About this item

Written by Crutchfield's Ned O.

A creator's go-anywhere mirrorless camera

The EOS R50 is a fantastic tool for content creators who want to take their creativity to the next level. It's got a compact, lightweight design and an impressive feature set that includes a 15-frame-per-second electronic shutter, 24.2-megapixel CMOS (APS-C) sensor, lightning-fast autofocus, and a built-in flash. 

Smart autofocus

This camera can recognize people, animals, and vehicles and track them during video recording. It even has Movie for Close-up Demo Mode that switches focus to objects held close to the camera's lens (sold separately), like a flower, objet d'art, or piece of gear for review that you want to show clearly. It's also the most affordable camera in Canon's R-Series mirrorless lineup.

A standard zoom to complement the R50

This super-compact, retractable RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM lens gives you flexible shooting options to capture crisp, clear images of whatever comes your way. It's lightweight as well, weighing in at a scant 4.6 ounces. It's the perfect lens choice when you're not sure what's next — a bustling street scene, a selfie with your best friends, or a candid group shot.

With its low-noise, stepping motor (STM) autofocus system, this lens also excels at smooth autofocus and near-silent operation —  especially helpful if you're shooting video with sound. Built-in image stabilization can help you take sharper photos, even in low light. Of course, the superb optical performance you've come to expect from Canon is still here in spades. Aspherical glass lens elements and special coatings make your images as sharp and artifact-free as they can be.
