Perspective
The Canon EOS R50 follows the design principles of the EOS M50 Mark II and EOS 250D compact interchangeable lens cameras, primarily their compact and lightweight construction, while incorporating the newer RF lens mount system and other features from previously released EOS R series cameras. The R50 includes the same 24.1-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, DIGIC X processor, Dual Pixel CMOS AF II focus system, and 2.36-million-dot OLED electronic viewfinder as the more expensive EOS R10, though the physical controls have been simplified to fit the R50's role as a camera for beginner photographers.[2] Additionally, features such as a fully mechanical shutter, sensor self-cleaning, and in-body image stabilization were not included, though the R50 can utilize in-lens stabilization.[3]
The R50 includes a fully-articulating 1.62-million-dot LCD touchscreen along with its electronic viewfinder, a built-in stereo microphone and a 3.5mm audio jack for use with an external microphone, a UHS-I capable SD card slot, and built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.[3] It is capable of burst shooting at a framerate of 12 fps with a buffer up to 42 JPEG images when using the electronic first curtain shutter and 15 fps with a buffer up to 37 images when using the electronic shutter. It is capable of shutter speeds from as fast as 1/8000 seconds to as slow as 30 seconds. When recording video, the R50 is capable of up to 4K UHD resolution oversampled from the full sensor width at up to 29.97 fps while also supporting slow motion 1080p recording at up to 120 fps. Its DIGIC X processor enables multiple modes of subject detection, up to 651 autofocus zones and 4503 autofocus points, and in-camera focus bracketing.[4]

Reception
The EOS R50 received generally positive reviews upon its launch. Engadget awarded the R50 a score of 87/100 and found it to be "a good balance between power and affordability".[5] Digital Photography Review gave the camera a score of 84%, noting its high-quality photo and video capture and its "impressive" autofocus system while deducting points for a lack of available RF-mount APS-C lenses.[6]
Some reviewers were more critical in their reception of the R50, chiefly due to ergonomics and controls. TechRadar gave the camera 3.5 stars and described it as "affordable, but limited" due to its lack of physical controls when compared to the EOS R10.[7] PCMag came to a similar conclusion in its review, where it also gave the R50 3.5 stars and noted that the small size of the camera made it difficult to hold comfortably.[8]
