Canon EOS R100: A Missed Opportunity for Beginner-Friendly Photography

The EOS R100’s video capabilities also leave much to be desired. It offers 4K video with a 1.55x crop and limited slow-motion capabilities. Compared to the EOS R50, which shoots oversampled 4K video with no crop, the R100’s video features feel outdated and restrictive. Furthermore, the absence of wide-angle 4K video due to electronic stabilization limitations adds to the camera’s video-related shortcomings.

While the EOS R100 benefits from Canon’s latest RF mount, which is the company’s current focus, its feature set remains underwhelming. Continuous shooting is limited to 3.5fps with continuous autofocus, and the autofocus system, although effective, is a basic version compared to Canon’s more advanced offerings. Overall, the camera’s tech closely resembles the EOS M50, a model that is now five years old.
