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.

If you have an LG TV, you might have received a major Xbox upgrade

An LG G5 OLED TV hanging on a wall in a bright living room.

If you've been debating buying an Xbox, you might want to think about upgrading your TV instead. Specific smart LG TVs just received the Xbox App, allowing gamers to stream games straight from the Internet without the need for a console. If you sign up for Xbox Game Pass, you can access hundreds of games in its cloud gaming catalog — and if through the Buy and Stream service, you can purchase certain games and play them, even if they aren't part of the Game Pass lineup.

There's a catch, though: you need to have a compatible LG TV for this to work. Xbox writes, "Available on LG TVs with webOS 24 or newer versions. This includes select 2022 and 2023 models which have been updated to software version 23.20.01 or higher, including 2022 OLED TVs, and 2023 OLED, QNED, Nanocell, and UHD TVs." The press release also states that LG smart monitors with webOS24 or later are also compatible.

Bowers & Wilkins debuts Px7 S3 headphones, teases Px8 S2

Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3.

Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) has just taken the wraps off its latest wireless headphones, promising better sound, noise cancellation, comfort, and other improvements. The Px7 S3 will be available in Anthracite Black, Indigo Blue and Canvas White, and are being touted as the brand's most advanced wireless headphones so far. But that title might not last long -- B&W has also said that its next flagship, the Px8 S2, is in the works and should be available later in 2025.

The announcement of the Px7 S3 has been partially affected by the tariff situation in the U.S. While B&W has fully launched the headphones in the U.K., where you can order them right now for 399 British pounds (about $531), availability in North and Latin America hasn't been confirmed. Currently, buyers are being encouraged to click a notify me button on the Px7 S3 product page to find out as soon as these details have been finalized. Strangely, both the U.S. and Canadian product pages display pricing: $429 and $599 CAD respectively. It's possible these prices -- especially the U.S. price -- will change by the time you can order them.

Moto Buds Loop preview: the most daring and sparkly headphones we’ve ever seen

Motorola Buds Loop

Motorola announced a number of new devices at a launch in New York, but while the new Razr Ultra 2025 is my pick of the bunch, the Moto Buds Loop are impossible to ignore.

Taking a design approach very similar to what Huawei offers with its FreeClip earbuds that became available in early 2024, the Moto Buds Loop have an open ear design and they come in two colours, one of which has a very sparkly twist.
