A few years back, I was all in the Canon ecosystem, I had the Canon 6D DSLR and a few nice lenses that I loved! I traded all that in because it was too much gear to pack and carry for vacations. I found the mirrorless cameras that were coming out to be very nice and compact. Fast forward a few years later, while I still like Sony the mirrorless I have, I have to say, due to its small size, it’s not the most comfortable grip. When the opportunity to test the Canon R10 mirrorless presented itself, I happily obliged.
While it’s not as compact as other mirrorless cameras on the market, the R10 is a nice compromise of size and comfortable grip. With the strap anchor points, I can easily put a comfortable hand strap on this camera, something I had struggled with on my current mirrorless. The camera is fairly lightweight; the body is made from plastic with sections of rubber texture where your hands would be. At 3”, the screen is easy to see while you’re taking photos or using the touch screen to select menu items. Speaking of menus, I found the settings easy to use, this has not changed much from other Canon’s I’ve had. If I go to “Scene” mode, the icons displayed to select the scene you want are very intuitive. The description of each scene along with a sample photo of the scene makes this a great camera for beginners.
With the kit lens that’s included, I thought the photos I got were very good. Mostly sharp and colors seem fairly accurate. With the lowest aperture setting of 4.5, I wasn’t able to get any shots with the pleasing bokeh in the background. I generally don’t expect too much from the included lens. This lens is great for someone starting out. The R10 is backwards compatible with EF and EF-S (with optional EF-EOS R adapter) lenses, so there are plenty of great lenses to choose from.
When taking photos, the camera tries to guess what you want to focus on, it recognizes faces. If it’s not what you want to focus on, simply tap on the screen of what you want to focus on. For me, the best part is that it can auto focus when in video mode! I remember my previous Canon’s did not have this feature, which made taking videos difficult and mostly useless for me. To take videos, you simply press on the red button on top. No need to switch to “video” mode. Though you still can switch to video more for more video options. I tested the camera on a few occasions, one by the shore, where we came across a Praying Mantis. I also tested out the sport mode when my son decided to practice his skateboarding tricks. The photos came out very good, I think with a nice low aperture prime, you have an even better camera!
I would highly recommend this camera to anyone that is looking for a mirrorless camera. The R10 has many great features that makes it a versatile camera for the beginner or intermediate photographer. Want to blog, grab a tripod and flip out the 3” screen, plug in an external mic if needed! Going on vacation, this is the camera for you, not too large and it takes great photos and videos! With the Canon, you also have access to so many great lens usually at decent prices.

Great image quality. Love the touch screen and ability to press record like a phone. It’s small, lightweight yet super powerful. Colors are way more vibrant than the Sony’s. Shutter sounds a bit “clacky” but oh well. The images it produces are super. Battery life is pretty decent for a small battery. It can charge the battery in body with a usb c cable. Very handy.

Best entry level camera money can buy. It can fo exposure bracketing, focus stacking, has tge best autofocus for bird and wildlife photography and very decent battery life. It is so light weight you wont feel you are hiking with a camera which does it all.

Bought the R10 with the 18-150 kit lense for a trip to Europe. I was able to get up to speed rather quick thanks to YouTube. The camera performed well in low light and on the go around town.

I use this camera constantly! It is one of the best on the market in terms of affordable, yet consistently quality photos! Kit lens is great, but upgrading makes photos even better! Would recommend to anyone looking to get into photography!

I owned the R7 and upgraded and let me tell you this camera is amazing. It takes beautiful pictures in the sun, in the snow, and even at night. It’s truly a great camera.

This camera surprised me. It performs way past what you would expect from an entry level camera. Auto focus is quick like it anticipates where you want to focus. I bought the ef/rf adapter, so using all my old lenses is a bonus. Buy extra batteries.
