Canon's decade-old camera series is now history.
But while the R7 and R10 are more like, the new EOS R50 is clearly a successor for the classic EOS M50. It has familiar looks, feels the same , and has a near-identical model number. But the EOS R50 is also pricier and, despite the arrival of a new RF-S 55-210mm f/5-7.1 lens, currently shares a limitation that plagued the EOS M series: a lack of native glass.
But the reality that the new EOS R50 makes clear is that further development of the EOS M series has, unofficially, now ended. And this means that for hobbyists who are looking for a Canon mirrorless camera, the EOS R50 is the better future-proofed option – if you can swallow its higher price and current lack of native lenses.Right now, the Canon EOS R50 is only compatible with three native lenses: the RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3, RF-S 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 and the new RF-S 55-210mm f/5-7.1.
Buying a Canon EOS R50 does bring other advantages that help to compensate for its current lack of glass. Unlike a lot of budget mirrorless cameras, it has an electronic viewfinder , which is invaluable when shooting in bright conditions. You also get the same 24.2MP sensor and Digic X processor as the Canon EOS R10.
