Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, we are going to illustrate the Canon R50 and Sony A6400 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon R50 has external dimensions of 116 x 86 x 69 mm (4.57 x 3.39 x 2.72″) and weighs 375 g (0.83 lb / 13.23 oz) (including batteries). Sony A6400 has external dimensions of 120 x 67 x 60 mm (4.72 x 2.64 x 2.36″) and weighs 403 g (0.89 lb / 14.22 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon R50 and the Sony A6400. Sony A6400 is 19mm shorter and 9mm thinner than Canon R50 but it is also 4mm wider.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon R50 and Sony A6400.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon R50 and Sony A6400.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon R50 is 28g lighter than the Sony A6400 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Canon R50 and Sony A6400 have the same APS-C sized sensor, their lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will be similar in size and weight.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the A6400, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the R50.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon R50 and Sony A6400's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
