Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've been an amateur photographer for 15+ years and it's really great how much entry level cameras have improved over the years. Canon has fully fleshed out their RF mirrorless line and this camera makes a great beginner camera or secondary body/travel camera. These R series cameras use the new RF mount and new mirrorless technology as opposed to the legacy SLR cameras of the past which were slower and more primitive, especially at the entry level price point. Do yourself a favor and skip over the Rebel SLR and T series SLR's and get an R100 or R50 to get the new mirrorless tech and more future oriented system and much more user friendly photo taking experience. The photo quality out of this R100 is virtually identical to more expensive cameras. It also has many of the same advanced autofocus functions of the more expensive cameras, but the speed and controls are slimmed down for the lower price. Out of the box the menu system of the R100 is designed for beginners with friendly tutorials on various functions. You can also configure it to a more traditional canon style menu system if you'd like to skip the tutorials. The biggest leap forward of the R100 vs the entry level SLR's such as the T7 is the vastly improved autofocus for live-view and video. With this camera you are getting eye detection and object tracking as well as smooth focusing in video. The included 18-45 kit lens is also nice for the size and price. It collapses in for smaller travel as well. The OLED viewfinder is nice on this camera, similar to the (now discontinued) M50. To keep the price point down, the R100 forgoes a touch screen and a flip screen, higher speed continuous shooting as well as 4k video and more advanced physical controls on more advanced cameras. It also cannot be charged via USB-C which is unfortunate. You have to use the external battery charger. The more expensive cameras therefore may be worth considering if you're into 4k video, action shooting and want more physical controls. But for a beginner looking to learn photography the R100 is a great starting point and if you buy full frame RF lenses they would be compatible with any upgrade you might move to should you become more invested in the hobby or profession later. If you want to use EF lenses on this, just get the canon EF-RF lens adapter.

This little mirrorless Canon is near perfect for a beginning hobby photographer, or someone who wants a real camera vs their phone. Being a beginner myself, I would say that the amount of customization options and tweakable settings without guidance can be daunting, but with a bit of practice+youtube videos, you can figure out what does what, and how easy/.useful the auto mode is for most photos. I have taken some pretty great shots just with the auto, but the fact that you can tweak something like the ISO to 12800 is pretty wild. Video is limited to 4K 24fps, but you can run up to 24mp photos, and with RAW you can obviously really tweak them to your hearts content. The included 18-45mm lens is probably fine for 70+% of home photos you'll take, but anything even semi-professional will want some nicer glass, which brings me to my next point... Where you can really run wild is the available and compatible lenses! Most aren't going to buy an entry/lower end camera and drop thousands on lenses, but you totally can! (one accessory I really recommend getting is a higher end v30 or faster SD card, I tested with a 64gb microSD with an adapter and it seemed to display pictures and scroll through much slower than the higher end 128GB v60 card I grabbed)

Amazing camera! I am beginning to learn how take photos and this camera is great for beginners.

It's been a while since I've used a camera that was more than a "point and shoot", and back then it was a film-style 35mm camera. This is my first dip of the toe into the waters of a full-fledged digital camera, and to be honest I was a little intimidated as I opened the packaging. All my testing was done on Auto settings until I get more comfortable with the more granular settings, but that's a good thing as from what I understand, this camera is geared more towards beginners and those just learning to use a digital camera. I took a number of photos around the house and at work, again, all on Auto settings. They turned out GREAT! I did notice that I'll need to get a flash for indoor/dark shots, but for outdoor daylight shots the details were crisp, the colors were vibrant, and battery life was respectable. On the battery topic- there is no internal charging of the battery - you need to remove it and put it in the included charger. That's the only thing I found that I wished it had, as carrying a couple of batteries with me as well as the charger can get a little annoying. Outside of the battery charging, I feel that students and beginners would do well with this camera and not left feeling that they are missing out on anything ! A very nice camera!

Seems like a great camera. I have yet to actually use it, but did play with the settings. I like it so far.

EXCELLENT CAMERA. PICTURE QUALITY EXCELLENT. PHOTO RESOLUTION EXCELLENT

Great service and explanation of the camera. Was able to choose the right camera for my needs.

The learning curve of this camera is simple enough. Works great as a webcam, but i wish it had more than 30 minutes before it goes into sleep mode.

Its nice to start and get to know about cameras but if you are looking for something more professional go for the R50

Had the camera for a couple of days, and developed this spot on the internal sensor itself. I don’t know why this occurred, anyone know why?
