Canon EOS R50 VvsSony a6700: Video or Viewfinder?

Both are 24–26 MP APS-C mirrorless cameras with fully articulated screens, 10-bit log video and a single card slot. The decision comes down to two things: the Sony a6700 has an electronic viewfinder and in-body stabilization, while the Canon EOS R50 V is smaller, lighter and shoots faster bursts.

Notes on 5 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1Canon EOS R50 V, 4K max frame rate (full width): Full-width 4K tops out at 29.97 fps; 4K 50p/60p uses a crop to 64% of the sensor's horizontal area.
  2. 2Sony a6700, 4K max frame rate (full width): Full-width 4K tops out at 60p; 120p 4K uses a crop.
  3. 3Canon EOS R50 V, Viewfinder resolution: The EOS R50 V has no built-in electronic viewfinder; framing is done on the rear screen only.
  4. 4Canon EOS R50 V, Battery life: Canon's CIPA rating uses the supplied LP-E17 battery with the LCD in power-saving mode.
  5. 5Canon EOS R50 V, USB charging & power delivery: USB charging requires a genuine (authenticated) Canon battery; unauthenticated batteries will not charge over USB.

Video: frame rates and crop

The Sony a6700 is the stronger video body on paper. It reaches 120 fps in 4K, though that mode is cropped, and it holds full-width 4K up to 60p. The Canon EOS R50 V tops out at 59.94 fps in 4K, and even that requires dropping to a crop covering 64% of the sensor width — full-width 4K stops at 29.97 fps.

For slow-motion shots or run-and-gun work where you want the full field of view at 60p, the Sony is the clear pick. The Canon is still capable for 24 or 30 fps full-width shooting and adds XF-AVC and XF-HEVC codecs alongside the standard H.264 and HEVC. Neither records raw video.

What is the problem?

Stabilization and viewfinder

The Sony a6700 has 5 stops of in-body image stabilization. That helps handheld video and lets you shoot stills at slower shutter speeds without a tripod. The Canon EOS R50 V has no published IBIS figure, so handheld work leans on lens stabilization or a gimbal.

The Sony also has a built-in electronic viewfinder at 2.36 M dots. The Canon has none — you frame everything on the rear screen. In bright sunlight or when you want the camera pressed to your eye for stability, the Sony is the more comfortable camera to shoot with. If you shoot from a tripod or prefer screen framing, this gap matters less.

Speed and autofocus

The Canon EOS R50 V edges ahead on burst speed: 12 fps mechanical and 15 fps electronic against the Sony's 11 fps for both. That gives the Canon a slight advantage for capturing fast action sequences.

The Sony counters with broader subject detection. It recognizes humans, animals, birds, insects, cars, trains and airplanes, while the Canon covers humans, animals and vehicles. If you shoot wildlife or aviation, the Sony's extra subject types make tracking easier. Both use a 4,000 1/s maximum mechanical shutter speed.

Size, weight and battery

The Canon EOS R50 V is the lighter, smaller camera at 370 g and a notably slim 45.2 mm depth. The Sony a6700 weighs 493 g and is 75.1 mm deep, largely because of the viewfinder housing and IBIS. For all-day carry or travel, the Canon is easier on your shoulder.

Battery life favors the Sony at 570 shots versus 480 for the Canon. Both use a single memory card slot and charge over USB. The Canon's USB charging only works with a genuine Canon battery. Neither is weather sealed.

The Verdict

Buy the Canon EOS R50 V if you want the lightest, smallest APS-C body with the fastest burst and you are comfortable framing on the rear screen. Buy the Sony a6700 if you need an electronic viewfinder, in-body stabilization, or 60p full-width and 120p cropped 4K video.

FAQ

Does the Canon EOS R50 V have in-body image stabilization?

No. Canon has not published an IBIS rating for the EOS R50 V, so stabilization depends on the lens. The Sony a6700 has 5 stops of in-body stabilization.

Which camera has better autofocus subject detection?

The Sony a6700. It detects humans, animals, birds, insects, cars, trains and airplanes, while the Canon EOS R50 V detects humans, animals and vehicles.

Can either camera shoot 4K at 60p without a crop?

Only the Sony a6700. Its full-width 4K reaches 60p, and 120p uses a crop. The Canon EOS R50 V's full-width 4K stops at 29.97 fps, and 59.94p uses a crop down to 64% of the sensor's horizontal area.

Are either of these cameras weather sealed?

No confirmed rating for either. The Canon EOS R50 V lists no water or dust resistance, and Sony only provides its standard note that the a6700 is not guaranteed to be 100% dust- and moisture-proof.
