[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Admittedly I don’t have a ton of experience using this type of camera but it’s a great entry level camera into the hobby and I found it was light to travel with and easy to use. It has good value for the quality

Amazing camera

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this Canon - EOS R10 RF-S18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM Lens Kit to replace some older cameras I have. This camera is absolutely amazing!! This camera is packed full of great features and the possibilities are endless with this camera. I will be getting an adapter so I can use some of my older lenses. Right out of the box - this camera is perfect.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A small mirrorless camera capable of good work, with some problems
on March 14, 2024
Posted by: Wndml01
from Pleasant Grove, Utah
I have had this camera about 5 months now. I have discovered most of its strengths & weaknesses. It is capable of excellent work under good lighting conditions; however, it struggles in contrasty light. Highlights get washed out & shadows are very dark. Detail can't be recovered Photoshop. Lightened shadows become gray & very grainy with no detail. Available light pictures have acceptable, but not great color under fluorescent lighting & highlights exhibit little detail.
My main objections to the camera are related to its very small size. Canon currently only makes 4 RF-S lenses for it & 3 of the 4 are extremely slow (F4.5-6.3 or F5.0-7.1). I bought the 18-150mm lens because it was the only one with a decent aperture, F3.5 at wide angle. All the other RF-S lenses look like toys with dime sized front elements. Because the body is so small it is hard to use the small knobs & switches. I keep hitting buttons I don't want to, especially when I take vertical pictures. The built-in flash doesn't pop up very high & it is very underpowered. my partial fame Canon 70D's built in flash has 2 1/2 times the power. This makes the camera use very high ISOs for flash, which hurts image quality & flash range. It actually does better than I expected because the camera seems to handle high ISOs fairly well.
Because of the limited lens selection of RF-S lenses, with most being horribly slow, I mostly use DSLR lenses with the EF-RF adapter. All my DSLR zoom lenses vignette with the built-in flash because it doesn't pop up high enough. Only my 22mm pancake doesn't vignette with the built-in flash. All these problems could have been avoided if the body were larger. Non-native EF & EF-S lenses with an adapter on such a small body create balance issues. Even the native EF-S 18-150mm lens balances poorly on the R10, because the lens is fairly long & it is pretty heavy.
The biggest problem I found is that when I use my Tokina 10-17mm F3.5-4.5 fisheye lens & I take a picture with the EF-RF adapter the JPEG has serious chromatic aberration, but It is not coming from the lens. This lens works perfectly on my Canon 70D or if I use it with a Metabones Speedbooster on the R10, instead of with the Canon EF-RF adapter. There is no CA in the raw file. I will attach both pictures to illustrate this problem. The JPEG with CA is an, out of the camera, JPEG & the one with no CA is a JPEG converted from raw. I took the picture as Raw + JPEG.
Both the Canon 10-18mm & 18-45mm RF-S lenses produce serious barrel distortion (& probably CA) that get corrected in-camera by the processing engine, when output as JPEGs. I learned this on reviews of those 2 lenses. Such an approach is less than ideal. A poor lens corrected digitally is not as good as a good lens that needs no correction. The R10 processing engine must be trying to correct non-existent CA in my Tokina lens & is therefore introducing CA as a result. That is the only way this can happen. I have shot professionally, so I am technologically proficient enough to shoot raw & convert the file to a JPEG to prevent this problem, amateurs are not.
With the exception of the problems I mentioned, all my Canon EF & EF-S lenses & all my off-brand EF mount lenses work very well with the Canon EF-RF adapter. They all auto-focus well. All of my full frame Canon & off-brand lenses & 3 of my 4 off-brand partial frame lenses, that fill a full frame, work well using the Metabones Speedbooster on the R10. In fact some work better. My 28-80mm full fame kit lens does not vignette with the R10's built-in flash with the speedbooster because the speedbooster is shorter than the Canon EF-RF adapter & the 28-80mm full fame lens is shorter at wide angle than the partial frame equivalent 18-55mm lens is at wide angle.
The R10 is a very complicated camera. The manual is over 900 pages, therefore it has a lot of capability, if you can master it. If the body were larger so it would balance well with adapted lenses so was easier to use with larger buttons & dials, it had a more powerful built-in flash & if it didn't have the CA problem with my Tokina fisheye lens I would give it a much better rating.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Battery doesn't hold a charge

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited about this camera especially to use for portraits. However, I can't use it since the battery does not hold a charge. I will have to get another battery to see if it is the battery, charger, or camera that is the problem. Would love to use it but unfortunately can't.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The good, the bad and the ugly
on March 3, 2024
Posted by: Wndml01
from Pleasant Grove. Utah
I bought the R10 with 18-150mm lens kit a month ago. The camera has a lot of nice features and in some circumstances takes amazing pictures. It does not do well in contrasty light, however. Highlights get washed out and shadows are really dark. Lightened the shadows in Photoshop just turns them gray. very grainy & reveals no details. But that is not the worst thing the R10 does. Now comes the ugly.
When I use my Tokina 10-17mm fisheye partial frame sensor digital lens with the Canon adapter at 10mm it shows horrible chromatic aberration all across the frame at both wide & small apertures.
This same lens exhibits no CA on my Canon 70D at 10mm or with my Canon 35mm camera at 15mm (the lens fills a full frame sensor at 15mm). I am attaching pictures to demonstrate this condition. I will try to include blow ups of the edge of the frame also. I have only seen this condition with my fisheye lens. It does not seem to happen with even my super wide Canon 10-22mm DSLR lens.
The only way I found to use my Tokina zoom fisheye lens without this happening on the R10 is to use it with a Metabones Speedbooster with the lens zoomed to 14.5mm, instead of the regular Canon adapter. Then the images are the same coverage & look very similar to those that come out of my 20MP Canon 70D DSLR. This is obviously not caused by the lens or it would happen with my 70D at the same zoom setting. It does not. The R10 sensor is doing something weird.
Incidentally, the Metabones produces amazing pictures with the R10 using full frame DSLR lenses of any make, including off brand Canon mount lenses sold for partial frame sensor DSLRs. Many of them fill a full frame sensor. It works perfectly with all my Canon EF, Sigma, Tamron & Tokina lenses with EF mount, including my Tokina zoom fisheye.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I will not bother you with all specifications which you can easily check on the page I will tell you my experience of using this camera for a month straight almost every day. as a part of my blogging hobby I need good quality compact camera to produce video and photo content. This camera will easily help you to do so and even more ( if you trying to boost your photographer skills and don't wanna invest in cameras with mirrors this is the best alternative you'll find)! you can mount it to any selfie stick ( of course steady not a cheap one) or use your hand to film vlogs, as well as any type of a tripod and use flipped display to see how good you look. resolution and colors are too wait and juicy and I even thinking that I use pro mirror camera.
what about photos - high quality day or night, I prefer portrait mode its such a nice way to make gorgeous product photos and selfies for blog.
we own multiple Canon products and every time were buy new one we discover that perfection and Quilty of Canon products on highest level.
