The Canon EOS R100 is a new budget mirrorless camera that targets the low-end “affordable” market. This model uses a 24.2-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor and a DIGIC 8 processor, two components that will sound familiar to professionals in the world of photography because they are the same ones that were present in the Canon EOS M50 Mark II.
This model also has the Dual Pixel AF technology with 143 autofocus zones and face detection, It has a burst capture mode of up to 6.5 frames per second, and will allow us to record 1080p video without cropping while maintaining a rate of 30 FPS. We can also use it to record 4K video, but in this case with a crop and a maximum of 24 FPS.
In general terms, the Canon EOS R100 is a relatively basic model, but it is an interesting option for those who want begin or begin to deepen in the world of photography, since it maintains a more than acceptable level of features, and has a three-inch LCD screen that we can use to see our photos in detail.
Looking at its specifications it is clear that the Canon EOS R100 is a model designed, above all, for those who want to go from a smartphone to a mirrorless camera, but who do not have a high budget or who want to do it with a reduced investment. This becomes even clearer when we see its price, which is $479.99, a quite reasonable figure if we take into account both its quality of finishes and the level of features it offers.
That number should become about 499.99 euros in Spain, after applying the currency exchange and the corresponding taxes (21% VAT). According to Canon, it will be available from the month of July, and will be accompanied by a lens kit that will cost $600 (around 649 euros to change, including VAT).
