CanonEOS R100 Mirrorless Camera, RF Mount, 24.1 MP, DIGIC 8 Image Processor, Continuous Shooting, Eye Detection AF, Full HD Video, 4K, Small, Lightweight, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Content Creation

For starters, this is a budget camera. It should not be compared to $3,000 flagship cameras.That said, I love this thing. It has the full Canon menu. You can achieve almost any setting you desire.The RF lenses are amazing, and this camera body uses them amazingly well. You can also adapt your EF lenses to this.Because it is a budget camera, they do a lot of hand holding and the automatic functions are pretty extensive. You have to switch the menu from the simple menu to the standard one in order to get all of the stuff, but that's easy to do. You should spend a lot of time in this menu system to make sure you understand what the camera can do.This would not be suitable for professionals and you're not going to use this as a main camera if you're taking wedding photos or sports photos. But I have taken it to events and got an amazing shots.I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a high-powered budget camera with a lot of artistic options. This would probably not be suitable as a main camera for a videographer or a professional, but it would work for photo journalism.I originally bought it because I have a DSLR and I wanted to see what the mirrorless experience was like. I may buy a full size like the R8 or better one of these days, but this little camera is my favorite companion. It's great for street photography. It's great for so many things. If you're looking for a camera, you will not get anything better than this for the price.

Twenty-four years ago, my first serious camera was an all-manual Ricoh film camera. The only electronic feature it had was a built-in light meter for setting the exposure. Focus was achieved by aligning a split prism in the viewfinder. Today, I appreciate more convenience. When I’m on a photoshoot, I use autofocus to capture expressions quickly, but I still manually set the shutter, aperture, and ISO to ensure consistent exposure between locations, making batch processing easier.For my needs—typically portraits, small events, and traveling—when buying a new camera, my priorities are solid build quality, sharp image quality, sufficient low-light performance, fast and accurate autofocus, long battery life, RAW output, and manual controls for the exposure triangle. The Canon EOS R100 delivers on all these fronts. I don’t need an articulating screen, touch controls, joysticks, thumb wheels, or streaming capabilities. I want a camera, not an Xbox.The few drawbacks, as others have mentioned, include the camera being quite small. If you’re nearsighted, you might need to remove your glasses to see the screen, but I somehow don’t need to remove my glasses to look through the viewfinder. Additionally, manually changing ISO takes some navigating, back button focus isn’t an option, and the autofocus beep is hard to hear outside. I’ve started to just trust the camera to set the ISO automatically, with a 3200 maximum, and lock the exposure with the function button, and this has worked out surprisingly well. When I need to manually focus, focus peaking is an option, which works similarly to a split prism. How nostalgic.To the credit of those who complained about the lack of modern features, they may have been integral in encouraging Canon to lower the price of the R100. I’m thankful for that because I’d be more willing to spend $300 for this camera than $600.If you also appreciate simplicity and don’t have a regular need to record yourself, the Canon EOS R100 is an excellent buy as a primary or backup camera.A couple of final notes: For an impressive demo of the video capabilities when using an ND filter, look up “Canon R100 4K Video Test” by DSI Pictures on YouTube. Secondly, I’d advise against investing heavily in RF-S lenses; instead, opt for full-frame RF lenses in case you decide to upgrade to a full-frame camera later. Lastly, the featured photo was taken at a yoga center.

I’m obsessed with this camera! While I admit that I am a complete beginner in photography, I have been dreaming of a professional type camera for years. I still need to play around with all the settings and what not, as I’m waiting for spring/summer to really get some good outdoor shots, but the photos I have taken so far are fantastic! Definitely worth the money!

Small, curved edges so fits easily in my coat pocket. Also takes excellent photos better than any phone. Lenses are first rate, the standard telephoto lens is very sharp and focus is fast and accurate. Also reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

This is my primary camera for when I’m traveling. The functionality and ease of use is great, the size is near perfect, and the autofocus is pretty good. My only complaint is the battery life, you definitely need multiple batteries even if you only want to shoot for under 2 hours inconsistently.

Great camera! We use this for our photobooth business and have had no issues whatsoever! People love the quality!

This camera is really outstanding, highly recommend to someone you who wants to start in photography.Is pretty compact. The delivery was fast, and it is a great value for the money.

Annoying piece of junk camera. When I hold this camera, my hand automatically rests against the right bottom area, which brings up the selection for auto focus...continuously. Takes forever to autofocus anyway. Cannot ever be sure if autofocus is on or not since it changes constantly. Camera has shown me a full battery many times, and when in use does not even last 50 photos taken within 20 minutes. I need a camera that either shows me when a battery is drained so I can charge it, or give me a battery that last a decent while. This is one purchase I regret. I have owned many Canon cameras before this one and loved them, but I will buy a different brand next time I change cameras due to this mostly useless paperweight.
