Canon EOS R50 V

Also announced is the EOS R50 V, a 24MP APS-C mirrorless camera offering interchangeable lens capability and tools tailored for video production.

It supports 4K/60p and oversampled 4K/30p recording, along with features such as Canon Log 3, vertical aspect markers and multi-source audio support. The model includes a vari-angle LCD, front-facing recording button and direct livestreaming functionality via Canon’s mobile app.

Accompanying the cameras is the RF-S 14-30mm F4-6.3 IS STM PZ, Canon’s first RF lens with internal power zoom.
