This combination is built for content creators, vloggers, and photographers stepping up from a smartphone, offering a simple, ready-to-shoot system right out of the box.
Designed for Vlogging and Everyday Content
This camera is made for shooters who want a lightweight, versatile system without a steep learning curve.

Advanced Autofocus and Fluid Video
The R50 uses Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, a highly responsive system covering up to approximately 100% x 100% of the image area, breaking the frame into up to 651 automatically selected AF zones, with subject detection and tracking for people, animals, and vehicles using deep learning technology. Video recording features include 6K oversampled uncropped 4K movie capture at up to 30 fps and Full HD high-frame-rate recording at up to 120 fps, along with UVC/UAC compatibility for use as a webcam or streaming device.
A Compact Everyday Kit Lens
The included RF-S 18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM lens is an ultra-compact, retractable standard zoom purpose-built for Canon's APS-C RF-S mirrorless bodies. It's well suited for wide shots, everyday scenes, and casual portraits, with built-in optical image stabilization to help smooth handheld photos and video. Its collapsible design keeps the lens genuinely pocketable when not shooting, making it an easy match for the R50's compact, travel-friendly body.
