CANON EOS R50

Canon might not be willing to admit it, but the EOS R50 seems to indicate that the EOS M experiment is over. If nothing else, it's pretty inarguable that the R50 is the spiritual replacement for the EOS M50 Mark II.

The EOS M range of cameras sold exceptionally well, becoming the favourite tool of many a vlogger and travel photographer who wanted a small social media-oriented camera.

Whether Canon ever took the EOS M range seriously is up for debate - it released more camera bodies than it ever made lenses, and a new lens for the EF-M mount has not been released since 2018.

However, Canon has avoided repeating the same mistakes with its second attempt at a mirrorless camera system; in just five years it has released 33 RF-mount 13 EOS R bodies and lenses, and there are no signs of it slowing this pace.

And while the Canon EOS M50 will continue to be sold, the EOS R50 manages to supersede its predecessor in almost every way.

Key features

The EOS R50 produces 24.2MP still images from its APS-C-sized sensor, which is the same sensor that's used in the EOS R10. The camera is also capable of 15 frames per second continuous shooting speeds using the electronic shutter, which is incredibly quick and would have been unthinkable for a camera of this size and cost just a few years ago.

The EOS R50 uses the Canon RF mount, which supports RF-S lenses designed for its APS-C lineup of cameras - so it goes without saying that EF-M mount lenses for EOS M cameras will not work with this body, meaning that those hoping for an easy upgrade from the M50 or M50 Mk II might be disappointed.
