Canon – EOS R100 4K Video Mirrorless Camera (Body Only) – Black

i wanted to suprise my wife with a mirroless camera from her rebel T7i. she loves it and the pictures that it takes. i can’t talk for the price as i just looked at the features included with the camera.

I bought this mirrorless Canon to replace my old EOS Rebel xti. This is a decent camera. You get what you pay for. The quality of pictures is ok, not the best but this is a cheap Canon camera. Overall it is ok.

At the sale price the Canon R100 can’t be beat. Sure it’s stripped down compared to cameras costing significantly more, but there’s a whole lot to like about the camera, starting with competent mirrorless imaging. And here’s the main advantage for me, after purchasing Canon’s EF-RF adapter the R100 takes photos with a vast number of older Canon EF mount lenses. Cool!
For example, the first photo was snapped with a 15 year old excellent Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 lens, which can be purchased in the used market for a little over $100. The second photo shows a clear advantage of the R100 compared to a cellphone, that advantage being true background out of focus highlights (bokeh). And isn’t it great to have a viewfinder when out in daylight instead of trying to squint at the screen of a cellphone to snap a photo?
The focusing of the R100 beats out the focusing of Canon’s DSLR 90D and the cheaper Canon DLSRs. The only downfall would be action shots. The R100 is capable of action shots, but here’s where the dirt cheap price brings a disadvantage compared to more expensive entry level mirrorless cameras such as the Sony a6100.
The image quality overall competes well with other brand entry level cameras (and with the right lens and composition can compete with cameras costing thousands of dollars more). Out of camera jpegs usually turn out pleasing and decently exposed. RAW imaging lets this cheap Canon shine.
The R100 doesn’t overwhelm the user with a barrage of buttons and choices, which is a good thing for the casual photographer. At the same time, the advanced user will be able to bring out quite good photos.
At the price, the R100 is an easy choice for the first time mirrorless camera buyer.
However, the biggest question might be, should a person buy the R100 with kit lens or stick with a competent Apple or Samsung phone for photos? Probably for the majority of people the phone makes for a better choice. With that in mind, if you think you might have an interest in photography, a latent photographer of artistic capabilities within you, then the Canon R100 is a good place to start. And here’s a recommendation, purchase the Canon Mount Adapter EF-EOS to R along with the R100 (yes, probably best to purchase the kit R100 with the 18-45mm lens) and then go shopping for magnificent used lenses of the Canon EF world from such online shops as MPB.com or KEH.com. You’ll end up snapping photos a phone could only dream about, and who knows, maybe, the budding photographer in you will grow into an artist of the highest merit!

Love my camera. Light weight . Pictures are perfect
