Conclusion: Canon R50V vs Sony ZV-E10
The Canon R50 V camera features updated video recording capability, including 10-bit 4:2:2 internal recording and 4K video recording up to 60 frames per second. Although the Sony ZV-E10 camera has a 1.5x crop, the 60 FPS 4K mode is unavailable.
Even in the live streaming option, the Canon R50 V can live stream up to 4K 60 FPS. Additionally, in the body, you get a vertical mount to record vertical videos for YouTube Shorts, Instagram, or other media networks.
Even in 4K 30 FPS mode, you can record with a dedicated Canon Cinema US profile as well as 10-bit internal recording. So specifically, when we compare it with the Sony ZV-E10, Canon does excel with the 10-bit mode.
The only reason Sony excels now is the vast lens found in the E-mount. We have a range of options, and nowadays, even Viltrox AF lenses are available at very affordable prices and can be easily purchased for the Sony ZV-E10 camera. On the other side, in Canon R50 V, we have a very limited number of lenses, so you have to choose wisely—either go with a higher-priced Sony body like ZV-E102 and later buy affordable lenses or get the R50 V and pay for pricier lenses.
However, we will soon bring a comparison with the Sony ZV-E10 II camera as well.
