Our Verdict

Canon EOS R7

Canon EOS R50

The Canon EOS R7 is better than the Canon EOS R50, which isn't surprising given that it sits at a significantly higher price point. The R7 is better built and has better ergonomics, faster burst shooting, a more effective autofocus system, and better video capabilities. It's much bulkier than the R50, though.
