- Seeing is believing, and with the VIXIA HF G50 camcorder, you'll be seeing color and detail more dramatically, more intensely and more realistically. Combining amazing features like 4K with an advanced 20x Optical Zoom lens and more - all within a mobile-friendly design - the VIXIA HF G50 can help give you stunning video quality on the go.

How helpful... trying to show off the video capabilities of a 4K camera by posting a 1080p video file to UA-cam. It's like trying to show someone how bright the sun is by drawing them a picture.
That's impressive, professional 4:2:2 10-bit codec being used in the camcorder of this class.
I like how this guy attempt to make all these features look all flagship and advanced but in reality it's like a 2015 camera 😂
no dual pixel auto focus/dpaf. sorry canon, for me that's a fail ;-(
No 60 fps @ 4K, not even 120 fps @ 1080p - big fail. I am a Canon user, but looking at the Sony A6400 for 120 @1080p. 4K @30, and is cheaper than this new camera.
This is a video camera, not a photo camera, here autofocus without dual pixel has always been much better than in cameras with dual pixel
So, except for maximum zoom, is it better than the GX10 (at twice the price)?
The Canon comparison page isn't clear about the difference (except the GX10's 15x optical and 30x digital zoom).
The GX10 is far superior. The sensor is twice bigger than G50, that would give you more detail in your image and better low light performance. The GX10 can record 4K 60fps and 1080 120fps (for slow motion)
If you ask me the 4k quality showed by the G50 is pretty bad. I hope they upload more videos because I was very hyped about 4k in the G series. Cheers
Hello there! Between the two, the VIXIA GX10 is the more advanced model. While the zoom range is smaller by 5x, it does have a larger screen, Wi-Fi connectivity, a 9-bladed aperture, Dual-Pixel CMOS AF and more. However, the VIXIA HF G50 brings a lot to the table at its price point, so it is worth definitely worth considering. We hope this helps!
@@CanonUSA & semiheadbager - Thank you both. I was thinking sensor size was going to be a factor but the Canon site didn't show the size for both.
So it's literally G30 with new 4K sensor,with time lapse function added,and all else the same? Then I see no reason to ditch my good old G30 then.
(1080i is still the broadcast standard in my country,go figure...)
This would be a great camera for $299US.
Slow motion in 4k not possible, thats a minor thing on the camcorder, slow motion only in full HD mode, 4k only in 25.00p why not a choice 25.00p or 50.00p, may be possible by an update ??
F thosr camcorders get some good dlsr or mirrless. My school has 18.000 members, we use to have 500 members on the film part all using canon cameras and lenses, now we are all switching to sony a7iii
Why is there no app?
Because there's no WiFi.
@CanonUSA Why not? It's 2023? I love the camera but would have expected this in 2023.
Cost how much?
Hi there! For current pricing and availability, head over to Canon.us/ja4gj We hope this helps!
About $1000. It’s on their web.
Could U upload videos to your iPhone over WiFi
Hi, Cesar! The VIXIA HF G50 is designed to communicate with computers via a USB cable. Hope that helps!
Iphone is doing MUCH better quality, then you made Canon! 4K That are you show in this video is downsampling ion youtube in 1080 ! WTF ? Look at the chromatik abberation at 01:32 (on the bird) I think in Canon working OLD peoples that stuck at 1990
There seems to be no true innovation anymore and not just with Canon but with all the camera makers!
You run out of innovation sooner or later only so much you can do.
Really Canon? Are you still trying to explain the difference between 4K and HD? Even if the camcorders are not all that advanced, hire better scriptwriters. IS does not see good enough. And better images could have been used in this pitch.
This model doesn’t have the filters like the vixia hf g20?
Hi Bob,
The HF G50 has Looks and Custom Picture settings that will allow you to select and create specific appearances for your video. These can be saved as pre-sets and applied to your recordings. These are not the exact same Cinema - Look filters that were options on the HF G20.
We hope this helps.
The 1/2.3-inch Sensor is the smallest and 1080p only 60p is nogo for 2019 and not for 1100 $ 🙄🙄
They should have just made a cheaper version of the GX10.
Wedding photographer here,i bought this and it was awesome,though if you are a full time photographer (im a photographer for fun)i would recommend higher price cameras as they would most likely be better
I have the sony pxw z190 4k 60fps
How is the very slow zoom speed, and auto focus please? .. I'm interested in that exact camera. Thanks, J.S.
How long can one record with this Video Recorder, if I use memory cards on both slots?
Hi, Amurthur! The VIXIA HF G50 doesn't have a recording time limit. As long as the camera has power and there's room on your memory card, you can keep right on going. Total recording time will depend on your memory card's available space. Hope this helps!
Canon thinks we're stupid 😂😂
Anyone know if the format this records in for both video and audio is compatible with samsung note 10 plus? Thanks.
what a rip off this camera for the price and year. X53 from sony is much better and older, and cheaper. oh! and has wiifii, video output in 1080p(not1080i like this canon), and lowspeed shooting up to 120p. Are we in 2019 or not?
I am canon user but i think now sony is good
Love my Vixia HF-R800. Want this new one BADLY :-P
Yeah how is the vixia r800. Is the night mode good
What kind of Mic, if any, can be attached to the G50?
Hi Trey! The VIXIA HF G50 has a 3.5mm stereo-mini jack for MIC and LINE level inputs. We hope this helps!
I'm more excited about the 720 at 60p, it's supposed to have an improved quality over the EOS RP
Im quitting Canon for Sony
what is with the strange ghosting effect with the footage that has people in it? the kid was blurry while he was running to the door
Same.
I love Canon cameras.
But.
I bought the HF G21 and returned it because there's was a slight ghosting issue.
The image was pretty good. But the ghosting issue I couldn't stand.
I think that his camera is good only for local events, vlogging, and presentations and not for pro studio right ?
Hello! The VIXIA HF G50 is great for recording those important moments, vlogging and making presentations. However, if you are looking for something more for professional use, you may consider a model in our XA-Series or XF-Series, such as the XA15 or the XF405. We hope this helps!
CanonUSA is the xa15 better?
@@CanonUSA hi sir i bought vixiahfg50 on December 2019. But past week 03/2020 it doesn't work it's zoom button and also it shows blur in screen when i try to take video.so please help me to fix. Thank you.
*Why many camcorders record videos by decimal frame rates, 23.98, 29.97, or 59.98 fps? Most smartphones record videos & video cameras by integer frame rates 30, 60, 120 fps. I prefer integer frame rates over decimal frames rates for video editing on computers for better quality with no flickers.* I compare decimal frame rates like interlaced videos and integer frame rates like progressive videos.
Hi there. The 23.98, 29.97, and 59.98 frame rates are standards that have stuck around in video production from a time when color television broadcasting was beginning. The slight, unnoticeable difference was introduced to help with the transmission of color information. We hope this helps!
@@CanonUSA Thank you.
Still not as good as the Sony AX33 released back in 2015. Proving once again the old adage "every four years Canon releases a four year old camera".
When the screen is flipped to front facing selfie mode does the touch screen still work and will a red dot show when recording face forward? (as with dslr)??
Hi, Joe! The touch screen feature works even when the screen is facing forward and it will also show the red dot on the screen when you're recording.
Hope this helps!
@@CanonUSA definitely thanks 👍👍
What about 4K HDR?
Is video a joke to you? Are your customer a joke to you? I'm happy to say just sold my 5diii with most of the lenses and got myself a Sony A7iii
I am hesitating buying a canon camcorder again, because I bought a canon vixia hf s21 8 years ago I paid 1,300 and when I went to a parade in Manhattan 2018 I recorded for 4 hours, when I get home and I turned on my camcorder I saw a purple horizontal lines on the lcd I visited canon's website they say: "Please be advised that repair service is no longer available for this product". I feel disappointed.
Looking forward to this camera. I hope they fixed the zoom rocker issue. I had three of the previous models (1 G30 and 2 G40's) that all started zooming out on their own. They wanted $400 each to repair.
I have the same issue on my G30.
i want to buy this one for my channel ....................
What’s a good shotgun mic for this
How is the sound quality for shooing band videos with a sound board patch?
Hi Les,
Our XA series camcorders, such as the XA50/55 are specifically designed with Input terminals to accept professional, line-in audio sources such as sound boards. Inputs that you would use with HF G50 would have to use the 3.5mm stereo min plug. Our camcorder support agents would be happy to discuss this with you in detail. For support, please register your product to under your Canon Account at the link: Canon.us/mcahy. Once you log into your account, click the [Service & Support] link and select the support method.
We hope this helps.
@@CanonUSA hi!!! we are looking for a video camera for live-streaming.... we were told g50 is good. but we won't be using any fancy settings as it will just be a fixed camera in our yoga studio. is this the right one for us? is there one less expensive that might do the same thing? can you email us yogashackinfo@gmail.com response
why this Video is only 1080p, it should be in 4K. How can we know how good this Camera is...
this or Panasonic HC-VXF11EG-K that one is cheaper to ?
Too big camcorder 😑😑 why you dont put the video feature to the Eos R?
Is this 422 10bit 30p 4k out HDMI or is it 422 10bit 30p 4k downsampled to 1080p 30p. I own g30 hooked at atomos ninja 2. My ninja 2 can capture 10bit.
And one more question. Can you force output to send 1080p thru HDMI out so I don't have to upgrade my atomos.
Hello:
The Vixia HF G50 will record UHD 3840x2160 at either 29.97P or 23.98P, to the memory card. When outputting video, while recording, through the HDMI, the maximum resolution is 1920 x 1080. You can view the output options for the camcorder on page 90 of the instruction manual. Here is a shortcut to the manual: Canon.us/c8gp6. You can output UHD 3840 x 2160, 8-bit from the HDMI during video Playback.
We hope this is helpful.
Cool so 4k live record = 8bit 422 1080p out for option to backup on atomos recorder.
The option I like is recording internal 1080p 24 30 or 60 will output 24 30 and 60p in 422 10bit!
That's even better Canon c100. And everyone knows a 4k to 1080p sample which this camcorder does results in a way cleaner sharper 1080p recording as this camcorder uses the full 4 k sensor like c100 to capture or downsample into a 1080p space. I might upgrade.....
Did you fix the zoom issues that the g40 had? I had to downgrade to a g20 because after buying a g40 you discontinued it and no repairs to be done!
Only asking since the zoom toggle looks same on the 40
Auto zoom?
No.. auto unzooming.. would un zoom while trying to film. They seem to not care
That’s what I meant sorry. I have an XA 20 that needs repair because of that issue.
Yup.. all they do is replace with a part that becomes faulty again. Good luck. I exchanged my g40 when I had the chance.
When will it come to Europe?
Hi!
To check the availability of the VIXIA HF G50 or its equivalent LEGRIA model in Europe, we recommend checking with the Canon company that serves your country. Just visit canon.us/ta6a and choose your country or region from the map.
Hope this helps!
My use case involves videos of subjects in a manufacturing setting. I will need to record audio via wireless method. Does this device take external audio from a wireless source such as RodeLink?
Hi Amurthur:
The camcorder will accept external audio via the 3.5mm MIC jack. This can be connected to the receiver unit on a wireless setup. You will want to check with the manufacturer of your wireless mic set for final compatibility information.
We hope this helps.
Anyone here use macos Catalina for uploading videos from the SD cards captured with this camera? If so any issues?
Hi! If you've got any questions regarding how to upload the videos from your VIXIA HF G50, our US-based support squad will be happy to help. Give them a call weekdays at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666).
Hope to help you soon!
I have a question, does the screen do selfie mode?
Hi! You can turn the LCD screen on your VIXIA HF G50 to face the front of the camera, letting you see yourself with ease.
Hope this helps!
@@CanonUSA thanks, I'm subbing now then
I have the Vixia HF G50 camcorder and wanting to plug it into any monitor like a standard computer monitor that has HDMI input on it and when i do, it won't display what the camera is viewing currently in camera mode. It doesn't show anything. Nor will it show the video that i replay on the camcorder when in movie mode. Is there specific monitors that allow me to view what the small lcd screen shows thats built into the camera?
Hi, Mark! You may want to try connecting your VIXIA HF G50 to another monitor, such as regular HDTV set instead of a computer monitor, to see if that works. If it does, then it's possible that your computer monitor might not be compatible with the camcorder. Otherwise, if you're unable to get a picture on either screen, you'll want to call our US-based support squad for additional guidance. They're available weekdays at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666).
Hope this helps!
I always wonder if it be cool to see a difference 720p g50 vs 720p regular camcorder?
I assume that 4K also includes 24p?
I suppose it's still not compatible with the XLR handle, is it?
Hi Daniel,
You can record 4K at 30P (29.97P) and 24P (23.98P). Full specifications for the camcorder are here: canon.us/3fMZu9p If you need the functionality of an XLR handle unit, you will want to check out our XA series camcorders. Our friendly sales team is happy to provide information. You can reach them at: canon.us/SalesHelp
We hope this information helps.
Can I take pictures with this camera? I need it both for videos and photography 😁
Hi! While the VIXIA HF G50 is designed primarily for video, you can also take photos with it. Hope this helps!
Who even need those anymore?
@Der Hof 2007 Actually i was thinking of dslrs but what is mindless about phones?
@Der Hof 2007 maybe you are just old?
@Der Hof 2007 Well thats an opinion :)
@Der Hof 2007 I watched it because it show up on my suggestion and I didn't have anything better to do I guess. :)
I do film mostly with phones now days but i played with several camcorders, DSLRs and so on.
Right now i own Sony a6300, Canon 500N SLR, Polaroid 600 and several other toys...
I am not making money on anything i do with that stuff so that's why I call them toys! :)
@Der Hof 2007 They are just tools or toys in my case. :) No hard feelings!

@@CanonUSA this is impressive
does canon vixia hf g50 provide audio through hdmi? please need answer cuz im planning to buy it for live solo
Hi Angelito!
The HDMI OUT terminal on the VIXIA HF G50, outputs a digital signal that includes the video signal and the audio signal. The HDMI OUT terminal on the camcorder is for output only. You can find details on page 92 of the camcorder instruction manual.
Here is a shortcut to the manual: Canon.us/c8gp6
We hope this helps.
As far as I can see this 2019 G50 has about the same features as the 2016 Sony AX53, which is quite popular.
How does the 29mm compare to 10mm for vlogging
Hi! The lens on the VIXIA HF G50 has an actual focal length of 3.67mm on the wide-end. The 29.1mm focal length listed is the equivalent to what you'd expect from a camera with a 35mm full-frame sensor. 29mm is still wide-angle and great for vlogging. We hope this helps!
Wondering what stand are you using?
Can i hook a freeworld monitor up to this?
Hi Rob:
The camcorder outputs video and audio from the HDMI port. You will want to check with the manufacturer of your monitor for compatibility of specific makes and models.

How does this compare with the XA11
Hello Becker:
You can find a comparison of these two cameras at the link here: Canon.us/jr4b8. While the Vixia HF G50 does not have the professional XLR audio inputs that the XA11 has, the HF G50 is a newer camera with a newer processor. Another major difference is that the HF G50 can record in 4K resolution. The XA11 records at Full HD 1920x1080. If you have other questions our support agents can assist you at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666) Monday - Friday 9:00 am to 9:00 pm ET. Saturday 9:00 am to 7:00 pm ET, excluding holidays.

Does it have night vision?
Hi Ben!
This model does not have "night vision" or an "infrared" mode. You must have some light to record visible images. The camera has several Shooting Modes that will improve image quality in certain low light conditions, but this is not the same as "night vision."
Some of our other camcorders, like the XA15, do have an Infrared Shooting Mode for extreme low-light conditions that have little to no ambient light..
You can contact our sales team for information on all models with this feature. The are available at 800-385-2155; Monday-Saturday* 9:00AM EST - 9:00PM EST *Excludes Holidays.
We hope this helps.
