Customer Ratings & Reviews

To be clear, this is an entry level mirrorless camera. It's very powerful and takes excellent pictures, without things that are most useful for professionals. Being a mirrorless, the body is lightweight and compact (compared to reflex cameras). The size of the sensor is what's called APS-C. What this means is that in high end cameras. The size of the sensor (what's inside the body of the camera that receives the image from the lens) is comparable in size to a 35mm film. In this case the sensor is roughly the size of an APS film (This was a newer film popular in the late '90s that was much smaller than 35mm, commonly used in pocket film cameras). Now, since technology advanced much over the years, this is still a good size and obviously a magnitude larger than on smartphones. This kit comes with an RF-S 18-45mm lens. RF lenses are the newer format used by Canon on its range of mirrorless cameras, and those lenses work here as well, however, this uses the 'RF-S' lenses. The reason being the size of the sensor. Full size RF lenses will project an image larger than the size of the sensor, so some of the optical image is lost and the image appears zoomed in (in full resolution, but as if the lens were a zoom version of it). So the RF-S lenses focus its image on the smaller sensor. The diameter of the lens is the same so it can use the same filters, but the length of the lens ends up being more compact, so the end result is that RF-S cameras are more portable than full-size ones. The Digic 8 control unit used here is the one below their flagship, and it works very well on this camera. Autofocus is very accurate and fast for most situations. In fully automatic mode pictures come in focus and good lighting most of the time. The whole camera feels very responsive. I used different Canon cameras before from 35mm prosumer to pocket digital cameras, so controls will feel familiar to anyone that used a Canon camera before. The digital viewfinder is very clear and easy to use. For people wearing glasses, there is a slider underneath to adjust focus and it works great in my case as I can use it without wearing glasses. The screen is very clear and detailed although it's not touchscreen. This was somewhat expected, although the controls are easy to use. Also the screen is fixed to the body and does not rotate. It has a hot shoe and the built-in flash is good, although it does not pop-up on its own. Lifting the flash uses auto flash mode or it can be set to always on, through the side controls. Wired connectivity: On one side it has a 2.5mm external mic input and wired remote control. On the other side there is a micro HDMI and USB-C. The single battery and single SD cards are accessible from the bottom. I have to say was excited that the camera has USB-C but quickly got disappointed as it can only be used for copying images/videos from the camera to a computer. It does not charge the battery and it cannot be used for video. The battery life seems very good (compared to older cameras) but it has to be charger with a proprietary charger, included, that connects to a 110v outlet. Wireless connectivity included Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. It does not have a built-in GPS but it uses the CameraConnect app from Canon to obtain GPS from the phone while connected via Bluetooth. Wi-Fi connectivity is feels a world away from a smartphone. It can connect to a local network to upload images to Cannon's cloud service or to print to a local printer but most of the time it's used when connected to a smartphone. The CameraConnect app first establishes a Bluetooth connection and when needed it slowly negotiates Wi-Fi direct connection to the camera. In that mode, it can copy pictures to the phone or use the phone as a remote control, which also streams images (with a lot of lag). The remote control app works well although it's a bit basic and a bit clunky, although it does work as intended. The app remote control even allows for touch to autofocus, which the camera itself does not do. While picture quality is excellent, recording in 4K is limited to 24 FPS. 1080P can be 60 FPS, 30 FPS or 24 FPS, as well as 720P at 60 FPS. Overall it's a great camera, it's very friendly to use. It goes from fully automatic to multiple scenes with either shutter priority (action pictures) or aperture priority (focus on an object with softer backgrounds, etc.), several digital filters to full manual modes, so it grows with one's skills. Price to function ratio is very high. I do recommend this camera.

This is a camera for someone who wants to get into photography. I’m no professional but as someone who dabbles in photography, this camera is great for learning or for someone who simply wants a camera that can take nice pictures without the complicated stuff. The best feature this camera has is the multiple shooting modes. Canon did a great job at providing a small bit of information for each mode in an easy manner. I don’t ever plan to be a professional but would love to have semi-professional-looking photos and these modes will certainly be of assistance. Some of the modes are: Scene Intelligent Auto: Create beautiful images using the auto scene detection feature(great for taking most photos, the camera will adjust settings as needed) Shutter Priority AE: Adjust the shutter speed to make moving subjects look still or capture motion blurring (think of taking a picture of someone running) Creative Filters: Adds a filter to the image that gives the image a unique look, some filters are water painting effect (makes the image look like it was water painted, HDR art vivid(mimics vivid graphic art), grainy black and white(black and white photo), and miniature effect(makes it look like there was a picture taken of a mini model) The camera does have a nice screen, but it is not a touch screen. As a beginner, button navigation can be a bit of a learning curve. I would’ve preferred a touch screen but I think it is acceptable at this price point. There are two ways one can take photos with this camera. The first way is to use the screen and the second way is to use the digital viewfinder. I prefer the digital viewfinder since it provides a distraction-free environment when used and clarity is much better. Flash is also included and can be used by popping up the flash module and enabling it within the camera’s settings if needed. Video can also be recorded and there are several modes for video too. The camera is smaller compared to others of this caliber and that should make this camera easily portable. I just recommend some sort of case since none was included. Also, the Canon Camera Connect app is amazing. It is easy to use, and the app is a great way to quickly import photos from the camera into your phone. Firmware updates can be downloaded and installed through the app too. Overall, this is a solid entry-level camera for beginners and for someone who wants a camera that will take professional-looking photos without the learning curve that is required. The camera includes many features that will assist you in being able to take the best photos possible. If you are searching for a lightweight, portable, and professional-looking camera, I recommend you give this one a shot!

This is a day and night difference between what its replacing. The t7 looks like dogwater compared to the r100 literally. The t7 was yellow in every picture and has the clarity of looking through filmy hot dog water. The lenses for EF were so soft that every picture looked like a foggy sauna window. This is hands down the best intro mirrorless camera. So much better than an iphone. The picture i uploaded is shot on the r100.

THIS CAMERA IS GREAT! From amazingly quick settings to stunning optics, I hands down love this camera! This camera comes with a quick manual that is QR accessable, super easy to read and understand; even for beginners! The lens is beautiful, the camera is a nice compact size for anything and it doesnt trade quality at all. An amazing pick for quick travel photography, beginners, and more! This camera helped me persue my dream of photography and luckily the quality helped my quickly developing portfolio gain traction and fast! From shots of all types of stagework to closeups on flowers, pet pictures & the night sky all matching in quality! A beautiful camera for a beautiful job! I would definitely recommend this camera no matter how new or experienced you are with photography! Thank you.

The Canon EOS R100 is smaller than most DSLR cameras, but don’t be fooled by its size as this is a powerful little camera. The R100 doesn’t come with a lot of accessories, it has the base camera, the lens, battery/charger, and a shoulder strap. You will need to buy your own memory card. I used a Samsung micro SDXC 128gb class 10, I just put it in an adapter and the camera took it with no problem. The camera does have built-in WiFi and Bluetooth so you can use your smartphone as a remote and/ transfer your pictures to your phone wirelessly, but it does take a minute if you have long videos. In that case I recommend using a USB-C cable to transfer to your computer using the free software that can be downloaded. The R100 comes with a 24.1-megapixel CMOS sensor, that can also shoot video in up to 4k 24fps. The camera many different styles to shoot with, along with plenty of effects built right into it. There is a built-in flash that works well with pictures, but I was disappointed that learn that it doesn’t work while shooting video. But the camera does have a place for a shoehorn adapter to place your own light on top of it. The R100 does take beautiful pictures. I took the camera up to the mountains and shot some great scenery pics, and they turned out amazing. I then took some portrait shots, and the way the camera blurs the background is much better than my phone ever did. Next, I tried taking pictures in low light and this is where the camera falls behind…Even with the built-in flash, the pictures didn’t seem to capture the area very well. The shadows were overpowering the shot, making the subject look dull. I tried the HDR shot where it takes multiple images in a row, then analyses the picture. This took a lot longer than I thought, and the results weren’t that much better than a standard picture. The only thing that it seemed to do, was just brighten up the whole picture. The next thing I tried was the video. As my daughter started to crawl for the very first time luckily, I had this camera in my hand and was able to capture the moment. The video turned out good. The camera even picked up the audio very well with the built-in mic. The one thing I think could be better is, the camera shake, or lack thereof. I noticed that my footage was a little shaky and that is due to the poor image stabilizer. One thing that really impressed me about the R100, is the viewfinder. Aside from the LCD screen on the back of the camera, you also have the option to use the viewfinder. The viewfinder has a beautiful OLED screen that looks very sharp and crystal clear. There is also a sensor that can detect when you put it up to your eye, this automatically turns off the screen and switches to the viewfinder instantaneously. Overall, I think the Canon R100 is a fantastic camera. It takes beautiful pictures that are both crystal clear and colorful. This is great option if you’re looking to step up to a DSLR camera.

A very basic entry-level type camera. The camera is very lightweight and easy to hold. You will need to purchase a memory card as one is not included (I purchased SanDisk - Extreme PLUS 128GB SDXC UHS-I Memory Card). A camera case is needed too. On fully automatic, this Canon takes great pictures. Experimenting with the different settings is fun too. Press the shutter button halfway to focus and then snap your picture. Video recording was good but a little more difficult. I thought I had turned off recording several times but it was still taping. More zoom during video taping would also have been beneficial when people are moving. And there isn’t video stabilization. I did test outdoors on a few days. Our weather was so cloudy and dark that I am not attaching those photos – they were so bland that they really don’t show the true capability of this camera. The 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM Lens is very basic and slow. Sometimes my images blurred because it took so long to snap the photo. For outdoor shots you will want a better lens with more zoom. It is very easy to change lenses. The flash is okay. You have to manually open the flash in order to use it. An LED touchscreen would have been very useful. It is hard to see the small letters of the controls in low light so I ended up making some errors. Or with too much glare on the screen. You will need to remove the battery to charge it. Canon’s Camera Connect app allows you to transfer photos but it took a while to connect. It was easier to use the SD card directly. The hardest part of writing this review was deciding if I like this camera. One of my other cameras is a Canon PowerShot SX540 HS and I really love that one. The Canon EOS R100 is good but not my favorite. Mostly because it lags in shutter speed.

The camera is just the right size to fit in a backpack and it's lightweight and easy to hold. Many of the camera's functions are accessible from one setting on the dial at the top of the camera and may be confusing for new users. It does not have a touch screen, so all the camera's functions are accessed through menus which offer many options.

I have taken this camera camping, to a gender reveal party and to the 2025 championship Nascar race and I got some awesome pictures. The sport scene made was perfect as the cars were flying by I got some great shots of my Favorite drivers like Blaney, Larson and Chastain. They settings take a minute to figure out but the fact I can connect my phone via bluetooth and instantly download photos is one of the biggest reasons I like this camera. No waiting to download onto a laptop.

This is my first mirrorless camera in several years; as such, I was curious to see how much digital cameras have advanced, even with an entry-level model like this one. The first thing I noticed off the bat was that this model does not have an articulating LCD touchscreen. This surprised me, as I assumed this would be standard on most DSLRs. However, the screen itself is large and clear as also with the view finder. The camera also had a responsive autofocus mode, and the 4K resolution was impressive. For this level of camera, I also noticed good image tracking. Unfortunately, the 6.5 frames per second shooting seemed sluggish and selective tracking was difficult. Once I tried out the app, I found that it made up for the lack of articulating touchscreen. There were many features in the app that made this camera seem like a good starter option for podcasting. Video stabilization, however, was a little choppy. I was also disappointed that the USB-C port could not be used for charging the battery. Overall, I would recommend this model as a decent starter camera for a podcaster or family, but I feel that other users might benefit from spending a little extra money for upgraded features. Pros Quick autofocus 4K looks great Great starter camera to grow Good image tracking for price Screen is large, bright, and clear App makes up for no touchscreen and articulating screen Cons No articulating screen No touch screen on back 6 1/2 frames per second USB C port cannot be used for battery charging Disappointing video stabilization

Really good camera for beginners, I am having so much fun learning how to work this one. I am a beginner and i totally recommend this one for newbies, really easy to learn and fun to use, very small to carry everywhere and really good quality. Battery life is good too.

As a beginner photographer, I couldn’t have asked for a better camera than the Canon EOS R100. It’s user-friendly, compact, and offers professional-quality results, making it the perfect entry point into photography and videography. The image quality is incredible. The 24.1MP sensor captures sharp, vibrant photos with excellent detail. Whether I’m shooting landscapes, portraits, or everyday moments, the results look like they came from a seasoned professional. The 4K video capability is a huge plus. I’ve been experimenting with creating videos, and the quality is stunning. The autofocus is quick and accurate, even when my subjects are moving, which makes it ideal for capturing dynamic scenes. What I love most is how intuitive the controls are. As someone new to photography, I appreciate the built-in guides and simplicity of the menus. It’s easy to get started while still having room to grow and experiment with manual settings. The lightweight design is another highlight. I can carry it everywhere without feeling weighed down, and the ergonomics make it comfortable to use for extended periods. Overall, the Canon EOS R100 is a fantastic camera for beginners. It provides a perfect balance between ease of use and high-quality results. I’m thrilled with my purchase and excited to keep learning and creating!

Easy to use and nice results. Canon support will assist with any questions especially with product registration and setting up apps to back up photos.

I’ve been using the Canon EOS R100 for a few weeks, and I’m really impressed! It’s light, easy to handle, and perfect for beginners or anyone moving up from a phone camera. The image quality is sharp and vibrant, and the autofocus works fast—even with kids or pets moving around. Video quality is also great for everyday moments or social media content. I just wish the screen were flip or touch-enabled, but overall, it’s an amazing camera for the price.

Is my first time to buy a camera. I so happy is easy to use, the photos are so clearly, and the videos great too. I am so satisfied with my camara. Also thank you to Brayan the worker at Best Buy for give an explanation how to use my camera .

The Canon EOS R100 is a compact and lightweight mirrorless camera that offers a simple yet effective way to capture high-quality photos and videos. It is designed for beginners and smartphone users who want to move to a more advanced camera system without breaking the bank, though spending a little bit more for something that handles video better and can grow with you as your camera skill improves may be a better choice for some. The Canon EOS R100 is a great choice for those looking nothing more than a simple, affordable, and compact camera that can deliver excellent image quality and decent video quality. The camera is easy to use and has a reliable autofocus system that can track the eyes of your subjects. The camera also has a built-in flash and an electronic viewfinder that can enhance your shooting experience. However, the camera has limitations, such as the lack of a touchscreen, the crop factor and the loss of Dual Pixel AF in 4K video mode, and the limited ISO sensitivity range. If you are looking for a camera that has more advanced features and performance, you may want to consider other options in the Canon EOS R series.

Excellent camera! I am a beginner in photography, and find this camera very easy to learn and use! The quality is phenomenal, and the pictures come out amazing. I also love that it allows you to download the photos directly to your phone via WiFi using the cannon app.

Awesome camera. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my mom since she is going to Europe this spring. She always complains about not having storage on her phone to take pictures , so I got her the camera! She loves it. She is the type of person who doesn’t have a set hobby; however, this camera changed that. She is now learning photography and even how to edit photos! I was between this one and the T7, but she liked how light this one was and the fact it was newer. Overall she is very happy with it, and that makes me happy considering she’s done so much for me. Love you mami <3
