Bang for the buck with fireworks
on July 13, 2024
Posted by: Rambo
Camera bought in February 2023. I was actually contemplating the move to mirrorless for some time then (from trusty old 50D supplementing 5Dm2) and was evaluating whether I should get The R7 (which several people were discouraging me against) or R10. Eventually I settled for R10 reasoning it would be pretty much a stop-gap before I decide it is wirth to get a mirrorless FF camera.
Boy, I was in for a surprise! Despite its price, the camera doesn't feel cheap in any way. Sure, it may not have weather sealing, nickel-alloy body, two card slots and a battery, that can be treated seriously, but what it offers is worth every penny. And it offers A LOT.
For starters 12 fps burst rate with UHS-II compatible card slot when used wisely will let you forget there's actually buffer limit. And image quality is more than decent - maybe not perfect, but for the price you get a proven sensor, latest imaging processor and very fine focusing and subject tracking. In fact fine enough to ditch my DSLRs and use the camera for almost a full year.
With RF 18-150 lens it weights barely over 1 kg.
It has wireless connectivity out of the box and works excellent with remote control software.
Also it can operate and charge from an USB power bank - and that alone makes that tiny battery far less of a burden to the point you actually stop caring.
I also got it with EF mount ring which made the transition even smoother. Needless to say, it works perfect with every EF/EF-S lens I had.
What I don't like:
- RF-S lenses move vignetting to almost an artistic level. Sure, you can fix it in postprocessing - especially when you're shooting RAW mainly, but that requires lens definitions/references and they're NOT perfect as of yet (even Canon's own DPP software can get illumination correction VERY wrong);
- the flash is a nice addition, but what R10 has is bare minimum and, as with many new Canon cameras, third-party lamps are pretty much hit-or-miss;
- the camera is in general very responsive, but it does have a noticeable shutter lag and digital shutter is usable for static shots mostly - sensor readout is just too slow.

Couldn't Be Happier Six Months In

The camera buying process is not an easy one. I was a bit of a newbie when I began my research, but I'd call myself an intermediate. I had done some photography using my school's cameras before, but this blew me away. I was worried this was too inexpensive compared to other higher-end alternatives, but I made the right decision. The camera is excellent for any type of photography. I have to do a lot of school sports, and I've never had any issues. The kit lens covers anything I need. I might get a zoom lens down the line, but for everyday use, it's fantastic. The automatic modes have improved so much on newer cameras that there's hardly a need to adjust many settings on your own. I think anybody who got this would love it, and I would buy this over any camera in this price range.

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.

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.

Nice camera; still learning all the functions

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm coming from a Nikon DSLR but had been curious about the mirrorless. I am not a professional, but enjoy photography and have taken several photography classes. First thing I noticed is that the body of this is significantly lighter weight than my Nikon and feels good in my hand. I knew that my Nikon lenses would obviously not be compatible, but what I hadn't counted on was the difficulty I would have learning the Canon menus and options after having been so familiar with the Nikon. Also, overcoming the muscle memory from the dial/button/everything placement from my Nikon to the Canon was and is frustrating. This is no fault or shortcoming of the camera, just my experience. If you want really nice pics, as with any camera, you need other lenses than what comes with this. I would assume it would be a relatively easy transition to this mirrorless Canon for anyone who is already in the Canon world. I'm eager to continue learning and using this camera to get some of the same stellar pics I am able to get with my Nikon.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Okay, wow! I have been using this new camera for the past week and I am in love with it. I use it to take pictures for Instagram and it does an amazing job. I love how lightweight it is, the lens is retractable which makes it very convenient for carrying around. The functions are easy to get to, a beginner can use this with ease. The image quality is beautiful too.

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
