Canon's newest EOS R system mirrorless camera allows content creators to take their creativity to the next level

The EOS R50 is a small and easy-to-use APS-C mirrorless camera designed with content creators in mind

Canon Europe announced the EOS R50 – the latest ideal addition to the EOS R range for content creators seeking more serious results than what they achieve with their smartphone. This versatile camera offers everything – 4K video, impressive audio, and sharp photos. Its easy-to-use interface, simplified ergonomics, and advanced new automatic modes guarantee professional-looking results. The EOS R50 is the perfect solution for content creators looking for a dedicated camera to develop their style for both photos and videos. Alongside the EOS R50, Canon is also announcing the RF-S 55-210mm F5-7.1 IS STM – a compact telephoto lens specifically designed for APS-C cameras in the EOS R range.

Shoot with ease

The EOS R50 is compact and has a comfortable grip, allowing content creators to carry it everywhere. The vari-angle touchscreen offers convenience when composing shots from any angle – overhead, from the ground, or with the camera pointed at you for vlogging or taking selfies. Camera operation is intuitive, thanks to the touchscreen, electronic viewfinder, and simplified button layout.

The "Creative Assist" function automatically provides ideal settings for various scenes, and "Creative Bracketing" captures multiple images with different styles with each shutter press. This makes the EOS R50 ideal for any mirrorless camera beginner looking for a tool that allows them to develop their skills at their own pace.

Create like a professional

The 24.2-megapixel high-resolution APS-C sensor provides real control over depth of field, capturing highly detailed photos with beautifully blurred backgrounds, and records UHD 4K 30p video with 6K oversampling. By choosing the "Focus Bracketing" function, good focus can be ensured when shooting close-up subjects, thanks to automatic image merging. The camera offers reduced digital noise and records video with a wide dynamic range, which provides high detail in bright areas of the image in high-contrast scenes.

The EOS R50 gives users the power and freedom to enhance their creativity with Dual Pixel CMOS Auto Focus II technology, which recognizes and tracks people, animals, and vehicles to quickly focus even on moving subjects. The shooter will not miss a single moment thanks to continuous shooting at 12 fps using electronic first curtain and 15 fps when shooting with silent electronic shutter.

Vloggers can easily use a multi-function shoe for external accessories (e.g., a microphone) or use it to power compatible accessories from the camera, providing them with more peace of mind when creating content on the go.

Connect and share seamlessly

The camera allows ambitious content creators to push the boundaries of their capabilities without disrupting their workflow. They can easily transfer images and videos using the Camera Connect app for instant sharing and remote shooting. Bluetooth connectivity ensures easy use of the BR-E1 remote control or a smartphone. You can also use the EOS R50 as a UVC/UAC webcam via a USB connection without the need for additional software to achieve professional image quality for video streaming or video conferencing.

The ideal travel zoom lens

The RF-S 55-210mm F5-7.1 IS STM is a compact and versatile RF zoom lens (approx. 3.8x), ideal for capturing distant subjects or creating exquisite portraits with the subject isolated against a blurred background. Its stabilization allows for sharp photos even without a tripod, and the STM focusing system provides smooth and silent autofocus, necessary for video recording. The RF-S 55-210mm F5-7.1 IS STM is designed for travel, sports, and pets and is the perfect solution for those who want to experiment with settings. It is the ideal complement for those shooting with the EOS R50 and RF-S 18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM.
