Canon EOS R50 V Camera with RF-S 14-30mm Lens Kit Summary

Pairing two of Canon’s video-first products in a convenient kit, the Canon EOS R50 V Camera with RF-S 14-30mm Lens Kit is ideal for beginner and experienced vloggers and content creators. The APS-C format EOS R mirrorless camera features a new body design with video-specific features such as a forward-facing record button, tally lamp, and a vari-angle screen for horizontal and vertical content creation.

The RF-S 14-30mm f/4-6.3 IS STM PZ Lens, released alongside the camera body, features a versatile full-frame equivalent zoom range of approximately 22-48mm, thanks to the 1.6x crop factor. This is perfect for vlogging at arm’s length at the ultra-wide end of the range, while the 48mm end works well for standard views, studio work, street photography, and travel content.

As a PZ lens, creators gain access to its power zoomtechnology, enabling smooth zooming control from the rocker switch on the EOS R50 V camera body, or via any compatible gimbal. The lens also includes image stabilisation, helping stabilise handheld recording with the compact APS-C camera.

Canon EOS R50 V Camera with RF-S 14-30mm Lens Kit in More Detail

Canon RF-S 14-30mm f/4-6.3 IS STM PZ Lens

The Canon RF-S 14-30mm f/4-6.3 IS STM PZ is a lightweight, wide-angle zoom lens for stills and video content. On this APS-C camera it provides a 22-48mm full-frame equivalent, which is a useful zoom range for vlogging, filmmaking, and handheld shooting.

At just 181g it’s easy to carry and also works well for gimbal-mounted video recording, while the power zoom function (PZ) allows for smooth focal adjustments from the camera body. With up to 5 stops of image stabilisation, it helps reduce shake for clearer results, and a stepping motor (STM) keeps subjects sharp while staying quiet during video recording.

Canon EOS R50 V for video-first creators

Canon has refined the R50 V’s body design to include a comfortable grip for handheld shooting, and the camera features a video-first mode dial on top, for quick access to different shooting modes. This dial also provides access to photo mode, which enables either manual or auto control via the camera menu.

Vari-angle touchscreen

A thoughtfully designed Vari-angle touchscreen allows you to flip out the LCD screen in horizontal and vertical recording modes for selfies and difficult angles. The screen doesn’t interfere with any cables connected to the camera, and the menu system automatically flips orientation when switching between horizontal and vertical for uninterrupted shooting.

A tripod hole for vertical shooting can be found on the camera’s side, which allows for connection to any standard tripod, as well as the Canon Tripod Grip HG-100TBR for vlogging and remote control. Additionally a red record button on the front of the camera provides easy recording activation when vlogging, without needing to change the position of the camera.

Canon Advanced Shoe

An advanced shoe on the camera lets you add a compatible Canon Speedlite, external microphone or other cable-free accessory to elevate your content with a dedicated accessory. The body also features a power zoom lever, enabling digital zooming when shooting with a PZ lens, such as the RF-S 14-30mm f/4-6.3 IS STM PZ Lens, which launched simultaneously with the camera. This delivers smooth fingertip control over the lens’ zoom, without needing to change your grip on the camera.

RF Mount Lenses

With the RF mount you can add the latest prime and zoom lenses not only from Canon, but also third party manufacturers including Sigma, who has extensive experience in developing world-class lenses. These include zooms such as the Sigma 16-300mm f/3.5-6.7 DC OS Contemporary Lens for Canon RF Mount and Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Canon RF Mount, both of which provide extensive reach with versatile zoom ranges.

Content that looks its best

Professional Tools

Various tools are available to help users streamline their content creation process through the use of Aspect Markers, Timecodeand specific exposure and focus tools such as False colour, zebra display, and MF peaking.

• Aspect Markers provide a visual guide for how the final image will look in various aspect ratios, which is ideal when you create content for different platforms.
• Timecode adds specific metadata to your videos, enabling accurate syncing that allows the editing process to move more smoothly.
• A tally lamp is available, highlighting when the camera is recording so you never accidentally miss segments.

Dual Pixel CMOS AF II

One of the most impressive features of the EOS R50 V is the inclusion of Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, which is powerful autofocus technology for stills and video found throughout high-end cameras like the EOS R5 and R6 Mark II. This system offers wide sensor coverage so you can achieve sharp focus on yourself or your subject, even as it moves to the edges of the frame.

Dual Pixel CMOS AF II also features advanced subject recognition to track people, select animals, and vehicles, making it easier to get sharp results, while concentrating on the creative aspect of your content.
