Thanks for watching.
Hi Paul. Love your channel. You have given me so many great tips that I’ve now started to venture into portrait photography for the first time. You explain things in a simple way that avoids the technical language that can become confusing. Many thanks.
Happy to help Peter, thanks for the great feedback and support.
I've watched a hundred of these videos, but learned more from this one video. .Great channel, and thanks for the tips
Thanks for the great feedback and support 😀👍
Good choice! The focusing system in that camera is really top notch!
I’m a beginner and bought the r50 camera after watching this video! You were spot on! Awesome camera indeed! 👌
I’m sure you will be very happy with it. I’ve certainly enjoying using it over the past couple of weeks - thanks for watching.
Great video, I just picked up the R50 a few days ago for the exact reasons you mentioned. I am brand new and outside of older point and shoot I mainly use my cell phone so I messed something Beginner friendly, but didn’t want to not have features I could use as I grew. I have been playing around with the settings and taking pics of my pets and just random things around the house to see what does what. I really have no idea of how things like IOS etc effect the image so trying to figure all that out has been frustrating a bit. Luckily I can set it in the auto mode that allows for some customization so as fool around with it I am still taking at least decent pictures.
I have noticed that if you get the light right it takes pretty darn good images for a beginner in full auto, but I like to tinker and learn. Camera settings are like learning a foreign language though lol.
Good video and advice Paul.
Thanks for sharing this video Paul-Great camera 📸 we appreciate it
Glad you enjoyed it Barry - thanks.
Very good tips, thank you
Great video, I think this is the camera for me.
love your photography videos!!
love your saying " ISO keep it low!!"
Thank you 🙂. In reality it's "When possible, ISO keep it low"... but that didn't fit on the T-Shirt !!! 🤣
Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.
Bedst wishes
Another awesome video!!
Helpful as always. Thinking of upgrading to a mirror less from the canon r7 which is my baby, but I’m getting more advanced and thinking mirror less is the way. I just wasn’t sure about the lenses (I love love love my fifty) but as long as I can use an adapter I’m good! Thanks again
Thank you!!!🥰🥰🥰
You’re welcome 😊
After being non dslr cam user for a decade, I'm considering now to get the Canon R50. it looks like such a wonderful one. I'm considering to get the telephoto 55-210 (might be 200?) and 18-45 kit. It seems like more than an entry level cam that people can grow with. I'm considering to just keep my Sony as a backup cam for low light photos. My only concern is the price of the lenses.
Hey and thanks again for a wondeful video Paul!
This is almost the first video in this channel I didn't like so much. Not because the video isn't good and well-made as always. But because I just bought my first camera earlier this summer and it's the EOS 2000D. So not a bad starter camera, but... missing articulating touch screen, focus points and some more. Also the screen is very small for my eyesight. The R50 was and is just way too expensive for me, although of course I could've bought it as monthly pay. The EOS 250D was a camera I was very close to choose, but at the time it was a bit too expensive. 2000D is still pretty good camera for a beginner for me, who is learning pretty fast. Picture quality is great. I think the main issues for me with 2000D are the small screen (I have +5,5 glasses and cant still see well up close). So the 7cm screen in R50 and 250D would definitely help me a lot. I didn't realize how small the screen in 2000D was until I already got it. So both, the 250D and R50 would be great options for me and especially my eyes.. DSLR cameras is still totally fine for me as an amateur, but the big touchscreen would suit my needs. And I still feel making a mistake for choosing the 2000D, even though I got it with the 18-55 IS kit lens, 16gb SD card and small camera bag for 399€.Sorry for the long comment, but this video really made me think.
Should I sell my 2000D and invest into 250D or even the R50? I've already bought some lenses for my camera which are: EF-S 55-250mm IS f/4-5.6 and EF 50mm f/1.8 STM.
I have all three of these cameras; they are all fine cameras. I cut my teeth on the 2000D. It was like basic training, and it will always have a special place in my heart. I upgraded to the 250D, which is an extraordinary "entry-level" camera that I use every day. Recently, I added the R50 to my stables and am as enthusiastic as Paul is in its quality and versatility. Frankly, I don't think you can go wrong with any of the three. Since you already have the 2000D, go ahead and learn all you can from that, and when you're ready, take a look at the 250D or the R50. You'll do great either way!
Hello! can you please share the exact adapter that you use for the lenses? thanks 😊
Hi Paul. I have been watching you for a while as I'm a beginner shooter, and would like to ask since I have the cannon eos T5 and want to upgrade to the R50, would my lenses from my old camera fit the r50?
I've been watching your videos a lot recently and I can say they have helped me tremendously with getting better at photography, I really enjoy your tutorials. For the R50, do you recommend getting a third-party adapter or straight from Canon?
Thanks for the great feedback, I'm glad you are enjoying the videos. I've not personally tested any third-party adaptors so I can't comment I'm afraid.
Hi Paul im from the Phillipines i been watching your videos ,and thank you for diff;technique in photography i hope i can buy canon r50 soon,,,see u😊
i am about to begin real estate photography. Taking photos of interior & exterior of houses. Is there a camera you recommend for this? Also a novice w/advanced beginner knowledge of photography
Hi Paul cam you recomand a Nikon camera for beginners ? Thanks . It is a pleasure to watch your videos!
Yes, absolutely. If you wish to pick up a DSLR then the D3500 is a really great camera and has been featured in many of my videos. If you've decided on a mirrorless camera then the Z50 is an impressive camera, however I prefer the Zfc which is almost exactly the same as the Z50 in terms of features but with a retro styling which I love.

Hope that helps 🙂
Do you think there will be a r50 mark 2 soon ?
Damn I’m in Sydney 😢 if I’m ever in Brisbane I’d love to attend your workshops!!! This video has just come in time because choosing my first proper camera can be so intimidating 😅
Is it good option for live
When using an external mic do I have to switch audio from auto to manual like I did using an external mic with a rebel t6i
Still have my Canon 700D, such a good camera and suits me.
mount adaptor ef-eos r What lenses can you use with the adaptor noob question
Good evening Paul , I want to my cameras endeavors , but my budget allows me to focus on 400.00 - 500.00 American Dollars? What Camera do I need?
Hi mate beginner here confused about the Canon R10 and the R50 kits which one is best the stores tell me different things, I am also in Brisbane.
Another great video, Paul. Question: Is the Canon R50 replacing the M50? You don't see much for the M50 anymore.
I have a feeling the M series will not be around much longer.
Although (as far as I know) there has been no official word on this from Canon, I'm absolutely certain that they are now focused on the R mount cameras and the M range will cease production.
Hey, I need some advice.:
I wanted to start photography ( so I’m a beginner ), and I was wanting to be able to take great photos. I’m leaning towards the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens, do you think this camera would be a good fit for it? .
Then EF50m f1.8 STM (also know as the Nifty Fifty) is a great lens and fantastic value for money. Yes it would work with the EOS R50, but only with the EF-EOS R adaptor. Alternatively take a look at the RF 50mm f/1.8 STM - this may cost more but because it has the RF mount you will not need to purchase the adaptor.
Hope that helps.
Great video. The R50 is indeed a very good camera for beginners but the RF-S 18-45mm kit lens has been almost universally panned as a piece of crap lens (even by Canon ambassadors). The RF-S 18-150 on the other hand has been largely reviewed as be a surprisingly good lens, especially for the price when included in a kit.
I just bought this camera and it was already over my budget but I just couldn’t resist lol but I’ve seen so many reviews about the kit lens is really not that good as the aperture can’t go low enough to make blurry backgrounds. That’s what I was supposed to use it for, product photography with blurry backgrounds. Do I really have to spend even more money to upgrade to another objective?😫 or how will this kit lens do for close up shots? Is the 50mm f1.8 worth it? I know it’s used at 8:43 but in the sample photos it’s still with f5 which also the kit lens has?
@@piahelens Given how inexpensive the RF 50mm is and the vast difference in the maximum aperture then yes, you will notice a difference. And for product (or food) photography it should be a good choice to learn/establish your style assuming you have the room to back off if needed. You should be fine and can look forward to a great adventure learning your craft. :)
@@boftx1 I agree with you and it will definitely give me a lot more to explore with, but I don’t think 200$ for a lens is inexpensive🙈
@@piahelens You should be able to find it for about $150 at most places new. But yes, budget is always a consideration.
Thank you for this video. Before I saw it, though, I purchased the EOS R10. Have you seen that one? May I ask, what are its pros and cons?
Hi I am looking at the R10 and the R50 and confused which way to go, are you happy with theR10?
Paul, Are your courses offered online. I’m in the USA? I have another question…do Sigma or Tamron lenses work on Canon cameras? Thanks ! I always enjoy your tutorials!
Hi Lynn, no online courses I'm afraid (but plenty of free tutorials on my channel 🙂). You can use Sigma and Tamron lenses on Canon cameras, just make sure the lens mount matches your camera type. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.
Paul @ Photo Genius
@@photogenius Thanks!
Does the autofocus work with the 50mm efs lens and the adapter?
Absolutely 👍
Would the Godox XPRO-C & Godox TT350C Mini Speedlite Flash work for the EOS R50?
I do not think so as there is no central pin on the R50 hotshoe. I would check with your local camera dealer.
@@photogenius Thank you. I've been trying to confirm with them. They said yes, but I keep reading I need an AD-E1 adapter.
Hi Paul, Nice Camera is this Canon EOS R50 the image quality is great as well. Liked the Red Chevrolet Truck and the pelicans, the colours really popped. I think this Camera would also be good for a Hobbyist, Enthusiast on a budget without sacrificing on image quality. It's also well priced and won't break the bank. Great video Paul thanks for sharing. 😃
Agree - whilst there are many other great starter campers around, for me this ticked the most boxes. Thanks for the support.
Paul.
@@photogenius Your very welcome Paul 🙂
Can I ask where you managed to buy an r50 for $800?
Second hand camera
looking at prices for this camera i realize the times of a real budget price cameras (400-500 us dollas or euro) is gone because of the rise in quality of phone cameras and popularity of social networks more people who are not interested in pro photography will buy phones instead of r50 so its not justified by the manufacturers to produce 500 even 700 dollar camera and I think in the next years the price of entry level cameras (mostly mirrorless) will rise up to 1000 dollars but it will be even more powerful that the current budget models
I’m surprised a 700-800 dollar camera is called "budget". A budget friendly camera would be like 2-300$ lol
@@piahelens more like entry level
So chepar than iphone 😂😂😂
Cropped camera's should be banned...
Buy a FF camera instead, older FF Sony's are 100x better then a R50 which also lacks weather seal and ibis...
awesome,include video review also ...
