Weighing less than a pound in a hand-wieldable form factor, the camera sports a 24MP APS-C sensor and DIGIC X processor that shoots a cropped 4K60p and 4K30p with the sensor’s full width. Accompanying the R50 V camera release is a dedicated kit lens, the RF-S 14-30mm f/4-6.3 IS STM, available separately or bundled with the camera. Canon is also introducing a new wide angle prime lens, the RF 20mm f/1.4 L VCM for hybrid creators.

The Canon RF 20mm f/1.4 L VCM ultra-wide lens for hybrid creators is joining a growing lineup of hybrid lenses for Canon mirrorless systems and becoming the widest option of the set yet is the RF 20mm f/1.4 L VCM. Designed to satisfy both photographers and videographers’ needs, the Canon RF 20mm f/1.4 L VCM is a fast ultra-wide-angle prime lens with a function-first build that caters to the hybrid nature of modern image-making, emphasizing high image quality, responsive AF, minimized focus breathing, and intuitive, silent, and customizable handling.
The Canon RF 20mm f/1.4 L VCM lens featuring voice coil motor affords quiet, precise autofocus ideal for use in video, with multiple lens elements and coatings to correct for aberrations and glare. The weather-resistant lens has a 7.9″ minimum focus distance, takes 67mm front filters, and has a user-programmable function button. The lens’s wide aperture and field of view make it ideal for low-light and low depth-of-field use with landscapes, architecture, astrophotography, and even action photography.
The Canon RF 20mm f/1.4 lens comes with a newly released dedicated lens hood, EW-73H, to minimize glare and stray light and give additional protection against impact.

Canon R50 V Mirrorless Camera with 14-30mm f/4-6.3 Lens

While the R50 V mirrorless camera does carry over much of its spec sheet from the original R50, the camera’s shift in design philosophy is immediately visible and it accentuates the new camera’s video-first approach. The body has shifted to a brick-like building block design, with sleek, rounded corners, a front record button, and—perhaps most important for content creators—a second, 1/4″-20 thread for mounting the camera in a vertical orientation.
The software doubles the hardware’s vertical optimization with shooting and playback available in the vertical orientation, along with auto level display during video recording.
To the predecessor’s video capabilities, the R50 V camera adds the cropped 4K60p video, along with Slow and Fast modes for creative control over frame rate and playback speed, improved subject detection in autofocus including Register People Priority, advanced video features such as Canon Log 3, and automatic exposure and scene modes for creators like Close-Up Demo and Smooth Skin.
The multi-function accessory shoe supports both LPCM 24-bit, 4-channel audio when fitted with a compatible microphone along with an external flash when used for photography. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities allow image transfer and review via smartphone, and remote operation when used with the Camera Connect app. The camera also has remarkable versatility in live streaming, offering four different modes of connection to computers, smartphones, and switchers.
While a video-first camera, the R50 V still offers up to 15 fps continuous shooting for photographers. It takes a UHS-II SD card and is compatible with the full suite of Canon RF lenses.
To complement the R50 V, Canon is releasing an optimized kit lens, the RF-S 14-30mm f/4-6.3 IS STM, available separately or bundled with the camera. A video-friendly lens, its 22-48mm full-frame equivalence comes with power zoom functionality, built-in optical stabilization, and a lead-screw type STM focusing motor for quiet and precise autofocus. It has a 5.9″ minimum focusing distance, making it useful in a wide range scenes and situations.
