    Canon always has refurb r100's that always go for super cheap. I picked one up for fun at only $249 (US) for the body and it's hilariously capable for what it is. I also have been shooting Canon digital since the d60 came out so my expectations for cameras probably is based on how far we've come from since back then. Something I've really been happy with the r100 is it's just a really fun timelapse camera. Just get a EF 10-18 and a cheap ef>rf converter if you don't already have one and you can get some killer 4k30fps timelapse video that looks amazing. I even picked up a LP-E17 battery adapter to USB-C and connect straight to a vmount to get past the horrible battery life issues the LP-E17 has.

    The Sony ZVE10 is still the best value camera in the Sony line up for $600... with a Yongnuo 16mm f1.8 and a Rode video micro II ... And you have a great studio set up under a $1000. Now of course we didn't talk about lighting, but you can be creative with natural light and reflectors, if you are on a low budget.

    The R100 may not be very competitive in the video department - but for photo, it is great bang for buck. A very good entry level mirrorless system camera as far as photo quality goes. The big negative though is the lack of an articulated screen.

    IMO more money into the camera than into the studio build up - this way you always have a better image to play with irrespective of the location. The R100 was surprising bad btw, and Agfa had good audio out of a box for a cam with no ports. In fact Agfa had a good vibe for a comedy channel 😄

    Honestly I'm kinda shocked how bad the Canon performed. At that price point I would have expected A LOT more. Yes it's "cheap" for a "real camera", but it's 600 bucks none the less and with Gerald's studio lighting even a mid-range phone camera would deliver adequate images. And the difference to other cameras that are just slightly more expensive or are a few generations old is MASSIVE. You can easily get a used Sony a7 Mk2 or something of the a6000 line for that price and those cameras run circles around the R100 when it comes to image quality.

    Well, the conclusion could have been Mark's ZV-E10 moment. :D
    I can't really understand what Canon does with its stuff, it was the same with the M50 Mk 2. In my country, the R100 is 450€ and the ZV-E10 (Mk 1) is about 620€, a new full frame A7 II is 720€. What Canon does with these cheaper cameras and their 4K abilities is just ridiculous because they advertised this R100 as an entry level camera, aiming at people coming from a smartphone. I highly doubt that people used to a smartphone will have any fun with this device because it doesn't even hold up to the standards of a modern smartphone. Smartphone shooters are hybrid shooters, so you can't leave video capabilities completely out if you are not coming up with any other major benefit. Doing selfies without a flippy screen isn't easy, too, I'd assume.
    I hope Canon's CEO gets one of these on his next anniversary or whatever, he will have the nightmares of his life. :D
