  • I bought the Canon EOS R50 2 weeks ago only to return it. As excited as I was when I got this camera for my RUclips videos and the occasional photo, I realized I needed something else. Tune in for the full story on why I returned the R50

    First off the R7 is a great camera, I was deciding between that and the R50 as my 2nd cam. I ultimately went with the R50 only because I wanted to see what an entry level RF camera could do (I don't acknowledge the R100 as its literally an M50 with RF lenses) and already had an R5. The Sigma 18 - 35mm F/1.8 is a beast on these crop cameras (second hand you can get them from $350-$450). For someone just starting out the price of the R50 is in the right spot for what its capable of. I purchased the R50 when it came out to be a secondary camera to my R5.... I've recorded every one of my RUclips videos with the R50 since. While it does feel way more plasticky than my R5 I expected that at the price point. What I didn't expect was how damn good the 4k video would look once you dialed in the settings. I've said in my videos many times that the R50 is a great camera for starting out content creation with limited budget or as a 2nd cam for anyone already on the RF platform as you can share the lenses. The R50 body only an a RF 16mm 2.8 OR the Sigma 18 - 35mm F/1.8 if you can spend a little bit more is a decent starting out VLOG/RUclips setup .

      I agree, I have actually considered repurchasing the r50 as a second body, howevery I shoot weddings now so I dont think that would be the best camera to go with as a second. Now im saving up for the r5 as the main and want the r7 as the second or if need be ill just get another r7

    The conversation was very boring, so I didn’t watch the entire video. But I was wondering why nock down a camera because you didn’t like it? I know everyone calls this camera entry level, but as someone who likes to take photos of the family and the wonderful sites of our earth I find this camera very useful and fun to use it.😢😢😢

    R7 is a better camera for sure. Better value too. You get more camera for the money. I’m more of a Sony guy. And would rather go with a used a7riii or a6700. But. That’s just because I really like the lens variety Sony has.

    Did you have the budget to buy the R7 anyway? People who use the R50 usually do so for budgetary reasons or they’re absolute beginners. The compromises between the R50 VS literally any camera above it are well known. I own the R50. If I had the budget at the time to get the R 7 I’d have just gotten the R7.

    Why not a R8 ? Canon makes great cameras so the R8 R7 R6ii R50 are all great. I just bought the R50 but I have 3 full frame cameras already. I bought it for family photography when me and my family are at the bar or in the backyard. And being a person of color I wanted a built in flash

    • @Theelockerroom
      @Theelockerroom  3 месяца назад

      Great question. R8 does not have IBIS. R7 does. Get more mp out of the R7. 32 vs 24. R7 has 10 bit video I believe the R8 does not. Even though R7 is crop and R8 is full frame there is, in my opinion, still some benefits that the R7 has that the R8 does not

    I got the R8 since I was stealing my mother’s R6MII and they’re the same sensor and processor. I’ve absolutely adored the R8 with only a few minor complaints (primarily lack of IBIS but I deal) I have really small hands and find the R8 pretty comfortable (especially with a cage) it’s also really small and light so I tend to take it out alot! I solved the battery issue by getting a Vmount when I know I’ll have long shoots which also balances out a bigger lens pretty well. I’m currently in the middle of rigging it out as a mini cinema rig and it’s coming out pretty well.
    I don’t regret my choice even tho I was going back and forth between a few cameras in this price range (I also steal my mothers R6mii as a B cam sometimes so them being basically the same base camera really helps)

    I got the R50 for 2 reasons. An inexpensive way to learn about mirrorless and 2, a small light weight camera to have with me in the car. Coming from a 1DMark ll brick the R50 is light as a feather, I did get a Neewer Metal frame to give me better grip. If I decide to stay with mirrorless I will get an R7 and an R6, but it I decide to stay with DSLR I will get a 90D and a 5D Mk iv.
