Canon is launching a new camera next week, and I predict it'll be a vlogging-style full-frame model

to be a larger variant of the EOS R50 V body shape Canon has taken to social media to tease an all-new camera, and we don't have long to wait, with an official reveal set for May 13. The teaser, posted across Canon's social channels, is accompanied by the tagline "One camera, many stories" in the UK (and the slightly more flowery "Every moment has a story waiting to be told. One camera. Endless possibilities." for US audiences), and promises a 6am PT
/ 9am EDT / 2pm BST / 11pm AEST reveal next Wednesday morning.

That messaging isn't exactly subtle. Between the storytelling language and
the teaser footage which shows someone holding the camera at arm 's length and shooting using the rear screen it's pretty clear this is a
video-centric, creator-focused device. The teaser also appears to conclude with two red triangles forming a "V" shape, which would suggest this new camera is set to join Canon's existing line of "V" series models.

A photo posted by on Look closely at the camera's silhouette in the teaser
and a few more details emerge. There's no viewfinder hump and a tally lamp is just about visible two features associated with Canon's video-first offerings. Most intriguingly, the body appears to be noticeably larger than the current entry-level member of the V family.

That camera is the Canon EOS R50 V , which I reviewed for TechRadar in May of last year. It's a compact, APS-C-sensor mirrorless model aimed squarely at beginner content creators, priced at around $650 / 630 body only. Based on
the silhouette in the teaser, whatever Canon is about to announce looks like
a beefed-up version of that same design language and "beefed up" in camera terms often means a bigger sensor. The Canon EOS R50 V is a great entry-level video camera, but its small sensor comes with some drawbacks. (Image credit: Future | Sam Kieldsen) Why a full-frame EOS R50 V makes sense The EOS R50 V
is a solid starter camera. In my testing, I found it lightweight, easy to use and capable of producing lovely-looking video and stills thanks to Canon's reliably excellent color science. Its Dual Pixel CMOS AF II autofocus system is also class-leading for the price. But the APS-C sensor does impose some limitations particularly in low light, where the relatively slow kit lens doesn't help matters and the lack of in-body image stabilization means
you're relying entirely on whatever stabilization the attached lens offers.

A full-frame variant would address several of those issues at once. A larger sensor gathers more light, which means better performance in tricky
conditions and more natural background separation both of which matter enormously for the YouTube -and-Instagram crowd this camera would presumably target. Done right, it could sit neatly above the R50 V in Canon's lineup as an aspirational step-up for creators who've outgrown their beginner gear but still want something approachable.

The big question is price. If Canon can keep it genuinely affordable, it
could make a serious dent in the full-frame vlogging market . A more premium price tag, though, and it'll have some stiff competition from Sony and Nikon specifically the ZV-E1 and Zr to contend with. We'll find out next
