Canon has just unveiled its new EOS R50 V as what could be the ultimate vlogging camera for creators.
Following the Canon EOS R50, this upgrade uses a V as it’s all about the video extras. While you still get that premium mirrorless camera setup, now this also pulls in some of the great video features from the PowerShot V1.

Powerful video on the Canon EOS R50 V
Canon is clearly following up its very popular PowerShot V1 – which vloggers love – with this newer R50 model. While the original R50 came with 4K at 30fps, this new version has been upgraded to offer 4K at 60fps.
It still uses the 24.2-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor and Dual Pixel AF II system with focus breathing compensation.
New video modes include slow or fast shutters, and electronic stabilization to smooth out camera movement while recording. There are also four live streaming modes including HDMI.
The grip has been redesigned to make it easier to use in vertical and landscape modes, along with that 3-inch articulated touchscreen.
All this makes the R50 V an upgrade from the PowerShot V1 in that this model allows for lens swapping.
New price for Canon EOS R50 V
The Canon EOS R50 V, which was originally a Japan only model, is now available further afield. The launch is planned for April 2025 and for the camera alone the price is $649.99. That’s $30 cheaper than the original model debuted for in 2023.
There will also be a bundle version that comes with the new RF-S14-30mm F4-6.3 lens with optical image stabilization, for $849.99.

Rotel’s DX-5 might be the compact and connected stereo amplifier you’re looking for
Don't have a ton of space on your media shelf for a big, honking integrated amplifier or multi-component stereo system? Rotel might have the answer with its recently announced DX-5, a sleek and compact audiophile performer with versatile connectivity from one of the best audio brands in the business.
With its modest footprint, measuring 8.5 x 3 x 9.75 inches and weighing 9 pounds, the DX-5 might not be a powerhouse in the wattage department, but its 33 watts per channel into 4 ohms (25 watts per channel at 8 ohms) output is delivered by clean and confident Class AB amplification. The DX-5 promises "pristine highs, detailed midrange, and deep bass," Rotel says, from its high-current toroidal transformer that is wound in house, making the DX-5 great for those looking for excellent performance in smaller spaces.
