Canon EOS R50

The EOS R50 is Canon's entry-level RF-mount mirrorless, designed for photographers making their first step beyond smartphones and entry DSLRs. It brings Canon's Dual Pixel CMOS AF II — the same system found in cameras costing four times as much — to an accessible body with a 24.2MP APS-C sensor. The fully articulating touchscreen and dedicated video mode make it a practical creator's tool as well as a photography camera. At 375g, it's light enough to carry without a dedicated bag. For first-time mirrorless buyers who want genuine Canon quality and long-term lens investment, the R50 is the most sensible entry point into the RF system.
