A camera designed for those who prioritize video without giving up photography. And at an affordable price. Canon has thought of content creators and video fans with a very complete entry optionbut maintaining simplicity of use, compact size and providing real solutions that work. This is how we could define the Canon EOS R50 V (where the “V” is the definitive statement of intent of the term vlogging) that we analyze in depth.

We earn commission from these links The Canon EOS R50V’s main dial shows various video modes Design, ergonomics and accessories: thinking about the vertical format Physically, the EOS R50 V breaks with the sobriety of classic photographic design to prioritize use on social networks. Its body is compact and the set is very light (mainly constructed of high-resistance polycarbonate), which is comfortable in freehand recording sessions. The side of the Canon EOS R50V includes another thread for vertical use on tripods and stands But there are two design decisions that significantly improve the ergonomics of this model for the content creator accustomed to working alone: He front record button: Located next to the grip, it allows you to start or stop the capture completely naturally when the user is self-recording, eliminating the inconvenience of blindly searching for the upper trigger. The lateral thread for vertical format: In addition to the traditional thread on the base, Canon has integrated a second thread on the side of the grip. This allows the camera to be mounted natively vertically on tripods or gimbals, making it easy to create vertical video content such as Instagram Reels, TikTok or YouTube Shorts without the need for accessories. The Canon EOS R50V Creators Kit includes a small tripod, remote control, microphone and memory card. A complete piece of equipment for multiple uses. The content creator kit provides added value, with accessories that are not just filler, but really practical and of decent quality. He Mini Tabletop Tripod: When closed, its compact legs form an ergonomic handle suitable for freehand work. He remote control: Vital for automating remote shooting without having to constantly move to the camera body. He microphone Multi-function hot shoe: Canon takes advantage of the digital pins on its new hot shoe to power and transfer audio from the included compact-sized microphone. The audio record is clean, precise and with a very low background noise level. The EOS R50V screen rotates 180º and allows comfortable recording while facing the camera. The video performance of the Canon EOS R50 V is, without a doubt, its strongest purchase argument. The camera does not crop the sensor or rescale in the usual way; instead, it uses the full width of its APS-C sensor to capture information at 6K resolution and, through oversampling, compresses it into a 4K UHD file at 30 fps. The result is a remarkable sharpnesswith highly defined textures and great chromatic fidelity. The real blow to the table in this version V is the inclusion of the Canon Log 3 (C-Log 3) color profile in 10 bits. For the food or travel content creator, for example, this translates into the ability to save highlights (such as spot lamps in a dark restaurant) and recover detail in the deeper shadows of the scene during the editing stage. Added to this is the software elimination of the limit of 60 minutes of continuous recording in 4K (which, for example, has its sister the EOS R50), which expands the possibilities for longer recordings, video podcasts or interviews. The stabilization system (IS) of the Canon EOS R50V is digital, with two modes, normal and enhanced (with cropping). As for the stabilizationthe camera delegates all the work to the software through its digital stabilization. With two options. The “Standard” mode delivers on static or smoothly panned shots, and the “Enhanced” mode introduces substantial cropping to the image. The continuous focus system: Dual Pixel II precision Another very notable aspect of this EOS R50 V is its autofocus system. Incorporates the appreciated system Dual Pixel CMOS AF II which behaves with truly remarkable speed and consistency. In video recordings, where light contrasts are high and, in addition, we record a handheld camera with constant movement, the tracking of the subject, and specifically the human eye, has millimeter precision, even if the subject wears glasses or turns his head briefly. With Canon EOS R50V: 1/100 s; f/5.6; ISO 800 Special mention deserves the inclusion of the “Product Showcase” mode (Product Showcase AF). Designed specifically for product reviews or videos, where the camera algorithm Automatically prioritizes any object that approaches the target instantly and accurately. As soon as the object moves out of shot, the focus returns to the presenter’s eye with cinematic smoothness and without the annoying search-for-focus effect. Added to this is a Minimum focusing distance of just 15 centimeters (from the sensor plane according to the RF-S 14-30mm objective). Although the included lens is not a pure macro lens, this short distance allows you to capture extremely close-up details with great comfort and reliability. With Canon EOS R50V: 1/500 s; f/6.3; ISO 2,500. The lens allows you to focus at only 15 … Read more

There are times when you try a product and think “well, it’s not that it’s the best at anything, but everything it comes with works so well.” Well, that is precisely what happens to me with him. Huawei Watch Fit 5. It’s a smart watch which, without being the best in any section, is comfortable, works well, has just the right and necessary functions and will be more than enough for 99% of users. Having tried it, I can only reaffirm this. ✅ Buy it if… Your budget is 200 euros. You want a watch that works well regardless of whether your phone is an iPhone or an Android smartphone. You value comfort and battery. ❌ Don’t buy it if… You want to use a virtual assistant like Google Gemini or Siri from the watch. You want to control home automation devices from the watch or make it part of a larger ecosystem. You like to tinker with third-party applications to expand functions. The essentials in 30 seconds The Huawei Watch Fit 5 is, like his brother Proa fairly simple smart watch, but really capable. Unlike his brother, focused entirely on the most athletic, this watch is more casualmore designed for everyday use, so it drops some advanced health and sports functions to make it cheaper. It is, so that we understand each other, the typical watch that could be worn by both a user who always has his cell phone on silent and does not want to miss notifications (me), or an amateur athlete who usually goes out running or cycling. It is very versatile. It doesn’t have particularly outstanding features, but what it does have works well and meets expectations. The pending issues, however, are the same as always. Not having Wear OS weighs on having a virtual assistant or access to a huge catalog of apps, for example. But what we lose there we gain in, for example, compatibility, since this watch does not tie you to an iPhone or an Android mobile. 8.8 Design 8.5 Screen 9.0 Software 8.5 Battery 9.5 Interface 8.5 in favor It is very comfortable and very light. A week of autonomy with complete peace of mind. The quality/price ratio is excellent against It still doesn’t integrate into a broader product ecosystem, just like the Pro. It doesn’t have an assistant like Gemini or Siri.

We earn commission from these links Our experience with the Huawei Watch Fit 5 Huawei Watch Fit 5 | Image: Xataka The differences with the Fit 5 Pro. The Watch Fit 5 is slightly smaller and lighter than the Fit 5 Pro, and the case is made of aluminum instead of titanium. Your screen is not LTPO (something that is not noticeable in practice and in this size) and lacks some advanced sports functions (such as diving at 40 meters), an electrocardiogram and an arterial stiffness meter. That is, it is a more casual watch than the Watch Fit 5 Pro. However, the reality is that, except in specific cases, these functions are not missed on a day-to-day basis. As if it won’t take anything. It is a very comfortable and very light watch. It doesn’t bother you during the day or when playing sports, but above all, it doesn’t bother you when you sleep, which is important to me. It is pleasant to the touch (the difference with respect to titanium is minimal) and the design, although reminiscent of the Pro, is less marked. The included strap is made of nylon and feels great, but since it has a standard pin we can change it for any other one, as long as it is 22 mm. No complaints in this regard. There are also no complaints about the screen, which meets all expectations. Just and necessary functions (and family sins). As a smartwatch, the device checks almost all the boxes: it allows you to receive (and respond to) notifications and calls; record our sports sessions and health parameters accurately, as well as pay with your mobile phone through Curve Pay. The operating system works perfectly, just like the Pro, and the daily experience is nailed. Now, it still doesn’t have a voice/AI assistant to match, it doesn’t integrate with home automation and the app catalog, although larger than a few years ago, goes as far as it goes. Huawei Watch Fit 5 | Image: Xataka Very good for sport. I find it just as comfortable as the Watch Fit 5 Pro and as far as sensors and GPS are concerned, the performance is similar. The only difference is, as we said, the advanced trial running, diving and golf modes, but if you use the watch to run casually, play tennis or do exercises at the gym, the experience you get is exactly the same in terms of precision and metrics. That is, good. The pending task is a proper padel mode. So, as an idea. Excellent battery. Reach ten days with complete peace of mind with normal use. If we give more effort to the GPS, the figure will go down, but we can stay with the idea that we can spend the week without going through the charger. And when it’s time to do it, good news, because in just over an hour we will have it 100% again.

I think that, as a reader in general and a manga lover in particular, I have found the gift that I will put this year in the letter to the Three Wise Men. Each and every one of the gadgets that I have tried to read digitally They have given me some problems: either they are small, or their screens tire my eyes, or they distract me with notifications or they do not easily accept the most common formats. He Boox Go 10.3 (Gen II) Lumi It’s quite the opposite. It is what, as a reader, I would definitely want to have on my nightstand and in my backpack. The only thing I’m missing is the 450 euros that, unfortunately for my pocket, it costs. ✅ Buy it if… You read a lot in digital. You want a comfortable, large e-book reader with a good battery. You don’t like the idea of ​​having to buy all the books on Amazon Kindle. ❌ Don’t buy it if… You tend to read unusually or sporadically. You don’t want to spend a lot of money. You want a color screen. The essentials in 30 seconds The Boox Go 10.3 (Gen II) Lumi is a book reader with a 10.3-inch black and white e-ink display. Everything is normal, except for the operating system, which is Android 15. What does that mean? That you have access to Google Play and, therefore, to the entire ecosystem of reading apps (and non-readable) available for Android. It doesn’t tie you to a platform (like Kindles), but rather gives you total freedom. It works sensationally, it supports all home formats (PDF, EPUB, CBR, MOBI, doc, docx…), it has a backlight (it’s the difference between the Lumi model and the standard one) and the pen is very useful. Your main problem? That it does not have a color screen, that it has little capacity and that the price to pay for it is quite high. Now, if you do not intend to read color documents and are looking for a good black and white reading device for books and manga, this is, without a doubt, one of the options to consider. BOOX Go 10.3 Gen2 Lumi Epapel Tablet 10.3″ Monochrome Front Light 300 DPI 64 GB Android 15 E-Ink The price could vary. We earn commission from these links Our experience with the Boox Go 10.3 (Gen II) Lumi Boox Go 10.3 (Gen II) Lumi | Image: Xataka E-ink display: pros. If we talk about reading for a long time, electronic ink screens have no rival: they tire the eyes much lessthey have less reflections and do not suffer when placed in broad daylight. This device features a 10.3-inch eInk panel with 300 pixels per inch resolution and, simply put, it looks great. Not only is the text crisp, but the manga drawings and fine panel details look spectacular. I have not had the slightest problem when reading books, manga, websites and even working with PDFs. A note about qualities: the device offers us several screen configurations, so we can choose if we want a faster refresh at the cost of losing sharpness, or more sharpness at the expense of losing transition speed. Here to taste. I have used it most of the time with the second configuration. Big, but comfortable. It is a large device, but very thin and weighs 300 grams. This means that we can carry it in our backpack without it getting in the way (it came with me to Poland, in fact) or that we can use it in bed without our arms getting tired. In fact, it’s funny that the pencil, which we’ll talk about shortly, is thicker than the reader itself. The weight seems more than it is, in practice it doesn’t feel like it weighs a third of a kilo. Boox Go 10.3 (Gen II) Lumi | Image: Xataka Moves in fear. Although its specifications may seem modest, the truth is that Android 15 works well with the four gigabytes of RAM and the Snapdragon 750G processor that it has. The 64 GB of storage, however, seems somewhat scarce to me and, furthermore, they are not expandable. By default, there is certain ghosting when we turn the page, but it is neither very exaggerated nor is it something that cannot be fixed by adjusting the refresh rate. I have it configured so that the screen refreshes completely when turning five pages, but if having the shadow of the page is a nuisance it can be adjusted so that it refreshes when turning one. This, needless to say, will slow down loading. Android is always a good idea. The interface is well adapted and has everything necessary to work, namely a reading app compatible with all formats, a browser, an AI assistant whose presence is testimonial, and Google Play. The advantage, of course, is the compatibility with Android apps, so you can install Google Play Books, Kindle, Moon Reader, Notion or Manga Plus to stay up to date with One Piece. It supports all popular formats, so you can use any EPUB, MOBI or PDFs you buy on any platform. About the pencil: the device includes a stylus to take notes, write, make annotations on files, etc. It works quite well and responds to pressure, but there is minimal latency that makes typing feel a bit clunky. It makes more sense to make specific annotations on a PDF or a drawing than to take quick notes in a class, for example. Boox Go 10.3 (Gen II) Lumi | Image: Xataka Charger? The device arrived charged at 80% 16 days ago and today, after using it literally every day for at least an hour-hour and a half, I put it on charge with 28% battery remaining. This is the advantage of these devices: they barely consume anything. Loading is a little slow, but nothing to worry about considering that we will do it every so often.

A year ago I had the opportunity to try the Dreame A2a 2,800 euro robotic lawnmower that I loved, but it was too much for the 100 square meters of the garden at home. In a garden like this something smaller, more compact and, above all, cheaper would have been enough. Then Mova, Dreame’s sub-brand, arrived and put its ViAX 500a smaller, more humble lawnmower robot with a price tag of 749 euros. And that’s another movie. ✅ Buy it if… You have a small garden and you want to forget about periodic maintenance. You are looking for a silent robot. You value good obstacle detection. ❌ Don’t buy it if… You have a large garden, greater than 100-150 square meters. It is full of trees or decorative objects. You want to configure absolutely everything from the app. The essentials in 30 seconds The Mova ViAX 500 stands out for delivering what it promises: it is a robotic lawnmower designed for small gardens, with good navigation and programming capabilities. The cut is uniform and adjustable and the battery is enough to cover a garden of 100-120 square meters such as that of a chalet. Its biggest problem is around the edges and in smaller areas. The robot seems to be afraid of getting too close to the edge, especially when the surface is not quite ready, and small areas of grass tend to not go over them completely. In general, it is a good purchase if we are looking for a robot that we can program and forget about it until it is due for maintenance. Now, in a large house with extensive gardens, many nooks, trees and narrow areas, it is quite likely that it will suffer more.

We earn commission from these links Our experience with the Mova ViAX 500 MOVA ViAX 500 | Image: Xataka Setting it up is very easy (and a tip). Setting up these devices is just as easy as setting up a robot vacuum cleaner: You take it out, put it in the base, connect it to WiFi and map the area. You must do the latter by hand, controlling it as if it were a radio-controlled car. The base must be anchored to the ground with the included plastic screws and, obviously, you must connect it to the power. The cable, luckily, is very, very long, so you can pull it into the house if necessary. The little advice: If you can, put the foundation in the shade. The summer heat plays against these devices, even more so considering that the base does not have a hood. If your garden allows it, place the base in a place where the sun does not shine fully all day. Don’t worry about irrigators or rain, the robot has IPX6 resistance and can withstand them without problem. Cuts the grass pretty well. The robot has a rotating platform with three blades at the bottom. We can adjust this from the robot itself (not from the app) so that the cutting height is between two and six centimeters. My recommendation: three-four centimeters. It can also be configured to cut in a zig-zag pattern, which is recommended to improve uniformity, as well as programming. No complaints in this regard, except that the smallest areas are usually reviewed halfway. It’s as if the robot thinks it’s too big to work in that area. Be careful with edges and trees. Although the navigation via LiDAR and camera is exceptional, I have to give the slap on the wrist at the edges. Although it can be configured to “go in” a little further, the truth is that if the edge is not perfectly flush with the ground you will see that, over time, it will end up being longer than the rest of the garden. And it will be noticed. The same thing happens when approaching trees or decorations. Many times it seems that the robot is afraid to get a little closer, a fear that robot vacuum cleaners overcame a long time ago. MOVA ViAX 500 | Image: Xataka A fair and necessary autonomy. The robot has a battery with enough capacity to, in standard mode, cut 120 square meters in about an hour and a half. Enough for my garden. With efficient mode, the figure reaches 150 square meters. If the battery runs out, the robot returns to the base, charges itself (in about an hour) and picks up where it left off. Zero problems with this. Don’t forget the rest of the garden. Although the obstacle detection works really well, my recommendation is to spend a few minutes cleaning up the garden before starting the robot. If you have fruit trees and the fruit has fallen, pick it up or prepare for an exquisite wheel and blade cleaning session. I speak from experience. If you have left the hose loose, pick it up; And if you have pets, I, personally, would put them inside the house while the robot does its thing for a mental health issue.
