Amazon's Prime Day sale ended yesterday, but the summer Walmart Deals are rolling through till Monday – and they include the biggest reduction there's ever been on Canon's newest camera!
You can buy the Canon EOS R50 V with 14-30mm Power Zoom lens for just $724.99 – that's its lowest ever price, with a huge saving of $205!
I actually can't believe this deal exists. The Canon EOS R50 V (review) was only launched in April, and it's super rare for a Canon product to be discounted so quickly – especially with the current tariff situation. But not only is it discounted – it's been discounted to its lowest price ever, in this bundle with the brilliant Canon RF-S 14-30mm Power Zoom lens!
I absolutely fell in love with the R50 V from the moment I used it. I have a tortured relationship with most so-called "cameras for vlogging", because they're actually just repurposed photo cameras that happen to have video specs. All the buttons are on the wrong side, they're the wrong shape and they have the wrong handling.
Not so with the EOS R50 V, which takes the 24.2MP APS-C architecture of the Canon EOS R50 but rebuilds it from the ground up as a purpose-built vlogging camera – just take a look at my quick video guided tour below:
All the buttons are in the places you actually need them for shooting video – including a big red record button on the front of the camera, for when you're self-shooting.
The body is box-style, as is the norm for video cameras, with mounting points on the bottom and side – catering to those who shoot vertically. Likewise, the menus and UI have all been redesigned to shift 90° when you use the camera in vertical orientation – an absolutely brilliant touch.
It's got a huge, enhanced microphone on top for superior integrated audio capture – along with microphone and headphone jacks – and it's capable of 24-bit 4-channel recording. The perfect complement to the 4K 60p 4:2:2 video capture, complete with Canon Log3.
And of course, you also get the snazzy Canon RF-S 14-30mm f/4-6.4 IS STM PZ lens – custom made for the R50 V. With an equivalent focal range of 22.4-48mm in full frame terms, this is perfect for vlogging and content creation – especially with 5 stops of image stabilization, along with the party trick Power Zoom function for smooth, variable pushing and pulling.
If you've been looking for a portable, powerful, content creation camera, this is a great setup at an even greater price.
