I recently upgraded from the Canon M50 to this amazing Canon R50. Leaps and bounds better! The uncropped 4K @30fps video quality is among thee very best I've seen. Coupled with the tack sharp, best sun flare capability - Nisi 9mm f2.8 RF lens is an excellent combo for shooting real estate videos and photos. Full frame results at a third of the cost.

Hey Ken! For a beginner getting into shooting wildlife/ milky way/ landscape, would you spend the extra $100 and go for an R10? The extra dial and slightly larger grip is nice, but unsure if its worth it. Thoughts? What about growing in skillset with R50 vs R10? Which is better for a beginner's skill growth with $100 price in mind? Thanks!
@KenRockwellTV Жыл бұрын
I would, because I use those dials all the time. I also love the automatic leveling unique to the R7 - but it costs twice as much as the R50 and the photos are identical among three. All depends how much convenience is worth to you and how much money you have for this. See also www.kenrockwell.com/tech/is-it-worth-it.htm thanks!.

I just got the R50 and the Nisi 9mm f/2.8 RF lens. Absolutely amazing combo for shooting real estate! A huge upgrade from the Canon M50 and Laowa 9mm f/2.8 ef-m lens. I like the full auto mode on the R50 as it looks amazing on the viewfinder. But I have the Nisi 9mm f2.8 manual focus lens. I can't take a picture in full auto mode for some reason. Are there settings to allow this? Also wondering if you can do a comparison between 3 hdr bracketed vs full auto mode assist photos? I'm imagining closer results than expected. Blended hdr photos are tough to beat but this will make for an interesting test.
@KenRockwellTV 8 ай бұрын
Your lens is probably very manual mechanical aperture control, no electronic connections to the camera so the camera can’t control the lens. Thus the camera only can control shutter and ISO - full auto needs also to control the aperture
@piahelens 8 ай бұрын
Hi! 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 on close up shots?
@KenRockwellTV 8 ай бұрын
Set the 18-45mm to 45. Get as close as you can. Shoot in Av exposure mode at f/6.3 and see how you like it. It should work fine. The closer you get the more out of focus will be the backgrounds.

I prefer the R50 over anything from Sony. Remember that photography is an art; cameras don’t create color, people do. If a shooter lacks skill, as most reviewers do, the results will be random. See also www.kenrockwell.com/tech/2-kinds-of-photographers.htm thanks!

@@KenRockwellTV Exactly! I’m just a beginner with no skill of videography or editing. So I prefer a camera with great Auto Video Setting. ZVE10 color science is great! But somehow the video is not as sharp as my old Canon 200D (especially when I zoom in, the video quality gets worse). Thanks for your advice.

Doet it worth spending more money for Canon r10. I am wondering about the images quality or how the system process them.
@KenRockwellTV 15 күн бұрын
Images are as good. It’s all about having a bright finder (R50 is too dim in daylight) and just as importantly the R10 has all the controls and dials you need, while you usually have to go into menus or make a lot more clicks with the R50. If you use the camera often you’ll love the R10, if you only use it a few times a year, R50 is fine. See detailed reviews of everything about these at KenRockwell.com. Thanks!

@KenRockwellTV I do use the camera every weekend. And going through the menu it doesn't bother me at all. I think for personal uses, the R50 is just fine for me. And I will get just the body as I am going to by the rf50mm 1.8 as primary lens.

R50 is tiny and awesome for travel and birds and distant things and just about everything. M6 II is a bigger camera that needs bigger lenses with a bigger full frame sensor and better if you want shallower depth of field and need ultrawide lenses.

You should tell people that Canon claims that the camera supports UVC/UAC, which means that it can be used as a web camera via a USB-C connection. BUT... it turns out that the USB connection doesn't transmit audio - just video. (In other words, it doesn't really support UAC.) It's bad enough that the camera simply doesn't do something that the literature claimes it does. When I contacted them, they weren't interested in clearning up their documentation to reflect the truth.

I avoid obnoxious conditions. If the wind picks up the sand, I hide the camera under a jacket, and I don't stay out if the conditions are poor. I've never had a camera die on me, but I don't let it get caked with dirt either. It's hard to say. Thanks!
