R50 and RF-S 55-210
8

Thought I'd throw in a few shots from the weekend as this is a fresh lens. The R50 may share the R10 sensor, but the lens is new-new. SOOC JPEGs, which I might argue, is who it should be. RAWs although flexible, if we're being honest are to fine tune a shot. If the SOOC JPEG didn't need tuning, do you need a RAW? I'll leave it at that. I am a RAW shooter btw...

Really nice shots!   I’m looking to upgrade my M50 mainly for video quality to the R50 or something else, but I have no complaints about image quality in the M50.  Looks like it’s doing a great job!

raw could have helped here with highlight recovery

cool sunstar reflection going on in this one

looks like even with stm lens, subject tracking worked well in swing mode

the best of the bunch, this tele is nice in good light for these

where did the wheels go

it looks like you are enjoying eye tracking - Canon is really making its great new AF ubiquitous in its latest cameras

The video quality is fantastic. It had me thinking about IPB light on my R3. I say thinking as after testing, shooting ALL-I and then converting later on the computer does yield better quality, but, takes FOREVER. My computer was chomping most of yesterday on my R3 footage converting it for viewing on my Roku TV which doesn’t like / can’t take ALL-I.

The R50 footage on the other hand plays on the Roku without converting and is pleasing to the eye. Audio pickup is good for going Rode-less.

+1 to your thoughts here.

Seeing what SOOC jpegs are like is definitely useful (esp for the intended market, thx RLight), however for anyone willing to venture a little further, RAWs will make this baby absolutely shine!

I’ll get cooking with the RAWs, have no fear. Just have less time these days…

I will say watch the lenses, the R50 although spectacular outdoors in Sunny16, those new even darker lenses naturally do even more poorly indoors. My R3 ain't bitting the dust, not that I was planning on it.
