Canon is introducing a pair of budget-minded mirrorless cameras for people who want to buy into its RF lens system and shoot smooth 4K video but who don't want to pay thousands of dollars to do it.

The new EOS R50 ($680 for the body only) has a 24.2 megapixel APS-C crop sensor and can shoot 30 fps 4K video—it's $80 more expensive than the EOS M50 Mark II, but that model is tied to the older EF-M lens mount. The higher-end EOS R8 ($1,500 for the body only) has a full-frame 24.2 megapixel sensor and can record 4K video at up to 60 fps or 1080p video at up to 180 fps. Both cameras will be available in "spring 2023."

One key improvement of both cameras for videographers is that they don't impose a 30-minute time limit on continuous recording. The R50 can record continuously for up to an hour, and the R8 can record 30 fps 4K or 1080p video for up to two hours as long as your memory card has space for that much video (higher framerate videos do still have shorter time limits).
