Canon EOS R100 mit Objektiv RF-S 18-45mm 4.5-6.3 IS STM und RF-S 55-210mm 5.0-7.1 IS STM

The compact Canon EOS R100 does a fine job at its most important tasks: taking good quality photos and having a long-lasting battery. However, a lot of corners were cut to reach its bargain price, so it's not a great choice for videographers, action photographers, or anyone who prefers a touchscreen. Unless money is tight, we recommend spending a little more for a more capable camera.

Enormous fun to use and one to look at closely for the beginning photographer.

The EOS R100 becomes the most affordable body in the EOS R system to date, delivering good-looking 24 Megapixel photos and 1080 video from a compact body that’s easy to use and provides access to the company’s latest RF lenses. As the entry-level model, there’s inevitably some limitations, including a fixed non-touch screen, no built-in stabilization, slow bursts and compromised 4k video. But in these regards it’s no different to the previous entry-level DSLR, the 2000D or Rebel T7, and sports better autofocus than that model, albeit at a higher price. The various limitations are also resolved by stepping-up to other models in the series, and for me the R50 hits a sweetspot, with a lot more features than the R100, while remaining smaller and a little cheaper than the R10. If you don’t need the RF mount, look for bargains on an M50 Mark II, and if your budget is tighter, it’s still hard to beat an entry-level DSLR like the 2000D / T7 or the more capable 250D / SL3. Ultimately, as the most basic model in the series to date, the R100 is unlikely to get any enthusiasts excited, but it still does what it sets out to do, providing a lower point of entry to the EOS R system, and a step-up in quality, control and handling over a smartphone.
