A compact and lightweight camera, the black Canon EOS R50 is a highly versatile mirrorless camera with a sophisticated photo and video feature set.
- Equipped with a 24.2-million-pixel CMOS (APS-C) image sensor and DIGIC X Image Processor, the EOS R50 camera can capture images and videos with reduced noise, delivering clear, detailed results even in low light. Images look beautiful even when enlarged, with natural bokeh that smartphones can't offer.

Love the camera and the kit lens!!!
I've had this for about 3 months now and absolutely love it. This is exactly what I wanted; it's small, light weight, easy to use, has all the functions I could ask for, and it takes amazing photos! The camera and the lens are much better than what I expected for the price, I can not imagine what else a person could want at this price point. I love the flip-around sc...

Camera Overheats as an HDMI Webcam
Bought this on 12/31/23 to use as a webcam through HDMI. Canon said this is possible and won't have overheating issues. I was out of town and unable to test it until after the 14 day return window and within 1.5 hours, the camera overheated while using it as a webcam through HDMI. Canon won't make a return exception, so I'm left having to hope that a firmware update ...

This is a really nice camera, and if I was unaware that I bought a refurbished one, I would not be able to tell is wasn't brand new. I looks and operates great. Very happy with my purchase.

Great beginner/budget option but possibly a little too compact
This is a very compact camera and lens combo and very ideal if you need something lightweight and discreet to shoot with. I bought this for my wife as a beginner and upgrade from a T6 and it was easy for her to use on our trip to Europe.
The kit lens is very basic in the look and feel and we ended up using the RF 24-105 that I already had which made a huge difference, ...

Compact but Capable and Budget-Friendly
I was looking for a lightweight yet capable camera for video and stills. The R50 has proven pretty handy for both purposes and is definitely a lot more lightweight than the other setups I have.
The stills in particular have been impressive, with most pictures coming out sharp and detailed. It struggles with noise at higher ISO levels (3200+), but it has done the job w...

Refurbished value for a beginner
I really appreciate the value of the Canon refurbished kit. Everything arrived quickly and so far it appears just "like new" and appears to be operating normally. This is my first camera purchase in over a decade (I am a prior point and shoot only photographer) - I am really looking forward to using and learning with this Canon R50. I intend to mainly photograph landsca...

It's perfect for me
Great performance from a small package! Subject detection and eye tracking has been a game changer for me (coming from a DSLR) Low noise even when the ISO needs to be high. I have no complaints other than that the buttons were a little smaller than what I was expecting. Would definitely buy again! I use the 18-45mm kit, the 50mm prime 1.8, and the 100-400 (all RF Lenses...

Easy to focus and get the right exposure.
My first mirrorless camera. I wanted one so I could have some exposure preview in the viewfinder. A couple of things that I have not seen highlighted much in reviews... I'm really pleased with the programable control ring on the lens, which enables me to notice a need to tweak the exposure and do it without taking my eye away from the viewer. I am also really happy to h...

Great "beginner" camera for a good price.
I love my r50 so far, I'm a photography beginner who mostly just took pictures on their phone but wanted something more dedicated and higher quality. For my first "real" camera I think it meets my needs perfectly and I'm very impressed by it. I still need to learn how to get better at shooting manual but everything about it so far has been great, easy to learn, and easy...

refurbished 18 to 150 mm lens is as expected as a lens retooled by Canon. Works great

Great camera with room for firmware improvements
The R50 is an amazing little camera. It packs great image quality and video recording features into a small body. For my skill level, it has features and options beyond what I currently need. The flip-out screen is a very useful feature and worth the extra cost over cheaper models. Unfortunately, there are some firmware glitches that need to be addressed. Controlling th...

Wireless webcam software for streaming is terrible
Bought to use the wireless streaming with the EOS Webcam Pro subscription. It works at maybe 5 FPS and disconnects randomly.bought this to stream church service on Sundays and it's been a big let down
