Canon R50V First Test vs Action 5 Pro – Worth the Upgrade? 🤔📸🎥

In this video, I unbox, test, and compare the Canon R50V (video-centric mirrorless camera) against my long-time favourite, the Action 5 Pro. As someone who’s been using the Action 5 Pro as my go-to for gym content, vlogging, and everyday filming, I wanted to see if the R50V could take my talking head / A-roll content to the next level.
