Canon EOS R7 vs R50 V: what actually changes
What changes for your kit, what stays the same, and the two drawn to one scale. From Canon's published specifications.
What changes

Choose by what matters to you
- The EOS R7 if you want every lens stabilised, or you want a viewfinder, or you crop or print large, or you want a backup card slot, or you shoot action in bursts, or you shoot in rain or dust, or you want more shots per charge.
- The EOS R50 V if weight matters most.
The lenses each one takes
Both take the same 62 lenses on the Canon RF mount, so a lens bought for one moves to the other. The EOS R7 is usually sold with the Canon RF-S18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS STM; the EOS R50 V with the Canon RF-S14-30mm F4-6.3 IS STM PZ.
