Is this a good time to buy?

Current Model

The R50 is a current beginner-friendly APS-C body (2023) with no confirmed successor. The R50 V is a separate video-focused sibling, not a replacement.

What to do now: Reasonable to buy as a first camera. The price call is mostly about kit bundles and sales. Compare the R10 if you want twin dials and faster handling.
