About this item
Written by Crutchfield's Ned O.
A creator's go-anywhere mirrorless camera
The EOS R50 is a fantastic tool for content creators who want to take their creativity to the next level. It's got a compact, lightweight design and an impressive feature set that includes a 15-frame-per-second electronic shutter, 24.2-megapixel CMOS (APS-C) sensor, lightning-fast autofocus, and a built-in flash.
Smart autofocus
This camera can recognize people, animals, and vehicles and track them during video recording. It even has Movie for Close-up Demo Mode that switches focus to objects held close to the camera's lens, like a flower, objet d'art, or piece of gear for review that you want to show clearly. It's also the most affordable camera in Canon's R-Series mirrorless lineup.
A pair of complementary zoom lenses for the R50
The included super-compact, retractable RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM lens gives you flexible shooting options to capture crisp, clear images of whatever comes your way. It's the perfect lens choice when you're not sure what's next — a bustling street scene, a selfie with your best friends, or a candid group shot.
Also included, the RF-S 55-210mm f/5-7.1 IS STM telephoto zoom lens brings you closer to the action and captures clear, sharp images — whether you're filming a performance from the back row in an auditorium or capturing still shots of birds in the marsh.
Each lens has a low-noise, stepping motor (STM) autofocus system, and excels at smooth autofocus and near-silent operation — especially helpful if you're shooting video with sound. Built-in image stabilization can help you take sharper photos, even in low light. Of course, the superb optical performance you've come to expect from Canon is still here in spades, with super spectra coatings on the lens elements to make your images as sharp and artifact-free as they can be.
