New Canon EOS R50 V could be the vlogger camera of the year

Canon EOS R50 V — Canon / Canon

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.

The new version of this popular compact mirrorless camera is now smaller in body, has enhanced video capabilities and is also more affordable than ever.

Plus Canon has unveiled a new RF-S 14-30mm power zoom lens which was designed for this camera specifically.

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.

One of the best TVs ever made is below $2,000, and comes with expert delivery

Panasonic Z95A

When you look through our current list of the best TVs, there are exactly two TVs that should stand out to you, even if you're a casual skimmer. The first is the Sony A95L QD-OLED, simply because it is at the top of the list. The second is the Panasonic Z95A, not because it's the runner-up (which it is) but because it's... Panasonic. It's just not a brand we see making winning TVs, but wow, what a winner the Z95A is. We immediately called it one of the best TVs ever made, something that will be apparent to your eyes if you get it. Now, what's exciting about this TV right now is that it has a low price. You can get the 65-inch version of the TV for $1,998 right now, a savings of over $1,200 off its usual $3,200 price point. You can even get a deluxe delivery and unpack for free if you select the right option on the sales page (accessible by tapping the button below). But, this deal has been around for some time now, since around the start of summer. With Prime Day here and ending soon, it's very likely the time for this deal to end as well. If you want one of the best TVs ever for under $2,000, be sure to tap the button below now.

An amazing TV under $1,000 has a sub $500 Prime Day price (and it’s ending soon)

TCL QM6K

We're now in the final moments of Amazon's summer Prime Day 2025 event, and finding critical last-minute deals. Here's one that almost fundamentally changes how you'll likely think about a product. See, we have a whole list of the best TVs under $1,000, a price point that a ton of people that love TVs just don't feel comfortable crossing. Then, we have a separate list for budget TVs, the best TVs under $500. Even though prices (which move up and down!) are quantitative data points, the differences between a sub $1,000 and a sub $500 TV feel almost categorical in nature, like the difference between water and steam. This deal take the $600 55-inch TCL QM6K (one of the TVs in our 'under $1,000' list) and pushes its price down by $152. This puts it at a price of $448, which is an all time low for it on Amazon, transforms it into an 'under $500' TV. Tap the button below to get the transformative deal while Prime Day is still here or continue reading to see why we liked it so much even when it was over $500.
