Review on Discontinued Canon EOS 50D DSLR Camera Body for Sale by Bambang K Masruri ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Full compliance with the manufacturer's assurances, high quality.

On the bad side: there are questions about ergonomics, namely, why bother with a new control, if the usual combination of a joystick and a spinning disk (as on nickels and 1DX) won universal love. On the other hand, most of the keys adapt to themselves and it is not a problem to set up the desired combination. All this and the lack of a second slot for memory cards fit into the positioning of the Erka - it was cut down just enough so that it would stand between 5D4 and 6D2 in the lineup. Despite all the cuts and the fact that the camera looks pale against the background of competitors, the Erka turned out to be simple and reliable. When you start shooting with it, then the understanding comes that kenon has brought to mind all the possibilities, putting only proven technologies into the camera. Autofocus, although it does not have reportage speed, is amazingly accurate, the body and its dimensions, ergonomics, viewfinder. For those who are tired of adjusting and adjusting each lens on a DSLR, the Canon EOS R will be like a breath of fresh air. I don’t know if this is a feature of Dual pixel AF, but the glasses work flawlessly in terms of accuracy. The native adapter EF-RF supports all the functionality without any crutches, finally the EF 50 / 1.2 got rid of the shift focus and got the ability to focus almost anywhere in the frame. Well, a little about RF optics - the new glasses have made a small step in quality and speed, I've been shooting with the RF50L for more than six months - technically it seems flawless, although there are questions about the bokeh. The difference in drawing is about the same as between 35L and 35LII.

Pros
  • - Canon brand color - Very high quality EVF, see the picture in advance is a big advantage - Dual pixel AF in One Shot mode is accurate with all my Canon optics, almost full frame coverage for AF area selection - DLO in the camera perfectly removes the imperfections of the optics and does it on the fly - Comfortable grip, fits completely in my palm and the little finger does not come off - I really like the new design of the dials for selecting the mode and turning off the camera, the flexible configuration of most keys for themselves, this feeling of convenience is indescribable. The control ring on the lens and adapters is also here - such a simple thing and very convenient. - Swivel touch screen - The carcass is knocked down and strong, the feeling of a quality pleasant thing in the hands - wifi, I often use it to control the camera from a tripod - New RF optics - Despite the CIPA tests, the original LP-E6N battery draws more than 2022 frames from one charge in one shot. But of course, it depends on the manner of shooting, this moment was most disturbing when moving from the mirror.
Cons
  • - Branded beautiful color only in native DPP, mass LR / ACR is so-so (especially in red there are many differences), C1 (12) profiles generally give out brick shades (maybe they are fighting with competitors in the face of kenon). - No multi-position joystick - The touchpad is not as easy to use as the usual combination of a joystick and a round dial. - 4K video only with crop (under the super 35 frame format), I would like it from a full frame. Video in 120fps is only 720p, as well as the lack of autofocus in this mode. - No IBIS matrix stabilizer - One memory card slot - Low burst speed, rather weak for reporting - blackout replaced by showing the captured frame, in fact it looks like a jerk (Kenon, why did you do this?)
