“one camera body whose mode selector fell off while seeing the whales. (Canon R50, black, with the 18-23 selector defect…)”

Uses a refurbished R50 bought for $380 as a second body to an R6 Mark II and tested it as a UVC webcam with an RF 24mm f/1.8; it ran flawlessly for hours of Zoom calls.

“Took my new R50 and RF 100-400 out to an airshow and tried shooting planes for the first time.”

Travels with the R50 and RF-S 18-150 for its flexible zoom range and notes RF primes work great on it, though the crop factor limits them.

“I’m very happy with it—it’s a solid camera.”

Upgraded from a 250D to the R50 and feels limited by its UHS-I slot, small raw buffer, no mechanical shutter and no sensor cleaning.

The mode dial on their R50 broke this year; Canon repaired it, but they are now wary and have hardly used it.

“the R50 is a great camera and it’s pretty small. It does have an APS-C sensor, but I loved that camera.”

First camera R50 with a 50mm f/1.8 produces straight-out-of-camera photos much better than their latest Pixel and iPhone.

Carried the R50 around NYC for two weeks; smaller than their 77D with as-good photos, though they prefer their iPhone for video.

“It’s smaller and easier to carry around and stow than my EOS 77D and takes as good or better photos. However, for video, I still prefer using my iPhone.”

Six months with the R50 as their first camera; light, easy to carry, simple auto modes and many beautiful pictures.

“It is my first camera. I have used for half year and got many beatiful pictures.”

Their R50 had the same power-switch failure; Canon fixed it free as a known issue.

Moved from Rebel DSLRs to the R50, which met all their expectations with fine ISO control, a flip-out screen and amazing autofocus.

“i have larger hands and even then the R50 is awesome!”

“I have large hands and I ordered the r50 thinking it was like the size of a rebel t7. Boy was I disappointed. Image quality punches way above its weight though”

Moved from a Rebel XT to the R50 and shoots almost daily; great detail, great AF, fine low light, and the small size is a plus.

“I've been taking pictures almost every day after getting it and still haven't maxed out it's capabilities.”

As a glasses wearer, they can't see properly through the R50's viewfinder, so they mostly use the screen.

“I can't look properly through the viewfinder on the EOS R50 while wearing them, so most of the time I use the LCD.”

Owns an R50 and finds it overheats after about 30 minutes of 4K, though 1080p is fine outside direct summer sun.

“In 4k it will overheat after 30 minutes, so a record limit makes sense.”

Uses the R50 with a Sigma 18-50 f/2.8 without issues and likes the control ring after their M50.

“I have a R50 with a sigma 18-50mm 2.8 and I haven't had any issues really.”

Moved from a T7 to the R50 and finds it tiny and less comfortable to hold, especially with a telephoto.

“man this thing is tiny and not as comfortable to hold hopefully I'll get used to that.”

Their R50 developed the same stuck-shutter fault.

“I know it’s an old post, but I’m having the same issue with my R50.”

“I picked up the R50 couple years ago as my first camera, and it certainly did not disappoint.”

Had a blast with the R50 and 28mm pancake; a small setup that's easy to take around.

“I got an R50 and the 28mm pancake and I went to a local park and it was a blast!! It’s such a small setup and easy to take around.”

A beginner who took the R50 with the 28mm pancake on holiday in Italy; very small and light, and great on a budget.

“I got the same lens with the R50 for holiday traveling. Very small and light setup. Barely noticeable when it is on a strap.”

Tried their RF 100-400 on the R50 instead of their R8 and was impressed by the detail at 640mm-equivalent reach.

“the R50 might be small, but the detail it pulls out of this lens at the long end is incredible.”

Takes lots of nice pictures with the R50 and its kit lenses.

“I have an R50 and take a lot and nice pictures with the kit lenses.”

“That kit is more than capable for landscape stuff.”

Their R50 with small primes fits a crossbody bag for travel, though gripping the small body feels awkward.

“It’s super compact and lets me fit everything in a little crossbody bag which is awesome for travel/walkabout.”

Loves their R50's tiny size and built-in flash but misses a joystick and minimum shutter setting.

“When I use the r50 I miss the joystick. But I love the built in flash and how it's tiny.”

Their R50 is fine with small lenses but needed a cage to hold comfortably with a Sigma 18-50.

“I have the R50, which i bought online without knowing about ergonomics, it is fine with RFS 18-45 kit lens, or the RF 28 pancake”

Regrets buying the R50 over the R10, missing a second dial and joystick and finding it too tiny with their lenses.

“i bought an r50 and regret not getting the r10.”

A beginner having an unbelievable amount of fun with their new R50.

“I’m a beginner who also just recently bought an r50.”

Their R50 threw a shutter Error 20 without being dropped.

“I was taking pictures with my Canon R50, and then I got this error 20 when I turned back on my camera. I don’t drop it.”

“I have a Canon Eos R50 body that I love.”

Their two-year-old R50 stopped turning on after an event, apparently because of the battery-door contact plate, despite never being dropped or wet.

“My camera is only two years old, and it has never been dropped, exposed to water, scratched, or subjected to any hard impact”

Still shoots sports with their R50 after a year; the kit lens needs work, but with the RF 100-400 they've got some great photos.

“I pair my r50 with the 100-400mm f5.6-f8. It doesn't get the sharpness and background separation that the 100-500mm f4-7.1 gets but I've gotten some really cool photos with it.”

After a few weeks with the R50 and kit lenses, feels their photos look worse than their phone's unless the light is perfect.

“now that I’ve been shooting with the camera and kit lenses for a few weeks now… it just doesn’t look as good as the phone unless the lighting is perfect”

Nearly sold their R50 until the RF 50mm f/1.8 transformed the results and made them love it.

“The quality of photos from the kit lens to the 50mm f1.8 night and day made me love the camera”

Has loved a few years with their R50 and 50mm, capturing candid moments of their kids.

“I’ve got an R50 with a nifty fifty. It’s been an amazing few years with it.”

“I love my r50 but idk, it isn’t SO compact. It won’t fit in my pocket”

Sold their R50 after hitting its limits; with a pro's help they still couldn't get the images they wanted, and switched brands.

“I just sold my R50 because I reached its limitations.”

Gets amazing results from their R50 with the RF 100-400.

The grip rubber on their R50 has worn in the same way, even though they keep their nails short.

“I have the same problem with my R50 and I keep my nails short. I think this occurs if you have the habit of walking around with the camera in”
