Canon EOS R100 Review: I like it!

[@bentravis99]

Great review, and thanks for pointing out it's weaknesses as well as its strengths.

[@GaryJahman]

Thanks! 🙏

[@steverossi6525]

This camera has done me proud shooting high profile bands. Yes it has it’s limitations. But you can get some excellent results if you know how to get the best out of it.

[@GaryJahman]

@@steverossi6525 that’s great to read! 🙏

[@lawrence-k7v]

Thank you for this review, I have just purchased this camera and finding my way around it. I just want sharp pictures, I don't need all the bells and whistles and I do not have a lot of money, so this camera seems to be ok.

[@GaryJahman]

Yes this will be right for your needs 😊

[@anastasisgeorgiou2166]

Thinking of buying one my self. How are tou finding it 4 months on? Is it worth it?

[@adden2242]

I own this,Cam..and i only use it for Photos..its actually fast to focus and thats pretty good for me.

[@GaryJahman]

Yes that’s perfect use case!

[@unobear8008]

Please give a guide for lenses for beginners

[@GaryJahman]

Oh that would be a good idea! 👍

[@speedbirdsimulations2884]

I currently have a Lumix GH3 and I only do photos. I am currently looking for a new but cheap camera because my GH3 has bad autofocus where it is horrible for portraits since it always missed the person (it release back in 2012 lol), low-light is horrible at iso 1000 already a lot of noise, but it has a fully articulatung touchscreen tho. Would getting the r100 be an upgrade or should I just save for a better one? Thanks!

[@GaryJahman]

@@speedbirdsimulations2884 it will be a more pleasant experience for sure!

[@garrettagainpogo4902]

Still disappointed Canon is abandoning the ef-m system. I love my pair of m50 cameras. I grab them just as much as my 90D. I will use them until they stop working lol

[@GaryJahman]

Haha as long as you are having fun with it and are able to create beautiful images then keep going at it! 😃

[@tvthecat]

I knew that the EF-M was a dead end ecosystem so, I decided to wait for cheaper R series cams.l❤❤❤q

[@romulogms1999]

Olá amigo, as lentes usadas nas fotos foram as lentes do kit ?

[@GaryJahman]

Si amigo 💯

[@andrep4666]

I want to start photography, I'm looking for my first camera and I would like to photograph landscapes and the moon, which camera would you advise me to buy and start this journey, the R50 or the R10 or something else 😂? thanks

[@GaryJahman]

Basically the R50 and R10 are the same. So choose the one you simply like based on price and looks. The R10 can do 4K 60p but not sure if you want to do video. Both are capable but you do need good lenses for your needs

[@Lepewhi]

Not having touchscreen and a fixed screen would be a dealbreaker for me. Plus, the lens selection is rather limited, at the moment. I'd rather suggest getting a SL2 or3/250. Or get a M4/3. These can be found used at a good price. There are more bells/whistles, many have flip out/up, touch screens and larger lens selections. Just my thoughts.

[@GaryJahman]

That’s true! Thanks for sharing your thoughts 🙏

[@bobbyhancock3347]

SL2/3 Truly hidden gems!

[@rgurgel]

I saw jagged/jerky camera software stabilization effects?! Or is it just in my head.

[@GaryJahman]

no that is just me haha

[@trym2121]

You can get m50 for almost same price. Ef-m would be cheaper as people are migrating and I'm quite sure that rf crop lenses are pretty much ef-m lenses using rf mount

[@GaryJahman]

Yes, maybe even cheaper. There are some good EF-M lenses available. The ones from Sigma I highly recommend and for video it is much better as well. The thing is that if you want to upgrade to a full frame camera that you will need to get other lenses as well. With just one mount you can use all the lenses (even with a crop). So its a eco system thing.

[@techshow8]

Also you can get EF to EF-m lens mount and it is 1/3 price of EF to EF lens mount

[@GaryJahman]

@@techshow8 yes but not sure how the autofocus is performing

[@idiocy8884]

heard that EF-M lens are discontinued

[@mostlymessingabout]

don't buy EF-m. it's a dead end system.

[@stratiotai2]

As a first camera for shooting like family stuff and baby pictures, would you recommend this over, say just using a cellphone?

[@GaryJahman]

Yes and even with a nice lens you can get professional looking photos

[@nashgamalinda5383]

Hello! I’m a newbie, why is r100 not good for recording videos? I use my phone for pictures and I want to upgrade and buy a camera. I want to use the camera for photos and videos as well. What would you recommend, this r100 or r50?

[@GaryJahman]

@@nashgamalinda5383 well you can get decent footage with the right lens and lighting conditions, but with the lens it comes with just don’t expect too much. I would go with the R50 because it has the articulating screen

[@manuldoabedy1198]

What is the best settings for canon eos r100 for photography?

[@GaryJahman]

Depends on your own style honestly. But what I like is to set everything on Manual except iso. Hope this guides you somewhat

[@manuldoabedy1198]

@@GaryJahman thx

[@protoman1214]

I have this uncontrollable urge to buy this camera and put the 50mm 1.2 on it. You can also use the phone app and use that as a remote viewer if you really need it.

[@GaryJahman]

Haha that would be a fun idea 💡

[@insaiyan8320]

Looking at a solid beginner camera. Canon r100 or canon rebel t7?

[@GaryJahman]

@@insaiyan8320 r100

[@jerozap5328]

between the rebel t7 (eos 2000d) and the Eos R100 which one should i buy? mainly for photography (landscapes, street photography, portraits and products photography) and some videos such as birthdays

[@GaryJahman]

R100 for sure 👍

[@goolch]

Hey I’m debating between this or the lumix g95 as a gift for my son’s bday. It will be his first camera. Which would you recommend or do you have any other options?

[@GaryJahman]

Good question! Depends on his needs. So what does he likes to photograph?

[@ahmedhaidar8483]

How would you compare this to the similar price rebel T7 ? Which is more worth it for photography?

[@GaryJahman]

The newer one 💯

[@SpeedJetsUK]

I think the cameras have become to expensive this R100 is at least in most props that are on a budget . R 50 In the uk is £900 . The R100 is £500 I think this camera with good glass would be great to get .

[@GaryJahman]

Yeah with a good lens you can make some awesome images for sure 💯

[@Obada580]

I'm not good at cameras but i bought the Canon EOS R100 + 18-45 IS STM for mainly streaming in KZbin and vlogging, will this camera fail me at that point?

[@GaryJahman]

It depends on your own needs and wishes 😃

[@JeffreyLiddell-e4i]

Hi Gary, Jeff here. I am a complete novice to photography. I am considering purchasing this camera for a cruise to Alaska. Would this camera be good for pictures of the mountains, glaciers, etc. from on board the ship? And, is there a way to transfer the pictures directly from the camera to my pc? Thanks for your time and advice.

[@GaryJahman]

Hi Jeff, thanks for reaching out 😊! Yes this camera in good lighting conditions will create some nice pictures. So no worries in that regard. The key is to have some good composition and lighting. If I was in your shoes I’d just shoot everything in auto mode and let the camera do the processing. You can plug in a USB cable (that comes with the camera) directly in to your computer. Then you can simply extract the files that way. You can also do it wireless to your phone if needed. Hope this helps and enjoy the cruise! 🚢

[@JeffreyLiddell-e4i]

@@GaryJahman Hey Gary, thanks for your very prompt reply. My cruise is at the end of August, so I thought I would buy the camera now and get familiar with it. Yes, I was already thinking auto mode would be the best option for me to get the best pics. I didn't see where a cable was included with the camera, so that's nice to know that it actually comes with one. One less thing to purchase. Thanks again. I greatly appreciate your assistance.

[@JeffreyLiddell-e4i]

Hi Gary. Just wanted to let you know that I ordered the camera based on your recommendation. As you very well know, some of the lenses for the camera are very, very expensive...more than the camera itself. If I was going to purchase just one additional lens for the camera outside of the standard 18-45 mm that the camera comes with, which should I consider? I mainly take pictures of my cats, an occasional selfie, and scenic pics when I'm on a cruise. Again, thanks for your time and advice.

[@GaryJahman]

@@JeffreyLiddell-e4i well first use the standard lens that comes with it. Take a bunch of photos and check afterwards if you zoomed in a lot or not. This way you can tell a little bit what kind of focal length you prefer and based on that you can decide what kind of lens you want 😊

[@JeffreyLiddell-e4i]

@@GaryJahman Will do. Thanks so much.

What kinda camera setup should i go with for my youtube goat videos? Great video btw.

[@GaryJahman]

Thanks but what setup you should use is up to you and how you want it to look. Try to visualise your end result and then check what you need

[@faitsvr]

How would you recommend it for sports photographers and videographers? I know you said its not focused toward videos but right now i have the rebel t6i and i hate it for videos but i really like the stabilization on this camera for it.

[@GaryJahman]

Sports: depending on what type of sports. I mean Golf is a sport and then this will be totally fine. But any fast movement stuff it is still possible but for sure you’ll miss some shots Video: I’m sure that there are individuals that can create beautiful stuff with this camera. So depending on how you want your videos to look this might be something for you as well.

[@faitsvr]

@@GaryJahman i usually do indoor basketball and football (usually at night), how do you think it would work for that?

[@GaryJahman]

@@faitsvr it will be very challenging but possible. I'd rent this camera to test it out for yourself

And also what xo you think about buying r10 or rp or other canon camera

[@aravindhkrishnan7852]

Canon r100 or still Panasonic Lumix G7? Can you please help?

I think I’d go with the Canon because of the APSC sensor which to me is bit more flexible than M43 sensor

10bit is better than 8bit especially if you want to edit the colours in post. I’d suggest you to rent or try in a store or something to find out which one you like 😃
