Priced at $699 (approx) / £669 / AU$1,099 with the RF-S 18-45mm lens, the EOS R100 is the lowest-cost model in Canon’s mirrorless range. Despite this, its features and design choices raise concerns. While the camera does feature a 24MP APS-C crop sensor, it lacks the advancements found in the EOS R50, making it feel like a stripped-down version of its sibling.
One of the most glaring issues is the design of the EOS R100. Rather than opting for a compact and vlogging-friendly style similar to Canon’s EOS M200, the camera retains a DSLR-style form factor. Additionally, it features a fixed, non-touch-sensitive LCD screen—a questionable choice considering its target audience of beginners who are accustomed to smartphones and touch interfaces.
