![]() ![]() The R100 is identical in size to the R50, at 116 x 86 x 69mm (4.5 x 3.4 x 27in), but its 356g (12.5oz) weight makes it the lightest EOS R camera in Canon's lineup.Īlso released today is a new lens, the RF 28mm F2.8 STM.Ĭanon Introduces its Most Affordable, Compact, and Lightweight EOS R Camera Ever: The EOS R100 And a feature called 'Hybrid Auto mode' takes 2–4 seconds of video before a still shot and automatically places it into a time lapse video.Īccording to Canon the R100 is compatible with all RF (with a 1.6 crop factor) and RF-S lenses, except for the Canon Control Ring Mount Adapter EF-EOS R, which will still act as an adapter but won’t allow users to use the control ring. On the video side, the older sensor and processor mean you get 4K (cropped) and 1080p (full-width) at up to 24p and 60p, respectively, though there is a vertical video capture option. However, the R100 does not include animal and subject tracking. Eye-detection autofocus is also supported along with face and body tracking. These modes allow users to apply effects such as black+white and tilt-shift or tell the camera to prioritize a blurred background. (However, it's unlikely anyone will ever fit a fast enough lens to the R100 to notice.)Ĭanon says it has included features that smartphone users enticed by an interchangeable lens system would enjoy.Ĭanon's Intelligent Auto (A+) and creative filter modes are present. We don't have an R100 in hand yet, but we suspect the R100's shutter assembly will run into some of the same issues the R8 ran into with image quality glitches that potentially creep in at very high shutter speeds (typically 1/1000 sec or faster) when used with very wide aperture values. We previously saw Canon take this same cost cutting measure in the EOS R8. The R100 shoots at a very pedestrian 3.5 fps (Servo AF) or 6.5 fps (One-Shot AF). This results in a lighter and less expensive shutter assembly but also has some byproducts such as limiting the camera's burst rate. It makes use of a single rear-curtain mechanical shutter, which means the camera doesn't open a mechanical shutter to start an exposure but does close one to end it. The R100 also opts for just one command dial along the index finger, skips a rear joystick and, like other entry-level EOS R cameras, has no IBIS. The rear screen is fixed and there is no touchscreen to get those users must go up one tier to the R50. The SD card slot only supports UHS-I cards. The OLED EVF is a relatively modest 2.36 million dot unit. Unsurprisingly, they ended up excluding some features found in EOS R cameras at higher price points. They reused the sensor and Digic 8 processor from 2020's EOS M50 Mark II, carried over the Canon LP-E17 battery from the R50, and set their engineers loose to seek other ways to reduce costs with a goal of creating the cheapest introduction to the R line. To hit these price points, it seems Canon started by borrowing from the parts bins of existing cameras. The entry-level camera will arrive on store shelves in July 2023 at an MSRP of $479.99 body only, or in two bundle options with lens: $599.99 with an RF-S 18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM or $829.99 with that lens plus an RF-S 55-210mm F5-7.1 IS STM lens. ![]() Canon has announced the EOS R100, a 24MP APS-C sensor interchangeable lens mirrorless camera that becomes the lowest MSRP RF-mount camera in their lineup. ![]()
