Customer Ratings & Reviews

3 months ago as of writing this review, I wanted to start honing in on doing photography. I had a small budget and didn't want to overexpense myself. In the end, I decided to try out this camera and the 18-45mm lens that came with the bundle. All this time later, it has become a very valuable camera for what I do and I will continue to use it for a long time. Below I will give my two cents on reasons why and why not to purchase it. Warning, lots of reading! Lightweight: Since the R100 is a Mirrorless camera, it is a much lighter weight than most DSLRs. Why is this good? You still capture great quality photos and have a lighter bag with you! Yes, some will argue that mirrorless will take less quality shots than DSLR but in reality, since the mirrorless has no internal moving mechanisms, such as a mirror, not only will your shots be quieter, but there is no chance of camera shake by the device itself, only your hands. ;) Still, there are reasons for DSLRs, such as battery life. In the end, if you like to be on the move with your camera, I recommend this type. Crop-Sensor: The R100 is an APS-C style camera, which means that the image will be zoomed in because of the camera's sensor. Isn't that bad? Well, not exactly. For closer subjects, maybe, unless you physically move away. However, for farther away subjects, like animals, you will fall in love with the 1.6x crop factor. Lenses on this camera will effectively be zoomed drastically the longer the focal length. This means your 18-45mm lens is the equivalent of a 24-80mm on a full-frame camera, which is the standard measurement for camera sensors. The 55-210mm turns into an 88-336mm equivalent. And that 100-400? 160 to a drastic 640mm! That's enough to take photos of the moon! Unfortunately, I have not used any of the video features or flash on this camera. I don't have any interest in using them myself. I cannot comment on what I don't know about. :( The specs on this camera are very useful for the average photographer, especially beginners. The menus and buttons are fairly easy to navigate, and only get more and more simple as you use them more. The autofocus modes are accurate for what I want them to do. Would be nice to have less than 100 ISO in some cases, but remember, this is, essentially, an entry-level camera! So, in the end, it all depends on what you want to photograph, my words will hopefully help you decide on this camera. I will include a few images that I have captured on this camera with the 18-45mm lens. (Alert! I like monochrome, but I will include a colored image.) Thank you for reading and hopefully, you start clicking soon!

This was the best decision I could have made when buying a camera. Out of all the cameras I have Canon is the best. When I edit my pictures of lightroom you can really see how great and clear the quality is. I would recommend this camera if you're a beginner, for fun, or even professional! You will seriously not regret it!!! I added photos (that I've edited) so you can see the great quality.

This is my first digital camera and I would completely recommend it. Its super easy to use and the quality is amazing. I took a photography course some years ago and going from a phone to this camera is amazing. If you are a beginner I would recommend this to start with, and you and attach any lenses to it so once you start getting better at it you can just get a new lens!

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!

I brought this camera for my girlfriend and she loves it!! It takes amazing pictures for the price!! I highly recommend it for a first camera!!

This camera was the best thing I ever purchased. It’s amazing as the quality is. Raw pics & videos is amazing doesn’t even need to be edited in my opinion. Imma beginner in photography and this does wonders. People already started to compliment my work in that sense I am now a photographer building up my status & social. This is the camera everyone should have beginner or not. Plus very affordable.

Exactly what I was looking for a good camera at a great price is everything I needed photo below was taken with camera

My boyfriend purchased this amazing camera for me as a gift and I absolutely love it! I’m beginner photographer and it fits perfectly. The photos come out clear while also having easy ways to navigate plus editing abilities.

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

I really like this camera. It’s easy for someone who knows the basics of a camera for manual. It also is effective for auto for families. It’s been super easy to learn. The review photo is a photo I got with the camera

Its exactly what i needed. Very versatile. Ive been able to get images in most setting. I enjoy getting back into photography. You dont have to make.money from it to enjoy it.

I absolutely love this camera! Takes sharp, clear photos! And it’s affordable! 10/10 recommend!

It’s crazy what you get for the price of the camera! Best price/quality camera!

Love how the lens work and the quality was also surprising to me:) it's also isn't that heavy so I can bring it along with me when going out.

I love my Canon! The video and audio work great, and it's easy to use!

Excellent for a beginner! Gave as a Christmas gift to my 17 year old daughter and she loves it!

Does the basics you would expect from a camera. Picture quality is great but would suggest buying different lenses. A lot of little things and details need to be taken into account. Beginner friendly? Yes. Great entry level camera? No.

This is a great camera that I love for me as a beginner. I bought it to get pictures of my daughter who plays softball and it works great. It’s easy to use and the quality is amazing.

I was looking for a nice camera to give my wife. She had taken up photography when I decided to knock out 2 birds with 1 stone because I also was looking for a new digital video camera so I could use it on my podcast. Seems to handle the 2 jobs pretty well.

Honestly, one of the best cameras I’ve use so compact works well with my road caster picks up all the sound so perfectly which is why I’m buying another one
