Canon EOS R50 V Specifications

[...] If you were using the EF 28/1.8 on an APS-C DSLR, the combo of the R8 with the RF 28/2.8 would still be shorter, and it would be just as bright since f/1.8 on a crop sensor is equivalent to f/2.9 on a full frame sensor like that in the R8.
The field of view would be wildly (well, 1.6x) different, so talking about equivalent apertures is mostly theoretical at that point.

The RF 50/1.8 is the simple, inexpensive answer to that. The EF 28/1.8 wasn't a very good lens at launch in 1995, and it suffers even more by comparison to modern lenses. If you want similar IQ from the RF 50/1.8 you can smear some vaseline on the front element.

The EF28/1.8 is one of those lenses that benefit a lot from DLO in DPP4. I don't use mine anymore since it's the only lens where the focus ring started 'sweating', it a sticky mess now :(

I would love a mini R6II/R8 version in this body but with a third command dial around the lens, instead of the zoom lever. This might still be an interesting body option for stills and non-PZ lenses, depending on the zoom lever's implementation with non-PZ lenses.

RF 24-50: small but for that f compromise no good FL
This FL, and a bit bigger to accommodate constant F4 aperture at least.
If you were using the EF 28/1.8 on a FF DSLR, the combo of the R8 with the RF 24/1.8 or 35/1.8 would be shorter overall, and deliver better image quality.
Was using EF28/1.8 on Full Frame. FL24 seems to wide for my composition that I need to crop often, at FL35, I wish it was a tad wider. and at F2.8 not giving the separation look I want for Environment Portrait shots.

Wishing these two lenses.

Looking forward for the aperture of the coming RF-S 15-30. Hope its constant F2.8.. This will be like RF24-50 at F4 for me.

No flash contacts
Flash is full of contacts, look at the image from behind, looks like the M6 II shoe, optical viewfinder should work, maybe the same one M6 owners already have.

3 custom modes! Only for video though
Well lets see, yes the images is for video, but I don't see why the software should not allow to store photo modes too. And let us customize that rec button and zoom dial.

Look harder. The R50 V, just like the R50, has only the new multifunction shoe contacts. There are no contacts for the old-style flashes/accessories. The EVF-DC2 (for the M6II) does not have the same contacts as the multifunction shoe and will not work on R-series bodies.

Jesus who designed this? It looks like an iPhone and a Sony FX30 had an ugly baby. This vertically embossed mini grip *eww*.
Luigi Colani is spinning in his grave.
Seriously I hope Canon isn't continuing this design language, cause this makes even a Sony look ergonomically pleasing.

And then this new cripple-hammered kit lens. "Oooh, give them 1mm more wideangle than the EOS M kit lens, but let's make it f/4-f/6.3 and take 15mm away at the long end. But of course we're still gonna charge more, cause it's new."
It's too bad EOS M can't be adapted, because nobody would bat an eye for this new lens.

Ok I was only interested in EVF contacts. But yes interesting, how is this supposed to trigger my studio lights.
