Canon EOS R50 V, EOS RV & PowerShot V1 Coming March 26

[John Wilde]

My guess is that the R50V will use the R50 sensor. The similar name would suggest that.

I suppose they could tweak that sensor to give it a faster readout speed.

I have a feeling these cameras will not do well. Dont ask me why. Hope I\'m wrong. Maybe if they add a separate add on viewfinder it may help them. Maybe the young will adore them.

It may not be popular in EU NA, but no EVF will be popular among the Oriental regions.

The silhouette on the right definitely looks like the leaked RV photo. I think the R50V and the RV are referring to the same camera (maybe a different market different name thing a la Kiss, Rebel, etc...).

You have to love it when the marketing teams in OEMs have teasers for the same date!

The cameras are clearly not marketed towards you then. These are clearly going to be marketed towards Vloggers, Podcaster, Social media content creation ect. There are FAR more people in that buying category then there are with that old school mentality on cameras some people still have, Not every camera is designed with photos first in mind or professional photography. SONY has proven that these $600 Ish dollar Vlog cameras sell VERY well.

\"but it is inexpensive and uses a plastic mount.\"

We cannot expect anything else from Canon

 

[Bob Howland]

Any word on whether the R50 V has IBIS? If I buy one, I'd probably use it with the Sigma 10-18 which doesn't have image stabilization but works well with the R7.

IBIS for $650? From Canon? Cmon!

I'd be shocked if it had IBIS, I'll try to find out though. It makes sense to hold that for the higher spec camera. I imagine the PZ lenses will have IS.

So would I but, obnoxious jerks to the contrary, I thought it was worth a question.

The ZV-1 II and ZV-E10 II are Sony's top selling cameras.
Canon has more competition for the rumored R50V than Sony does but not having an EVF makes these cameras more pocketable.

IMHO it is better without IBIS for a primarily vlogging camera.
Active cooling would be a more welcomed feature.
The rumored R50V does not seem to have it which would lean me toward the PowerShot V1.

As a non-vlogger, how does the lack of IBIS help? Is it purely price and feature parity with Sony or is there a detrimental video effect when using IBIS, apart from the infamous Canon-corner-wobble?

For sure it is! It's a small camera, so that's why I lean towards IS lenses instead.

(With video) "Having internal IBIS is going to increase the noise because of the heat."

From the online article "And Now Panasonic Explains What's Not So Good with IBIS..."

The article also says that IBIS isn't good with a "professional stabilization rig", but that wouldn't apply to a consumer grade vlogging camera.

I suspect the IBIS induced heat noise is an order or magnitude less than the noise introduced by tiny phone-sized sensors, which seems to be the market Canon/Sony are targeting.

What I want is something comparable to the Sony FX30, which goes for $1800. I'm not certain that even the EOS RV will be good enough to make me pull out my credit card.

Again, why 20mm 1.4 when there's a 24mm 1.4

Why not 16/18mm 1.4??

My guess is that all these VCM primes will be the same size (like the 24-105/2.8 and 70-200/2.8 Z lenses), to enable simple swapping in rigs.

An f/1.4 lens wider than 20mm would be too big.

Yes, I was hoping/assuming that the rumors about the RV and R50V being 2 separate bodies meant that we'd be seeing a ZV-E10 level body (which the R50V seems to be) and an FX30 level body. Keeping hope that it will come along later this year with the R7MkII and a new sensor.
