Just bought one and I love it and feel like a pro when I’m a beginner thanks Cannon.

Got this as my first camera as an intro to the photography hobby. This is a massive game changer compared to my smartphone's camera

[zazooo]

Just bought one it's amazing I don't need higher prices ones for my use I love it

[EuphoricSoundDJ]

I agree image quality is amazing and even better in Heif format mode.

I recently upgraded from the Canon M50 to this amazing Canon R50. Leaps and bounds better! The uncropped 4K @30fps video quality is among thee very best I've seen. Coupled with the tack sharp, best sun flare capability - Nisi 9mm f2.8 RF lens is an excellent combo for shooting real estate videos and photos. Full frame results at a third of the cost.

So glad i seen this short review as I was deciding between Sony 6700, Fuji XS2 both more than double the price. All of my old canons still work even the ancient T2i . Ican even use the old lenses with an adapter.

Hi! I just bought this camera and it was already over my budget but I just couldn’t resist lol but I’ve seen so many reviews about the kit lens is really not that good as the aperture can’t go low enough to make blurry backgrounds. That’s what I was supposed to use it for, product photography with blurry backgrounds. Do I really have to spend even more money to upgrade to another objective?😫 or how will this kit lens do on close up shots?

Just letting everyone know you should also take into account AF features, shutter speeds ect especially with fast moving subjects.👍 Also benefits of a full frame camera other than image quality.😊

Hey Ken! For a beginner getting into shooting wildlife/ milky way/ landscape, would you spend the extra $100 and go for an R10? The extra dial and slightly larger grip is nice, but unsure if its worth it. Thoughts? What about growing in skillset with R50 vs R10? Which is better for a beginner's skill growth with $100 price in mind? Thanks!

[IzaiahArevalo]

Hey, do you think this camera will be good for beginner photography and short films?

[IreviewEverything-kwnf]

Hey, urgent suggestion needed. Is a 6100 better or R50. Im a beginner, just need for my hobby amd traveling. I won't probably buy another lens. Pls suggest

[LingLing]

Is it worth picking up the kit that includes the 55-210mm lens for an extra $200 or should I set that aside to save for the 18-150mm lens?

[miguelarauz]

can i shoot cinematic-like videos like in weddings with this one?. or what camera would you recommend under 1000.-?
thanks for the reply

[Sammy_zone]

Hi man I recently bought R50 m a beginner nd i like street photography along with bit of nature photography like sunsets or maybe potraits of people sometimes etc any lens would u recommend me for like all purpose thing probably in EF sector

[alienshhmalien]

Would you say it's best to get the adapater for this camera? Than to get canon flash

[greciarbr]

Hi!! Thanks for the video! For an entry level photography, would you say is worth getting this or the R100? I just want to make sure if it’s worth it since it has a few hundred dollars of difference.. thank you!!!

[denniseazura]

I watched some video tests of this camera. I noticed that the color is a bit faded and the shadow is a bit too much. Thinking to return my sony zv e10 with this camera. Do you think it’s gonna be worth it?

Hey! Urgently looking for a good advise from a pro. I am choosing between Canon R50 and Sony a6400. Sony is weather-sealed. Apart from that I believe, they’re very similar but Sony is an older model. SO many people told me Sony have better lens choice so go Sony but I’m very unsure. What’s you suggest?
