Canon has said in interviews that it's the same sensor as the non-V R50, which means that for me, it is unusable outside of static scenes (e.g. focus stacking). The R7 sensor is borderline useable (again, for me) with its 1/30s readout.
Yes, Canon explicitly calls this out during interviews: you can use it as a webcam using a single cable for as long as you wish. You do need a battery in the camera, though.

Hey @Canon Rumors - are we still expecting the "third RV Camera" mentioned earlier, or because the R50V looks similar to the RV leaked image we think it's just these two for now?
I need a B Camera to support my R8 and this looks like a nice option, but ideally I need 4k60 without such a big crop.

The prospect of an R7V or even R8V is another reason I'm holding off on the R50V
An R7V should be able to do non-cropped 4k60, but it would be lineskipped, not oversampled like its 4k30 mode.Yeah I feel the same way, maybe better to hold off, but the form factor and the product photography video modes are super useful for me (I'll be using for product video showcasing), Im tempted to grab one short term while we wait for the more premium models, the fact that it shares LP-E17 with my current R8 is a big bonus.The prospect of an R7V or even R8V is another reason I'm holding off on the R50V
Im a canon fanboy, but sony has been calling me with the ZV-E10 II, I know it cost more but I run a FPV drone business, we like to strap these compact cameras to our drones for epic footage, but we need 60p for alot of applications so the 1.54 crop is a real killer (the sony does 1.1x in 60p) we prefer non-IS as we stabilise later in gyroflow. Gyro data would be ideal (again sony provides this) but it doesnt look available on the R50V even though it will be using a gyro for the digital is internally, another miss - all be it one i understand given we are a small niche.

Yes
Me too. Same. But I patiently await R82, which will hopefully have IBIS.I similar idea entered my mind, but since I already have an R8, which I don't want to sell, the R50V would add a more compact option for travel and casual use, but it's not worth the €2000+ it would cost to replace the M gear. I also want fewer items in my photo gear cabinet, not the same number, but of better quality
Thankfully the R8 exists and I already have one, which prevents a lot of GAS when Canon announces nicely compact APS-C bodies

Thanks, could well be. Indeed the EF 85mm 1.2 is a creamy bokeh king (love that lens, only from my cold dead hand...), but only if the background isn't too vivid.

Are the dual lenses aimed at VR that were compatible only with the R7 when announced now compatible with the R 50 V? If not, that would suggest a forthcoming R7V.The prospect of an R7V or even R8V is another reason I'm holding off on the R50V

I consider this body to (finally) be a version/hybrid of the m62 and Eos M version 1 - especially of the latter. The body shape looks narly identical with proportions, with more buttons of course. So now i can invest in rfs, right? Hmm.
Unfortunately it's the same old sensor, m50/r50 is a known (not bad) quantity - just another canon missed opportunity. The m50's AF has just been superb for me, waxing the floor with the m62 tbh (The pixel smear can really do a number on otherwise accurate af with m62 files.) I can do plenty with this little thing. Video options are a bonus, photos are my focus.
The lenses are giving me a headache tho, and I still need to solve that part. Not having a compact prime really still stinks, and why, why they don't bring out the 22f2 efm again is beyond me. So i've been doing painstaking research to find these two equivalents. Viltrox options aren't yet available either. (Inb4 16mm/24mm'recomendations' - no, neither is good enough, if you like them, thats good for you.)
The rfs sigma primes vary in quality (fringing! arghh), and are otherwise have a much bigger profile than the 22f2 pancake. The 30mm isn't huge but is at least double the profile size of the 22.
The sigma and tamron UWA zooms have unfortunate negatives, and cost is an issue. The 10-18 is 'worse' than the 11-22 efm, and none of the newer options are as good optics wise. Especially the corners.
There's light on the horizon. The lenses...that's the holdup now. For me. Bit at least 'i have a starting point when it's time to retire the M gear. That's a win.

What makes you say that?
Other than missing an EVF, it has more photo capability than the R50.

The electronic stabilization might not use gyro, Potatojet showed a shot of his dog panting and the camera picked the dog to stabilize on, making the stationary background move up and down.
It would be nice to have gyro data exported, though.

Canon uses gyro data for the auto level.
They just do not include it in the metadata.
Please make a request to Canon for them to include it.
The more requests they get, the more likely we are to get it.

Yes and no.
The R50 V is using new hardware, but the R50 could already do that with the same hardware as the R8.
I am guessing that the reason that the R50 has features the R8 does not have is that the R8 shares so much with the R6 II.
Diverging them to much would probably make them harder to support.

I would expect that any R7 based V body would be built around the (rumored) R7II and (presumably) a new sensor with faster readout. IMHO any R7V in the $2k range intended to compete with the FX30 would *need* some degree of 4k120 support which the current sensor simply can't do. A new R7 sensor with 15ms readout (vs the current 30ms) should basically upgrade everything by 'one notch' - i.e. would provide 4k60 at the same level as the current body does 4k30, and offer cropped/line-skipped 4k120 similar to the existing 4k60 modes. And, it would mostly solve the rolling shutter and AF inconsistency at the same time - win/win!The prospect of an R7V or even R8V is another reason I'm holding off on the R50V
Hopefully I'm not being too optimistic.

Samyang 12mm is going to be out soon. And Yongnuo has a new 35mm f1.8 prime for RF-S.
