Amazing beginner camera, this is the camera I started photography on and I have no complaints. If you’re looking for a compact, lightweight camera that provides professional quality pictures this is for you! If you’re looking for a more “professional looking” camera you may want to look at others. Super easy to use and learn how to work all the features. The kit lens is not the best but it’s definitely not the worst.

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!

As someone getting deeper into photography, the Canon EOS R100 was the perfect place to start – and honestly, it blew past my expectations. The image quality is outstanding, with vibrant colors and great detail, even in lower light conditions. Pair it with a decent RF lens and you’re getting pro-level shots on a budget.
The autofocus is fast and reliable, especially for portraits and moving subjects. It’s lightweight, intuitive to use, and connects easily to my phone for quick sharing – a big plus for someone always on the go.
Canon really packed a punch in a compact, affordable mirrorless body. If you’re thinking of stepping up from your phone or an older DSLR, this is the one to grab.
Also, if this review makes the cut for that $400 BestBuy gift card… well, I guess Canon isn’t the only one with perfect focus today.
Thanks, BestBuy!

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.

Awesome camera! highly recommend to someone you who wants to start in photography. To anyone who wants a high-powered budget camera with a lot of artistic options. This would probably not be suitable as a main camera for a videographer or a professional, but it would work for photo journalism.
