Very Happy with it, I have one little gripe, but this is my 1st camera

So, this camera has been great so far. This is the 1st camera I’ve purchased for myself. So obviously, I’m not well versed. I have used DSLR’s, and do a lot of “drone photography”, so I do actually understand some of the basics.
I started shouting with “Auto”, but quickly started tinkering with “Manual” mode, and even set my “custom dial” C1 & C2 to some decent settings.
My only real “gripe” is that if you enable HDR, you can’t save that to a custom mode. It has to be turned off before it lets you. I figured that I would be able to re-map a button to quickly get to the HDR settings, but again, a roadblock.
I know a lot of people don’t use HDR, and maybe in the future I won’t either, but I really wish I could turn it on, without having to jump through a bunch of settings.
That being said, I’m extremely excited to use this camera, and so far, I’ve loved the outcome of the photos.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Camera

I was looking for a camera that would capture everything I see and for once that is what I am able to do. I do a lot of wildlife photography and that can be the most difficult thing to do. For example, the photo of the Hairy Woodpecker was a point and shoot without time to make sure things were right. I thought for sure it would be blurry but ended up being one of my favorite shots.

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.

Incredible Entry Mirrorless Camera for Vacations!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who hasn't owned a true camera in over a decade and strictly relied on a cell phone for all my photography, I forgot how much of a difference proper photography equipment makes. With covid restrictions loosening up and vacation travel becoming easier, I bought this camera as a nice entry level mirrorless camera for my first vacation to Costa Rica. First thing that popped out at me was just how compact this camera was. Packing and carrying this camera around is a breeze! The kit lense for this camera is also great, providing a solid 2.5X total zoom with an additional 1.6 crop sensor magnification. The lense has a parked position that compress the lense to about the size of a nifty-50 lens, great for carrying in a sling bag. Having not used a camera in so long, after watching a few tutorial videos, I found this camera to be very intuitive. I used it in mostly Aperture Priority mode and found the camera itself does an amazing job managing shutter speed and iso level to produce amazing photos. The autofocus is also incredibly quick and responsive, recognizing people and animals so well. The AF servo is also great at tracking fast moving subjects like my neices running around. For me, this is the perfect entry level camera, that I can find myself slowly building up my range of RF lenses and then in 3-4 years upgrading to the more advance Canon mirrorless camera. Instant recommendation!

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!

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.
