Canon EOS R50 V

Cinema Quality in the Palm of Your Hand

Cinema Quality in the Palm of Your Hand

Melville, NY, March 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, answers the needs of video creators with the new PowerShot V1 and EOS R50 V. Both cameras are part of Canon's growing EOS/PowerShot V Series which seeks to help all creators, including cinema, livestreaming, vlogging, and VR, heighten their visual story telling.

Canon Reinvigorates Point-and-Shoot

If you're a creator, you want the ability to pursue your own visual expression without compromising quality. Something lightweight and compact that can be used anytime or anywhere to lift your vision forward-a camera that works with you. Designed with a smart and modern concept, the PowerShot V1 is a reliable partner boasting key features including:

  • A newly designed grip created for both normal and selfie shooting.
  • Ultra wide-angle zoom lens-approximately 17-52mm for movie recording and 16-50mm/F2.8-4.5 for still imagery.
  • New 1.4 type sensor with approximately 22.3 megapixels for stills.
  • Dual Pixel CMOS AF II for PowerShot for improved AF speed and subject detection tracking performance when compared to the PowerShot G7 X Mark III.
  • A cooling fan inside the body to help enable longer video recording.
  • A still image/movie shooting switch for quick and easy transition-the first in a PowerShot camera.
  • Continuous still shooting at up to approximately 30 frames per second, a mechanical shutter with a maximum speed of 1/2000 seconds, and an electronic shutter with a maximum shutter speed of 1/16,000 seconds.
The Canon PowerShot V1 is also designed with workflow top of mind. Creators can leverage high quality video calls and livestream on a PC with a single USB cable, and the camera works intelligently with smartphones-both wired and wirelessly-via the Canon Camera Connect app. 

Cinema Quality in the Palm of Your Hand

A movie-focused, high-performance camera that can fit in the palm of your hand? Yes-it does exist, with the EOS R50 V. The legacy of Cinema EOS technologies is splashed throughout, making EOS R50 V one for all creators who have high artistic ambitions to take to the next level. Key features include:

  • Video-focused design elements such as a livestream button, movie recording button in the front of the camera, and a tripod screw hole for vertical shooting.
  • Dual Pixel CMOS AF II for quiet and smooth AF.
  • Ability to shoot 4K crop at 60fps and YCC 422 10bit.
  • Compatibility with the newly launched RF-S14-30mm F4-6.3 IS STM PZ, the first RF-S lens with built-in power zoom.
  • Four different methods of livestreaming: UVC/UAC, HDMI, Camera Connect, and Live Switcher Mobile multi-camera.
  • APS-C sensor and DIGIC X image processor for rich bokeh.
  • Image creation consistent with Cinema EOS with five presets for editing, such as Canon Log 3.
Creators are not one-size-fits-all, and EOS R50 V was built through creator feedback to make content creation easier. With modern design elements, customization options, and a new lens bundled together, the EOS R50 V is destined to be in your gear bag.
