  • NegativeAutofocus slow with 4K video

The price-performance winner, the EOS R100, scores highly in photography with its simple operation, great image quality and fast autofocus with good subject recognition. Canon has cut back on features and the continuous shooting speed. The EOS R100 is not a video specialist. It films in 4K at a maximum of 25 frames per second and with a noticeably slow contrast autofocus.

The inexpensive camera model offers very good image quality, promises some photo fun and is sufficient for conventional hobby photography.

The EOS R100 is a great camera for tight budgets. When it comes to photography, it scores points with its simple operation, great image quality and fast autofocus with good subject recognition. Canon has cut back on the continuous shooting speed and video: Here, the autofocus employees the slower contrast measurement. Somewhat annoying: the display cannot be folded or swivelled.

The low price seems to have been a key criterion for the developers of the Canon EOS R100. This goal has been achieved, as the compact and very light R100 with its 600 euro kit price actually marks a very favourable entry into the mirrorless R system. Of course, there are a few things you have to do without with the R100...

The low price seems to have been a key criterion for the developers of the Canon EOS R100. This goal has been achieved, as the compact and very light R100 with its 700 euro kit price actually marks a very favourable entry into the mirrorless R system.

The EOS R100 just achieves the grade "very good". The image quality is very good for an APS-C camera with 24 megapixels. The EOS R50, which costs a good 150 euros more, performs significantly better in terms of speed and features.
