Canon EOS R50
The EOS R50 is a beginner-tier (65) APS-C RF hybrid with a 24MP sensor at 375g, positioned as a first interchangeable-lens camera. It's a clean entry point into the RF system for new shooters. With no IBIS and UHS-I storage, it's less suited to anyone planning to grow into heavy video work.
