4K UHD 30p RecordingThe combination of a large-format, high-sensitivity CMOS Sensor and Canon’s DIGIC DV 6 Image Processor with Over Sampling HD Processing enables 4K UHD recording with outstanding image quality. The DIGIC DV 6 Image Processor instantly analyzes a scene, taking into account dozens of image parameters to provide fully optimized results, capturing every detail while reducing image noise, even in low light. An advanced automatic white-balance system analyzes different areas of an image and makes adjustments where they are necessary to capture beautiful, natural scenes with true-to-life color. |
Genuine Canon 4K-compatible 20x Optical Zoom Lens and Wide 29.3mm Angle of View1The VIXIA HF G50 camcorder features a Genuine Canon 4K-compatible 20x Optical Zoom lens. It offers a 35mm equivalent of 29.3–601mm, with a minimum object distance of just 23.6 inches (600mm)1 and 0.4 inches (10mm) at wide end. Incorporating advanced elements and coatings, it helps reduce flare, ghosting and other distracting effects to deliver sharp, clear images with minimal distortion. |
Advanced Full HDThe VIXIA HF G50 represents Canon's Full HD System, delivering truly excellent image quality and reproduction for most any application. Its Over Sampling HD Processing utilizes the image data delivered by the powerful 4K UHD CMOS Sensor to enable Full HD recording that is nothing short of stunning. |

Intelligent 5-axis Image StabilizationCanon's SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer helps correct camera shake quickly, so even handheld video taken at long focal lengths can be sharp and steady. The VIXIA HF G50 camcorder’s DIGIC DV 6 Image Processor enables its versatile Dynamic Image Stabilization mode. Providing continuous adjustment throughout the entire zoom range to correct a broad range of motion, with extra compensation applied at wide-angle focal lengths, the Dynamic Image Stabilization system stabilizes rotational camera shake. Controlling rotational camera shake helps ensure smooth, virtually distortion-free video, even when you're walking while shooting. |
DIGIC DV 6 Image ProcessorThe VIXIA HF G50 camcorder incorporates Canon's DIGIC DV 6 Image Processor, which is integral to providing high image quality, advanced performance and convenient operability. This advanced core technology component provides the image-processing power and speed that enables features such as 4K UHD video acquisition, image stabilization and slow and fast motion recording. It also captures high amounts of light for brighter, virtually noise-free images even in dark scenes. |
8-bladed Circular ApertureThe VIXIA HF G50 camcorder features an 8-bladed Circular Aperture, which helps reduce the "starburst" effect found in camcorders with non-circular apertures. The result is that points of light in out-of-focus areas, usually the background of your shot, are circularly blurred, creating beautiful images with an authentic and artistic feel. The professional touch of a manual focus ring allows accurate and precise control. For extra flexibility, the manual focus ring can be easily set to control zoom instead. |

3.0-inch LCD Capacitive TouchscreenThe VIXIA HF G50 camcorder features a bright, 3.0-inch capacitive LCD touchscreen that's clearly visible with rich, natural color reproduction wherever you go. Its streamlined user interface makes choosing focal points, tracking moving subjects, and shooting and watching your videos easy and fun. Clear explanations pop up when selecting shooting modes and recording formats, so videographers can feel the confidence to create impressive videos. |
Tiltable Electronic ViewfinderThe VIXIA HF G50 camcorder features a 0.24-inch, approximately 1.56 million-dot color electronic viewfinder with approximately 100% field of view coverage for detailed, accurate composition judgment. The viewfinder can be tilted up to 45° from its normal resting position to enable a great amount of shooting freedom. Settings can be adjusted with the handy joystick, so you won’t have to stop looking through the viewfinder. Because it is positioned where the thumb naturally rests, you can shoot and adjust easily–even with one hand. |
Five Assignable Buttons, Joystick, Lens Ring and Custom Dial for Creative ControlThe VIXIA HF G50 camcorder’s many control features help make professional customization and functionality easy. Equipped with five assignable buttons for quick-access and custom shooting, the camcorder can be tailored to your specific needs. The joystick enables control of camera settings on the viewscreen without having to use touch panel controls. The manual focus/zoom lens ring allows you to make precise focus and zoom adjustments. A Custom Key and Dial feature allows you to assign functions to an easily accessible key and adjust the settings with a control dial. |
Slow and Fast Motion, including Interval Recording for Both 4K and Full HDSlow and Fast Motion Modes allow the VIXIA HF G50 camcorder to record a different frame rate than the playback frame rate for a fast or slow-motion effect during playback. Since the camcorder is recording real frames and modifying the playback rate, there is virtually no quality loss and maximum image quality is maintained. Additionally, interval recording allows you to record frames at specified intervals, providing time-lapse recording of up to 1200x and slow-motion down to 0.4x of the original speed. |

MP4 "FHD (1920x1080)" 60p (35 Mbps) RecordingWith the VIXIA HF G50 camcorder, you can record in MP4 format in 60p at up to 35 Mbps. 1080/60p recording captures twice the amount of information as 60i, and with images captured at a rate of up to 60 frames per second, diagonal noise is virtually eliminated so even fast-moving subjects show up crisply with motion and patterns clearly recorded. This greater sense of detail and faithful rendering of moving edges, plus enhanced color and fine tonal gradation, gives your video everything Full HD has to offer. |
HD (1280x720) Recording (8 Mbps)The VIXIA HF G50 camcorder supports 1280x720 HD resolution recording at 8 Mbps. Reaching approximately 7.62 megapixels, it’s ideal for film projects, weddings and more shoots that require high quality video production. |
Dual SD Card SlotsThe VIXIA HF G50 camcorder allows you to record video directly to widely available SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards with capacities ranging from over 32GB to 2TB. They are available in ultra-fast reading and writing speeds and make it easy to share video. |
[Disclaimers]1 With 4K UHD, the focal length is approximately 30.6–612mm with Dynamic IS On and approximately 29.3–601mm with Standard IS / IS Off. |

I tested the low light performance and it was much better than I expected. Since I film in my living room under studio lights with shadows I want to get the best low light performance I can reasonably afford so I decided to go for the G60 instead with the slightly larger sensor. If I was filming mostly in the day I would keep the G50. It's really a nice, affordable camcorder. I highly recommend it!
UPDATED: 5/30/2019
I took the camcorder on a recent 4 night cruise to Cuba. I noticed two problems.
1. (Minor)
You have to *really* push the record button to make sure you're actually recording.
I found a few occasions where I had the screen closed and hit the button thinking I was recording and then I'd check it a few minutes later and it didn't actually record because I hadn't pushed the button hard enough.
2. (Major)
In a practical setting such as walking around the ship while recording and aiming the camera at various scenes while walking around, I discovered later that it doesn't really have built in stabilization. If you want rock solid footage, you'll need to treat it like a regular DSLR camera that's recording video; hold it firmly with both hands and keep the movements to minimum with slow and steady motion. The ironic thing was I recorded footage on the GoPro 7 with the hypersmooth on in the same manner while walking around the ship and the difference was staggering. Canon should figure out how to incorporate that type of stabilization into the camcorder; maybe license something from GoPro.
I have both cameras side by side in the back of the sanctuary. One is a wide shot for worship and this one, the G50, is a tight shot for the teaching/sermon time.
This has enabled us to improve our live streams by making it feel more like they are in the room with us to have a close up.
The only downfall, and I think this is more with any camera in the setup I have, I had to set it to manual focus because if there was any lighting change, it would throw a fit on the auto focus, but its a good 50+ feet away from where I have it zoomed into, so there is a lot of room for change, but I set the manual focus and have no issues with it.
