Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my 2nd camera, coming from the EOS M100 this is a great upgrade! Yes it's both APS-C, but this camera is fast and the newer the sensor is great! I hope Canon allows 3rd party lens manufacturers (WE NEED MORE LENS OPTIONS!)

Good quality camera, but somewhat confused with all the settings.

I'm an experienced photographer and over the years, I've taken great care in upgrading my equipment to ensure I had the best possible product for the jobs I was doing. My fiancé loves taking pictures, but is intimidated by more complex camera systems -- like my Canon EOS R5. She admitted to me that she would love to have a mirrorless camera, but didn't want to plunge into the pro-level cameras. This is exactly who the Canon EOS R10 is made for. It's perfect for people who have experience with DSLR cameras and want to move to a mirrorless set-up and it's ideal for content creators. This camera is much more budget-friendly than some of the other mirrorless cameras in Canon's product lineup and it's very easy to use. Within a few minutes of unboxing the camera, my fiancé was outside taking photos of birds and plants around our house. The biggest takeaway I have about the R10 is that it is an 'entry-level' camera with advanced technology built into it. For example, the R10 has the Dual Pixel CMOS AF II focusing system integrated and it does a fabulous job in practice. On the flip side, it doesn't have as many focus points as the pro-level Canon mirrorless cameras do. The R10 is very lightweight but solidly built. It seems to be durable and since it has a more compact body than some other Canon cameras, it's very portable. The controls are all located on the right-hand side of the camera (for the most part) and a user can easily reach the buttons, dials, and joystick with their right thumb without removing their hand from the grip. The flip-out touchscreen is another piece of advanced technology that you typically don't get with entry-level equipment, but it's a very welcome addition to this camera. It makes the photo-taking experience much richer. The kit lens that comes with the R10 is a nice starter lens that will work for most users but is worth an upgrade depending on your use. The camera also features a maximum mechanical burst rate of 15 FPS, which is great for capturing sports and wildlife. The R10 is a robust starter camera but there are some staunch differences between it and the pro-level mirrorless cameras from Canon. For example, the R10 -- does not have weather sealing only shoots video at 4K @ 24FPS un-cropped/4K @ 60FPS cropped cannot shoot C-log does not have a dedicated 3.5mm headphone jack only has a single memory card slot vs a dual-card slot has a maximum mechanical shutter speed of 1/4000 Even though the R10 is missing some of the pro-level features from Canon, it's still a worthwhile mirrorless camera for content creators. It takes crisp photos and it's very easy to use.

I decided to choose this camera as my first camera! and I don't regret my choice for a single minute! I also bought a 100-40mm lens and the photos are incredible!

First nice quality camera. Easy to use. Great pictures!

Absolutely love this camera! I shoot mainly in indoor venues, with low light, and this camera does the job!

Very good camera. For beginners just right. I'm glad I bought a gift for my beloved. For our wedding anniversary

Has a lot of different capabilities. Easy to change between lenses.

Canon lists the OS R10 as an advanced beginner and content creator camera. It is more capable than beginner cameras and costs a bit more to reflect that. But I feel it is a bargain as you get much more in a surprisingly light, compact, and easy to use body. The R10 has a fast autofocus that keeps up with moving subjects, better than many cameras I tried. The 15fps mechanical and 23fps electronic shooting speeds for brief periods before slowing. It slows down much faster shooting in RAW format vs. JPEG, I suspect a limitation in the speed writing to the UHS card and/or a lack of cache slows the shutter speed down. This fast shutter speed help ensure getting that crucial shot, say when shooting a child’s sporting event. The R10 has an eye and subject tracking feature that tracks people, animals, and vehicles within the image to keep the focus on your moving subjects. This is again, also an excellent feature for sporting events and vlogging. The video supports uncropped 4K at 30p. The camera itself digital Image Stabilization to reduce camera shake and leave you with a smooth looking video. Video clips can extend beyond the 30-minute limit of other cameras if your battery and SD card have the capacity. The multi-function Hot Shoe on top supports external Microphones as well as optional lights and external flashes. There is a microphone input for an optional external microphone, but curiously there is no headphone jack to monitor your audio when shooting videos. As a longtime Canon SLR user, I find it a great second camera to have on hand. With its familiar controls, it’s an easy camera for other family members to use. The R10 is smaller and lighter than Canon EOS 70D, which had received some groans on who had to carry it in the past. The R10’s small size and weight server to make it an excellent travel camera. Whether it’s a vacation or creating content on the go, the R10 much less fatiguing to carry around all day than my Canon 70D. The Canon R10 has a Plasticky feel/look that struck me odd at first at this price point, but it is light and about as small as a SLR can get. After carrying it around for several hours, I became OK with it. Despite being smaller, there is a deep grip well on the right side that provides a good purchase on the camera. Its comfortable to hold with good balance. Supporting a long telephoto lens on the camera is not a problem. The controls are laid out logically and easy to use as is the menu structure. The articulating touchscreen rotates and flips so you can view it from behind, below, above and in front of the camera. If you are already in the Canon Camera eco system as I am, the addition of a Canon EF/EF-S Lens mount adapter is a no-brainer. The adapter allows the use of Canon EF & EF-S Lens on the R10. Having several Canon EF lenses and one EFS lens, this provided me with allot of extra value. There is also a much wider selection of focal length and speeds in EF and EF-S lenses available now than with the new RF lenses. Available lenses are big factors to consider when looking at a replacement camera. • Canon 2971C005 = Simple Adapter allows EF/ EF-S lens with a Canon R series camera • Canon 2972C002 = As above but adds a Programmable Control Ring that can be programmed in the menu to add an easy to access function when shooting manually such as shutter speed, ISO, aperture, white balance, etc. *This is the one seen in my pictures. • Canon 3442C002 = Drop-in Filter Mount Adapter EF-EOS R with Circular Polarizing Filter. • Canon 3443C002 = Drop-in Filter Mount Adapter EF-EOS R with Variable ND Filter. The last two adapters do not have a control ring but are great options. One set of filters cover all your EF/EF-S lenses regardless of the diameter of this front lens filter size. Another consideration for the R10 is if you have many EF-S lenses. The EF-S image is sized for a CPS-C sensor, so they are a good match for the R10. With the R10, both EF and EF-S lenses will work perfectly well without the image being cropped as they will on other R series cameras with a larger sensor. The EF lens supports a larger Full Frame image which work on both Full Frame and CPS-C image sensors. With the R10, Cannon introduced a line of less expensive RF-S lenses. Like the EFS-S lenses, these have a smaller image sized for the CPS-C sensor. If you think you may one day progress to a more advanced Full Frame camera, it may be worth spending a bit more to go with Full Frame lenses. With the smaller CPS-C sensor, lenses have a higher rating than they do with a Full Frame camera. For example, a 75-300MM lens used on an CPS-C translates to be about 120-480mm The camera has Wi-Fi which allows you to share photos and videos to your phone and social media with the EOS Utility or to a PictBridge-compatible printer. The camera can also be controlled remotely Wi-Fi. The OLED screen viewfinder (no more mirror) is super clear, but it seems a bit small. I have a little trouble with image acquisition, getting the image situated and ready to shoot. It takes a bit longer to adjust to the small image after when other cameras have a larger viewfinder image. Picture and video quality are great in normal and bright light. But shooting in low light with the R10 leads to very dark pics. Also, when shooting manually if the ISO gets cranked up to 1280 or beyond, the picture gets noisy fast. I find the R10 to be a very capable photo/video camera ready to travel, capture memories or make content. There are a few minor shortcomings, but they are minor and can be overcome. This is a quality camera at a fair price and worth checking out. Especially if you have Canon EF, or EFS-R lenses from another camera. and other.

Great entry level mirrorless camera although I wish I would have spent a little more for the in body IS.

This was my first ever camera and its amazing! im using this for youtube videos and random pictures of me and anything that comes across , works great and im amazed with how good it is for the price

I was expecting a bigger camera I wasnt satisfied with the price after i received the camera

Canon R10 is one of the best entry level mirrorless camera for a wider audience including Beginner Photographers and Content creators. Though this camera is classified as an entry level camera it is loaded with tonnes of customizable features. My previous camera was Canon T5i DSLR that was introduced in 2013 which really shoots some wonderful photographs and video which we use it for our YouTube channel where we get good feedback about the video quality even now. Since we were looking to upgrade to a 4K mirrorless camera for the content creation, we didn't really wanted to go for a high end camera. We wanted to stick to the budget camera without compromising on some of the key features like 4K video, Auto-focus and compact design. So far I have been very satisfied with the R10 and I would certainly recommend this camera to everyone except amateur Wildlife/Sports photographers who can go for the sibling Canon R7 which was introduced around the same timeframe. I am really surprised by how Canon has stayed on the top in terms of introducing new models with innovative technology to stay atop of the competition. Pros: 1. Overall Design - First looks were truly amazing. We own a Canon T5i DSLR and wanted to upgrade to a basic mirrorless camera for our YouTube cooking channel for better shooting performance and sleek design. R10 is so sleek, light weight (Camera without the lens weighs about 0.84 pounds and with the 18 – 45 mm lens it weighs around 1.21 pounds) and compact that it can be mounted on to the tripod easily. Having said that this camera is a great choice for vloggers, content creators and travelers especially who are outdoors and use a Gimbal for shooting. Since this a Beginner's camera upon choosing different modes we get a very nice representation with pictures and explanation for each of the modes. In my old T5i there were no images and it was all old style with just plain text. But Canon has done a great job in explaining the different modes in a more easier way. This option can be turned off if you are are an expert. 2. Autofocus - Another feature that R10 shines is on Autofocus. With the Digic X processor, its really impressive how fast the autofocus is. Autofocus can be changed or selected by touching the LCD screen. The difference of Autofocus on my old T5i vs R10 was clearly visible. R10 has an excellent Autofocus system for both photos and videos. Autofocus is almost the same as the higher end R7 camera. Canon has done an excellent job with the autofocus considering the price point of this camera. One cannot ask for more. 3. Burst shooting speeds - This is one of the another features that makes Canon R10 a worthy buy. Being an entry level mirrorless camera, Canon has done an amazing job with the shooting speed. Thanks to the Digic X processor once again for making this possible. One cannot expect wonders with shooting speeds especially if you are a Professional Wildlife or Sports photographer. If so you should consider the higher end R7 camera that has both In built body stabilization as well as amazing burst shooting speeds. 4. APS-C Image Sensor - R10 has the same image sensor as the higher end mirrorless version R7 which was released around the same time frame. 5. Shutter Mode - R10 has 15 FPS Mechanical shutter and 24 FPS Electronic shutter that makes this camera insanely fast making it suitable for Sports or Wildlife photographs but may not be best for professional Wildlife and Sports photographers. 6. Tracking subjects - It is possible for one to choose from a wide range of subjects that we want the R10 to capture which can be People, Animals (not just Dogs and Cats) and Vehicles. 7. Video shooting - R10 shoots video in 4K at 24 and 30 fps, 4K Crop Mode 60 FPS and FHD up to 120 FPS. 8. Creative filters - R10 comes with different modes like Grainy B&W, Soft Focus, Fisheye effect, Art Bold effect, Water painting effect, Toy camera effect, Miniature effect, HDR art standard, HDR art vivid, HDR art vivid, HDR art embossed which some people can use to reduce the time they spend on editing. 9. Photo Scene modes - Self Portrait, Portrait, Smooth Skin, Group photo, Landscape, Panoramic Shot, Sports, Kids, Panning, Close-up, Food, Night Portrait, Handheld Night Scene, HDR Backlight Control and Silent shutter 10. Movie Recording modes - Movie auto exposure(Shutter speed and aperture are auto - 4K at 24 and 30 fps and FHD at 24, 30 and 60 fps), Movie manual exp (Shutter speed and aperture are manually set - 4K at 24 and 30 fps and FHD at 24, 30 and 60 fps), HDR Movie(FHD only 30 fps) 11. Wireless connectivity - R10 comes with the options to connect to Bluetooth and Wifi. I tried transferring the photos over the Bluetooth and that saved a lot of time that people usually spend in transferring the photos from the SD card to the computer. 12. USB Type C charging - One can use the Power bank to charge the battery via the USB Type C port which will add some juice to the battery just in case you don't have additional batteries. 13. Memory card - There is no memory card provided. It will be better if one opts for UHS-II cards instead of UHS-I cards to get the most out of the 4K videos. Cons: 1. Lack of Image Stabilization - For Professional Sports, Wildlife photographers or anyone who is shooting fast action shots this camera may not be the best as it lacks some of the key features like in-body image stabilization. 2. Meager Battery - Canon has tried to retain the same LP-E17 battery. If you are someone who does lots of Outdoor photography or even indoor photography its better to have couple of more additional batteries so that you don't run out of juice in the middle of your shooting. With the LCD screen one can shoot around 350-450 shots. But with the EVF this reduces to only around 210-290 shots. Its better to use the LCD screen instead of EVF to save juice on the battery. 3. Smaller lens collection - Although it is possible to use an adapter to help use the old DSLR EF lenses on this one, it would be nice if Canon starts introducing more RF lenses in the near future. 4. Issue with High Frame rate switching - If we are shooting on 4K with High Frame rate off, if we turn the High Frame rate on and then flip it back to Off once the shooting is complete the Movie format doesn't revert back to 4K instead it will be on FHD. This might be frustrating as people might think they will be switched back to 4K only to realize they have been shooting on a completely different resolution. This is something Canon should correct it at least in the future.

For anyone looking to get into photography or those looking to make the just to a mirrorless camera, the Canon EOS R10. This camera is amazing and is so much fun to use. I already own an old Canon Rebel with EF-S lenses. The first thing I noticed though when I removed the camera from the box was just how light it was. The mirrorless cameras are substantially lighter than the older counterparts. This makes having it around you need during a day of sightseeing so much nicer. The weight is listed at 0.84 pounds, but it feels lighter than that. It is wonderful. The box also contains the necessary bells and whistles. You get the battery pack, charger, and strap. You will need to get the SD card for use, but this is common. Shooting pictures with this is easy. The auto focus is so much faster than the previous DSLR I was using. Also, the camera did not slow down if I wanted to take many pictures in succession. With my old DSLR, I may take 4 or 5 shots quickly and then had to wait for the camera to catch up before I could take more shots. This was not an issue with the Conon R10. Indoors or outside made little difference. The camera also has many built in functions to customize your work. You can shoot black and white, shoot with different color balances, shoot in fisheye view, or even shoot with a mode that makes the image look like a color sketch drawing. This is great for content providers or people who just want to explore with photography. The back of the camera has a convenient screen that you can use to line up you image. You can even just tap the screen to take a photo when you like it. Everything on the screen is touch controlled, so you can even change parameters right on the screen. You can rotate the screen however you like as well to give you complete control of the photography process. Another great feature with the camera is the ability to shoot video. This is amazing and works great for shooting your own YouTube videos or other content. You can shoot 4K content with up to 30-minute clips. You even have the capability to add additional accessories like a microphone to enhance your final product. As I mentioned previously, I have old EF-S lenses that I use with the Rebel that I have. Presently there are not additional lenses to use with the R10. However, the camera does have backward compatibility with the old DSLR lenses. There is an adapter you can get (I would recommend getting the Canon adapter and not one from a third-party vendor) that will allow you to use the older lenses. This helps you save money and lets you use any of the old lenses you like. In the end though, a camera is really as good as the pictures it takes. This camera delivers in this area. The colors are rich and vibrant. With a 24.2 Megapixel CMOS, the images are amazingly clear. Even when you take a picture from a distance away, you can zoom in on areas without hurting the image. With the intelligence built into the camera, you don’t have to worry about which f-stop is right. Indoors or out, images are crisp. This even works great for fast moving targets that you may see at a sporting event or even an air show. The images are still amazing. In the end, I am very impressed by the Canon EOS R10 Mirrorless Camera. I had been wanting to step up to the mirrorless cameras for some time and could not be happier with the R10. I highly recommend the R10 for photographers of all skill level and content providers looking to have the best quality images and video.

SUMMARY I found the R10 to be a more than capable camera for the casual photographer looking to get into mirrorless. Personally, it’s an upgrade in every way from my T5i with its improved autofocus system, 4K video recording, and incredible shutter speed. Especially if you are interested in photographing wildlife, sports, and dog park adventures – you will find a lot of high-end features in this compact everyday package. PROS - Fast shutter speed - High 24MP APS-C sensor - Dual Pixel CMOS - Compact body CONS - EF lens compatibility requires an adapter - Not compatible with battery grip accessory INTRODUCTION I’ve been a long-time casual Canon DSLR user starting with the Rebel T3i and upgrading to the T5i many years ago which I’ve used happily for the past 7 years. The Rebel line has always had a consumer focus and with the release of the R10, I feel that folks that have been hanging on to their Rebel series cameras should finally make the jump and Canon makes it an easy decision given just how capable the R10 is for the everyday photographer. A NOTE ABOUT LENS MOUNTS The first thing you need to know if you’re a Canon DSLR user: Yes, the mirrorless bodies use a different lens mount, but Canon has several options starting at $99 that will adapt your EF lens so that you don’t have to shell out and rebuild your whole lens kit. I picked up the basic adapter, but Canon also has adapters with a built-in control ring and even a unit with a built-in filter if your willing to spend a bit more. SPECS The R10 is awesome for several reasons namely that it brings a lot of the “pro” features to an accessible price point. Firstly, the R10 has a sizable 24MP APS-C CMOS sensor. Since it uses an APS-C sensor the R10 is compact and easy to travel with. It also uses the Dual Pixel CMOS AF II which excels in capturing moving subjects. While it is using the cropped sensor, the combination of the Dual Pixel technology and 15fps mechanical shutter speed (faster than the R5) make it a great action camera for sports and snapping shots of wildlife or your pup at the dog park. HARDWARE The R10 body design as I mentioned is small and light thanks to the APS-C format sensor - great for throwing into your day bag or small hike pack. Even with the smaller body, it packs tons of features and capabilities. The back of the camera features an articulating LCD touch screen. You can utilize this screen as a viewfinder, but you can also utilize the built in OLED viewfinder which overall I find to be quite good. The usual I/O is here – micro-HDMI, 3.5mm microphone, remote control input and USB-C for data and charging. There is a hot shot mount for external flash as well as a built-in flash. The bottom features a 1/4”-20 screw hole for tripods/mounts and the battery/memory card door. Unfortunately, this door doesn’t seem to be removeable, so a battery grip attachment is out of the question for the R10. There is no in-body stabilization or weather sealing, so you’ll want to be conscious of using recording video on the go and in the rain – more on recording video later. CONROLS From the controls perspective I appreciate the flexibility that the thumb dial, pointer finger selector, and control ring (when using an RF lens) have when shooting full manual. Having all of these literally at your fingertips is especially useful on hikes when you might be subject to continuously changing lighting conditions as you go in and our of tree cover. Learning how to navigate through menus took some getting used to as the controls layout is quite a bit different from my T5i, but still logically grouped and organized in a similar fashion. PHOTOS Overall, I found the R10 to be a huge upgrade from my T5i and a very capable and spec heavy daily shooter for most. I took advantage of the 18-45mm lens included with the kit as it provides the slimmest package. Additionally, I used the adapter to take advantage of my EF lenses (both my 50mm prime and 18-135mm). The kit lens is both versatile for portraits and landscapes, but for range I utilized my 18-135. I found the dual pixel auto-focus system to be incredible versatile especially for moving subjects (see attached photos of my dog park adventure). The R10 has AI subject detection options to maintain focus on people, animals and cars. In my experience at the dog park, this worked great for animals and humans alike. Additionally, with the 24 MP sensor, images came out sharp with great detail. Low light performance was decent, but I did notice a fair amount of noise and autofocus did struggle when the scene was especially dark. That being said I would not say that low light photography is the focus of this camera. VIDEO One of the major benefits of mirrorless cameras over their DSLR cousins is the performance of video. Where as DSLRs historically struggled to capture video over long periods of time due to increasing sensor temperature and increasing image noise. The R10 can record oversampled 10-bit 4K 30fps and 1080p 60fps up to 120fps. Additionally, it can record 4k 60fps at a 1.56x crop which is a great capability to have if you have a wide enough lens and space between your subjects. Since this camera has no in body stabilization you should make use of the electronic stabilization, I found that while the enhanced further cropped in the image it did the best job at smoothing out my motion. Additionally, you can add a stabilized lens to further smooth out your video. The R10 has built-in stereo microphones which sound great for everyday use, though if video is your focus I would probably invest in a better external microphone.

I was hoping this camera could replace my aging Canon Rebel T5i and it definitely seems like this can easily do that. I dipped my toes in mirrorless cameras a couple of years ago, and there were a few things I didn't like about them at the time. The biggest issue for me was there was often a delay for the electronic viewfinder to turn on when putting your eye up to it. There definitely isn't a problem with that on this camera. Canon smartly enables the EVF much earlier. It's always active by the time I get my eye even close to in place. It is also very responsive and looks great. It's nice having a good representation of the final shot in your viewfinder, similar to what you may see on the larger LCD display. You also get the great features that you may be used to, if you've used a Canon camera before. Of course, the biggest advantage (for most people) is the weight. This thing is so much lighter than a DSLR that it almost feels fake. It doesn't feel or look cheap though. It still has that Canon textured material that feels great in use. It's also easy to reach all the buttons and controls, without feeling awkward, which is a huge accomplishment. I think the most impressive part of the camera is it's autofocus. It's very fast and accurate. I don't think I've used any other camera that can grab focus this quickly. It's truly impressive. Photo quality is great and equal to DSLRs if you're familiar with them. I also like the included kit lens. I'm looking forward to getting an adapter too, so I can use my older lenses with this camera, which is another advantage of the R10. A feature that's new to me, is the ability to sort of collapse the lens. You can rotate the lens to make it much more compact for travel/storage, and it easily pops back out when you're ready to shoot. This new lens type also includes Canon's configurable ring. It defaults to zoom, but it can be changed to other options as well. If you're always using auto focus, or touch to focus, you could set the ring to change ISO, or something else. Pretty handy feature. Coming from the Rebel T5i, it's a huge improvement in video recording capabilities. The R10 can do 4k at up to 60fps, or 120fps at 1080p. This looks great, but there are a couple of negatives in the video for me. One, the video does seem to have a bit of a rolling shutter issue with fast movement. Also, an odd thing to me, is if you want to shoot something at a higher frame rate (120fps), you have to go and enable that option in the menus, and in doing so, it disables all other video recording modes (like 4K 60fps, etc.). So, if you're shooting some footage and decide you want to shoot something at a high framerate, you have to go and enable that. Then do the process in reverse if you want to go back. I'm not exactly sure why you can't just switch between them all in the same place. It could be a hardware limitation, but it just feels strange. You could possibly assign one of the custom buttons to help alleviate some of this. Another thing that is a minor issue for me, is the location of the SD card. It's on the bottom of the camera with the battery compartment. If you're shooting on a tripod, you may have to remove the camera from the tripod to swap cards. It's possible you could set this up on the tripod where you can still access it, depending on your tripod, but I wish the card slot was still on the side, like my T5i.

The Canon EOS R10 is a great camera with a few quirks but those quirks do not take away this is a 5 star camera in every way. The market needed a budget/beginner mirrorless camera and Cannon stepped up big time. We used this camera as a backup at a wedding and the photos the Canon put out were almost the same as my Sony Mirrorless with a comparable lens. Now, the lens included with the Canon is decent, it leaves a lot on the table compared to most but the only people that matters to is artists that need top tier photos for use on sites for stock photos or high end photographers. My wife and I already run a small sports and wedding photography business and we wanted a nice backup and a dedicated 4K video source other than GoPro cameras. The pictures themselves are great with this lens but have a tendency to be a little soft on the edges, making it noticeable when blown up large or trying to use it as a stock photo. The lens is the culprit, not the camera, I found this once I used an adapter and put my expensive lens on the camera and besides losing auto focus with the adapter, the camera showed what it can really do which is nothing short of great photos with crisp edges and beautiful colors. The video is fantastic with the stock lens, perfect for family time, blogs and vlogs, and even sporting events, we tried it at a local ATV race and the video was great in 4K but in 1080P, we were pleasantly surprised with the FPS and the ability in post edit to slow it way down for epic slow motion shots for YouTube and other social media. Also, the ability to adjust your shutter speed when your ISO is on Auto is killer for an entry level camera, not the norm for most others out there at this price point. This is huge is sports and faster moving situations but does lack IBIS, so use of a gimbal is a huge positive with the R10. The camera does use older tech batteries, this is a must to know. The battery life does go fast but batteries are cheap and plentiful because it is not the newer style. We already have cameras that used the same battery which gave us a huge positive thumbs up from us, did not have to spend more money to upgrade. The best thing Canon did on the R10, they designed the battery to be changed out easily as is the memory card on a tripod base. The side door is still easily opened when the tripod base is on, that is a great design aspect. Overall, we are very happy with the Canon R10, so far, this is making us look good with amazing photos on a budget.

I really like the EOS R10. It’s a great upgrade from my EOS M6 Mk II and it takes great photos and videos without a lot of work and it offers most of the advanced features I’d want to take things to the next level. The included kit lens is just okay and I’m hoping Canon comes out with some good affordable options soon, but overall if you’re looking for a good camera option that’s a step above smartphone photography this is one to look at for sure. In the box you get the R10 body, a battery, charger, a strap, and an 18-45mm kit lens. My first impression handling the R10 was it was a lot lighter than I expected it to be. I really like the grip on it a lot and I never feel like I’m in any danger of dropping the camera when I’m handling it. The body is mostly plastic, but feels pretty solid, as do all the dials and buttons. The kit lens is also mostly plastic. The battery is an LP-E17, which is one Canon has had around for a while and doesn’t have the largest capacity, but it’s the same type my M6 Mk II used, so I have the benefit of already owning some extras which is nice. The R10 uses a 24MP APS-C image sensor and does not have in-body image stabilization, though the included kit lens does include that. It technically uses a new RF-S lens mount, but is compatible with all of the RF lenses used on the R10’s more expensive siblings, though these lenses themselves are pretty spendy. At this point the only RF-S lenses available are the 18-45mm included with this package and the long 18-150mm kit lens available in a different package. I’m really hoping Canon expands on the RF-S line, especially coming from the M-mount lenses that were themselves pretty neglected by Canon. The controls on the camera are pretty easy to use. There are 2 primary dials for adjusting functions in various modes and an array of buttons that in general I have no problems reaching. The camera has a touchscreen that flips out and a built-in electronic viewfinder. There’s also a pop-up flash. Along the side you’ll find ports for an external microphone, remote input, HDMI, and a USB-C port for data transfer and charging. Getting into using the camera is super simple and there’s a lot of modes and options that I haven’t even begun to scratch the surface of yet. I consistently got great great results in photos with the auto mode and one thing I especially noticed coming from my M6 Mk II was how great the autofocus is in the R10. Once you’ve focused on your subject it stays locked in, even with fast moving subjects like my dogs. Photos look really great and sharp, even at higher ISO levels. I do wish Canon had included a better kit lens as the one that comes with this one here has a minimum F-stop of 4.5, which isn’t great even for a kit lens. Still, except in very low light I was in general pretty happy with its performance, but I’m hoping Canon comes out with some RF-S prime lenses pretty soon. Video quality is also excellent and you can do up to 4K 60FPS on the R10, though above 30FPS it does crop in on the sensor. The onboard microphone actually isn’t bad either. Battery life in my time with the camera was okay, but I’d definitely recommend having an extra battery or two if you’re going out for the day. The Canon camera app lets you use your phone as a remote, record location data, and view and pull photos from the camera. The app is okay, but it hasn’t changed a whole lot over the years and I wish it was a bit more seamless to use. Overall I’m really happy with the R10. It feels like all the camera I could ever want as a casual photographer and I hope Canon continues to grow this line of products.

Like many people nowadays I use my cell phone camera most of the time due to convenience and good picture quality. However, I wanted a mirrorless camera option that would be lightweight. easy to use and provide excellent image quality. Canon has always meant quality and expertise to me and I feel this Canon EOS R10 has met my requirements nicely. I took the camera with me on a weekend trip recently and I am very happy with the image quality of my pictures. The photos were sharp and the color accuracy was very good. Canon’s new APS-C sensor really does a stellar job capturing detail and the resolution quality left me with no complaints. Image stabilization was excellent as I noticed almost no issues with blurry pictures. The built-in flash and microphone met my requirements as a hobbyist, but those shooting at an advanced level might want external options to enhance lighting and audio further. Battery life has been great and more than adequate for my uses thus far. The quality and feel of the camera are very sturdy and has a comfortable feel to the grip. Controls are well placed and seem very intuitive. In addition to the electronic viewfinder, the swiveling LCD screen operates very smoothly and is a good size for picture viewing. The R10 starts up quickly when powered on and one simply has to set the lens to shooting position to start capturing images or video. It’s a really nice option to have a lightweight camera that shoots 4k video. The autofocus system includes Subject Detection and Subject Tracking for quicker shooting and stronger focus. I found the results of the video I shot to be excellent and it will be a convenient go to for capturing family events. I’d strongly recommend the Canon EOS R10 to anyone looking for a quality camera with some really nice features. It’s lightweight which means you’ll actually be inclined to use it and the reliability should be very high based on my experience with Canon products. I like that the camera comes with most everything one needs to get started in the hobby of photography, including the camera strap and battery charger. The camera offers great flexibility since it is compatible with a full range of lens mounts so one can take advantage of backward compatibility even. The included kit lens does not offer wide-angle capability which would have been nice to have, but it’s good to know that there are lots of lens options out there to add additional capabilities. I’m very satisfied with the value of the Canon EOS R10 and I look forward to more outings to make use of this great camera.

The Canon R10 is a great starter camera for a beginner, and even up to an intermediate user. I have owned many Canons and Lenses from consumer glass to L pro lenses. The new mirrorless camera works great with older lens (EF/EF-S) with an adapter. After several test shots with both old a new RF lenses, there were no differences in the auto focus or tracking that I could tell. The same result were achieved when recording the focus on my lens's was spot on, even when the focus was tracking an object coming towards the camera or side to side. The sensor is an APC sized cropped sensor with a Digic X processor. This processor is lightning fast in processing your pictures. The camera body is smaller than the D series but still fits into medium size hands just fine, the size and weight is saved via the removal of the Mirror mechanics. Without getting to much in detail, the specs are heavy on the R10: Dual pixel CMOS AFII, -4EV low light focus, 2.36 million dot EVF, 15FPS mechanical continuous, ISO up to 32,000, 23FPS continuous electronic shutter, 7.5cm 1.04 million dot touch screen, Digic X processor, 4K/30p oversample, 4K/60p smoother motion video, live stream YouTube (while connected to a hotspot or WiFi) In the box: The Camera came with a strap, battery, charger, R10 body and an 18-45 RF lens F4.5-6.3 Image stabilization. Great for Vloging, close up photos, or even selfies. The Image stabilization will allow you to take low light pictures better than a standard lens. Granted it won’t be much before your movement will make a low light picture blurry. For those occasions, I would recommend a tripod. But for Vloging the lens is perfect and can be hand help with smooth video even when walking. The colors captured in the multifocal points is impressive, I had a 50D and when I reviewed my pictures, I almost always had to process them after the fact with lightroom. But with the R10 my processing time has been cut in half. I was amazed at how well my pictures turned out. Most pictures needed little to no touching. I took some of my landscape photo’s and ran them through some of my basic edit and was amazed that I couldn’t tell the difference between edited and non-edited. As far as speed of focus. It is top notch. I used the camera at a local NHRA event that saw speeds of 338 MPH. The camera was able to nail a sharp picture at speed while having great bokeh with the background. The pictures really popped. I used the green zone for my pics, as I didn’t want to miss anything. But a few were manual. I looked at the settings that the green zone offered and built off of that. The camera still has the creative zone that can be used via the touch screen. Preset zones are, Auto that has a ton of preset effects. The Dial also includes; creative filters, video (4K), two creative buttons you can preset yourself, Bulb for long exposure, Manual to make your own settings, Aperture Value to set what type of background focus you want, Shutter priority to slow down or speed up the shutter for smooth water falls to freeze the action type pictures, Program mode where the camera does the shutter and aperture settings and you can do the rest. flexible priority to set your own back ground like shutter, aperture, and ISO or and one of them for creative pictures. The button and dials are laid out perfectly and can be accessed with taking your eye off the picture, the dial, video record, ISO, focus lock, shutter, F-stop are on the right side on top. The rear has a nub joystick, the info button, Menu, review picture, settings dial, AE lock, AF point selection. Should you need to transfer a picture to your smart phone to post on social media, your phone will connect via BT for the transfer. It took about 3 seconds to transfer a full resolution pic. Less than a second to transfer a reduced size image, perfect for posting. Be sure to shut off the WiFi/Bluetooth when done or it will drain your battery. The built-in flash is a nice touch when needed I found that up to about 7 feet the flash worked as it should without over doing it with hot spots or blown out areas. For shots like this I always use the histogram in the info session to make sure nothing is too dark or light when manually adjusting for photos. The battery was more than sufficient for a long day of shooting, as far as video it will record for about 55 minutes before needing recharged. For people new to these camera types, I would recommend searching up Fro Knows Photo, he has tons of videos and event a setup for this camera as well as others. If you are in the market for a great starter/vlogging camera the R10 is very versatile. You can vlog then turn around and go to the zoo or game and take pictures. You won’t need a huge back pack with extra equipment. I would maybe pick up a 70-200 lens and you will be good to go. Should you need a better flash, many companies make a flash suitable for your cameras hot shoe, I would ask the guys at BestBuy to set you up. Practice, Practice, Practice in all settings before you attempt to use this and expect great photos, your camera is only so smart. You need to know how to use if in occasions such as; indoor low light, indoor with florescent light, outdoor cloudy, sunny, low light. If you get familiar with this camera and a few lenses. I would stack this up against Cameras that are considerably more. Before setting out, make sure you have plenty of cards and batteries. Don’t skimp! Get genuine canon batteries and big-name memory cards. Look out for fakes. If you like Vlogging or just walking around with an all around great mirrorless camera this is your camera. I would recommend this to family and friends.
