Great review Ken! I appreciate all your insight, I love how natural & direct you are about the camera. Thank you!!!!
Thank YOU! All about saying it like it is.
Ken, you are a legend here in Finland also! Keep your legacy going, from decade to another!
Thanks! Oh, I’d so love to visit Finland. You guys rock!
100%
When I first fell in love with photography many years age, I would always look at Ken’s website to check out gear reviews. Plus he also had great images of the gear reviewed!
@@DJFAmenHeavy same here and still do. And it’s incredible how the website remained fully functional and easy to use even when entering the mobile device status quo of surfing the web.
@@GhostWarmthhis website is such a valuable source of information!!
@@GhostWarmthI don't many people still building their own sites like Ken does! Simple and effective.
Many thanks to the video producer for demonstrating the innovative capabilities of the Canon R100 camera.
Thanks!
Great info Ken. Great presentation skills as always. A more attractive design too than their previous entry level cameras. Have a great week.
Thank YOU!! Attractive design, but very inexpensive and free from many convenience features we take for granted. Glad they give us these options.
Straight to the point. Thanks for the great insights!!!
Thanks for noticing, I'm all about no BS and just the facts.
I found one the r100 in a pawn shop for $100. The broker gave me an additional 20% off for being a veteran. All in $80.
Thanks for your service! Man, great deal!!!!!!!!!!
Just ordered one of these with adapter to use my old FD lenses. These are on sale right now. (be sure to link from Ken's website to help him out)
Thanks, hope you love it.
Please don't stop making these videos
You got it! Thanks!
Hi Ken, took your advice from the web review. I did purchase the R100 body only and then the most current efs 18-135mm lens. I’m going to play with it to get use to it, but the main reason for the purchase was our upcoming trip to Australia later this summer. Wanted something a bit smaller, lighter, and easy to use. Most importantly, no lens swapping…
Eeech, efs on adapter is like twice the size of the RFS 18-150. This is the lens you want: kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/lenses/18-150mm.htm thanks!
@@KenRockwellTV Yep, you’re correct… Got the Wong one, in the process of swapping to the correct one… Thanks !!!
Love this camera and a great camera . This Lilliputian camera I bought as package . For the features this camera has for this kind of money is overkill . I love love this camera for its mirrorless interchangeable lenses . If I want more features I am ready to pay more for this miniature wonder .
Thanks!
Hi Ken, I do like the pop up Flash especially on sunny days, where it's good for portraits. The people face and eye detection is certainly welcomed. As you have said in the past Ken, in the right hands the photographer can make do with some of those less features. Thanks Ken 😊
Thank you!
Your welcome Ken 😊
people have never had it so good when it comes to photography.....although nothing is as straightforward as my first camera, an early Kodak Instamatic choose sun or cloud and pop on a cube flash in the dark...voila!
Thanks!
Touchscreens are lame. I agree. My OM-D has one and I always forget about it. It’s not hard to push a button which works even if the screen is wet. Nice overview. Nice little camera. Keep Rockin’ Well Ken!
Thanks!
Looking at a solid beginner camera. Canon r100 or canon rebel t7?
R100 all the way. Forget the T7, it’s horrible and much older technology. The t7 review is at www.kenrockwell.com/canon/t7.htm and the r100 at www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/r100.htm thanks!
I can’t decide between this and the T7 or something else
Forget the T7; that was the old dale system. R100 takes great pictures but has only rudimentary features and controls. The R50 is much nicer, and the R10 even better. See all my detailed reviews and comparisons among these at www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/index.htm
Wanted to know what you thought about these for getting into the R series I still shoot on my eos m and I still enjoy life 😮
THe R100, R50, R10 and R7 are superb. We're all different in what we like. Thanks!
@@KenRockwellTV thank u!!
I love my 5D MKII, but for how much it misses focus, it drives me nuts! Might have to buy an R series body one day.
Sorry about that, thanks for watching.
Sorry about that. Often it comes down to getting the right settings on any camera if it's not giving you the results you want.
Make sure you set your lens fine adjustment if you think it's missing too often, otherwise well, maybe it's worth it. I went from a 5D2 to an RP recently. Awesome camera and the battery life isn't the best, but 4hrs of use for birding is fine enough for me, especially when they're so easy to pocket and you can charge them in-camera with USB
@@KenRockwellTV I am spoiled with my SL3 Rebel though. It has dual pixel autofocus with eye and face tracking in live view, which really hits focus. The 5D MKII, isn't missing a lot, just the typical missed shots you always get with a DSLR. The picture quality is top notch!
Hey Ken looking to get either an R10 or Nikon z50. Read your review on both but still having a hard time deciding
R10 definitely! I don’t recommend buying Nikon, stick with Canon. You’ve seen my written reviews at KenRockwell.com, also see my full frame comparison at www.kenrockwell.com/tech/comparisons/nikon-vs-canon-vs-sony-full-frame.htm. While the z50 is better than most Nikons, it’s out of date and the Canon system is superior for most kinds of shooting. Does this help? Email me at my website if you need more data. Thanks!!!!!!!
@@KenRockwellTV thank you! I actually purchased a Z5. I was excited to try full frame but the autofocus was not good and I need a built in flash. I most likely will be returning/exchanging the Z5 for the R10. The only concerning thing would be that the R10 looks like it over-sharpens at higher ISO’s and makes the details look crunchy. Let me know if I should consider anything else.
Mind-controlled AF 😁 I like the sound of it.
Honest! It just works, no conscious input needed. Thanks!
Thumbnail is of the R6 Mk2. Not important, but not really representative either.
Ha! You're right! Great eyes; I just fixed it. THANKS!!!
@@KenRockwellTV not a problem. 👍
Hi Ken. Literally just picked one of these up today - my first ever DSLR, something I’ve lusted after for the last couple of decades, lol!! I got mine as a twin lens kit with the RF-S 18-45 & RF-S 55-210 lenses. I’m looking forward to diving into this fascinating new world!! Cheers from the land Down Under. : )
Hi, Mate! You’re so lucky; this isn’t a DSLR, which went obsolete 5 years ago; it’s an inexpensive and state of the art mirrorless camera, which is the newest thing. You were lucky enough to miss DSLRs, which were just halfway between film and digital. Thanks!
Do you have a review of the 5dsr yet?
Yes, been out for years at www.kenrockwell.com/canon/5ds.htm thanks!
Tanks!!!
Yer welcome!
Yer welcome!
A decent little camera I guess, but for most people I would recommend saving up just a bit more for the R50 which is great…or just stick to your Apple iPhone or Google Pixel for a small camera with good quality.
Agreed. The R100 skips too much for me, but we all have different needs and budgets. Canon was founded almost 100 years ago on making a version of the new LEICA camera that normal people could actually afford, and this spirit has never died: great photos with affordable, practical cameras. Thanks!
This really needed touch screen, the number of people pinch and zooming on my R7 would be flummoxed with this R100. Otherwise I get it
Thanks!
I don't buy Canon any more. I like alternative lenses to consider. I have a EOS 250D though. It has screen which turns forwards and a flash. What do you think of the differences with R100?
Canon is the leader in mirrorless, both in performance and in sales as well as my favorite. I don't understand your specific question. Thanks!
Sorry about that, I don't understand your specific question. Thanks for asking, though!
@@KenRockwellTV So sorry to be opaque. Really rhetorical question. In summary: is 250D just as good for stills? (Lightweight, rotating screen ,flash) I am sorry to bother you with this just to entertain me. Rarely take video but I took some of blow hole in Kiama NSW where I appreciate lightweight. You seem to walk further in Australia! Really appreciate your dedication to replying to an amateur. Could understand it if you were replying to fellow professionals.
@@SimonDanson The 250D is known as the SL3 in America, and I've reviewed it in detail at www.kenrockwell.com/canon/sl3.htm. its a crappy camera; I'm surprised Canon sells it in the developed world. The R100 is much better simply because all the pictures are in focus, while the SL3 misses too many shots with bad focus.
Thanks again. For the money it looks like a super little camera and as much as some would ever use anyway. As much as I like Canon some of their omissions not much farther up the line seem perplexing...Maybe not by much but sensor covers and ultrasonic sensor cleaning are simple handy things. Maybe they think target people will go poking at sensor covers and that's more likely a warranty V a clean they can charge for? No USB charging in 2024 seems a plain oversight trying to prize people away from phones whilst explaining they will need to clean a sensor more often than might be needed unless they go R7?........Again target audience in mind???? Nice little offering overall though...
It’s a bare bones camera, the sort usually sold outside the developed world where every penny counts. I’d definitely get the R10 rather than the R100 or R50, but o shoot it every day and don’t care what it costs. Thanks!
the biggest R100 competitor is actually R50
Agreed. Thanks!
Mr Ken my akhi, how are u
تصحبك
Why taking a photo of a stupid sea container? I mean that X5.....
Like mountain climbing: because it was there. Thanks!
It's 2024 and Canon won't give us a touchscreen.
This is a bottom dollar camera optimized for image quality, so you miss the convenience fluff. Touchscreens are lame. Thanks!
I mean they only made cameras for like 120 years without touchscreens. How will we manage without one 😆
@@KenRockwellTV I have been lusting after a mirror less camera from a decade ago. Finally got mine today and been dabbling with it since a few hours . Auto functions are good for a novice like me . Auto focus locks on real quick not like my rebel .
