Canon EOS R50

82 Lemmy comments (top 25 shown, many federated duplicates) form a technical, workaround-oriented discussion rather than praise or complaints about the body itself. (1) GPS/geotagging: The R50 has no built-in GPS; geotagging requires Canon's mobile app over Bluetooth (users cite Canon support KB ART182896). One user (+1) could not get the Bluetooth pairing to work at all; others find it 'shocking' that a cheap GPS chip isn't included, and rate Canon's implementation behind Fujifilm's, which caches the last known position across on/off cycles so photos are never left without coordinates. (2) Shutter architecture: Users explain the R50 offers electronic shutter or second-curtain sync only — no full mechanical shutter and no global shutter (standard CMOS rolling readout) — so fast-moving subjects or panning can skew. (3) Lens ecosystem is the biggest complaint cluster: RF-mount glass is expensive because Canon banned third-party lenses until recently and still heavily restricts them; the kit lens is not teleconverter-compatible, and teleconverters are 'surprisingly expensive' while costing light and autofocus performance. The practical workaround users land on: a ~$130 EF-to-RF adapter, with one user confirming autofocus 'seems to work fine' with a parent's EF lens versus $300+ for a native RF lens. (4) Strong second-hand culture: multiple users recommend used bodies and lenses (~40% savings, warranties honored, 'factory checked' refurb programs). Net: no reports of image-quality or reliability failures in this sample, but the ecosystem friction (GPS workaround, mount lock-in, shutter limits) is what owners actually spend their time discussing.
