Canon finally announced the Canon R50V camera. The camera is composed of almost the same core specifications that we have seen in the Canon R50 camera, but it is more focused on content creators. It is a direct competitor to the Sony ZV-E10 camera, so it carries all the possible goodness that we have already seen in the Sony ZV-E10 as well as the Canon R50 camera.
The camera features a 24-megapixel CMOS Dual Pixel autofocus sensor with a DIGIC X image processor. The camera is able to record 4K 30 FPS uncropped videos and Full HD videos up to 120 frames per second. You can also record 4K videos up to 60 frames per second with a 1.5x crop. 10-bit recording is available but limited to HDR PQ mode. A headphone port is also available in this camera to monitor your audio recording, along with an upgraded microphone for better audio capture.
The camera will be priced at $649 for the body only, or $849 for the kit with the RF-S15-30mm, and will start shipping in April 2025.

Canon R50V official press release
For All Creators: Canon’s New PowerShot V1 and EOS R50 V Expand EOS/PowerShot V Series
MELVILLE, N.Y., – March 26, 2025 — Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, answers the needs of video creators with the new PowerShot V1 and EOS R50 V. Both cameras are part of Canon’s growing EOS/PowerShot V Series which seeks to help all creators, including cinema, livestreaming, vlogging, and VR, heighten their visual story telling.
Canon Reinvigorates Point-and-Shoot
If you’re a creator, you want the ability to pursue your own visual expression without compromising quality. Something lightweight and compact that can be used anytime or anywhere to lift your vision forward—a camera that works with you. Designed with a smart and modern concept, the PowerShot V1 is a reliable partner boasting key features including:
- A newly designed grip created for both normal and selfie shooting.
- Ultra wide-angle zoom lens—approximately 17-52mm for movie recording and 16-50mm/F2.8-4.5 for still imagery.
- New 1.4 type sensor with approximately 22.3 megapixels for stills.
- Dual Pixel CMOS AF II for PowerShot for improved AF speed and subject detection tracking performance when compared to the PowerShot G7 X Mark III.
- A cooling fan inside the body to help enable longer video recording.
- A still image/movie shooting switch for quick and easy transition—the first in a PowerShot camera.
- Continuous still shooting at up to approximately 30 frames per second, a mechanical shutter with a maximum speed of 1/2000 seconds, and an electronic shutter with a maximum shutter speed of 1/16,000 seconds.
The Canon PowerShot V1 is also designed with workflow top of mind. Creators can leverage high quality video calls and livestream on a PC with a single USB cable, and the camera works intelligently with smartphones—both wired and wirelessly—via the Canon Camera Connect app.
Cinema Quality in the Palm of Your Hand
A movie-focused, high-performance camera that can fit in the palm of your hand? Yes—it does exist, with the EOS R50 V. The legacy of Cinema EOS technologies is splashed throughout, making EOS R50 V one for all creators who have high artistic ambitions to take to the next level. Key features include:
- Video-focused design elements such as a livestream button, movie recording button in the front of the camera, and a tripod screw hole for vertical shooting.
- Dual Pixel CMOS AF II for quiet and smooth AF.
- Ability to shoot 4K crop at 60fps and YCC 422 10bit.
- Compatibility with the newly launched RF-S14-30mm F4-6.3 IS STM PZ, the first RF-S lens with built-in power zoom.
- Four different methods of livestreaming: UVC/UAC, HDMI, Camera Connect, and Live Switcher Mobile multi-camera.
- APS-C sensor and DIGIC X image processor for rich bokeh.
- Image creation consistent with Cinema EOS with five presets for editing, such as Canon Log 3.
Creators are not one-size-fits-all, and EOS R50 V was built through creator feedback to make content creation easier. With modern design elements, customization options, and a new lens bundled together, the EOS R50 V is destined to be in your gear bag.
