If you're starting off in photography, this is a great camera to ease yourself into it. Easy to use and edit

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!)

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!

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.

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.
