Perfect camera for lovers of great photography. It is semi- professional and easy to use. Great value!

If you are beginner photographer this camera will help you to discovery a new way. I'm super fan of this camera

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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