Canon R50 vs Canon M50 Mark II

Before we begin, let me clarify that Canon R50 is actually a successor of the Canon M50 Mark II camera. As we have told you the successor, means from now on we will have models like the Canon R50 mark II, canon R50 Mark III and …, and no models like Canon M50 Mark III are expected to arrive.

If you are not planning to invest further in lenses, and just want to buy a camera for friends and family purposes with a kit lens, ur not serious about either photography or video, you can go with a Canon M50 Mark II camera.

Will a kit lens be enough? Nope, I always recommend u get at least a prime lens if you want to have output quality better than your smartphone.

The biggest issue is if someone who already invested in Canon EF-M Lenses he/she has no option left since the Lenses if the Canon RF Mount isn’t compatible with the Canon EF-M Mount. So, you have to make a fresh start with the Canon RF Mount.

So, you can invest in sigma lenses like Sigma 56mm F1.4 for Canon EF-Mount to best quality portraits, but do remember this also, it will be your investment in the Camera mount, where no further successors are coming (Under the same EF-Mount),

So, if budget allows you

I highly recommend you buy Canon R50, don’t invest in Canon M50 Mark II.

Sony ZV-E10 Mark II Rumors

According to the latest rumors that surfaced over the web, The camera will have significant updates in the video core specs, including 4k 60fps video capability and a Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization system, with an updated interface.

Update 25 June 2023 – Sony ZV-E10

Based on the latest trend, the Peak-time selling period of the Sony ZV-E10 camera isn’t over yet. It is so popular in the market right now in Japan that it covers more than 48% of Sony’s total Alpha camera sales, according to the latest report.

Until and unless the peak period of the Sony ZV-E10 camera is over, Sony will not put out a new model to replace the ZV-E10, which is already being sold in very large quantities and is one of the most popular cameras in the market.

Now, the expected time frame for the arrival of the ZV-E10 Mark II camera successor is somewhere around Q1-Q2 of 2024

Does the Canon R50 camera have No Mechanical shutter?

Yes, the Canon R50 camera doesn’t have a fully mechanical shutter inside the camera, instead of that we have HYBRID and ELECTRONIC. Shutter

Just after the announcement of the Canon R50 camera, I am getting lots of msgs from my users about why we have only two options on the shutter menu of the camera that say

  1. Elec. first curtain shutter
  2. Electronic only

But, when you go the burst mode, you have two options: the first is a 12FPS mechanical, and the second is a 15fps electrical shutter.

Ideal Condition to remove Mechanical shutter from your camera

  1. Condition 1: If the camera sensor has a GLOBAL SHUTTER without any lag, yes the camera doesn’t need any mechanical shutter.
  2. Condition 2: When a Camera Maker is using a STACKED CMOS Sensor inside the camera as we have in Nikon Z9, Sony ALPHA A1, or Canon R3, OR EVEN a re-worked FSI (Front Side illuminated Sensor) like we have in Canon R6 Mark II and Canon R8.

Now, these are the ideal condition to remove MECHANICAL SHUTTER completely from your camera.

THE BIG BUT

If your camera uses a slow traditional FSI (Front Side illuminated Sensor) and even knowing those stuff you completely attempt to remove the Fully Mechanical Shutter system from your camera it’s not recommended.

Since Both the EFCS Shutter and the Fully Electronic Shutter have some limitations. Specifically when paired with slow-readout-based sensors.

BASIC RULES TO FOLLOW as a PHOTOGRAPHER

1. If the shutter speed drops below 1/100 turn EFCS ON to prevent the front mechanical curtain from affecting your sharpness.

2. If the shutter speed goes above 1/1000 and you shoot a shallow depth of field turn EFCS OFF. The reason is that EFCS affects badly defocus characteristics of lenses when going above 1/1000

If your shutter speed is in between 1/100 and 1/1000 it is your call what to use. In general, when you do not shoot shallow depth-of-field portraits EFCs turned on is a good thing. When you put on the 135/1.8 or the Batis lens or even the 55/1.8 EFCS MUST go if you want nice bokeh

If the decision to remove the mechanical shutter from Canon R50 is correct?

Canon R50 vs Sony ZV-E10

Let’s talk about the body design of both the camera the Canon R50 camera is more photographer friendly with the EVF and the deep hand grip that is missing in the Sony ZV-E10 camera

As you can clearly see Canon R50 and Sony ZV-E10 have different design approaches, Canon R50 has a more traditional, like a DSLR camera with a deep handgrip and also EVF for daylight shooting, while the Sony ZV-E10 may have a more modern, bit more compactish design that looks more vlogger friendly. Ultimately, the best camera for you will depend on your specific needs, shooting style, and set of available lenses (Open lens mount or close etc )

If you are a photographer and looking for a camera that has a more photographer-friendly design, it’s better to look up the Nikon z50 or maybe the Sony A6400.

But we have to also remember that the Canon RF mount supports a limited amount of lenses since it’s a closed mount and in Sony, we have an amazing range of lenses starting from the affordable to the g master series and the Sony lens amount of Sony is open from 2011. so literally, you have to be very conscious before making your decision

AutoFocus Performancee

As you can see the number of AF points in Canon R50 is 4503 DPAF points for stills and 3713 DPAF points for Video. And when we compare it with the Sony’s ZV-E10 425 Hybrid AF points the comparison look meaningful less for a moment, but its not about how many numbers of AF points a camera has or fabricated inside it, the key factor of todays Mirrorless AF system in the Artificial Intelligent Algorithms inside the camera, and that’s the biggest reason why despite of having less number of AF points the AF performance of The Sony ZV-E10 is flawless.

Canon R10 – Fastest Shooting Entry-level camera

For the first time Canon has introduced an electronic shutter inside an Entry level body, now with the help of an electronic setter we are able Burst upto 15FPSbut, but sadly the buffer is limited to 30 Frames of JPEG, so you can hardly have two second buffer slot with the Canon R50 Camera.

Sony ZV-E10 camera has a limited Brust speed of 11 frames per second, but at the same time the buffer memory of Sony’s ZV-E10  camera is much more than that of the Canon R50, with the ZV-E10 camera you are able to record 116 frames of JPEG in a single Brust and 46 frames of RAW0

Since Canon R50 camera uses a Canon R10 camera sensor and the samples of Canon R5 isn’t  available right now, that’s why we are keeping the R10 image samples  in our comparison list, so you can have an idea how will R50 will perform against the Sony ZV-E10

BASE ISO TEST

In the base are you so test you can clearly see both cameras are performing equally well, the detail capturing ability of both the camera is good at the base ISO range.

HIGH ISO TEST

Now let’s talk about the HIGH ISO TEST of both the camera, As now you can see the Sony ZV-E10 camera is able to preserve slightly more details in some specific situations compared to the Canon R50 Mirrorless camera,  so for low light purposes of course Nikon ZV-E10 is bit more helpful.

Best Entry-Level Camera to Record Videos?

Both cameras share exactly the same video Resolution and frame rates, Canon R50 camera as well as the Sony’s ZV-E10 camera records 4K videos up to 30 FPS and full HD videos up to 120 per second. So, for the first time, we have a Canon entry-level model that doesn’t crop in 4K. Undoubtedly it will bring smiles in face of Canon users, those who are waiting to upgrade their cameras from Canon M50 Mark ii or Canon 200D Mark II / SL3 . But, at the same time in 3rd generation of making APS-C Mirrorless cameras, the ZV-E10 is more video oriented and focuses on content creator requirements.

None of the cameras have any time recording limit in 4K 24 and 30 FPS  recording video, but yes you have to carry extra battery packs says the batteries dry out quickly with these entry-level cameras when you are recording 4K.

Canon features  DIGITAL Image stabilization mode in VIDEO, which we see generally in entry-level cameras, the mode works but with a cost of crop and it becomes unbearable and painful to your hands when you try to vlog with the Canon 18-45 kit lens, the 18mm wide generates a 24mm equivalent focal length of a full-frame camera and after that, once you apply Digital IS Mode, you hardly adjust yourself in the frame. So, if you want to vlog with an R50 camera, better to buy the Canon’s 15-30mm Lens OR at least an RF 16mm F2.8 Lens. But, unfortunately, the RF 16mm lens doesn’t have OIS Support. To better get the 15-30mm lens for vlogging if possible. As you know, we don’t have many options with Canon since the lens mount is locked and we have to select from a limited range of lenses.

Best lenses for Sony ZV-E10

 But, the biggest surprise is we have a gyro image stabilization system inside the Sony ZV-E10 which works very effectively when you are shooting videos with the camera. Although using Gyro-based data is not that easy, either you have to use the catalyst browse software to stabilize your footage prior to editing, or Sony now also offers Catalyst plugin for premier pro software.

The range of available lenses is much more than you would expect, The Best Sony ZV-E10 Lens for Vlogging in 2023 is Sony 11mm F1.8 Lens, The lens captures a super wide 16mm full-frame equivalent look and a BRIGHT F1.8 aperture perfect for vlogging.

The Sony ZV-E10 also features a 3-capsule-based enhanced internal microphone design that captures audio much better than you would expect from a regular entry-level camera, as well as to monitor that audio you also get an extra 3.5mm headphone port. Which is not available with the Canon R50.

Of course, a Range of dedicated modes is also there which includes face exposure priority, product showcase, and skin softening mode for vloggers.

Best Camera for shooting Still Images and video?

Canon R50  overall design is more appealing to photographers since the camera also features EVF and a better handgrip, we also have an advanced AF system with AI AF object tracking mode and faster burst speed it looks ver impressive. But, at the same time you can see from the results of the High ISO Test, the Sony ZV-E10 sensor is preserving more details, if u want a more video-oriented camera with features like an advance microphone, dual 3.5mm jack, gyro-based IS, and product showcase mode, ZV-E10 best for you.

The Next BIG thing is Canon’s Locked lens mount. So, the range of lenses for an entry-level shooter is less (if you have a limited-budget lens ).

So, overall it depends upon who is buying the camera if he/she is a casual shooter. Not interested in having extra lenses and love the R50 design, then yes for you guys the R50 is best. But for those who are more serious with photography or video at the same time they have a limited budget, better to buy a Sony ZV-E10 camera (or A6400 is you are a photographer).

Canon R8 Camera Press Release | Major Specification

 

Canon R8 camera announced the camera features a 24MP full frame DPAF sensor, the same sensor we have seen in the Canon R6 Mark II camera. The Image processor is also the same, but the only thing that isn’t the same is the absence of IBIS. The Canon R8 features 4897 AF Points and 1053 AF Zones in the sensor. So, you get approx 100% coverage from your camera. According to Canon, the Canon R8 camera is loaded with more machine learning in its AF algorithms and inherits some of the technology from its flagship EOS R3 (but not the R3’s eye-controlled AF system). This should result in in super fast Autofocus Tracking performance.

Same as of the Canon R6 II, the Canon R8 also features enhanced tracking modes that are not only limited to ‘people’ and ‘animals, now you can also track a vehicle, cars, motorcycles, aircraft (including helicopters), and trains. Animal tracking also supports horses and zebras. So, the AF system of the camera is the best in its class. It’s capable of burst rates up to 40fps with the electronic shutter, though the camera drops to 12-bit readout to achieve this. Now, let’s have a look at the video core specification

The Canon R8 camera is capable to record UHD 4K/60p video via full sensor readout– no crop. It’s also possible to capture 4K/60p from an APS-C crop of the sensor. According to Canon, the Canon R8 uses almost the same heat sink mechanism as the Canon R6 mark II camera, you can record 4k 60fps videos up to 40 minutes without any issue. There are no time restrictions when shooting at slower frame rates like 4K/30p or 4K/24p. At Full HD video mode you can shoot up to 180 FPS.

Canon R8 Press Release

Canon Unveils the Revolutionary R8 Camera: A New Era in Photography

MELVILLE, NY, February 7, 2023 – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, announced today the launch of the new EOS R50 camera body, ideal for entry level users, and the EOS R8, an extremely compact, full-frame camera aimed at advanced amateur photo and video enthusiasts looking for budget-friendly options that don’t sacrifice performance. Additionally, two new RF-Mount lenses are being introduced to the ever-growing R-mount lens lineup.

EOS R50

Compact, lightweight and ideal for those looking to step up their video quality, the EOS R50 provides an impressive movie-shooting experience thanks to the APS-C sensor, with 4K video, uncropped 4K capture (at all frame rates), and outstanding Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology. With the addition of whole area tracking, subject detection, and movie-prerecording, difficult photo and movie opportunities can be easier to capture with a 24.2-million-pixel, APS-C sized image sensor. In addition, the EOS R50 is equipped with an eye-level electronic viewfinder to help achieve shot steadiness and ease viewing in bright sunlight conditions. A great camera for those who are looking to lean into interchangeable lenses, the EOS R50 camera can capture travel adventures, family portraits, sports, wildlife and even help a small business with marketing imagery. For those who are budding content creators, the EOS R50 will be available later in 2023 as part of a Content Creator Kit – packaged with a microphone, lens and grip. Overall, the EOS R50 is truly a jack of all content creation trades.

“The first time I picked up the EOS R50, I noticed how light it was. When I saw the footage, I wondered how the quality can be so good when it’s this lightweight in my hand. My mind was blown!” Bianca Matisse Taylor – Content creator and blogger

EOS R8

The EOS R8 — affordable and functional — is a full-frame mirrorless camera aimed at the up-and-coming video or photo enthusiast. This camera comes with class-leading autofocus while still extremely capable for everyday and general photography use. Equipped with a 24.2-megapixel CMOS image sensor and DIGIC X image processor, the EOS R8 is optimal for full-frame RF lenses — allowing enhanced wide-angle field of views when compared to APS-C sensor cameras. Extremely lightweight and compact, the EOS R8 shoots up to 6-fps with 1st-curtain Electronic shutter, and up to 40-fps with full electronic. For users who’ve already explored interchangeable lens cameras but haven’t yet broken into mirrorless, the EOS R8 should be the camera that takes them over the threshold to capture events, weddings, still life, travel and pets.

“My work is a lot about movement and not missing a beat with the fast shutter on the EOS R8 is so important to me as an artist.” Jasper Soloff – Photographer and Director

Alongside the camera bodies, Canon will release two new lenses. The RF-S lens line, optimized for the smaller APS-C sensor size, expands with the Canon RF-S55-210mm F5-7.1 IS STM lens. This is a telephoto zoom, giving coverage equivalent to an 88–336mm lens on a full-frame camera. The lens opens the door to telephoto photography and videography, with 4.5 stops optical image stabilization, and close-focusing that can fill the frame with a subject roughly 2×3 inches in size (at its 210mm zoom setting, and minimum focus distance). And it does all this in an incredibly lightweight and compact package.

The Canon RF24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM is a new, compact standard zoom lens for full-frame EOS R-series cameras. Ranging from true wide-angle to traditional “standard lens” coverage at 50mm, the lens is a travel friendly design with an extremely compact exterior. The RF24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM lens is just over 2 inches long when fully retracted, and under 3.5 inches when extended — weighing less than half a pound. Optical Image Stabilization, with 4.5 stops of shake-correction, further enhances its appeal for video and still-image shooting. It’s also useable on an APS-C sensor Canon camera, where the lens’ effective coverage is equivalent to what a 38–80mm would deliver on a full-frame camera.

The camera can also shoot bursts up to 15fps with full-time AF/AE support. The Camera is powered by Canon’s latest powerful DIGIC X image processor, the camera features 4503 DPAF points for stills and 3713 DPAF points for Video.
