    Product Description

    Experience the fun of RF mount content creation with the smallest and lightest EOS R series camera¹, the Canon EOS R100. Excellent still-image capabilities start with its 24.1 Megapixel APS-C size CMOS Image sensor and DIGIC 8 processor, along with Dual Pixel CMOS AF with the ability to detect human faces and focus on their eyes. The EOS R100 also can record Full HD video at up to 60 frames per second, and detailed, high-res 4K from the central area of the sensor at 24 frames per second.

  2. Canon - PowerShot V10 4K Video 20.9-Megapixel Digital Camera for Vloggers and Content Creators - Black - Front_Zoom
    Top comment

    "Great camera; needs tweaks for true excellence!...Another idea more than a cheap out is that it would have been nice if, for a relatively entry-level vlogging camera like this, Canon would have included a micro-SD card to get started with, even an inexpensive small 64GB V30 U2 MicroSD card, just so users could get started with it right out of the box! ...Also if there could be more filters for the cameras, not just the basic ones."

    "Perfect camera...Pretty sick camera! Takes my filming to a whole different level. ...Best Entry Level 360 Cam...Great entry level 360 cam. Has fantastic stabilization and video stitching. "

    Product Description

    Insta360 has made some of the most fun and interesting cameras of the past few years and the new Insta360 X3 is no different. The X3 is a 360-degree camera with two super-wide lenses that capture everything around you, allowing you to 'reframe' the footage into a standard movie later. But a host of upgrades mean it's also now much more usable as a traditional action camera in 'single-lens' mode. But on the X3 you can now shoot in 4K resolution in this 'single-lens' mode, making it more like having two cameras in one.
