- Global EOS R50 V and Powershot V-Series of Chambers Vlogging
- A new 14-30 mm RF-S feed zoom lens was also presented for EOS R50 V
- Powershot V1 costs the same as EOS R50 V with 14-30 mm lens
Canon has presented the new EOS R50 V together with confirming the global availability of its Powershot V1, which was announced last month only for Japan.
Both models of the series V are part of the range of cameras centered on canon vlogging, joining the compact Powershot V10 of aiming and shooting: we hope that more models will continue.
I had a two -day practice with both cameras before the launch, and you can discover if the fanfare of the compact camera is justified in my practical revision of Powershot V1.

The EOS R50 V, on the other hand, is the first mirror without mirror of the Canon series, and, as expected, uses the same APS-C sensor of RF and 24MP assembly as EOS R50.
Together with EOS R50 V, Canon launched the new RF-S 14-30 mm F4-6.3 is the STM PZ lens (£ 379.99 / AU $ 579). The PZ means Power Zoom: A soft zoom function ideal for video and designed for EOS R50 V.
Despite its different design signs, Powershot V1 and EOS R50 V with 14-30 mm lenses share the same launch price in the United Kingdom of £ 959.99, but they are slightly separated in Australia, which costs au $ 1,449 and au $ 1,499, respectively. Alternatively, EOS R50 V can be purchased for £ 729.99 / AI $ 1,169, or in a creator kit with lenses and accessories by £ 999.99 (the availability of Au of the creators’ Kit is TB). Sales begin on April 10, and I will update this article with the US price when I have that information.
Let’s look more closely at the EOS R50 V, and then consider which of the two new models offers a better value for beginner Vloggers.
Canon Eos R50 V vs Eos R50: a new video centered design
In essence, EOS R50 V includes the same EOS R50 technology in a body designed for video, with slightly better video features, but lacks a viewfinder.
Take your shooting dial as an example: there are a series of video options that include three personalized settings that you can save for fast access, but only an option for photography. The EOS R50 shooting dial is the other side of that.
It also has tripod assemblies for vertical and horizontal configurations and accessories, buttons record in the front and rear, a counting lamp, in addition to an angle angle screen for uncomfortable selfies and angles, with automatic sight support and vertical live menus. All of that feels quite high for a camera at this price of less than £ 1,000.
Other Video Practices include appearance markers, time code, power and USB-C load, microphone and headphones ports, false color, zebra screen and manual approach.
4K 30FPS 4: 2: 2 10-bit video over 6K, in addition there is a C-Log 3 canon color profile and recording times of up to 2 hours. It can increase the 4K to 60 fps box speed, while Full HD offers up to 120 fps.
Here is the same double pixel autofocus system used by the EOS R6 Mark II, offering detection of subjects and ocular for humans and animals.
The camera has a food zoom lever and can be bought with the new RF-S 14-30 mm feed zoom lens for soft video zoom. It is also a decent live transmission camera, with 4 channel audio and compatibility with the canon Live Switcher application for multiple cams settings, up to three EOS R50 V can be synchronized.
That is a decent range of updates for video -centered users of the EOS R50.
EOS R50 V versus Powershot V1
Unlike EOS R50 V, the Powershot V1 is a compact camera, which means that it has an optical lens of built -in optical zoom, it is a complete package. But with the Powershot V1 that costs the same as the EOS R50 V with 14-30 mm lens, what model makes more sense for the beginner vloggers?
With the attached lens, the EOS R50 V is a heavier and larger package, but not for much: its height and its width are not larger. Both cameras could slide into a pocket of the jacket, while the V1 could get into smaller pockets.
The EOS R50 V has a larger APS-C sensor for the new 1.4-inch sensor of the V1, so it expects a slightly better image quality in general.
However, you can expect a similar field depth and a focus on the fall of the two mentioned lenses, plus optical stabilization with a rating of up to 5EV. (Of course, you can buy different lenses for EOS R50 V for different looks, for example, there is a rapid sigma decent opening zoom and available main lenses that I have tried and that I can recommend).
Canon says that the Automatic EOS R50 V approach is better than that of Powershot V1, it also has slightly more powerful video characteristics, some of which were mentioned above. However, it does not have a built-in ND filter, as the V1 does, while the 14-30 mm (21-45 mm effective) is not as wide as 16-50 mm of the V1, the latter is probably more versatile for Vlogging, especially.
If you want a simple unique vlogging camera, the Powershot V1 probably makes more sense. But if you want a camera that can admit it as your skills grow, with the option of exchanging lenses, then EOS R50 V is a more serious package, for the same money.
