Announced ahead of its April 2025 release, the new model ramps up video performance from 4K at 30fps to an impressive 4K at 60fps, a key upgrade that brings it closer to Canon’s high-end video standards and addresses the growing demand among content creators for smoother, more cinematic footage. The new camera will be available as a body-only option for $649.99, down from the original price of $680, and as part of a bundle for $849.99 that includes Canon’s new RF-S14-30mm F4-6.3 lens. Additionally, the EOS R50 V supports four different livestreaming modes through a dedicated button, along with HDMI output and compatibility with Canon’s Camera Connect and Switcher Mobile apps—further underlining its appeal as an affordable solution for live streaming and digital content creation. Canon may be preparing to enter the pocket gimbal camera segment, based on a newly published patent that outlines a compact, stabilized handheld device aimed at content creators. Canon has reportedly filed multiple patents related to gimbal cameras over the past few years, with designs gradually shifting from experimental concepts to more practical, consumer-ready ideas. Canon’s potential entry could bring its imaging expertise and color science into a space currently led by action camera and drone-focused companies.
