Canon has launched two new video-focused cameras for the global market. The first camera is the PowerShot V1 which was also launched a month ago. The second camera is the EOS R50 V, which is said to be a redesigned version of the previous EOS R50 model and is now optimized for video use.
The EOS R50 V comes with various interesting features including a live view button, a movie recording button on the front of the camera, and a tripod screw hole suitable for vertical shooting. This camera uses a 24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor with a DIGIC X image processor. It is capable of recording 4K video at 60fps with support for 10-bit YCC 422 for sharper and clearer image quality. The Dual Pixel CMOS AF II intelligent autofocus system is also included to ensure fast and accurate subject tracking.
The EOS R50 V is also designed specifically for content creators with features such as live streaming, four-channel audio recording (UVC/UAC, HDMI, Camera Connect, and Live Switcher), and dedicated zoom controls. The camera also supports five image editing presets compatible with Cinema EOS, including Canon Log 3 for enhanced editing. The EOS R50 V will be available in April 2025 with an estimated price of $649.99 (~RM2,880) for the body and $849.99 (~RM3,767.16) with the RF-S14-30mm F4-6.3 IS STM PZ lens.
