[@agirilovich]

The best camera control review, I've ever seen.

[@miklosmayerphoto]

Thank you!

[@austinno.1]

The detailed autofocus priority switching stuff around 15:50 seem super useful to me. I purchased this camera because I take a lot of photos of cars at racetracks and at meetups, often times with vehicles in motion and often times at great speeds. So to see a specific setting that will change subject tracking as they enter the AF zone I’m working with seems fantastic to help me catch groups of cars all packed together running the same corner at high speed. A problem I struggle greatly with my Rebel SL2(first camera I ever bought). The R10 with a significantly higher fps rating, much bigger buffer, much higher write speeds, and packed full of what seems to be high performance AF features only makes me more and more excited to get this delivery in to try out the R10.

[@Augnos]

So "Subject tracking" really only applies when AF Area is set to a point or zone, not Whole Area autofocus. The part where your AF continued to track the bird's eye at 13:15 was because Subject Tracking was turned on. Once you find your subject, it will continue to track and focus on your subject, even when the bird leaves the AF zone. If "Subject tracking" was off, it would stop focusing on the bird as soon as it left the area, and your camera wouldn't focus until a new bird would enter your AF zone. I use this all the time for sports photography to keep my focus on whoever was in my center zone, ignoring the people on the edges.

[@miklosmayerphoto]

Wow, thanks for clearing that up! Canon should copy your comment into the Menu system of their cameras, because they do a terrible job explaining! :)

[@DhoniKumar-ul3oz]

Most precise and detailed video I've seen on KZbin. Keep going❤

[@miklosmayerphoto]

Thanks! Comments like this keep me going :)

[@carguyuk7525]

Thanks for your review. I have just bought the r10 with the 18-45 and 55-210 kit lenses for my 15 year old daughter so she can learn photography. Great camera and photo quality are excellent.

[@martinkarlsson5441]

This is the best review of the r10 I have seen online! Great work!

[@miklosmayerphoto]

Thank you so much for your kind words!

[@mohankrishnankutty1898]

Excellent Excellent demonstration. R10 is Super Super than other brands. We are supporting in all sence.. keep it up. Canon.

[@miklosmayerphoto]

Thank you!

[@ЮрийВенедиктович-т8ъ]

Ive got that camera. and I dont like its ergonomics (camera is very small but with 300g lens it became heavy and uncomfortable to keep it with one hand). poor lens choice is another dealbreaker. absolutely zero satisfaction from using that camera. too heavy for EDC, too small for comfotable work

[@andycollins5983]

Excellent video! I enjoyed your thorough and honest review of the R10. Keep up the great work!

[@miklosmayerphoto]

Thank you so much! Feedbacks like this make me keep going!

[@rangersmith4652]

As an old Canon DLSR shooter, I really appreciate the joystick.

[@biplabdutta918]

Hi, Could you please help me to choose a camera between z50 and r10. My is occasionally and also taking photo in jungle safari.

[@miklosmayerphoto]

Hi, it's a close call, but because of the better eye-af for animals, I would go with the Canon R10

[@mainyordle]

Hi sorry for random question but in 7:52 you show how to put the battery. Can i ask about the serial number? im asking because i want to buy a R10 camera and has the serial like yours, in which page can i see if that type of serial is worth?

[@miklosmayerphoto]

I have no idea about the serial number, I already returned the camera.

Amazing video. Thank you man.😊

[@RobertSeetzen]

Very good, thorough and and informative review. You have put a whole lot of effort into this video - especially in comparison to many other KZbinrs. Thanks a lot!

[@miklosmayerphoto]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your feedback!

[@ciaraboyle30]

I have the very same camera but in time i will be able to get a better one over time.

[@chriskuroda5144]

Great detailed review of photo and video performance. The R10 would be a huge upgrade to my EF-M cameras. They also have a cheap plastic feel, but work well for me. I just wish I could use my EF-M lenses on the RF mount. The only adapter is for EF to RF lenses. All of my EF-M lenses are wider and faster, 15mm at F3.5, like the Nikon. This and the price of the fast RF lenses makes me delay upgrading to the R7 and R10. Considering switching to Nikon.

[@miklosmayerphoto]

Thank you! Well, I totally understand that - I also don't like the limited lens choice. But the speed and AF is really on a pro level.

[@amermeleitor]

As an overall system... Which do you like more, Nikon or Canon? Im still undecided. I still have the Z50 and a pair of Canon DSLRs (77D and XS). I'm thinking about go all in Canon R mount with EF adapted lenses or Nikon Z mount with native lenses + AFS F mount lenses + EF lenses via adapters.

[@miklosmayerphoto]

That's a dilemma there, and I can completely relate to it :) What I like in the Nikon Z System is that they opened up the lens mount and you can buy very good third-party prime lenses, like Sigma 16mm F/1.4. I also like how Nikon put out cheap but quality zooms like 28-75 and 70-180mm. However, I have no idea when Nikon will replace the Z50 - it's still a great camera, but already 4 years old.

[@ghalibsworld]

Canon needs more RFS prime for everyone's need as well as semi-professional tele-photo like Efs55-250. They need high end overall zoom RFS lens with constant aperture. But at first they need to change the R10 kit lens. It is blind in low light. I own a R10 with a kit lens.

[@miklosmayerphoto]

Agreed on that one!

[@ЮрийВенедиктович-т8ъ]

canon just dont care about it. I guess if I will buy rf lenses its will be hard to sell it for reasonable price in future

[@superreviewindonesia]

Is there any option to turn off the exposure simulation?

[@miklosmayerphoto]

Yes, of course, in the photography menu, Display Simulation. cam.start.canon/en/C006/manual/html/UG-05_Shooting-1_0410.html

[@speecher1959]

Thank you for the great information. For my "grab and go"/hiking kit, I'm getting ready to migrate from my M5 to the R10. However, I will miss my EF-M 32mm f/1.4 and 11-22 lenses. Rats!

[@miklosmayerphoto]

Agreed, for that purpose, the R10 is great!

[@speecher1959]

@@miklosmayerphoto Now I've talked myself into a refurbished R7, so my "small kit" is getting bigger and bigger. I'm hoping the 18-150mm lens will help with that. And at some point, Canon will have to release some 11-22mm lens. With those I'll be pack ready. Great videos, by the way! Thank you1

[@rochacotia]

Great video! I could notice how much effort you’ve put into this review! Props! I just bought the R10 to start in the photography world. Hope I came across do it well! Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷

[@miklosmayerphoto]

Thank you, these kind feedbacks really make my day! :) Greetings from Hungary!

[@PWingert1966]

The R10 would be a great camera as an upgrade to my SL1. But Canon's silencing the market for third-party lenses (To the point of bricking TP lenses with autofocus. Canon has finally started opening up on a very limited basis) has made me hold off and keep with my SL1 and the three or four third-party lenses I have. I am now waiting for the R10 Mk II sometime this century and will re-evaluate the new camera when it hits the market.

[@miklosmayerphoto]

Now they seemed to ease up and let Sigma have some RF lenses. But to be honest, I would spend a bit more and go for the full frame R8.

[@martinkarlsson1195]

Great review! Thanks! I still struggle getting tack sharp focus on the eyes when shooting portraits with my r10 and the rf 35 1.8. Do you have any advice?

[@miklosmayerphoto]

Hi, thank you! Maybe this video helps, where I show the most common reasons of not-sharp photos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmPSY42glqmEpcU If not, send me email, and I'm happy to have a look on your photos.

[@drivedvisuals]

I really enjoyed your video! I hardly watch long reviews like this, but I really liked it, so I stayed the whole time! Do you think the R10 is better then the Sony A6400?

[@miklosmayerphoto]

Thank you so much! The R10 is at least 3 years younger camera, and in my opinion, has much better ergonomics (better to hold in hand, better viewfinder and great touchscreen). The R10 has less choices of lenses though

[@thebustedbutton9809]

Thank you for this. I’ve been looking for a good r10 review and you hit the latest canon models released in comparison

[@miklosmayerphoto]

Great to hear!

[@peteru3357]

What memory card would you recommend for photo and video? Thank you!

[@miklosmayerphoto]

Anything that has at least U3 rating

[@usernamemykel]

I've heard/read that the articulating screen shows fuzzy images, and insufficiently lit. Since I'd intend to use the camera for macro photography, and I'd be using manual focus, I'd appreciate to see your thoughts before I purchase one, please. Many thanks!

[@miklosmayerphoto]

I didn't have any problem with it, I quite liked the screen. It's just techy people complaining about something.

[@usernamemykel]

@@miklosmayerphoto Well, I'm certainly not techy enough to find problems. I enjoy the hobby of OSINT (Open Source Investigations), which includes geololation investigations using Google Earth and other apps., where one can determine the location, and even the time of day from shadows, of a photograph, and the identity of folks in the image.. OSINT investigators are "armchair internet sleuths", usually unpaid regular folk, who were very instrumental, by using OSINT research methods, using "social media" and other "open sources" to discover the identities of the "Jan 6 insurrectionists", who stormed and damaged the U.S. Capitol, and turned over the found identities (hundreds of them) to the FBI for arrest and prosecution. I wish I were techy enough to go deeper into OSINT, but I'm very happy with the pleasure it affords me at present. So - look up "0SINT", "OSINT techniques", "OSINT resources", "Geolocation finding", and have a blast obtaining all sorts of info about people/places/historic events and more. Thanks for your response - and I decided to wait for R10 Mark II, which is expected to be available within the next 3 months - hopefully the wandering video focus will have been addressed, and I've read that it may have 32, instead of "only" 24, megapixels. What's another 3 months? After all, I'm only 79 (Imperial, not Metric) years old. ; )

[@usernamemykel]

@@miklosmayerphoto Many thanks! In three months, the R10 Mark II is expected to arrive - I might as well wait for it - hopefully it won't have drifting focus in video, though I've yet (within 79 years) to shoot any video other than GoPro video on my motorcycle helmet. Thanks again!

[@miklosmayerphoto]

@@usernamemykel I don't think a mark II will come of the R10. There's nothing they could add/improve. Also, it's just 2 years old.

[@usernamemykel]

@@miklosmayerphoto That''s the same answer which I received from Jared Polin. My R10 will be delivered within 3 hours. Many thanks!! They could improve the video focus shifting from what I've seen on YT. Not my problem - I haven't any desire (as yet) for video.

[@james0706g]

Hello Master: Please help and give me some advice, The camera I am currently using is Canon EOS R10, The kit lens used with it is (RF-S18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM) My main subject matter is toy photography. The secondary shooting content is street photography or portrait photos. Now I want to buy new lenses, after watching your video, Want to compare between Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM and RF85mm F2 Macro IS STM After making a choice, I would like to ask you to give me some advice on which lens is more suitable for me? Thank you.🙏

[@miklosmayerphoto]

Hey there, I would definitely buy a macro lens. I don't know how small the toys are, but they are very small, maybe even the 85 mm f/2 won't be enough, cause it can only have 1:2 magnification. However, it's a great lens and I highly recommend it for any kind of work.

[@james0706g]

@@miklosmayerphoto thanks for your reply🙏

[@avneetrawat4890]

Nikon z50 or canon r10 which is better for street photography and portrait??...

[@miklosmayerphoto]

Both

[@pjurgensen2827]

When I am using in-camera IS + optical IS, I get lots of stuttering or lagging. It's also happening, if I don't move the camera around. I am using the RF 35 and EF-S 10-18 mm with the Canon adapter.

[@miklosmayerphoto]

Yep, I also noticed that. But even when using native RF lenses, and also with the R7.

[@Leon-dt8uo]

Hi Miklos, great informative video as always thanks 👍 I'm choosing between the Z50 or R10; I prefer the R10s AF but prefer the Z50s lens choices; How does the Z50 AF compare to the R10, is it any good for moving subjects? I've heard bad things about it. Also what do you think of the affordable Canon RF primes, are they decent? Many thanks!

[@miklosmayerphoto]

Thank you! Yep, the Canon RF prime f/1.8 - f/2 lens lineup is really good, and also very affordable (plus every lens has optical IS, something that Nikon counterparts don't have)

[@Leon-dt8uo]

@@miklosmayerphoto Hiya, thanks for the reply, good to know. And what about the AF between the two? The R10 clearly has excellent AF, but does the Z50 for AF-C & subject/eye tracking, or is it fairly poor in this department in the real world? Many thanks!

[@rahull7866]

If i use tripod plate at r10 and want to change battry of canon r10 i have to remove tripod plate or there is space to open battry portion

[@miklosmayerphoto]

that depends on how big the plate is

[@jitenderkumarjshine3325]

GREAT information 👏👏👏. With 18mm to 150mm and 100mm to 400mm lens is good combination ? And its good for stock photography to get good side income ?

[@miklosmayerphoto]

Yes, definitely. For good stock photos: that's really up to your creativity :)

[@louisegodin8817]

Thank you for this nice review. I have been looking to buy a new camera for the past 3 years and was interested in the Nikon Z50 until I saw the Canon EOS R10. You've briefly mention the Nikon Z50 at the beginning of your video. Which one do you think is a better buy?

[@miklosmayerphoto]

Glad it was helpful! :) I love the Z50, but it's 3 years older than the Canon R10, this mostly shows in the speed and the AF performance. However, the Z50 has more options when it comes to lenses.

[@OnlyCitrus]

Might be worth something with the new 7 third party lenses that are announced now.

[@miklosmayerphoto]

Yes, finally it happened :)

[@martinkarlsson5441]

My pinky hurts when using this camera. Is there any way to add somthing for my pinky to rest on?

[@miklosmayerphoto]

Just google "Canon R10 L bracket", and most dedicated L bracket have an extended part where your pinky can rest.

[@Kekmit]

I paid only $800 for mine, adapter included + some vouchers for accessories (~$100), with no tax, because I live in Europe. Best money ever spent... there were no more deals like that one since then. Even the body itself is now around $1000 where I live.

[@miklosmayerphoto]

You made a great deal then!

[@steveschulz9346]

I skipped the kit lense and got an adapter and got three nice but cheap EF-S zoom lenses that were much better than the kit lense.

[@miklosmayerphoto]

That's a good move, if you don't mind the adapter. But I think the 18-150 mm RF lens is a pretty good one (and very small)

[@aviv32]

im a bit confused i hope you can explain to me. aps-c got a crop factor on canon cameras of 1.6 but i heard that when you get the canon r10 4k 60 fps. there is a crop factor . is when i use the 4k 24fps has zero crop factor, or the 4k 60fps has an additional crop factor to the basic 1.6?

[@miklosmayerphoto]

Hey there, the crop factor in 4k 60fps applies on top of the crop factor of the sensor. The 4k/60 uses only 64% of the horizontal area, so the overall crop factor will be: 1.6 (from the sensor) x 1.54 (from 4k60) = 2,5 So with the 18mm kit lens, the field of view will be equivalent of 45 mm lens on a full frame camera - if you use the R10 in 4k/60 fps mode.

[@Albertoabrian]

THANKS FOR THE REVIEW

[@miklosmayerphoto]

You're welcome

[@shyamsvlog7357]

I am confused Nikon z5 vs canon r10 which is best plc reply

[@miklosmayerphoto]

I love the Z50, but it's 3 years older than the Canon R10, this mostly shows in the speed and the AF performance. However, the Z50 has more options when it comes to lenses. The Z5 is full-frame, so that's a different world :)

[@rahull7866]

Hey if i use monopod and shoot video is it smooth or shaky

[@miklosmayerphoto]

That depends on how steady you hold the monopod

[@MusabTahaTarik]

WHICH IS GOOD CANON R10 VS NIKON D7500 VS SONY A6600 ???

[@daronz]

Thanks for the review! But one thing that NO-ONE cover in their reviews of canon r10/r50 is - rolling shutter. So, did you do any tests of it?

[@miklosmayerphoto]

You're very welcome! Unfortunately, I haven't made any rolling shutter tests.

[@daronz]

@@miklosmayerphoto any chances for this kinda tests? There is literally 0 videos that compares the dslrs within this price range. Everyone talks about rolling shutter of sony cameras, ignoring all the others...

[@TheTokyomatt]

The R50 I have to go into menu and select the electronic Extender which I have trouble dealing with. R10 seems better

[@miklosmayerphoto]

What do you mean by electronic Extender?

[@TheTokyomatt]

@@miklosmayerphoto On the R50 you can increase the zoon lens electronically 0x 2x and 4x. I was hoping that the R10 would have had that as well.

[@paulnador4790]

Egy dilemma előtt állok, lecserélném a DSLR szerelésemet az R10-re kizárólag a jobb autofókusz miatt. Másrészről a jelenlegi gépemhez 14 obit gyűjtöttem be az évek során, amiktől nem szívesen válnék meg. Mind a két rendszert megtartani nem túl praktikus szerintem. Mi a véleményed?

[@miklosmayerphoto]

Szia! Én csak ajánlani tudom a Canon R szériás MILC gépeit, egy EF-RF adapterrel a régi obijaidat pontosan ugyanúgy tudod majd használni.

[@PWingert1966]

Recently leaked specs suggest the R10 Mk II will have more R7 features. I am waiting to see how this turns out before upgrading my SL1!

[@doorkum]

This is more of a rumor than leaked spec.

[@miklosmayerphoto]

I don't think that would make much sense. The R10 inside is already almost like a R7.

[@xxglitchninjaxx]

Isnt that lens an RF-S lens, so you dont apply the crop factor? In which case, it does hit 24mm equivalent...

[@miklosmayerphoto]

You always have to apply the crop factor to the physical focal length (18 mm). The only reason for this is to be able to compare the field of view of different lenses. Hence this 18mm lens is like a 29 mm lens on a full frame camera, in terms of field of view.

[@ciaraboyle30]

Your absolutely right, the starter canon camera is a toy. It is a beginners camera.

[@bobanderson437]

OK lucky man. Yes, your girlfriend is a beauty. This was a well-done comprehensive review of the camera. I don't do any video work, but wondered if the kit lens introduces keystoning at its widest aperture in video mode?

[@delangelstudio]

Great video. Thanks

[@miklosmayerphoto]

Glad you liked it!

[@FeatureMoments]

If you ever want to be taken, seriously, you need to stop bashing Canon. People clicked on play because they were interested in learning about the Canon R10, not to constantly hear that you are married to Nikon cameras

[@miklosmayerphoto]

I guess you didn't make it until the Summary part. I'm trashing Canon in small things, and I'm mostly complementing on the big things (image quality, AF performance)

[@RogerZoul]

If you are an r10 owner, then you come here to learn how to get more from your r10, not to hear about the choices Canon, or whomever, made to bring you that camera at the price you want to pay. So, from that point of view, the person watching doesn’t need to hear you gush about the weaknesses of said camera. Just guide them on how to get the most from it. You really don’t need to talk about how cheap the camera feels or how it sounds like a toy. That would make me want to go elsewhere. Are you a reviewer or a guide? I definitely saw something that read “let me guide you….”. Guide me, don’t bash my camera because I really couldn’t afford the high end model. See? Hope this helps. People really need channels like yours because these cameras can do a lot, but you still get what you pay for. Camera makes have to make compromises. No point in dinging them about it, but there is a point, and an opportunity, to guide users in getting the most out of them.

[@MrWiseinheart]

I learned a whole bunch from him and he has good points so that way if canon is watching if they can fix those annoying quirks about the camera.

[@BrasilOO7]

Very good review. 👍 What is your impression of the Autofocus performance regarding faster moving subjects? How does the Z 50's performance compare to the R 10? Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@SylvainGDemers]

I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for your in-depth review of the Canon R10. Your insights have been incredibly valuable. I was particularly intrigued by the photo of the runner at f/2. Could you kindly share the lens you used for that specific shot? The sharpness and focus quality at f/2 caught my eye.

[@miklosmayerphoto]

Thank you so much for the feedback! The runner shot: I used an old Canon EF 50 mm F/1.4 lens, which I adapterd to the R10 by using the EF-RF adapter. So actually that's not a particularly good lens due to its old design (it's soft at F/1.4, useable at f/2, and sharp from F/2.8)

[@jondemetrius]

Actually the R10 sounds like a wooden blind shutter and the Nikon sounds like a plastic blind shutter (cheap).

[@miklosmayerphoto]

😁

[@ciaraboyle30]

Do you think that we should throw away our R10 cameras and to be able to buy something better ?

[@miklosmayerphoto]

I would first invest in lenses. But buy those that are for full-frame sensor, so if you ever buy a full-frame camera (like the R8, which is very cheap), then you'll have good lenses already.

[@Jecqan]

An amazing review with everything i wanted to know :) Love this camera, but shutter sound, wtf?? CANON WTF? Sigh...

[@BucharestBytes]

Well ,you we re wrong when saying that the lens becomes a 29 mm from a 18mm...If it was a RF lens ,it would have been true, but this lens is RF-S specifically made for crop sensors like the ones of the R10 ,R7 ,R50 and R100 .

[@miklosmayerphoto]

It is a 18 mm lens, which has a field of view equivalent of a 29 mm lens on a full-frame camera. So the actual, physical focal length is 18 mm, but it gives a view as a 29mm lens on a full-frame camera. So it's not wider, but actually tighter than most of other manufacturers have (Nikon has a 16-50mm kit lens for the Z50, which would gives a field of view of a 24-75 mm lens on a full-frame)

[@kellcoleStyleEnt]

Canon bs not putting raw video recording in the camera

[@miklosmayerphoto]

Because raw video is patented by RED (now acquired by Nikon). Also, this is an entry-level camera

[@snowwalker9999]

R10 is what M50 owners were hoping M50 MK ii was going to be. My M50 became useless after it fell from the couch on the carpet. The plasticky Canon cameras are flimsy and not very durable.
