The Canon EOS R100 is a camera we've been waiting for since the R system first launched an affordable, entry-level model that's simple enough for families to capture treasured shots as easily as on their phone, yet advanced enough to grow with someone as their photography skills develop.
The Canon EOS R100 is simple enough for a first-timer to shoot great images in Auto, but it reveals its real strengths in semi-automatic and manual modes, where you can start getting creative in ways that aren't - possible on a smartphone. The R100 replaces the best-selling Canon Rebel SL2/Canon EOS 200D as well as the Canon Rebel T7/Canon EOS 2000D, and is the most affordable entry point into the company's EOS R camera system with its impressive range of Canon RF lenses.
Key features
Staking its claim as one of the best cameras for beginners, the Canon EOS R100 eschews many advanced features in favour of streamlined simplicity. Aimed at newcomers to cameras, or those who primarily take photographs on a phone, the R100 boasts a guided user interface with friendly and helpful menus to make it easy to get the camera do what you want it to.
If you're unfamiliar with camera settings, you needn't worry. The menus offer descriptions of the various modes, as well as on-screen examples of what you can expect making it a breeze to get shooting right away. Features such as Creative Assist allow you to make adjustments to contrast, background blur and brightness without needing to know about settings. When you’re ready to delve into semi-automatic or manual mode, the exposure dial puts control at your fingertips. But don’t view the streamlined features and single dial as signs of an underpowered camera – the R100 is highly capable.
