Canon R50V Impressions: The Best Travel & BTS Camera Under $1,000?

I Tested the Canon R50V as a Pro Filmmaker, Here's What I Found

When the Canon R50V was first announced, I didn’t expect to care much. But as someone who shoots both professional client work and personal content, I kept thinking… this might be the perfect BTS camera, travel companion, or even an everyday family camera.

In this video, I break down my real-world experience using the R50V — how it performed as a B-cam next to my Canon R6 Mark II, its strengths and limitations, and who I actually think this camera is for. From 4K 60 (with a crop) to C-Log 3, to the surprisingly solid autofocus and usability for both video and photo, there’s a lot packed into this little camera. But is it enough?

Whether you're a content creator looking to level up from your phone, a filmmaker in need of a solid second shooter, or someone who just wants a small, capable hybrid camera under $1,000 — this video will help you decide if the Canon R50V is the right fit.
