is it for shooting low light youtube videos?
I recently upgraded from the Canon M50 to this amazing Canon R50. Leaps and bounds better! The uncropped 4K @30fps video quality is among thee very best I've seen. Coupled with the tack sharp, best sun flare capability - Nisi 9mm f2.8 RF lens is an excellent combo for shooting real estate videos and photos. Full frame results at a third of the cost.
Thanks!
So glad i seen this short review as I was deciding between Sony 6700 , Fuji XS2 both more than double the price. All of my old canons still work even the ancient T2i . Ican even use the old lenses with an adapter.
Id suggest Canon. I really prefer it over Sony and Fuji both for the colors, support and especially ease of use. Thanks!
Just bought one it's amazing I don't need higher prices ones for my use I love it
Thanks!!!
It’s badass ❤ canon did a great job with this one
Thanks!
I just got the R50 and the Nisi 9mm f/2.8 RF lens. Absolutely amazing combo for shooting real estate! A huge upgrade from the Canon M50 and Laowa 9mm f/2.8 ef-m lens.
I like the full auto mode on the R50 as it looks amazing on the viewfinder. But I have the Nisi 9mm f2.8 manual focus lens. I can't take a picture in full auto mode for some reason. Are there settings to allow this?
Also wondering if you can do a comparison between 3 hdr bracketed vs full auto mode assist photos? I'm imagining closer results than expected. Blended hdr photos are tough to beat but this will make for an interesting test.
Your lens is probably very manual mechanical aperture control, no electronic connections to the camera so the camera can’t control the lens. Thus the camera only can control shutter and ISO - full auto needs also to control the aperture
Hey Ken! For a beginner getting into shooting wildlife/ milky way/ landscape, would you spend the extra $100 and go for an R10? The extra dial and slightly larger grip is nice, but unsure if its worth it. Thoughts? What about growing in skillset with R50 vs R10? Which is better for a beginner's skill growth with $100 price in mind? Thanks!
I would, because I use those dials all the time. I also love the automatic leveling unique to the R7 - but it costs twice as much as the R50 and the photos are identical among three. All depends how much convenience is worth to you and how much money you have for this. See also www.kenrockwell.com/tech/is-it-worth-it.htm thanks!.
@@KenRockwellTV Thanks for the insight! I think I'll find myself with the R10, all things considered. Great read up on the blog
What 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hello 👋🏻 Sir I'm From India 🇮🇳 And I'm a Big Fan Of You're ❤
Thank you!!!!!
Hi! I just bought this camera and it was already over my budget but I just couldn’t resist lol but I’ve seen so many reviews about the kit lens is really not that good as the aperture can’t go low enough to make blurry backgrounds. That’s what I was supposed to use it for, product photography with blurry backgrounds. Do I really have to spend even more money to upgrade to another objective?😫 or how will this kit lens do on close up shots?
Set the 18-45mm to 45. Get as close as you can. Shoot in Av exposure mode at f/6.3 and see how you like it. It should work fine. The closer you get the more out of focus will be the backgrounds.
@@KenRockwellTV thank you so much, I’ll try this!🙏
Let me know how it works. If you want even softer then try the superb and inexpensive RF 50mm f/1.8 and shoot in Av mode at f/1.8: www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/lenses/50mm-f18.htm@@piahelens
Hey, do you think this camera will be good for beginner photography and short films?
Superb for this. It’s a very capable camera at a bargain price. Get it!
Thanks for the quick review. PS It would be better if you turned your phone 90% so that it is horizontal like the eyes on our heads.
Agreed - but for these shorts it’s a vertical format. Thanks! See the full review at www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/r50.htm
Hi man I recently bought R50 m a beginner nd i like street photography along with bit of nature photography like sunsets or maybe potraits of people sometimes etc any lens would u recommend me for like all purpose thing probably in EF sector
Yes! The RF 18-150mm does everything is is the only lens most people would ever need on an R50. See it at www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/lenses/18-150mm.htm thanks!
Looking forward to the one that will replace the RP.
The RP replacement is the R8 aka RP Mk II. www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/r8.htm
@@KenRockwellTV Thanks, I hope there will be a full-frame camera at the same price point though, the R8 is 1.5x the price...
The RP was $1,300 when it came out in 2019 four years ago, which with inflation today in 2023 is equivalent to $1,550. This the new R8 is even less at $1,500. Thanks!
@@KenRockwellTV Oh I see, thanks. R8 it will be then!
can i shoot cinematic-like videos like in weddings with this one?. or what camera would you recommend under 1000.-?
thanks for the reply
The camera doesn't matter. Your lighting is what matters, and your ability to shoot at 24 FPS with a 180º (1/50 second) shutter speed, which often means ND filters in daylight. Thanks!
@@KenRockwellTV thanks a lot!!
I wanna do travel photo and video. I'm beginner and don't want to spend on new lens other than this kit lens. Is it sufficient for a beginner or I'll need to buy lenses?
The 18-45mm is a great lens, see sample images with the R50 at www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/r50.htm#sampleimages
Hi just wanted to say that it's amazing that you answer to everybody's questions! Subbing just because of that. Thank you and I'll visit your website too. 💜
I do this because I love to help, so of course I answer everyone. My website is a much better source of info than YT; I put a lot more effort into it and it stays much more current over time. THANKS!!
@@KenRockwellTV 🌞🌞😊
I already have iphone 14 and I ordered this and its on the way. Will it produce better pictures because i love holding camera. Would it be better than my iphone?
It will be different. Potentially more detail, but more to carry and requires more manual input to optimize itself for each shot.
Hey,! I heard that this had a digital zoom feature in it's video mode, will that digital zoom work with any Prime lens?
If it has that (haven’t looked for it), it should work with anything. Look it up in Canon’s users guide at cam.start.canon/en/C011/manual/c011.pdf Thanks!
@@KenRockwellTVdo you have anything to do with a certain illegal website thats asdociated with the illuminati
Nice quick review but vertical format for video is very off putting. Tend to ignore videos in this format as it implies content is trivial.
Exactly. If you want the real review in full, it’s at www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/r50.htm
Just get it with 10-18mm + R50
That’s what I do! Thanks.
I watched some video tests of this camera. I noticed that the color is a bit faded and the shadow is a bit too much. Thinking to return my sony zv e10 with this camera. Do you think it’s gonna be worth it?
I prefer the R50 over anything from Sony. Remember that photography is an art; cameras don’t create color, people do. If a shooter lacks skill, as most reviewers do, the results will be random. See also www.kenrockwell.com/tech/2-kinds-of-photographers.htm thanks!
@@KenRockwellTV Exactly! I’m just a beginner with no skill of videography or editing. So I prefer a camera with great Auto Video Setting. ZVE10 color science is great! But somehow the video is not as sharp as my old Canon 200D (especially when I zoom in, the video quality gets worse). Thanks for your advice.
I'd also use an iPhone rather than any of these cameras. iPhones give better results if you don't have an entire Hollywood crew and ASC DP and doing your lighting for the shoot.@@denniseazura9488
hi, can you recommend a budget camera for a beginner realstate photographer? thanks
Hey, I would say go for a R50 it will last years and gives you flexibility. But if you don't want to spend that much look at R100 (I wouldn't recommend it) or buying a used M50.
Absolutely! The Canon EOS R8 and RF 15-30mm IS STM give state of the art results for infer $2,000 brand new . www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/r8.htm and www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/lenses/15-30mm.htm
Can you recommend a camera for portraits under 600 $ ?
New, $600 is tough. I’d try the R100 and 18-45mm lens for $599. www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/r100.htm
You got some big hands bro
Thanks, I do.
Do you recommend the r50 or the fujifilm xt 30ii
R50 easily. I hate having to shoot Fuji cameras. I don’t like Fuji’s ergonomics and for me Fuji’s color rendition is boring. R50 all the way! See my full review at www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/r50.htm and my users guide at www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/r50.htm#usage
What to choose between nikon z50 vs canon r50? Please help as i want buy one immediately
I don’t know you or what you want to shoot, but in general I’d go EOS R50: newer camera, better customer support and great pictures.
@@KenRockwellTVi am from India.. i want to shoot travel photos and videos for social media.. thanks for your suggestion.. your reviews about cameras amazes me..
Hi. How can I remove the flash cover?
If you mean the little black cover filling the hot shoe, you pull it straight backwards, just like a flash. There are grip ribs on the top to help. Thanks!
Wich is good for filming this or gopro
R50 better for stage and studio. GoPro for outdoors, wet, dirty and wild.
@@KenRockwellTV thank you so much
How is low light performance?
Great! Full details at www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/r50.htm#highisos
what does it taste like???
It tastes like sweet Sucess! Thanks for asking.
@@KenRockwellTV Thanks big boy!
Would this be good for videos??
I never use interchangable-lens cameras for video; I use my iPhone which works much better unless you have a whole truck of lighting gear and a day to set up lighting; the iPhone deals with real-world lighting better than anything. Thanks!
What’s the camera or the m6 iii
R50 is tiny and awesome for travel and birds and distant things and just about everything. M6 II is a bigger camera that needs bigger lenses with a bigger full frame sensor and better if you want shallower depth of field and need ultrawide lenses. See all this in detail at my full reviews at www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/index.htm Thanks!
@@KenRockwellTV thanks to you sir
I’d chose the R50. I think canon will eventually end the M line and lenses
Is it safe to buy this camera if I photograph in different conditions, because it does not have weather and dust protection, or will it die in harsher conditions in moisture and dust.
I avoid obnoxious conditions. If the wind picks up the sand, I hide the camera under a jacket, and I don't stay out if the conditions are poor. I've never had a camera die on me, but I don't let it get caked with dirt either. It's hard to say. Thanks!
Is the best camera in its class for the price؟!
It’s great! Pictures look better than from my Nikon Z8 at five times the price!
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.
Beats me, I use iPhone for video. Thanks!
Worth it?
Absolutely.
Hi nikon z30 or canon r50 , which one i should go for .❤ For street photography, landscape and night videos . which is better, please advise
R50 is much better. Z30 doesn’t even have a viewfinder and is part of an inferior system. Just look at the photos I make with my R50 at its written review www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/r50.htm thanks!
@@KenRockwellTV got mine yesterday it's awesome.... Am looking for a perfect lens 😍 the kit lens is okay but ....nahhh do you have any budget lens suggestions
