Canon EOS R50 Hands-on Review (is it replacing the EOS M50?)

Eos R50 Hands-on

  • 24.2MP APS-C CMOS Sensor
  • DIGIC X Image Processor
  • UHD 4K 30p Video Recording
  • Dual Pixel CMOS AF II with 651 Zones
  • 2.36m-Dot Electronic Viewfinder
  • 3.0″ 1.62m-Dot Vari-Angle Touchscreen
  • 15 fps Electronic Shutter
  • Movie for Close-Up Demos Mode
  • Vertical Movie Mode
  • Multi-Function Shoe, Wi-Fi & Bluetooth

DPReview posted their Canon EOS R50 hands-on review. They also tackle the question many are wondering about: can or does the EOS R50 replace the hugely popular Canon EOS M50 Mark II? DPReview says:

The similarities between the two cameras [EOS R50 and EOS M50 II, editor’s note] are plentiful. […] In short, they seem to be targeting the same user base of casual users, beginners and those seeking a small, simple camera.

So what does the R50 mean for the M-mount?

Canon hasn’t said anything official on what the future holds for the M-mount, but it’s been four and a half years since the last EF-M lens launch and two and a half years since the last new EOS M body. The M50 was one of Canon’s best-selling EF-M mount models and yet we haven’t seen any movement or new support to expand on the EF-M mount in years. Now, in addition to having no new news, we’ve gotten what looks like a direct upgrade/replacement of the M50 II, new and improved in every way.

The rumor mill is going wild. New owner, new momentum. Latest has it that Canon might announce a new EOS R camera in Q1 2023. The Canon EOS R50.

Please be aware that the moniker “R50” comes from the community, it’s not an official Canon naming. I can not say how this rumor fits in withe the previous rumor from the same source, i.e. that a Canon EOS R100 and EOS R1000 are on their way. The source suggests that the EOS R100 might indeed be the here discusses EOS R50.

No specifications so far. The Canon EOS R50 might get announced before the CP+ show in Japan, which starts on February 2, 2023.

Stay tuned.
