Canon announces new EOS R50 and PowerShot models for Malaysia
Canon Malaysia just dropped a huge update for content creators, rolling out a set of video-focused gear aimed at making high-quality production more accessible through the launch of the EOS R50 V, the PowerShot V1, and two new RF lenses – the RF-S 14-30mm F4-6.3 IS STM PZ power zoom lens and the RF 20mm f/1.4L VCM ultra-wide prime lens.
To start, the EOS R50 V packs a 24.2MP APS-C sensor which is practically similar to Super 35mm cinema cameras that delivers pro-level features like Canon Log 3, Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, uncropped 4K 30p recording, and 10-bit HDR PQ/HLG video as well as advanced functions like LUT support and pro audio inputs, making it a solid choice for those looking to step up their video game.
The dedicated movie mode dial, a zoom lever, a livestreaming shortcut, and an ergonomic design optimized for vertical shooting speak even deeper to fellow video creators.
On the other hand, the PowerShot V1 prioritizes compact video production through its large 22.3MP 1.4-inch sensor despite it being nearly double the size of a standard compact camera sensors, to go along with a 16-50mm equivalent zoom, an internal cooling fan for long livestreaming sessions, and built-in creative tools like a 3-stop ND filter and 14 color filters.
Canon also unveiled two new RF lenses with one of them being the RF-S 14-30mm F4-6.3 IS STM PZ (the one mounted on the EOS R50 V).
As the brand’s first RF-mount lens, it comes with a built-in power zoom to offer smooth, servo-controlled zooming, allowing solo creators to shoot product demos or dynamic scenes with ease. With up to 5 stops of optical stabilization and 5-axis Movie Digital IS, it ensures steady footage even without a gimbal. Plus, it can be remotely controlled via Canon’s Camera Connect app.
Meanwhile, the RF 20mm f/1.4L VCM is designed for hybrid shooters who need both high-quality stills and video. With a bright f/1.4 aperture, fast VCM-powered autofocus, and features like focus breathing suppression and a clickless iris ring, this lens is ideal for cinematic shooting. It also introduces BR optics to the f/1.4L VCM lineup, reducing chromatic aberration and enhancing image clarity—making it great for astrophotography, architecture, and high-res video production.
Seamless Connectivity and Content Creation
Both the EOS R50 V and PowerShot V1 are packed with features for modern content creators, including Movie Digital IS for stabilized shots, advanced autofocus, and direct USB-C webcam support. The R50 V even supports UVC/UAC 4K 60p livestreaming and multi-camera setups via the Live Switcher Mobile app.
