Small pack, big punch!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first impression of the R10 was that it was tiny compared to my R5. Despite its size it’s a perfect entry level camera for someone wanting to get into a new hobby. The lens that it comes with is versatile and travel friendly. I was also surprised that the LCD was touch screen. Perfect camera for vloggers although I did have issues with the autofocus a handful of times, but I’m sure this is something canon can resolve with a firmware update. All my canon glass paired perfectly with the R10 and allowed for more dynamic range. The camera does alright in low light but I wouldn’t plan to use it once the sun goes down. (Photos included) The built in flash washes out the photos but that’ll happen with any built in flash on any brand. The R10 uses different batteries than the other professional mirrorless cameras so consider that if you want to continue upgrading your gear. I wouldn’t buy more than two batteries if this is your first camera and there’s a possibility of you upgrading. Overall, I loved the portability and sharpness of the images. The video is crispy but just small issues with autofocus here and there. If canon were to pack all the canon r5 has into the size of the r10 I would easily pay double the price of the existing r5! Something to think about canon!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great entry level camera!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cannon R10 Review
For initial context, I come from another entry level DSLR (Nikon 5300) with 50mm 1.3f, 18-55mm 3.5-5.6f, and 70-300mm 4.5-6.3f lenses. After the first shoot, the mirrorless and more modern image processing system was immediately attractive for someone who comes from an older camera. I focused on the 4k video capabilities because 4k at 60fps and 1080 120fps was the most enticing features for me who comes from a camera that lacks in video. Note on 4k at 60fps and 1080 120fps is that it is a cropped sensor and has to be specifically selected in the manual video mode. The video that came out was very crisp and has good dynamic range. However, the image stabilization was little if none. I did notice that shooting in 4k 60fps resulted in Adobe Premiere Pro’s warp stabilizer doing a good job at smoothing the video. Another potential benefit (depending on your use case) is the autofocus (AF). When in AF mode, the R10 was very fast and accurate, however, pulling focus in AF mode was near impossible. Shortly into the shoot, I shifted into manual focus and enjoyed this much more. After exploring the impressive video capabilities of the camera, I tried the photo potential. I immediately noticed that the picture response time was lackluster at best. Even at a shutter speed of 1/1000, the time from pressing the shutter button to the camera capturing the picture feels sluggish. Based on my initial testing, I would not recommend for sports photography. After getting used to these nuances, I really enjoyed the experience. The kit lens was crisp and had a wide variety of focal lengths, however, I would want to invest into a prime lens that has a much better f-stop (aperture).

Love This Camera

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This camera is great. It is easy to attach the lens and taking pictures is quick once you get focus. I love the fact that you can add a mic if you want and can use it for both pictures and videos. Just don't forget your SD card are you won't be able to take any pictures.

Wonderful camera and great lens!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This camera is lightweight and easy to use has a lot of different settings still going through them all. Love the mirror-less capabilities, less chance of stuff breaking. Downside is prior models lenses do not fit as of now so would have to buy all new lenses or hope for some kind of compatible adapter. Easy to use app to auto transfer photos to phone and take remote pictures with the camera.

Outstanding entry-level mirrorless camera
on September 15, 2022
Posted by: kfaustin22

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new Canon R10 is a fantastic entry level camera based on their newest mirrorless technologies. I've been an avid photographer for many years, shooting various systems and sensor sizes. With this newest entry they've made a lightweight, accessible, quite capable camera at an affordable price range that I think most users will really love.
Build quality is very good - it's a fair amount of plastic, but it feels good in the hand and durable, and this helps with the weight. Its overall size is nice too, not quite as bulky as a lot of its full frame equivalents.
Button layout and access is pretty common and easy to work with, no real complaints there. They've kept these pretty consistent over all their line which is nice to see instead of experimenting or placing things in odd locations.
Canon's menu system is great - it's super clear, especially being a user of other systems, it's not confusing and laid out well.
Having a touch flip out screen that is fully articulating, is great and should be a must on most cameras these days. It's responsive and clear.
The viewfinder is good, not mind blowing, but perfectly adequate for most people's needs.
What is nice to see is the inclusion of some of the higher end model features here - the focus system and number of focus points, animal/human eye detection 10-bit 4:2:2 4k 60fps (at a crop, but still this is great). Historically you would see some of these things reserved for something higher up than an entry level, so it's great Canon is including these.
Also surprising is the shot frame rate - this camera actually makes for a pretty decent sports or wildlife camera - even with a mechanical shutter (so you avoid any rolling shutter) - 15fps is pretty impressive.
The kit lens it comes with is not outstanding but they never are, that's why it's a kit lens. For your average person just getting into a mirrorless it will work fine. There's a limited number of native APS-C lenses out for this camera (that will change soon over the next year I'm sure), but you can spend minimally and get an adapter and use any of Canon's vast lens lineup, so once you want to use higher quality lenses, you have a ton of options.
Overall I'd say this is an outstanding bargain and great for those just getting into photography. It's pretty versatile, light, easy to use, and expandable as you start learning. I plan to teach the family how to use it and it will be our go to rig for events and fun.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used to always have a camera on me before smartphones became prevalent. I decided to get a new digital camera & get back to taking pic’s, not from a iphone. This canon has so many different features I am trying to familiarize myself with. It is very comfortable & I appreciate the neck strap for when I’m not shooting. I cant wait to explore this camera’s features more as I get back into photography.

Incredible Camera super sharp amazing features

from Englewood, NJ
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was in the market for an upgrade because my old camera was several years old. We were left my cameras were very highly rated and the specific one because it came with versatile lens. The very attractive box and everything was packaged very well. Instructions were very simple to understand and at the same time very thorough as there are so many functions and features that are available to customize The camera for your specific needs. Right out of the box the camera performs perfectly and even if you do not know how to use the advanced features in the basic program mode the camera will perform flawlessly I was incredibly impressed by how clear the pictures were. I am attaching some of the pictures to show you how sharp images are from the camera. Flash is also a great feature and the battery life is pretty impressive. All in all, I am very impressed with this camera
