Canon EOS R50 V Specifications

[eleven99]

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.

Thanks I will make the request.

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.

Interesting, cheers for the info.

Wondering if this camera can record while doing live-streaming.
I'm not a big fan of Canon removing the speedlight pins from the hot shoe. it's hard to use a system with only 30 meters radio range.

You can use the AD-E1 with an old-style hotshoe accessory.

I see according to Canon India, that they have finally addressed all my messages concerning the addition of "Real Time LUTs". So one may sync the Look and color displayed on each device or even bake them in. In camera, in real time. For under $800. Bravo Canon. Wait to see if one can also frame a still image with same Custom Picture LUTs. The R50v can shoot the same LUT as the C70, C80, or R5II or Panasonic S9 for that matter.

What I’m missing is a way to get your clog3 footage to your phone and easily apply a LUT there.
Panasonic has a phone app that allows you to do that, including minor edits, I hope Canon joins the fray with an actual good app or a 3rd party creates a non-subscription app that does all that.

I’m not sure if this is what you mean, but I use LumaFusion on IPhone all the time for that.

That is slightly overkill for what I want, but yes, that would work. And it looks like you don’t need the subscription it offers, which is a nice change from all other software things.

Concerning IBIS in the R50 V, this thread seems to have decided yes to electronic, DP Review says likewise, B&H says no [they use the phrase (Electronic (Video Only) for the R10 and R50] and. last but certainly not least. Canon USA says no IBIS but they support lens IS. For the R10 and R50, Canon says yes to electronic. Update: I'm not sure canon is consistent with what they mean about IBIS. It could be that their IBIS means only hardware and they sometime don't address electronic. I think I'll wait for reviews to decide.

I'm going with the Canon USA website and invoking the Cripple Hammer, since electronic stabilization is probably a strictly software function and, therefore, adds nothing to the cost of making an R50 V. I think Canon doesn't want people buying just the body and using it with a Sigma lens, which is exactly what I would do.

If using Sigma 10-18/Tamron 11-20/Samyang 12mm f2 with the crop, it's around 20~22mm(FF equivalent), it's enough

I have a stupid/silly question, about these new cameras and whichever older Canon mirrorless cameras.

I already have the Canon R5 Mark ii but I also have the Canon 5D Mark iii.

What Canon cameras, on the low-end surpass the Canon 5D Mark iii? I'm guessing just about all are better with AF. I'm not so interested in video quality. Mainly just for photography.

Would something like the R8 outperform it? Do these new smaller cameras? I guess it can be FF or crop sensor.

I've basically given my wife the 5D Mark iii but I'm wondering if any of these lowend cameras are worth the trade. Orrrr, I might just get an R6 Mark iii when they come out because people seem to love them. I know the R6 isn't low-end. Not sure if it has any advantages over the R5 Mark ii. (or will)

I'm just really curious what mirrorless cameras surpass the 5D Mark iii, especially on the low-end. Especially with AF and image quality, for photography. Going back to when the first Canon mirrorless cameras came out to now (or soon to be coming). Part of me wonders if all of them are better.

I find it interesting to think about because at the time that I got the 5D, it was basically a top of the line (not flagship) but with mirrorless and all of the new technology, I wonder if it still holds its own or if I could get something waaaay better for $1500 or less, as a replacement.

I know there's probably experts in here that can list a few cameras that are around that price point and think the 5D is a paperweight. That being said, the 5D can still take amazing images, just curious if the new lower-end cameras are better. I think the newer cameras just make taking amazing images a little bit easier, with a higher hit rate with in-focus images.

I'm obviously not an expert, that's why I'm asking. Is there a low-end camera worth trading the 5D Mark iii for?

You will not notice anything at photo level. The photos look the same. Mirrorless can be lighter more responsive, and has better lenses. That is ALL. Actually, does this reply to your question? I am a bit confused about your exact question.

Canon's full-frame mirrorless will deliver about the same image quality, but it's the other features which will blow a 5D III out of the water. With an R8, you'll get excellent autofocus, an EVF, articulating screen, and a much smaller body and lenses. These don't affect the image quality but will make it much easier and more convenient to get the photos you want.

Anything from R8 and upwards will easily produce stunning images that are easier than 5Diii. Excluding the AF capabilities, modern Canon cameras have good dynamic range in RAW. Something non-Canon users love to attack old Canons on(5Diii is no exception).

For an RF body to adapt your existing EF glasses for sub $1500, I would say wait for R6iii to make R6ii cheaper. If you cannot wait, R6 mark 1 and R7 will do a great job.
I don't recommend R8 because you have to buy separate LP-E17 batteries. You have enough LP-E6 to feed the R7/R6(basically all the mid-high end Canons)

Yeah. I can stack LUTs on my Panasonic S9 and adjust the grain.

I have the Sigma 10-18 and it works well on my R7. Next question: will Canon introduce an R7-V with the R7-2 and should I wait for that?

R7 is still a pretty capable.... I would say wait.

Thank you all for the responses! That's exactly what I was curious about. If image quality is around the same but everything else is basically better, I'll probably trade in the 5D Mark iii. Like I said, I already have the R5 Mark ii but I was just wondering how well the "lower-end" mirrorless Canon cameras were in comparison with what used to be considered a high-end.

I may trade/sell the 5D and get a camera to go with the new R5 mark ii. Thanks for bringing up battery compatibility because I have a ton of batteries for the new R5, so maybe I'll see what other cameras are compatible with it.

I think the R7 is the crop sensor, so that may be worth looking into. I'm really not in a rush. It's would mainly be something for my wife to use. Then again, if it has other capabilities that my R5 doesn't have, I might have to use it for myself! I mainly do macro, nature and portraits of animals, so I think the R5 Mark ii covers all of that well.

I think my EF to RF converters work on all mirrorless Canon cameras but I could be wrong. It may not work on crop sensor. Everything I have is for FF.

Again, I appreciate all of the feedback! Sorry, the question may have been a little confusing. I was always curious how they compared and figured this would be a good place to ask. The answer about dynamic range is very helpful too!

 

[Blorp]

When can we expect the manual to be released?

 

[David - Sydney]

I'm going with the Canon USA website and invoking the Cripple Hammer, since electronic stabilization is probably a strictly software function and, therefore, adds nothing to the cost of making an R50 V.

Please understand that SW is not free and there is a cost for it. It may be possible to leverage past SW development but there is always a cost to develop SW and to maintain it (bugfixes/security patches etc).
It is not simple to assign a specific cost to one SW feature compared to a hardware widget.

I found "SW = free" to be particularly true when I was working in China.... If you can't see it then it must be free. Chinese EV manufacturers seem to be now bundling full self drive features into their lower end cars which has a substantial cost. Tesla charges a substantial fee for the same. That said, Tesla can "unlock" Acceleration Boost for ~USD2000 locally which seems excessive.

Personally, I have found that I am willing to pay for new camera hardware (lens etc) but have not been so willing for new SW. That changed after getting PTgui and StarXterminator which make life very simple.
