Features
  • RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM Standard Zoom Lens

    The small size of the RF-S18–45mm F4.5–6.3 IS STM and clever lens retraction mechanism lets it fit just about anywhere, making it a great lens to bring with you on a walk or wherever the day takes you.

  • 24.1 Megapixel (APS-C) CMOS Sensor

    The EOS R100 is equipped with a 24.1-megapixel CMOS (APS-C) image sensor & DIGIC 8 Image Processor. With a significantly larger sensor size than many smartphones, it can capture images with natural bokeh for beautiful background blur, great color, and low noise.

  • ISO 100-12,800 (expandable to 25,600)

    Enjoy crisp, clean images over a broad spectrum of lighting conditions, even capturing great shots just before dawn and at dusk, when available light is often beautiful but scarce.

  • Capture bright images indoors without flash

    Taking advantage of its sensor size, the EOS R100 can take high-sensitivity and low-noise images that capture the atmosphere, even in low-light conditions. That way you can take images at fast shutter speeds to minimize capture shake and subject blur.

  • Dual Pixel CMOS AF and Eye Detection AF

    Dual Pixel CMOS AF* provides fast, accurate autofocus that helps you get the photo you want right as the moment happens. The EOS R100 features an expansive focus area that covers up to approximately 88% horizontal and 100% vertical² of the picture area,

  • breaking the image up to 143 AF area zones during auto selection. With the EOS R100, you can easily capture your subject quickly with the Eye Detection AF — allowing you to shoot even when the subject is far away.

  • Eye Detection AF can also be used when the subject's full body is in frame, to lock on the eyes from a further distance. * Contrast-based AF is used during 4K video recording.

  • Continuous Shooting

    Capture those can’t-miss moments with up to 6.5 shots per second continuous shooting when set to One-Shot AF. This allows you to capture those momentary changes in facial expressions that are easy-to-miss.

  • Creative Assist & Creative Filters

    Take photos in your style with similar intuitive usability of a smartphone app with the R100. Creative Assist allows you to take on challenge of image creation while in Auto Mode by changing settings such as “background blur,” “brightness,” and “saturation” easily

  • and in real time on the Live View screen. Creative Filters on the EOS R100 allows you to select various effects from your favorite filters just like a smartphone app during shooting or playback³, so you can easily capture impressive photos to share!

  • Silent Mode for quiet operation

    Capture life’s moments without worrying about distracting them with Silent Mode on the EOS R100. Whether you are at your child’s recital, or your newborn baby is sleeping,

  • the camera’s Silent Mode ensures you don’t startle your subject by enabling capture with virtually no shutter sound and preventing flash.

  • High-definition video

    With the help of the 24.1 Megapixel CMOS (APS-C) sensor, the EOS R100 can record high-quality 4K movies at up to 24 frames per second, or Full HD movies at up to 60 frames per second.

  • By pairing the camera with a variety of RF lenses, you can express yourself by capturing videos with blurred backgrounds, in dark settings, or using various techniques that would be challenging with smartphones.

  • Smooth Slow-Motion Videos

    HD movies can also be recorded at a high-frame rate of approx. 120 frames per second⁴— ideal for smooth, slow-motion playback of videos. Designed to capture fun, beautifully detailed videos,

  • the EOS R100 helps ensure you don’t miss any of the unique expressions of your friends’ or family's faces.

  • Compact, lightweight body

    The EOS R100 camera is the smallest and lightest camera in the EOS R series¹. Although it is compact and lightweight, the camera features a grip that provides a professional feel and steady hold while shooting.

  • Precise Electronic Viewfinder

    It is equipped with high-precision 0.39-inch OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) EVF with approx. 2.36 million dots which displays a bright image & extensive shooting info. The EVF has been designed to provide a bright, sharp, and colorful approximate of subject at hand.

  • Built-in Bluetooth Capability

    Bluetooth pairing helps you connect the camera to compatible smart devices using the free Canon Camera Connect app. This low-energy wireless connection helps preserve battery life while providing remote control of the camera.

  • Built-in WiFi Capability

    Enable wireless functions, such as remote live view, file viewing and transfer, by connecting to Wi-Fi quickly and seamlessly. Using the Canon Camera Connect app, you can also transfer files to your compatible mobile device to browse and share on social media.

  • image.canon Service

    Connecting to the image.canon service will allow you to seamlessly upload all images & movies in original format and quality, and access them from the dedicated app or through a web browser and forward them to a computer, compatible mobile device, and third-party services.

    The best beginner camera

    Been using this for a few months, mainly for cinematography, car content and rolling shots, and it’s been great for the price. 4K video quality holds up way better than I expected for an entry level camera, autofocus is solid, and it’s light enough to shoot with all day. Battery life is decent but bring a backup for longer shoots, and low light isn’t its strongest suit. Kit lens is fine to start but you’ll want to upgrade eventually. Overall a really solid entry point if you’re getting into video without dropping a ton of cash, and Canon’s color still holds up at this price.

    A very proficient Canon crop-sensor camera.

    3 months ago as of writing this review, I wanted to start honing in on doing photography. I had a small budget and didn't want to overexpense myself. In the end, I decided to try out this camera and the 18-45mm lens that came with the bundle. All this time later, it has become a very valuable camera for what I do and I will continue to use it for a long time. Below I will give my two cents on reasons why and why not to purchase it. Warning, lots of reading! Lightweight: Since the R100 is a Mirrorless camera, it is a much lighter weight than most DSLRs. Why is this good? You still capture great quality photos and have a lighter bag with you! Yes, some will argue that mirrorless will take less quality shots than DSLR but in reality, since the mirrorless has no internal moving mechanisms, such as a mirror, not only will your shots be quieter, but there is no chance of camera shake by the device itself, only your hands. ;) Still, there are reasons for DSLRs, such as battery life. In the end, if you like to be on the move with your camera, I recommend this type. Crop-Sensor: The R100 is an APS-C style camera, which means that the image will be zoomed in because of the camera's sensor. Isn't that bad? Well, not exactly. For closer subjects, maybe, unless you physically move away. However, for farther away subjects, like animals, you will fall in love with the 1.6x crop factor. Lenses on this camera will effectively be zoomed drastically the longer the focal length. This means your 18-45mm lens is the equivalent of a 24-80mm on a full-frame camera, which is the standard measurement for camera sensors. The 55-210mm turns into an 88-336mm equivalent. And that 100-400? 160 to a drastic 640mm! That's enough to take photos of the moon! Unfortunately, I have not used any of the video features or flash on this camera. I don't have any interest in using them myself. I cannot comment on what I don't know about. :( The specs on this camera are very useful for the average photographer, especially beginners. The menus and buttons are fairly easy to navigate, and only get more and more simple as you use them more. The autofocus modes are accurate for what I want them to do. Would be nice to have less than 100 ISO in some cases, but remember, this is, essentially, an entry-level camera! So, in the end, it all depends on what you want to photograph, my words will hopefully help you decide on this camera. I will include a few images that I have captured on this camera with the 18-45mm lens. (Alert! I like monochrome, but I will include a colored image.) Thank you for reading and hopefully, you start clicking soon!

    Excellent

    Amazing beginner camera, this is the camera I started photography on and I have no complaints. If you’re looking for a compact, lightweight camera that provides professional quality pictures this is for you! If you’re looking for a more “professional looking” camera you may want to look at others. Super easy to use and learn how to work all the features. The kit lens is not the best but it’s definitely not the worst.
