Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great features at an affordable price. Would suggest a different lense though like the 35mm

Awesome camera! Good interface and menus, would highly recommend

Excellent camera for the price, if you have the room in the budget the r7 is just a couple notches better

Camera is very nice, its much lighter than the previous model i have and when uou have a bag full of equipment it makes a difference. Also love the digital aspect!

Good quality product. Works as it should. Seems durable.

I would like if it was compatible with all other lenses

My son loved his Christmas gift. Great value for a great camera.

Battery cover is too loose and it look like ready to fall and broken.

Quality of lens can be better. Overall not a bad experience.

It’s very small camera i don’t like the small body

This camera does it all. Video, photo, I would highly recommend!

It arrived broken. The screen hada lit off burnt pixels.

The Canon EOS R10 is a nice quality camera w compact body. Under Bestbuy price-adjustment policy, I just got refund bc the price reduced.

Use QR code that pops up on camera to download App which asks permission to Bluetooth, connect location, and wifi, and to see all photos on camera or none….. the App allows for transfer of pics to your device where you can edit and share right away. A great feature on the camera is the lock button which allows you to lock your settings so you don’t inadvertently change them nor will it allow anyone else handling the camera to accidentally change them. When attaching the Lens, it’s best to read the instructions fully in the manual because you don’t want to get dust or allow other particles to become stuck on the inside of the lens. The lens cover comes off easily by pinching the front of the cover which allows it to detach. The rotating button attached to the on/off switch allows for one to rotate images taken once youre in playback mode. The red button on top makes it very easy to find/remember how to start recording. The strap included has the model number and Canon embroidered on it. One side of the strap seems to be a non-slip material. A sturdy strap indeed. The camera is surprising light, compact, yet packs a punch as far as the quality of the images. I especially love the different lighting options while taking pictures in the dark or at night. Just really fantastic in low light. Different choices of settings allow for better contrast. The vibrant colors can still be detected even in the darkness. Playback is easy, back bottom play button will allow you to quickly check your images/videos to see if you need to keep shooting more pics. Swivel touch screen can either stay docked behind the camera or pops out to allow for ease of angle shots. Small circular Switch in front bottom of camera allows for switching between auto focus and manual focus. On AF (Auto Focus) you pretty much point and click. On MF (manual focus) you adjust your settings accordingly. If the camera detects you need flash, a notification pops up on the screen indicating to lift up the flash. Movie modes include automatic, manual (you set shutter/aperture) or high definition which will have bright vibrant colors. I am loving the creative black and white grainy filter. There’s something to be said about seeing how your picture/image will look like, before you even shoot the image, especially in black and white. The creative filter includes, fish eye effect, soft focus, water painting effect, miniature effect and a bunch more cool filters. Wow!!! Love this! You can also set your mode or ratio to different settings and get a preview of which ratio would really do your photos justice. There are also 4 different HDR modes within the creative feature setting. Graphic art, oil painting, embossed (faded old paintings and more…. The scene mode allows for blurring of background to better focus on the subject; smooth skin mode does just that to your photos; group photo ensures as many ppl are in focus as possible; landscape has wide options available allowing you to capture more of breathtaking scenery, and just like many smart phone cameras have, a panoramic option is available and is activated by moving the camera as you press and hold the shutter button. The sports function is awesome bc there’s always someone or even an animal that we want to capture in action while still keeping focus and this function (sports) and the kids function allows for continuous shooting. There’s an option to take pics of food!!!! Love this! My teen had a photography project that spanned many months, a few years ago and food was her subject. I can definitely see this option being used again and a lot. Some modes have a preset number of photos it will take when just pressing the shutter button once. This allows for a higher probability of obtaining that perfect shot while an object is in motion. This camera will by far get the most use and be most enjoyed out of all the cameras I own. It’s super user friendly and easy to access all the various options and there are plenty of options for every level of photographer. I highly recommend this camera.

GOOD - Excellent photo and video capabilities - Phenomenal auto focus and subject tracking system - Good controls on body - Nicely compact size - Fast burst shooting BAD - 18-45 lens is thoroughly "meh" - Non-backlit photo sensor - No in-body image stabilization (IBIS) - Body isn't weatherproof - Battery life could be better - No headphone jack ( for video recording ) - Sheer amount of options and settings can be intimidating TL/DR For a photography enthusiast looking to step up to a more serious camera without dropping thousands on a professional rig, the R10 is one of the best options currently out there. If you're a big vlogger or internet personality, the R10 is very capable at video recording, but the lack of IBIS could make it a bad choice if you do a lot of walk-and-talk videos. DETAILS Cell phone cameras have gotten very good in the last few years, but their small size still greatly limits the sensor size, aperture control, and zoom. They're perfectly adequate if you only want to snap candids at birthday parties and family reunions. But if you want print quality originals for important events like weddings, high-quality zooms at kids' soccer games, or more manual control for specific creative composition, their limitations quickly become apparent. Canon's mirrorless cameras use a similar naming convention to their professional DSLR cameras in that lower numbers indicate higher-end cameras. However they don't use multiple product line names to divide cameras into different segments ( Rebel being entry-level or double-digit XXD models as prosumer products ). So with the EOS R10 being the highest number in the EOS R line, you'd expect it to be somewhat low-end, and that's misleading. The R10 has plenty of features far better than you'd expect on a low-end camera like a Rebel. The R10's auto focus and eye detection system is the same as you find in the much pricier R models. It's incredibly fast and accurate, far better than you'll find on nearly any sub-$1000 camera. Controls too are on par with higher-end cameras, with two top finger dials and compatibility with RF lens control rings. It will capture both HDR and SDR video in 1080 and 4K resolution at 24, 30, and 60 fps. All video except 4K/60 is supersample recorded using the entire sensor ( 4K/60 is cropped to use just the central native 4K resolution ). The camera has an enormous number of options and settings in the menu. The basic manual barely mentions any of them. Instead you have to dig through the 900-page advanced manual to understand what they all do. For the "as expected" features, the sensor is APS-C size instead of full-frame. It also only has a single SD slot, though it is UHS-II capable. The battery and SD cover is on the bottom of the grip, not the side, so some tripod mounts might block it. The viewfinder and swivel screen are perfectly adequate: nothing stellar, but not a let down. You have normal wireless connectivity, like WiFi and Bluetooth for transferring media and remote controls, including syncing to your phone. Physical connection ports include USB-C for normal file transfer, micro HDMI, 3.5mm microphone input, and standard remote shutter control. So, with all this goodness, Canon had to cut something out to keep it from undercutting the pricier EOS R cameras, apart from the smaller APS-C sensor and lower 24MP resolution. The big thing lacking is in-body image-stabilization ( IBIS ). Not that every sub-$1000 camera has IBIS either, but the next up EOS R to have it is the R7 at about $500 more. The camera does have digital stabilization for video recording, and IS lenses help a bit too, but people who take a lot of videos while walking around will certainly miss the feature. To make it worse for video recording, there is no headphone jack for you to be able to monitor audio input. Also, it doesn't have color profile control for either SDR or HDR shooting. Other small nags is the lack of weather sealing and the sensor not being backside illuminated. The battery life is also not great. The lens that comes in this particular kit is thoroughly mediocre. It is a stabilized lens, which counts for something, but the 18-45mm range ( 29mm-72mm equivalent ) is rather unimpressive, especially with a maximum 4.5/6.3 aperture. It's enough for beginners, but even middling photographers will quickly tire of it being so often not quite enough ( either not quite enough zoom, not quite wide enough, or just a little too dark ). It does have two good things going for it. The lens is quite light and retracts to make it very compact ( though the R10 does not auto deploy or retract it when powered on and off ). If you already have a selection of EF mount lenses, you can get EF to RF adapter rings, making it easier to migrate over. But if you don't already have lenses to use, the 18-150mm 3.5/6.3 lens found on the other R10 bundle is much more usable. All in all, the R10 is a strange mix of premium and low-end amateur. It has a lot of things you'd expect from a prosumer camera, like twin control dials and great burst shooting capabilities with UHS-II support and a fast 15 fps mechanical shutter. It also lacks a few things you'd want at this price point, like a BSI sensor, an alloy frame and weatherproofing, IBIS, and a bigger battery. Those are disappointing but understandable. Then there are downright weird omissions, like giving it fantastic 4K/60 HDR video recording, but no headphone jack or color log profiles. Finally, it gets weird the other way as Canon put the same auto focus system in the R10 as in the much pricier EOS R3 and R5. Balanced altogether, the good far outweighs the bad. The advanced auto-focus and eye-detection system in the R10 benefits every shooter of every level, whether stills or video, and any kind of subject. Most of the negatives are mostly annoyances, not deal-breakers. No IBIS can be a big problem when recording moving video or when using very long lenses. Vloggers and those making walk-and-talk videos every other day are the biggest impacted since this camera is in the price range for that activity. Those needing serious moving video will likely have a gimbal and dedicated video camera. And pairing a pricey telephoto lens with this body, and its compact sensor, is not something many people will do. If you've decided you want to get more seriously involved in digital photography with a healthy dash of videography, the R10 is one of the best places start. If you're primarily interested in video, the R10 can still be a good choice, provided you know about its shortcomings. If you primarily record from a tripod and you don't worry too much about color mastering, you ought to consider the R10 as well.

This is my first really nice camera and after a few days of figuring out how to use it, I would say this camera really makes a great camera for photography enthusiasts like myself. I won’t be able to give you a very good technical review because it took me days to figure a lot of the settings out, but I am happy to share what I learned about this camera and why it makes a great camera for other beginner to intermediate photographers. First off, the camera is very light yet sturdy, and feels great in hand. It is balanced and not awkward to hold and zoom. The controls are easy to navigate and the flip out touchscreen makes it easy to work with. Also, if you are taking video or pictures of yourself, you can use the flip out screen to make sure you are in good focus. The mechanical shutter is great for fast bursts and starts out at 15 fps which is perfect for filming action scenes. When using the mechanical shutter it is kind of loud and sounds like a quiet machine gun. There is also a digital shutter that can be used. Also, after a few seconds it fills the memory buffer and starts to slow down but I haven’t found that I need much more than a few second burst to capture the photos I wanted. The lens that it comes with is nice because it has image stabilization built in and is easy to take crystal clear pictures at decent zoom levels. Moreover, the autofocus works really well and somehow knows to follow the eyes around when you set it to take pictures of people. There are settings to autofocus on objects or vehicles also. I haven’t adjusted the ISO range much but haven’t really needed to. The battery life seemed good to me. I was comparing to some other models and it might be a little less than other models but, importantly, it has enough juice to film at least a half hour of video, or to last most of a weekend if you are taking a casual amount of pictures. If plugged in, you don’t need to worry about battery life. And the Canon replacement battery is a pretty common one, so a backup battery is easy to find and not very expensive. Overall, I have been impressed with the quality of pictures this camera takes and how easy it is to use. I want to keep experimenting with the different settings, but even with the limited knowledge I’ve gained I’m impressed and would recommend this camera to other photography enthusiasts.

I’ve recently revived my interest in photography. For many years, I’ve carried around my trusty Canon Rebel XT, but after 17 years it was time to upgrade. One of my biggest gripes with my previous setup was just the weight and heft of carrying around the camera and several lenses. So, I’ve been looking to reduce the amount I have to carry. My first purchase was the excellent Sony RX10 Mark IV, and while this is not a review of that camera, I will make a few comparisons to it. While the Sony RX10 iv is truly a “do it all” camera, you definitely won’t mistake it for a small and light camera. That’s where the new Canon R10 shines. It’s Canon’s new entry into the mirrorless market, and it’s targeted at beginners or those who want a second Canon to go with their current setup. I’m not a beginner, but I am a casual photographer who appreciates good equipment. The first thing you’ll notice when you open the box is just how small this camera is. I got the kit, which includes Canon’s 18-45mm IS USM lens, part of their new lineup of RF-mount lenses. This lens won’t do the trick if you really need to zoom in, but it’s incredibly small and light, and turned out to be plenty bright for my needs. Canon includes a battery, strap, and battery charger in the package. I was appreciative of the charger, since Sony does not include one with their camera. This is one of those small things that just ought to be there, so kudos to Canon for not choosing the cheap way out. The R10 features a fully articulating screen, something that I haven’t seen in my last few cameras, and something even the Sony RX10 iv is missing. Why does this matter? It’s a convenience thing, allowing you to easily take photos from a variety of viewpoints, from well below your eyes to above them at the end of your outstretched arm, and even allows you to take a selfie. Yeah, I know, really important stuff. The screen is also touch-sensitive, which is great for those times when you need to make a quick change in setting or for responding to menu choices. One thing that was immediately apparent was the Canon menu system. I haven’t used a newer Canon, so the updated menu system was a very pleasant surprise. Today’s crop of prosumer cameras have a bewildering array of options, and digging through the menus can be tedious. Canon’s menus may not be the best example of best practices in design, but I found them to be very intuitive. What I liked the most was the information given when using each of the different shooting modes, such as aperature priority or shutter priority. When using the scene (SCN) mode, explanatory text and sample pictures give you an idea of what using that mode will do. Compared to the Sony, this is a much simpler system to use. The R10 doesn’t have any world-changing features, but it does have what you’d expect. It comes with one card slot, but it would have been nice to have a second for backup. Zooming the lens or deploying the flash are both done manually. I actually like this, as it gives the photographer more control and extends battery life a bit. It features a generous array of physical controls, and they’re fairly intuitive to figure out. Things like shooting mode (single/continuous), ISO and flash all have dedicated buttons, so you won’t have to hunt through menus to find those. The R10 has the ability to shoot up to 15 fps with the mechanical shutter (which is a bit loud), or up to 23 fps with the electronic shutter. This is more than enough for most anything, and pretty impressive at this level. The only limit to continuous shooting is the camera’s buffer, so you will need to time your usage appropriately. The wide range of features on the R10 makes it easy to get the shots you want in a variety of situations. Eye detection is included for both people and animals, and it works very well. There is also a panning feature that allows you to move the camera while tracking a moving vehicle, resulting in a photo with the car in focus and the background blurred. These are just two examples of the wide range of options available for shooting in various situations. I’m impressed with how many options exist to help you get just the shot you want. While a “real” photographer might not need things like creative effects settings, I found them to be very useful to get the shot. There are easy settings to blur the background, change the brightness, saturation, color tone or shoot in monochrome. There’s even a setting that allows you to make a scene appear as if it’s a miniature. It’s not something you’ll need every day, but it’s fun if you want it. Canon also offers an app that allows you to control the camera remotely and preview the photos on the camera. Connecting the app with the camera was pretty straightforward and worked well. Sony’s app is barely functional, and apps for other camera peripherals were iffy at best, so it was nice that this one actually worked. I’m much more interested in still photos than video, but the R10 handles video with ease. Videos are sharp and colorful, and the image stabilization makes for smooth panning. While it’s not something I’ll do a lot of, it’s good to know that the R10 is a capable video camera as well as a still camera. The Canon R10 is a great way to get a lot of functionality and advanced features without breaking the bank. It’s also a great starting point, since the lenses are the same ones used across the Canon line. And this is actually something to think about. The RF-S lenses are pretty expensive. Canon only introduced 2 new lenses when the R10 (and its big brother the R7) came out. This means that if you want to add other lenses, you’ll have to go with one of the RF lenses from the full-frame lineup, and those aren’t cheap. So, it’s great to have the option, but you need to be aware of the cost. Hopefully Canon will introduce some more lenses targeted at their APS-C cameras that are a little more affordable. The R10 does not have stabilization built into the body, so you’ll have to buy lenses with IS built in. The combination of a smaller, lighter camera with the feature set and performance offered by the R10 makes for a very compelling package. It’s aimed squarely at cameras in the “prosumer” market, but with better performance and the flexibility to add lenses as needed. If you’re considering this camera, you’re likely comparing it to other Canons, like those in the Rebel series. In my opinion, the R10 provides better performance, the same APS-C sensor, but in a smaller, lighter mirrorless body with access to the new RF-S lens lineup, as well as the legacy EF lenses with the use of an adapter. It also shoots higher-quality video and its 15 fps blows away the 7 fps offered by the T8i, at a comparable price point. Once Canon adds some more quality, affordable RF lenses to their lineup, this may be the perfect place to start in the realm of serious digital photography.

I'll start off by stating that I'm more partial to Nikon, but this camera might sway me. The Canon - EOS R10 Mirrorless Camera is such a great product. Much lighter than a regular DSLR, this camera is a delight to operate. I have not played around with the manual settings, the scenes and presets included are great as they are. This will almost be used exclusively by beginners with this camera. I'd like to get a macro lense and see how that performs. Set up is easy, the only thing that threw me off was adjusting the lense for the first time. You need to turn it clockwise until it disengages. I had to google how to adjust it as the instructions included weren't the best. This will become my main camera to use while traveling. It's light, very nice form factor and feels great while snapping photos. I would recommend this camera for anyone that wants to get into photography with something that is more than just point and shoot. I've been doing photography (for fun) for over 20 years and I'm very happy and impressed with this camera.

I want to start this review by saying I am a complete novice with cameras. I do consider myself tech-savvy. I have been editing videos and doing web development for nearly 13 years now. I started at 14 years old. I am not an experienced photographer that will compare this to their other cameras or nitpick every camera detail and feature. My first impression is that Canon cares about protecting its device and lens. Everything came well protected. I started by charging the battery and putting in my SD card (which I got separately). The battery charges via an adapter that plugs into the wall. You can also charge via USB-C. I left it charging for nearly an hour like this, yet nothing happened. Perhaps it was an incompatible charge or was too short. The wall charger works great. There is a light indicator letting you know it is charging and charged. The camera also comes with a neck strap. I am not a fan; it is slightly uncomfortable. The screen, by default, goes to sleep after ten seconds. I immediately changed that. That was annoying in the beginning. I would be about to get my shot, and the screen would go dark. I would assume they did this to preserve battery life. From what I can tell, you should be able to get 3-4 hours of use. I may one day grab a spare battery. I would not say it is a beginner camera. Occasionally, there are helpful tip popups, but not many. I am learning about new features and this camera's capability through YouTube. For example, one quirk about the camera, the menu is different depending on which mode you are using. I'm not sure I would notice something like that. I have taken some good photos with it. With time and knowledge, I am sure they will get better. I cannot fairly judge it since it is my first camera. I at least know it is not the best. One of my main reasons for getting this camera is the flip screen. Every camera should have that feature. When video recording, there is a slight static recorded during the video. The static easily could be silenced during editing. I do look forward to getting a microphone for this camera. It does not get loud enough with the built-in speakers. It was also annoying that the card reader light began flashing red during playback. Quite distracting and unnecessary. I tried the transfer feature. It was pretty reliable for the most part. Twice it disconnected, out of maybe the ten times I used it. It was quick to repair to my phone. Overall, it is not perfect. I would say for someone like me that wants to skip the beginner camera, this is perfect.

As someone interested in photography and wanted to start out on the hobby, this camera was a great choice. Paired with a good general purpose lens, you really get a feel for what kind of pictures you like to take. What is great is that you are able to go all out on the RF lens lineup and be able to reuse them in Canon's other mirrorless cameras should you need to upgrade in the future. The camera itself is pretty easy to use. The software that comes with allow you to choose different shooting scenes and let the camera do all the work in picking the best options for you. For a beginner, this gives you the best way to test different settings at a time and still get great pictures. If you decide to go full manual, the buttons for the most part are pretty user friendly. You have your shutter speed dial for the index finger, and you can control the aperture with either the dial on the power button, or a combination of holding another button with your thumb and sliding the shutter dial. There doesn't seem to be a ISO adjuster without going through some menus. The quick options menu can sometimes get in the way, you'll find your palm accidentally pressing some buttons when trying to get a good grip on the camera. You are able to lock it though, but that locks all the buttons which may not be desirable if you're trying to find the right settings. The screen is a touchscreen, and leaves little to no fingerprints when using. It is very responsive and fully adjustable to face in any direction you need it to. If you are used to using a back button, like on a smartphone, you'll really start to wish that was a dedicated button. There can be quite a few inconsistencies as to which button will let you go back when going through the menus. Reviewing your pictures is a little limited as you'll have to go picture by picture. Sometimes you'll want to have a filesystem so you can quickly review your photos. You can connect to the camera from your computer with a usb-c cable and browse your photos that way, which is convenient. This also allows you to charge your battery so you don't need to use the dedicated wall charger. It's a little disappointing that it only comes with one battery, but you can find replacement LP-E17 batteries elsewhere. The manual that comes with is very sparse in what it tells you. Canon has one on their site that goes into way more detail about each functionality. Overall, I really like this camera. You don't have to break the bank to get some quality photos, and if anything, a lot of the picture quality comes from the user's skill. The auto function does a great job and you'll find it usually gives you what you want. I am looking forward to taking this on my future trips and documenting all the memories.
