Sony finally announced the V-E1 camera, the camera features the same sensor as we have seen in the Sony A7S III camera. However, we do have some limitations like 4k 60p video limited to 30 m, no limit in 4k 30p mode. The New Auotframin is being used inside the camera. Let’s talk some basic specs, ISO 80-102,400 with an extended ISO 80-409,600 range, 15+ stops of dynamic range, and a beautiful, cinematic bokeh for photo stills and video. The SOny ZV-E1 ISO 80-102,400 with an extended ISO 80-409,600 range, 15+ stops of dynamic range, and a beautiful, cinematic bokeh for photo stills and video..

Canon R50 vs Sony A6400 – Before we begin I must clarify with you guys one thing Canon R50 is much more affordable than Sony A6400. The perfect competitor based on the price range of the Sony A6400 is the Canon R1 camera. But since I am getting a lot of user requests to compare the two (Canon R50 versus Sony A6400) So I am doing this comparison. But again price wise we do have a good difference between the two for entry-level users.
Body design – Sony A6400
Sony A6400 camera features a compact weather-sealed Mirrorless body and a bit smaller handgrip than what you might see in the Carbon R50 camera. The EVF placement of the Sony A6400 camera is also on the extreme left side rather than in the center as we see on Canon and even in Sony’s professional range of cameras.
The other main issue a photographer or vlogger may face with the Sony A6400 camera is the older menu system and a display screen with limited movements. None of these issues can be found in the Canon R50 camera. We have a full touchable menu design and very easy to use it also, other than that we have a vari-angle display screen.

Both cameras use FSI Sensors (Front side illuminated sensors), so the tech both cameras using not that new BSI or Stacked etc., and to be noted that the resolution of both the camera is exactly the same.
As you can see we do have a slight difference in the image quality, with Sony A6400 preserving slightly more details. So, you can manage it with bright lenses or with the help of external light. (Reason we have used Canon R10 here is Canon R10 and Canon R50 share the same sensor and the Canon R50 same not available yet)

EFCS vs Electronic vs Mechanical Shutter
Since both of the cameras use FSI APS-C CMOS sensors, the sensor readout speed isn’t as great as that of BSI Stacked or Stacked CMOS sensors we see in professional-level cameras, and stacked CMOS sensors have very high readout speed that rolling shutter effect almost nonvisible.
But, the readout speed isn’t that fast, in Canon R50 or in Sony A6400. So, it’s highly recommended to use EFCS (Electronic first or front curtain shutter). So, the Maximum shooting speed we recommend for Canon R50 is 12 FPS (with EFCS) to avoid a rolling shutter and with Sony A6400 u don’t have such issues so you can freely use top mechanical shutter speed up to 11 FPS. Since with Mech shutter, we don’t have such issues.

Which one is better for Recording video, Sony A6400 or Canon R50?
If we compare the video capturing ability of both cameras, then for sure I will prefer Canon R50 more due to its 10BIT Video capturing ability. Although the 10 BIT video is limited HDRPQ mode, as you know when ur using an 8-bit camera we are bounded into limitations even if you are allowed to have access to log profiles.
A 10-bit image can display up to 1.07 billion colors, while an 8-bit photo can only display 16.7 million. So, if u have the option when u can have a camera with 10 BIT output, you must grab it without having a second thought in your brain.

Without a doubt, we have to say the AF system of Canon is better compared to Sony since Sony A6400 is a 4+ years old announcement and lacks eye AF in 4K video mode as well as dedicated 3D AF object tracking mode is also missing.
For general-purpose work, both Camera AF system is completely ok. But, when ur about to shoot sports or record video it’s more important to use a Canon R50 camera instead of the Sony A6400.

Verdict: Despite of being a 4-year-old announcement Sony A6400 is an amazing option even in 2023 with balanced core specification and an open lens mount. If u like to buy a Canon R50 camera, kindly find out the lenses available for Canon R50 before you make the decision. If the lenses you need are available then you can go with them. For sports and wildlife shooters it’s more recommended to have a higher-end model like Canon R10.
