It’s always a good idea to add new strings to your bow, so if you are interested in content creation/video, then the Canon EOS R50 is a stylish and easy to use option that’s now cheaper than ever!
If the Canon EOS R100 seems too cheap and low-end, this is a great alternative. Those two lenses and other important accessories give you a complete Canon starter system!
At a glance:
- 24.2MP APS-C sensor
- Up to 15fps shooting
- 4K 30p video recording
- 2.36m-dot, 0.59x electronic viewfinder
- 3in vari-angle touchscreen
As we said in our original review, the Canon EOS R50 is ‘very compact and lightweight’ with extremely capable autofocus and good video features that will quickly get you started in content creation, doing YouTube videos etc.

About
I am the deputy editor of Amateur Photographer, working closely with the team to make the website and magazine as good as possible. I’ve been working on magazines since 1995 and am also a keen travel and portrait photographer when time allows, reaching the finals of the Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year contest in 2015 and achieving my Licentiate from the Royal Photographic Society the year before. I also keep my wedding-photography hand in by shooting a few ceremonies a year. I am particularly interested in how photography can help people express their creativity more effectively, or deal with mental health issues and other challenges.
