Canon EOS R50 V

Mit der EOS R50 V hat Canon eine spiegellose Hybrid-Systemkamera vorgestellt, die sich an kreative Fotografen und Filmer mit dem Schwerpunkt „Content Creation“ und Social Media richtet. Dabei unterscheidet sich die Kamera sowohl äußerlich als auch in Sachen Bedienung von anderen Kameras ihrer Klasse. Wir haben uns die Canon EOS R50 V im Test genauer angesehen.

The Canon EOS R50 V is a mirrorless camera aimed at video creators who want a compact body with interchangeable lenses. It will take photos too, but it’s mostly designed for video. As you might expect given the name, the R50 V is a video-oriented version of the now two year old R50, and shares the same 24 Megapixel APS-C sensor with a RF lens mount. It can record uncropped oversampled 4k up to 30p, and now also offers 4k 50 and 60p albeit with a crop. There’s also now support for C-Log 3, a front record button, headphone jack and a tripod thread on the side for easier vertical filming. The feature-set and design should certainly appeal to anyone who’s primary focus is filming video, although if you can live without C-Log, a headphone jack and the video-oriented body design, you could achieve mostly similar results with the original R50, while enjoying a built-in viewfinder and a slightly lower price tag thanks to age. But to be fair, Sony’s been successful with the ZV-E10 II which costs a similar amount to the R50 V depending on region. It’s certainly becoming quite a crowded market though and any camera aimed at video creators will also have to compete with the DJI Osmo Pocket 3.
