The R50 is designed for beginners on a low budget, for vloggers and content creators, and for those coming in from smartphones. Let's see how the R50 measures up on our testbench...
Design & Build Quality
The Canon EOS R50 is a neat-looking mirrorless camera. The body appears to be made of plastic, and being small, may be appreciated by users having small hands. The grip, naturally, is also on the smaller side. The R50 is made in Taiwan. We received the R50 with the 18-45 mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM kit lens.
Key Features
The 24.2 megapixel Canon R50 is a compact and lightweight mirrorless APS-C sensor camera that’s easy to set up & use, and comfortable to carry along the whole day. It is available in black or white body colours, and with two kit options: With RF-S 18-45 mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM lens, or with RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM + RF-S 55-210 mm f/57.1 IS STM.

With its armored aluminum frame, IPX8 water resistance, and a hinge engineered for 200,000 folds, this is a device built for professionals who demand durability and elegance in equal measure.
