Customer Ratings & Reviews

My first camera, couldn’t be more happy with it. Hoping to get a 50mm lens as soon as I can find the funds.

Really good camera for my photography class. Many options with the base model. I can add options with new lenses in the future.

Pretty great camera to start off on I’m no expert but it has great focus, adaptability to lens on top it’s a mirrorless. For the focus, colors, lighting it’s great the lines are a form of watermarking it.

easy to take pictures and beautiful when taken ...

Phenomenal performance for the fraction of the price! My 3rd canon - this being the least expensive but outstanding piece! Compact with various shooting modes and features! Exceeded my expectations!

So far a great camera to get back into photography with!

Love it!, perfect for photography! My friends loves it too!

Quick camera. Good overall basic for beginner taking casual photos. The lens that comes with is not great. You will need to purchase a better one. The zoom is not far and not automatic

tbh so far camera is doing its job good for beginner.

Best purchase, absolutely in love with this camera and the quality!!

It’s very good and zoom. Fun and enjoy take pictures and videos etc

The Canon EOS R100 is just okay. Best Buy advertises it as if it’s on sale, but the so-called "sale" price is actually just the regular MSRP you’ll find at other stores. It's frustrating to see this kind of pricing strategy, which feels like a bit of a hustle. If you're serious about getting quality for your money, I’d suggest skipping this and saving up around $200 more to go for a Sony camera instead. The difference in quality and features will likely be worth the extra investment.

I have only used it twice and have lots to learn but so far it’s great.

It’s a nice camera I use it to take pictures mainly

I like this product a lot I’m so happy to have got it from a place with amazing employees!!

Excellent acquisition especially with the micro lens

The Canon EOS R100 is an entry level mirrorless camera that takes good photos but lacks some features that some may consider important to them. I view this camera as a chance to really learn photography without a ton of bells and whistles to see if this is a real hobby or art form for me without having to invest a lot into a camera set-up. All of my point and shoot digital cameras before the dominance of smartphone cameras were made by Canon but this is my first mirrorless Canon camera. I was pleasantly surprised to find that a lot of the controls and buttons were familiar and similar layout to that of my previous Canon Point and Shoot with manual controls. This particular set comes with the R100 body, the RF-S 18-45mm kit lens, battery, charger and a camera strap. There are minimal paper instructions included but the entire manual is available on the Canon website and there is a QR code for easy access within the camera’s menu. This is probably one of the few technology items that I actually think is important to read to fully understand the camera because the camera is not fully intuitive unless you plan to only use auto mode. I found the instruction manual to be well written, clear and easy to navigate. The overall build of the camera felt strong and not flimsy at all. The camera is lightweight and quite small, which makes it portable and something I want to take around with me. It isn’t small enough to be pocketable but will fit into any medium size handbag easily. Despite its small size, it does feel comfortable in my hand and pretty ergonomic. The grip is sticky enough to not have any fears of dropping the camera. The camera takes good photos and has the option to be completely auto for those who don’t want to learn all the manual controls. I won’t unnecessarily list all the tech specs here but provide all I would expect in a modern camera to produce good photographs. A common concern is if it can produce better photos than a high end phone camera can and the answer is yes. However, I found that it does take a bit more knowledge and practice to get the same results that phone cameras produce instantly with its auto processing. There is a bit of a learning curve that I am still working on as expected with cameras with manual controls. I really enjoy having the viewfinder. It helps in bright light and the sensor turns off the screen when viewing through the viewfinder. I find the viewfinder helps with focusing on composition and it is just plain nice to have something that is not a screen when everything these days is screen based. The menus are not immediately intuitive but they do become easy to use after getting used to them and repeated use. The default is a guided menu that explains what each setting does. It is really helpful especially for beginners or someone new to a Canon mirrorless system. The guided menu can be turned off once you get used to it. The cons of this camera is what it is missing. Understandably, as an entry level camera, there are some items that have been left out to make it affordable. What is surprising though is that some of those items are ones that are on my almost decade old Canon Point and Shoot. I think the most noteworthy missing features are (1) no touch screen, (2) no swivel or rotating screen, (3) no USB-C charging, and (4) no body IS. I didn’t think I would mind that there was no touch screen but it turns out it is something I really wish the camera had. I find myself often wanting to touch the screen to zoom in when reviewing photos or going through the menus faster. While using the buttons to scroll is fine, touch screens are just so intuitive and commonplace now that it really is annoying to not have one on this camera. I really miss not being able to select a focus point on the screen which is something easily done on a phone camera and screen. The fixed screen is fine with me as a person who mostly wants to take photographs but it does mean that it can’t be used for someone who vlogs or takes photos at angles that need the flexibility of the screen being visible at those positions. USB-C charging would be nice but I don’t mind using the charger and battery. Not having IS in the body is easily compensated by having a lens with IS and really for an entry level camera, I don’t expect IS. The important consideration in purchasing this camera is whether Canon picked the right features to eliminate and if they are just nice to have rather than expected and necessary in a modern camera. Overall, I think eliminating the touch screen and having it be fixed, makes this not right for people who want more than to just take photographs. It’s probably not good for social media content creation or selfies. I like that this camera uses the RF and RF-S lenses. There is not much variety yet but it is the line that Canon keeps adding lenses to. This will allow me to have more choices in the future to grow with the lenses. This is a small sensor format and I do have to take into account cropping when looking at new lenses (as opposed to full frame cameras). The ability to buy third party lenses is limited unless an adapter is purchased. For now, the included kit lens (RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3) is plenty and will allow me to experiment for a bit. The kit lens is plastic but not flimsy at all and helps keep the entire set-up lightweight and portable. Overall, I am having fun learning photography with the Canon R100. This is an affordable and good camera to expand into photography with more manual controls. It, however, is not a versatile camera that will be appropriate for those wanting to make social media content and expecting all the technological advances they are used to with camera phones. This is a purely entry level camera for those that are perhaps upgrading from older DSLRs or to start their journey into mirrorless cameras and interchangeable lens cameras.

I’ve been a fan of canon cameras for a long time now, having had a Canon Rebel T3i for many years that has served me well. I was looking for something that had 4K formats and would be more compact than the Rebel, but still has plenty of advanced features so I picked up the Canon EOS R100 with RF-S 18-45MM Lens. Pros: - Super light weight - Easy to use. - 4K photo and video! Cons: - No flip around LCD screen. - Different size lens (EOS R100 uses the Canon RF-S) In the box, this kit contains the Camera body, a Lens (RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM), Charger, Battery, Lens caps, neck strap and some manuals. Setup is quick, the battery comes with some charge but will need a full charge before you set out. I wasn’t aware the RF-S lens needed to be extended, so I received the “Set the lens to the shooting position” message on the camera when I first turned it on. I was not sure what this indicated, which led me to look it up online, and a few mins later extended the lens by twisting the white dot indicator to the first setting. After that, the camera was good to go! The only two let downs on this model in comparison to the Rebel I had was the change in Lens series and no flip out LCD screen. The Lens change made sense, with the smaller body of the camera and new lens technology things are going to change. There is an adapter mount between the EF and RF lens, that would allow the use of the older lens, but I’d prefer to just buy an updated lens to take advantage of the smaller size of the newer lens. The other let down, no flip out screen will probably only matter to a few users with specific use cases, but it was something nice to have if you were using the camera as a video camera. The biggest benefit of the Canon EOS R100 is the size and weight of the camera, this thing is tiny and light weight compared to older models. It was so light in fact, that I was concerned that the shipping box was empty when I received it! The new camera body is only XXX, your lens will vary by model but the included RF-S 18-45mm comes in at only XXX. The compactness and light weight nature of this camera makes it great for on the go or travel, plus if you have an older camera bag it should fit well along with a couple of lenses. The kit includes one LP-E17 battery and a compact flip-out charger that charges the battery in about 2 to 4 hours. The estimated use time of the battery at room temperature is only an hour and half, which means I’ll probably pick up a few spare batteries sooner than later. But this will only matter if you’re using your camera for longer sessions than one battery would last. Like most canon cameras, there is an easy-to-use settings dial that pretty much explains itself. I’m no pro, so I’m not going to bore you with all the possible settings, but the settings I use the most are Scene Intelligent Auto and Special Scene. Both either adjust the settings for you based on the conditions or fix the settings to shoot a specific type of condition. Canon has pretty much perfected the settings dial, but I’m not a Professional, so I know I don’t use many of the hidden features available in manual mode. One of the main reasons for getting a newer Camera was for the 4K video and photo format. The Canon EOS R100 has a 24.1 MP sensor which can capture a resolution of 6000 by 4000 pixels. For video, the EOS R100 can capture 4K at 24 FPS, but can also capture Full HD at 60 FPS which is far better than my old camera! Overall, I think the Canon EOS R100 is a great camera. It is a huge upgrade over my old Canon Rebel T3i, with plenty of new features all in a much smaller camera. I would suggest the Canon EOS R100 for beginners or semi-pro’s who want a camera that is full feature but compact and lightweight. I can’t wait to put this to good use on my next photo project!

I like having a point and shoot style camera to supplement my cellphone when the situation calls for it. What I don't like about them is the inability to change lenses. Though cameras that allow lens changes are bulky and heavy, making them unpractical to carry around for impromptu photo ops. That's why the Canon Eos R100 caught my eye; it has the professional quality and look of a DSLR without the bulkiness and weight. This mirrorless 24Mp camera has some really good features for an entry level unit. The included lens has a smooth range of zoom and does a great job in dark areas without the flash. The hot shoe is great for adding a pro flash or a stereo mic (the camera's built-in mic is mono). The main screen is bright and crisp, but is not touchscreen, which is odd and constraining. In bright sunlight, glare can be excessive, so it's great to have a viewfinder with an equally crisp and high-resolution screen. I was a bit disappointed in the 4k video, being cropped and sequestered to only 24p, which is ok but should've been better. I was surprised when I took several photos, and the camera combined them to form a video by adding a couple of seconds before and after each shot and stringing them together. Had I known, I wouldn't have been aiming at the floor as often before taking the shot. There a lot of scene modes and the onscreen navigation is very easy to get around and gives you brief descriptions of how you would use the feature. The built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth makes it easy to connect to your phone, transfer media or control the camera, using the Camera Connect app from Canon. It's surprisingly lightweight given its similar form factor to the R8 and 6D. I was able to purchase a lens adapter so I could use my father's EF lenses, which meant I didn't have to buy all new RF lenses, saving me money.

As a novice photographer the R100 was extremely accessible in the features that are a priority to me. Mainly I work my way down from 'the big three', shutter speed, ISO, and aperture. Then I can get into the nuance of fine tuning (provided I have time). I can also say the camera did a pleasing job in auto and intelligent auto. First off, I'm not too picky when it comes to menu and submenu systems. As long as there is no lag then I'm okay with taking time to familiarize how to get to the setting I need. Also, I have a wide latitude with camera ergonomics. Nothing on the R100 felt uncomfortable or off balance. The electronic viewfinder was good. I didn't experience any refresh rate issues or noticeable screen lag. The rear screen is bare bones and nothing special. There's nothing egregiously wrong with it, but it doesn't swivel, fold out, and no touchscreen. A touchscreen would have been super convenient, but it has all necessary information and is readable in outside sun. The camera is still image focused seeing as the video resolution with the most setting control is 1080. It can shoot 4k but you lose a lot of control when shooting and depletes the battery quicker. I love the ability to connect and send images to mobile devices. That's a huge plus when out and about with friends and wanting to send good quality photos over Wi-Fi/Bluetooth. The R100 is a good entry level camera. It's small form and light weight make it suitable to take on the go and while I wish it had a touchscreen and more 4k control, I am very pleased with the images I was able to get out of the camera. There's nothing that got in the way of my camera taking experience. I was able to get pleasing results in every mode and in multiple shooting conditions.
