Panasonic LUMIX G7
Score: 75/100
Canon EOS R50 Black
Score: 79/100Rankings

The Canon EOS R50 is a compact APS-C mirrorless camera aimed at vloggers and beginners, delivering 24.2 MP stills, advanced Dual Pixel AF II and 4K video with 6K oversampling. While its autofocus and video features are strong, the lack of weather sealing, IBIS and modest battery life keep it in the entry-level segment.

The Panasonic Lumix G7 offers a 16 MP Micro Four Thirds sensor, 4K video up to 30p, and versatile creative features like 4K Photo and Post Focus, packaged in a compact DSLR-style body. It's well suited for hobbyists and vloggers seeking affordable 4K, though its plastic build and limited burst speed keep it from professional sport use.
