EOS R100

R100 owner finds the body light and small, but with a lens it's not really compact and won't fit a jacket pocket.

“Without a lens it is really light and takes up little space, but with a lens you can hardly call it compact.”

Uses the R100 with manual lenses; would like a touchscreen and extra dial but it gets the job done.

“I use an r100 with primarily manual lenses”

R100 owner argues it is great for the price, with 24MP, 4K24p and wireless features, and one of the best deals on the used market for photographers on a tight budget.

“For its price point, the r100 is great. You get 24mp, 4k24p, live view, bluetooth and wifi, and more.”

Received the R100 as a birthday gift, loves it and has already bought attachments and a new lens for it.

“I got the r100 as a gift from my little brother for my birthday, and I love it.”

Just bought the R100 and is about to return it; would choose their old T1i over it and calls it the first Canon kit that has disappointed them.

“On paper, the R100 looks great but in practice, I really don’t like this thing.”

First-time camera owner enjoys the R100, knew its limitations going in and chose it because it fit the budget.

“I enjoy mine as it's the first camera I've owned. I was aware of the limitations but price wise, it fit our budget.”

Former R100 owner calls it an awesome camera that taught them the basics; eventually sold it only because they wanted an articulating screen.

“when I had it I learned the basics of the cameras and how to really put that baby to work”

Bought the R100 with its kit lens for about $350 and loves it.

“I got the R100 with the kit lens for like $350 at best buy, and I love it.”

Got an R100 with the RF 18-45 kit lens and an EF-RF adapter; knows it isn't high-end but says the price-to-value ratio is perfect for hobby photography.

“for hobby photography the price/value ratio is perfect.”

Started on the R100 and got shots they are proud of, but the fixed non-touch screen, mediocre autofocus, no USB charging and limited shooting modes pushed them to upgrade to an R50.

“some the biggest issues I had with it was the lack of the vari-angle touch screen”

Bought a refurbished R100 for $239 and likes it overall, but finds it too small for their hand and says autofocus really struggles, especially with birds since there's no animal detection.

“I'm liking the R100 overall. I upgraded from a Rebel T5 so the similar body layout appealed to me.”

Says the R100 is a very good inexpensive entry-level camera and a brilliant travel camera with a pancake; image quality punches above its price, though it is basic and the R50 price gap is the issue.

“The IQ is seriously good, it punches way above its price point.”

Likes the R100 and got it with two lenses for about $400, but finds it limited, for example it can't customise the RF 100-400's control ring, and sometimes misses an adjustable screen.

“I really like my R100, but it is definitely limited feature-wise.”

Bought the R100 for $199 and is very happy with it, using an 18-135 and RF 28 2.8.

“As someone who bought the Ripper R100 for $199+tax, I'm very happy with it.”

New R100 owner has enjoyed shooting lots of photos and video, even in freezing conditions, and doesn't miss a flip screen.

“I’ve enjoyed taking many pictures and videos with this thing! It’s not a problem for me having no flip screen.”

Beginner has had the R100 for two months and doesn't regret it, finding it good enough as an entry-level camera, especially with prime lenses.

“I bought it like 2 months ago, and didn't regret it as an entry level as a beginner is good enough.”

Bought the R100 as an inconspicuous travel camera that shares lenses with their R7.

“I bought a canon r100 for exactly this purpose. It doesn't stand out and is easy to conceal.”

Pairs the R100 with their R6 Mark II as a small B camera.

“I got the r100 ( same size as the r50 just less practical).”

Birds with the R100 and RF 100-400 but finds it struggles to focus on small birds, with short bursts and no eye tracking.

“I’ve found the R100 struggles to auto-focus small birds on branches and will hop around.”

Bought the R100 on a tight budget and found it had many limitations, a generation behind in AF, burst and 4K.

“R100 had many limitations. I got it because of low budget.”

A complete beginner with the R100 and kit lens as a first camera who is loving it so far.

“Still figuring everything out but loving it so far.”

Loves their R100; in some situations its shots compare with their R5.

“I have a R100 - I love it and in some situations my shots can be compared to my R5”

Owns an R100 with a 55-210 and finds the reach short and misses subject tracking.

“I have r100 and 55-210mm and it is NOT long enough. Plus I could use subject tracking”

Owns an R100 bought for under $300 and finds it awesome, though Canon's budget lens lineup underwhelms them.

“I own an R100. For a camera that could be had on Canon's own website for under $300, it is awesome.”

Bought the R100 with the RF-S 18-150 as their first camera for travel, animals and planespotting, and loves the zoom and sharpness.

“I finally went ahead and bought my first Canon, and what a beast she is!”

Loves their R100 for bird photography with an adapted lens, but wishes the screen pivoted.

“I mean I love my r100. I just wish it had a screen that could pivot.”

Keeps an R100 in their truck as a grab camera for subjects spotted on the road.

“I keep an R100 as a “truck camera”. It stays in my truck.”

Started on the R100, bought used for $275, and is now running into limits with lens choice and autofocus performance.

“am starting to run into limitations on what I want to do and the camera (mostly available lenses and autofocus performance).”

Their R100 worked flawlessly for about two years, then got stuck in MF and stopped focusing or taking pictures.

“I bought an eos r100 around 2 years ago. It worked flawlessly up until about 4 months ago it randomly hit a wall”

Loves the R100, their first camera, which felt like a spaceship next to older Rebels.

“My R100 was the first camera I bought for myself, and I love the thing. Its got fantastic quality compared to some of the older rebel models I dabbled with”

Shoots the R100 as their main digital camera and loves its lightness, precision and small size, mostly with EF and EF-S primes.

“I shoot an R100 as my primary digital vision.”

Upgraded from a bridge camera to the R100 last year and upgraded lenses instead of the body; good and bad photos, with some limitations.

“I have the R100 which I upgraded from a bridge camera last year. I’ve taken some great photos and some shit photos.”

Owns an R10 and R100; the R100 needs an extra button press for focus points and exposure and has slower AF, but they still enjoy it with manual lenses.

“It's not bad, but you do have to hit an extra button to switch focus points between faces or go from shutter speed / aperture on your dial.  Slower focus system as well.”

Upgraded from the R100 to the R7 after frequent autofocus problems, including missing a lifer owl.

“after running into autofocus issues more often than I'd like. What really pushed me toward the upgrade was an encounter with a Chilean Short-eared Owl (***Asio flammeus***), which was also”
