A Solid Evolution of the EOS R50
As you can see, its fairly close to the EOS R50. There are noticeable differences when you compare the physical dimensions of the two cameras, but weight is about the same.
This isn’t a complete list of specifications, so there are still some things that will come out tomorrow when it’s officially announced.
The Canon EOS R50 V is obviously a camera for the masses and with the form factor change, will likely attract some new customers to the Canon APS-C range of cameras.
How Much Will It Cost?
The Canon EOS R50 V will launch at $649 body only and $849 when purchased in a kit with the new RF-S 14-30mm f/4-6.3 IS STM PZ.
The Canon EOS R50 V will begin shipping in April, 2025.

It's probably electronic for video.
If the sizing prediction is correct, it might be a nice replacement for my M6II, but I don't feel like spending R50V + sigma 10-18 + sigma 18-50 money on that idea :)
Only IBIS could make me change my mind. But I lives without it for decades. :p
Thats really a relief! Not because I am personally interested in this camera, but because these three offer a lot of options. In the past, not all cameras had a headphone port, though it would have been good to have one. Yes, the HDMI might not be a full HDMI port, but rather micro or mini, but at least you can charge your camera while using an external monitor, if you want to.
Image stabilisation is porbably not IBIS, but digital IS. I would be genuinely surprised to see IBIS in this camera.
- Less resolution than an M6II (but probably superior image quality with more modern sensor)
- 4mm higher than an M6II (might be an issue for my use case but could still fit)
- same battery as the M6II
- AF highly likely superior to an M6II
- APS-C fine, I got the R5 for full frame, it's a good combination
Questions:I might be tempted to try it if there are good, compact replacements for the Canon M 32mm 1.4, Sigman M 56mm 1.4, Canon M 11-22mm, Canon EF-S 50-250mm (which I just could keep using with the RF Adapter instead of the M adapter).
But I need those compact portrait primes. How about an M - RF-S adapter?
Just replaced the EF 100-400 with the RF 100-500, going full R on both bodies would bring the dual use of this lens back.
With a few disadvantages: no burst mode, more prone to flickering light, no external flash..
Still odd, I would expect a lower res sensor to perform better.
There are lots of Sigma prime and zoom lenses for crop RF
