Canon R10 is one of the best entry level mirrorless camera for a wider audience including Beginner Photographers and Content creators. Though this camera is classified as an entry level camera it is loaded with tonnes of customizable features. My previous camera was Canon T5i DSLR that was introduced in 2013 which really shoots some wonderful photographs and video which we use it for our YouTube channel where we get good feedback about the video quality even now. Since we were looking to upgrade to a 4K mirrorless camera for the content creation, we didn't really wanted to go for a high end camera. We wanted to stick to the budget camera without compromising on some of the key features like 4K video, Auto-focus and compact design. So far I have been very satisfied with the R10 and I would certainly recommend this camera to everyone except amateur Wildlife/Sports photographers who can go for the sibling Canon R7 which was introduced around the same timeframe. I am really surprised by how Canon has stayed on the top in terms of introducing new models with innovative technology to stay atop of the competition.
Pros:
1. Overall Design - First looks were truly amazing. We own a Canon T5i DSLR and wanted to upgrade to a basic mirrorless camera for our YouTube cooking channel for better shooting performance and sleek design. R10 is so sleek, light weight (Camera without the lens weighs about 0.84 pounds and with the 18 – 45 mm lens it weighs around 1.21 pounds) and compact that it can be mounted on to the tripod easily. Having said that this camera is a great choice for vloggers, content creators and travelers especially who are outdoors and use a Gimbal for shooting. Since this a Beginner's camera upon choosing different modes we get a very nice representation with pictures and explanation for each of the modes. In my old T5i there were no images and it was all old style with just plain text. But Canon has done a great job in explaining the different modes in a more easier way. This option can be turned off if you are are an expert.
2. Autofocus - Another feature that R10 shines is on Autofocus. With the Digic X processor, its really impressive how fast the autofocus is. Autofocus can be changed or selected by touching the LCD screen. The difference of Autofocus on my old T5i vs R10 was clearly visible. R10 has an excellent Autofocus system for both photos and videos. Autofocus is almost the same as the higher end R7 camera. Canon has done an excellent job with the autofocus considering the price point of this camera. One cannot ask for more.
3. Burst shooting speeds - This is one of the another features that makes Canon R10 a worthy buy. Being an entry level mirrorless camera, Canon has done an amazing job with the shooting speed. Thanks to the Digic X processor once again for making this possible. One cannot expect wonders with shooting speeds especially if you are a Professional Wildlife or Sports photographer. If so you should consider the higher end R7 camera that has both In built body stabilization as well as amazing burst shooting speeds.
4. APS-C Image Sensor - R10 has the same image sensor as the higher end mirrorless version R7 which was released around the same time frame.
5. Shutter Mode - R10 has 15 FPS Mechanical shutter and 24 FPS Electronic shutter that makes this camera insanely fast making it suitable for Sports or Wildlife photographs but may not be best for professional Wildlife and Sports photographers.
6. Tracking subjects - It is possible for one to choose from a wide range of subjects that we want the R10 to capture which can be People, Animals (not just Dogs and Cats) and Vehicles.
7. Video shooting - R10 shoots video in 4K at 24 and 30 fps, 4K Crop Mode 60 FPS and FHD up to 120 FPS.
8. Creative filters - R10 comes with different modes like Grainy B&W, Soft Focus, Fisheye effect, Art Bold effect, Water painting effect, Toy camera effect, Miniature effect, HDR art standard, HDR art vivid, HDR art vivid, HDR art embossed which some people can use to reduce the time they spend on editing.
9. Photo Scene modes - Self Portrait, Portrait, Smooth Skin, Group photo, Landscape, Panoramic Shot, Sports, Kids, Panning, Close-up, Food, Night Portrait, Handheld Night Scene, HDR Backlight Control and Silent shutter
10. Movie Recording modes - Movie auto exposure(Shutter speed and aperture are auto - 4K at 24 and 30 fps and FHD at 24, 30 and 60 fps), Movie manual exp (Shutter speed and aperture are manually set - 4K at 24 and 30 fps and FHD at 24, 30 and 60 fps), HDR Movie(FHD only 30 fps)
11. Wireless connectivity - R10 comes with the options to connect to Bluetooth and Wifi. I tried transferring the photos over the Bluetooth and that saved a lot of time that people usually spend in transferring the photos from the SD card to the computer.
12. USB Type C charging - One can use the Power bank to charge the battery via the USB Type C port which will add some juice to the battery just in case

SUMMARY
I found the R10 to be a more than capable camera for the casual photographer looking to get into mirrorless. Personally, it’s an upgrade in every way from my T5i with its improved autofocus system, 4K video recording, and incredible shutter speed. Especially if you are interested in photographing wildlife, sports, and dog park adventures – you will find a lot of high-end features in this compact everyday package.
PROS
- Fast shutter speed
- High 24MP APS-C sensor
- Dual Pixel CMOS
- Compact body
CONS
- EF lens compatibility requires an adapter
- Not compatible with battery grip accessory
INTRODUCTION
I’ve been a long-time casual Canon DSLR user starting with the Rebel T3i and upgrading to the T5i many years ago which I’ve used happily for the past 7 years. The Rebel line has always had a consumer focus and with the release of the R10, I feel that folks that have been hanging on to their Rebel series cameras should finally make the jump and Canon makes it an easy decision given just how capable the R10 is for the everyday photographer.
A NOTE ABOUT LENS MOUNTS
The first thing you need to know if you’re a Canon DSLR user: Yes, the mirrorless bodies use a different lens mount, but Canon has several options starting at $99 that will adapt your EF lens so that you don’t have to shell out and rebuild your whole lens kit. I picked up the basic adapter, but Canon also has adapters with a built-in control ring and even a unit with a built-in filter if your willing to spend a bit more.
SPECS
The R10 is awesome for several reasons namely that it brings a lot of the “pro” features to an accessible price point. Firstly, the R10 has a sizable 24MP APS-C CMOS sensor. Since it uses an APS-C sensor the R10 is compact and easy to travel with. It also uses the Dual Pixel CMOS AF II which excels in capturing moving subjects. While it is using the cropped sensor, the combination of the Dual Pixel technology and 15fps mechanical shutter speed (faster than the R5) make it a great action camera for sports and snapping shots of wildlife or your pup at the dog park.
HARDWARE
The R10 body design as I mentioned is small and light thanks to the APS-C format sensor - great for throwing into your day bag or small hike pack. Even with the smaller body, it packs tons of features and capabilities. The back of the camera features an articulating LCD touch screen. You can utilize this screen as a viewfinder, but you can also utilize the built in OLED viewfinder which overall I find to be quite good. The usual I/O is here – micro-HDMI, 3.5mm microphone, remote control input and USB-C for data and charging. There is a hot shot mount for external flash as well as a built-in flash. The bottom features a 1/4”-20 screw hole for tripods/mounts and the battery/memory card door. Unfortunately, this door doesn’t seem to be removeable, so a battery grip attachment is out of the question for the R10. There is no in-body stabilization or weather sealing, so you’ll want to be conscious of using recording video on the go and in the rain – more on recording video later.
CONROLS
From the controls perspective I appreciate the flexibility that the thumb dial, pointer finger selector, and control ring (when using an RF lens) have when shooting full manual. Having all of these literally at your fingertips is especially useful on hikes when you might be subject to continuously changing lighting conditions as you go in and our of tree cover. Learning how to navigate through menus took some getting used to as the controls layout is quite a bit different from my T5i, but still logically grouped and organized in a similar fashion.
PHOTOS
Overall, I found the R10 to be a huge upgrade from my T5i and a very capable and spec heavy daily shooter for most. I took advantage of the 18-45mm lens included with the kit as it provides the slimmest package. Additionally, I used the adapter to take advantage of my EF lenses (both my 50mm prime and 18-135mm). The kit lens is both versatile for portraits and landscapes, but for range I utilized my 18-135. I found the dual pixel auto-focus system to be incredible versatile especially for moving subjects (see attached photos of my dog park adventure). The R10 has AI subject detection options to maintain focus on people, animals and cars. In my experience at the dog park, this worked great for animals and humans alike. Additionally, with the 24 MP sensor, images came out sharp with great detail. Low light performance was decent, but I did notice a fair amount of noise and autofocus did struggle when the scene was especially dark. That being said I would not say that low light photography is the focus of this camera.
VIDEO
One of the major benefits of mirrorless cameras over their DSLR cousins is the performance of video. Where as DSLRs historically struggled to capture video over long periods of time due to increasing sensor temperature and increasing image noise. The R10 can record oversampled 10-bit 4K 30fps and 10

The Canon EOS R10 is a truly impressive and outstanding camera. It is a solid mid-range camera that performs beautifully!
With stellar features and functionality, and excellent specifications, this mirrorless, interchangeable lens camera is terrific. The EOS R10 may fall towards the entry level of Canon cameras, however, it is not an entry level camera by any standard. It is a robust and flexible camera with excellent hardware and a comprehensive and powerful feature set.
Canon recently released the new APS-C Sensor (1.6x crop factor) EOS R10 and R7 models. There are some notable differences between them. The most significant is that the R7 has In Body Image Stabilization (IBIS), while the R10 does not, and relies on Lens Image Stabilization which can also work with electronic image stabilization in Movie mode. The R7 has a 32.5 MP sensor, and the R10 is 24.2 MP. The R7 is -5EV and the R10 is -4EV. The R7 has a higher capacity battery, 7k oversampling 4k video instead of 6k, and two SD card slots instead of one. The R7 also costs substantially more!
Decades ago, I shot both 2 ¼ square and 35mm formats. I bulk loaded film and developed and printed in my darkroom. I also sold every type of photography product in large camera stores. My appreciation of good photography gear and of good photography continues. A significant change, however, has been that in the film days a “big shooting day” might have been about 216 images. Thanks to digital photography I sometimes shoot about 1000 - 1500 stills and videos, something that would have been incomprehensible and inconceivable with film.
Digital photography and automation allow anyone to shoot excellent images. In the hands of creative people, these cameras afford great capabilities to capture shots that would likely never have been captured with manually operated film cameras.
Mirrorless, interchangeable lens digital cameras are an excellent choice for many users, and the Canon 10 is just such a camera.
The R10s list of features, functions and specifications is extensive and far beyond inclusion in a brief review. If not for the space limitations of the site, I could expound on the powerful and flexible features and functionality of the R10 at great length. Suffice it to say, the Canon R10 is impressive in many important ways.
The only notable disappointment with the R10 is the kit lens. Presently, Canon offers only two native RF-S lenses, designed specifically for the new R10 and R7. The R10 is sold with either the RF-S 18 – 45 mm, f/4.5, or the 18 – 150 mm, f/3.5 lens. The 18 – 45 mm has 7 elements in 7 groups. Wide-open at f/4.5 indoors, the R10 consistently prompts for flash. The 18 – 150 lens has 17 elements in 13 groups, and a superior light admittance of f/3.5. I have the 18 – 45 mm f/4.5. The slow f/4.5 lens impedes bokeh effect and imposes unnecessary digital noise in images. Subjectively, the images are decent, but I have better lenses. I believe that the faster and longer 18 – 150 mm f/3.5 is a better choice, and in all honesty, I wish that I had that lens.
The RF-S lenses are manual zoom. The R10 is compatible with RF lenses, and with EF and EF-S lenses using an EF-EOS R Mount Adapter. The RF-S lens mount is plastic, rather than metal like the lens mount flange on the R10 body. It would be better if both mating surfaces were metal.
The zoom ring requires a firm twist to extend the lens barrel from the parked position detent to the shooting position. Since the R10 body does not support power zoom lenses which extend and retract with power on/off, the R10 provides an on-screen notice if you fail to manually extend the lens barrel.
The R10 sensor is a 24.2 megapixel, APS-C, Dual Pixel CMOS AF sensor measuring 22.3 x 14.9 mm. The R10 sensor has menu selectable self-cleaning. The R10 has powerful and outstanding Auto-Focus and Auto-Exposure functionality and offers comprehensive exposure control with more than a dozen exposure modes, six auto-focus modes and four metering modes. The Auto-Focus system is fantastic and represents the best Canon AF. With 651 auto-focus points and real-time AF and tracking for humans, animals and vehicles, it excels, and compares with the best AF functionality available. The R10 has Canon’s latest (2020) and most advanced DIGIC X image processor. Still formats range through compressed RAW (C-RAW - .CR3), and video resolution up to 4k UHD (60 fps) with crop.
The R10 has an OLED electronic viewfinder which I believe is essential. The rubber eye cup is comfortable and provides for good eye relief even when wearing eyeglasses. The 4 diopter adjustment slide beneath the eye cup is difficult to access while using the viewfinder. The R10 has a fully articulating 3” TFT, LCD touchscreen. A viewfinder proximity sensor disables the touchscreen when the viewfinder is used. The touchscreen is clear and responsive; however the touch targets are small and can be missed resulting in the i

I really like the EOS R10. It’s a great upgrade from my EOS M6 Mk II and it takes great photos and videos without a lot of work and it offers most of the advanced features I’d want to take things to the next level. The included kit lens is just okay and I’m hoping Canon comes out with some good affordable options soon, but overall if you’re looking for a good camera option that’s a step above smartphone photography this is one to look at for sure.
In the box you get the R10 body, a battery, charger, a strap, and an 18-45mm kit lens. My first impression handling the R10 was it was a lot lighter than I expected it to be. I really like the grip on it a lot and I never feel like I’m in any danger of dropping the camera when I’m handling it. The body is mostly plastic, but feels pretty solid, as do all the dials and buttons. The kit lens is also mostly plastic. The battery is an LP-E17, which is one Canon has had around for a while and doesn’t have the largest capacity, but it’s the same type my M6 Mk II used, so I have the benefit of already owning some extras which is nice.
The R10 uses a 24MP APS-C image sensor and does not have in-body image stabilization, though the included kit lens does include that. It technically uses a new RF-S lens mount, but is compatible with all of the RF lenses used on the R10’s more expensive siblings, though these lenses themselves are pretty spendy. At this point the only RF-S lenses available are the 18-45mm included with this package and the long 18-150mm kit lens available in a different package. I’m really hoping Canon expands on the RF-S line, especially coming from the M-mount lenses that were themselves pretty neglected by Canon.
The controls on the camera are pretty easy to use. There are 2 primary dials for adjusting functions in various modes and an array of buttons that in general I have no problems reaching. The camera has a touchscreen that flips out and a built-in electronic viewfinder. There’s also a pop-up flash. Along the side you’ll find ports for an external microphone, remote input, HDMI, and a USB-C port for data transfer and charging.
Getting into using the camera is super simple and there’s a lot of modes and options that I haven’t even begun to scratch the surface of yet. I consistently got great great results in photos with the auto mode and one thing I especially noticed coming from my M6 Mk II was how great the autofocus is in the R10. Once you’ve focused on your subject it stays locked in, even with fast moving subjects like my dogs. Photos look really great and sharp, even at higher ISO levels. I do wish Canon had included a better kit lens as the one that comes with this one here has a minimum F-stop of 4.5, which isn’t great even for a kit lens. Still, except in very low light I was in general pretty happy with its performance, but I’m hoping Canon comes out with some RF-S prime lenses pretty soon. Video quality is also excellent and you can do up to 4K 60FPS on the R10, though above 30FPS it does crop in on the sensor. The onboard microphone actually isn’t bad either. Battery life in my time with the camera was okay, but I’d definitely recommend having an extra battery or two if you’re going out for the day. The Canon camera app lets you use your phone as a remote, record location data, and view and pull photos from the camera. The app is okay, but it hasn’t changed a whole lot over the years and I wish it was a bit more seamless to use.
Overall I’m really happy with the R10. It feels like all the camera I could ever want as a casual photographer and I hope Canon continues to grow this line of products.

So like many others, I enjoy photography and being creative while capturing special moments with my wife and kids or when I see something that catches my eye and maybe it will capture others eyes as well. I think I am pretty good at picking a subject and shooting it well with this canon r10.
They used to call me the photographer of the family. And I appreciate the fact that they appreciated my work, amateur or not.
I used to shoot with my canon m6 mark ii. That camera has served me well and it was time to upgrade. I’m glad I did as the r10 is in my opinion substantially better minus the megapixel count. The r10 excels in well lit shooting environments. If you have either good natural light or good room lighting then Your pictures will come out beautifully. The sharpness is beautiful in my opinion for a non full size/frame sensor. Background blur is great as well with the stock lens. Good ole reliable canon processing. Now if lighting isn’t great you may see visible noise and minor blurring unfortunately. But that is typical of the kit lenses. And it’s understandable as usually the price point is fair and reasonable enough. Personally I don’t shoot at night so this isn’t necessarily an issue for me. But it may be for you if you want a stock all in one camera/Lens kit. I myself plan on purchasing the good ole nifty fifty 50mm f1.8 lens For better lower light situations and better background blur. Plus I want to make more videos with my family and maybe start a YouTube channel. As far as video goes, this camera will suit just about anyone needs for everyday videos or semi pro videos for content creators as well. Videos we took came out clear and smooth with no stutter or video noise both at 1080p @60 or even 4K @60(cropped). Only issue with video is the built in camera mics. While they work ok. The sound isn’t great but that’s understandable as most people will use an external mic like I did(see pics). Easy fix, so now my videos look great and sound great. I did not experience any over heating while shooting 4K and the battery lasted longer than expected. Tho I plan on buying an extra to be safe.
As far as build is concerned, it’s the same solid, study and light weight construction that you expect from canon and it’s mirror less line of cameras. Fits like a glove and isn’t cumbersome in the slightest. Almost every fine tune setting and options for pros and simple to use buttons and options for those just starting off. I’m in the middle I would say and I still have some to learn.
Adjustable screen is great for selfies or shooting video as you can have it face you to see is you are centered or not. Great feature! Touchscreen works as it should and is easy to navigate menus and such.
The EVF is built in which I appreciate. My m6 mark ii was not. The evf is clear, bright and sharp if you want to see how your photos came out up close.
Camera has a built in flash and it works well but unfortunately if you have a mic connected you can not use it. Again not a huge deal for videos but it might bother some.
With all that I just said, the simple advice I can give is that this camera is great. No real downfalls. So much upside for a novice photographer, a mother or father who wants you capture and cherish their children’s younger years or someone who wants to make a career out of photography and is just starting off and doesn’t have enough money to go straight to canons high end DSLR. This is really a great starting point. especially after you invest and try out new lenses. You can not go wrong with this model. I whole heartedly recommend this model for sure.

Like many people nowadays I use my cell phone camera most of the time due to convenience and good picture quality. However, I wanted a mirrorless camera option that would be lightweight. easy to use and provide excellent image quality. Canon has always meant quality and expertise to me and I feel this Canon EOS R10 has met my requirements nicely.
I took the camera with me on a weekend trip recently and I am very happy with the image quality of my pictures. The photos were sharp and the color accuracy was very good. Canon’s new APS-C sensor really does a stellar job capturing detail and the resolution quality left me with no complaints. Image stabilization was excellent as I noticed almost no issues with blurry pictures. The built-in flash and microphone met my requirements as a hobbyist, but those shooting at an advanced level might want external options to enhance lighting and audio further. Battery life has been great and more than adequate for my uses thus far.
The quality and feel of the camera are very sturdy and has a comfortable feel to the grip. Controls are well placed and seem very intuitive. In addition to the electronic viewfinder, the swiveling LCD screen operates very smoothly and is a good size for picture viewing. The R10 starts up quickly when powered on and one simply has to set the lens to shooting position to start capturing images or video.
It’s a really nice option to have a lightweight camera that shoots 4k video. The autofocus system includes Subject Detection and Subject Tracking for quicker shooting and stronger focus. I found the results of the video I shot to be excellent and it will be a convenient go to for capturing family events.
I’d strongly recommend the Canon EOS R10 to anyone looking for a quality camera with some really nice features. It’s lightweight which means you’ll actually be inclined to use it and the reliability should be very high based on my experience with Canon products. I like that the camera comes with most everything one needs to get started in the hobby of photography, including the camera strap and battery charger. The camera offers great flexibility since it is compatible with a full range of lens mounts so one can take advantage of backward compatibility even. The included kit lens does not offer wide-angle capability which would have been nice to have, but it’s good to know that there are lots of lens options out there to add additional capabilities. I’m very satisfied with the value of the Canon EOS R10 and I look forward to more outings to make use of this great camera.

The Canon EOS R10 is a great camera with a few quirks but those quirks do not take away this is a 5 star camera in every way. The market needed a budget/beginner mirrorless camera and Cannon stepped up big time. We used this camera as a backup at a wedding and the photos the Canon put out were almost the same as my Sony Mirrorless with a comparable lens. Now, the lens included with the Canon is decent, it leaves a lot on the table compared to most but the only people that matters to is artists that need top tier photos for use on sites for stock photos or high end photographers.
My wife and I already run a small sports and wedding photography business and we wanted a nice backup and a dedicated 4K video source other than GoPro cameras. The pictures themselves are great with this lens but have a tendency to be a little soft on the edges, making it noticeable when blown up large or trying to use it as a stock photo. The lens is the culprit, not the camera, I found this once I used an adapter and put my expensive lens on the camera and besides losing auto focus with the adapter, the camera showed what it can really do which is nothing short of great photos with crisp edges and beautiful colors.
The video is fantastic with the stock lens, perfect for family time, blogs and vlogs, and even sporting events, we tried it at a local ATV race and the video was great in 4K but in 1080P, we were pleasantly surprised with the FPS and the ability in post edit to slow it way down for epic slow motion shots for YouTube and other social media. Also, the ability to adjust your shutter speed when your ISO is on Auto is killer for an entry level camera, not the norm for most others out there at this price point. This is huge is sports and faster moving situations but does lack IBIS, so use of a gimbal is a huge positive with the R10.
The camera does use older tech batteries, this is a must to know. The battery life does go fast but batteries are cheap and plentiful because it is not the newer style. We already have cameras that used the same battery which gave us a huge positive thumbs up from us, did not have to spend more money to upgrade.
The best thing Canon did on the R10, they designed the battery to be changed out easily as is the memory card on a tripod base. The side door is still easily opened when the tripod base is on, that is a great design aspect.
Overall, we are very happy with the Canon R10, so far, this is making us look good with amazing photos on a budget.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new Canon R10 is a fantastic entry level camera based on their newest mirrorless technologies. I've been an avid photographer for many years, shooting various systems and sensor sizes. With this newest entry they've made a lightweight, accessible, quite capable camera at an affordable price range that I think most users will really love. Build quality is very good - it's a fair amount of plastic, but it feels good in the hand and durable, and this helps with the weight. Its overall size is nice too, not quite as bulky as a lot of its full frame equivalents. Button layout and access is pretty common and easy to work with, no real complaints there. They've kept these pretty consistent over all their line which is nice to see instead of experimenting or placing things in odd locations. Canon's menu system is great - it's super clear, especially being a user of other systems, it's not confusing and laid out well. Having a touch flip out screen that is fully articulating, is great and should be a must on most cameras these days. It's responsive and clear. The viewfinder is good, not mind blowing, but perfectly adequate for most people's needs. What is nice to see is the inclusion of some of the higher end model features here - the focus system and number of focus points, animal/human eye detection 10-bit 4:2:2 4k 60fps (at a crop, but still this is great). Historically you would see some of these things reserved for something higher up than an entry level, so it's great Canon is including these. Also surprising is the shot frame rate - this camera actually makes for a pretty decent sports or wildlife camera - even with a mechanical shutter (so you avoid any rolling shutter) - 15fps is pretty impressive. The kit lens it comes with is not outstanding but they never are, that's why it's a kit lens. For your average person just getting into a mirrorless it will work fine. There's a limited number of native APS-C lenses out for this camera (that will change soon over the next year I'm sure), but you can spend minimally and get an adapter and use any of Canon's vast lens lineup, so once you want to use higher quality lenses, you have a ton of options. Overall I'd say this is an outstanding bargain and great for those just getting into photography. It's pretty versatile, light, easy to use, and expandable as you start learning. I plan to teach the family how to use it and it will be our go to rig for events and fun.

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.\n\nBoy, 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. \n\nFor 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.\n\nWith RF 18-150 lens it weights barely over 1 kg.\n\nIt has wireless connectivity out of the box and works excellent with remote control software.\n\nAlso 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.\n\nI 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.\n\nWhat I don't like:\n- 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);\n- 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;\n- 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.

This is an exceptional buy for an APS-C camera body. It has a set of features that I think are ideally suited to my needs. I only use it for stills, never video.\nOne of the cleverest options added to any R camera body is its front-mounted AF/MF switch with the integrated depth of field button. Home run Canon! Makes using some of the RF lenses without AF/MF switches simpler to operate without having to go through menus to set AF or MF when needed. I wish my R100 had this switch. I use the RF 28mm f/2.8, 50mm f/1.8, and 85mm f/2 lenses with it in addition to using 30+ Canon EF, Sigma Art EF mount, Sigma RF mount DC DN zooms, Tokina opera FF and DX, Irix, Olympus OM, and Vivitar Series 1 OM mount adapted lenses. Even lenses like my vintage (July 1991 manufactured) Canon EF 20-35mm f/2.8L autofocuses correctly using either the standard or the control ring EF-EOS R adapters.\nI also look forward to adding the 4 Sigma RF mount DC DN f/1.4 primes for use with the R10 for additional shallow depth of field images since I've thoroughly enjoyed the 16mm, 30mm, and 56mm Sigma DC DN trio I already have for the Canon M50 and M50 Mark II bodies. Therefore, my headline thought about buying another R10 body. I've looked at the reviews of the R50 and R7 and I can't think of a reason I'd want either of those compared to the R10 - it just checks all the right boxes I would use for my enthusiast photography needs.

Reviewed on www.bhphotovideo.com·Scott
I have been transitioning from dSLRs to mirrorless. My previous kit included Canon 5D3, 7D2 and M50 bodies. The 7D2 was dedicated to wildlife, and the M50 was used as a light weight travel kit (with some EF-M lenses). \r\n \r\n \r\nThis R10 basically replaces both the 7D2 and M50 for me. The auto focus system works very well -- love the animal eye detect focus. The body works well with both my RF 100-400 and RF 800mm f/11 lenses for wildlife. The body is not much larger than the M50, so it works well when I want to travel light, too. The image quality is a little step up from both those previous APS-C bodies, as well. \r\n \r\n \r\nThe main downside right now is that Canon does not yet have replacements for all the EF-M lenses I used as part of my light weight travel kit. The RF-S 18-150 replaces one, but still missing is a replacement for the EF-M 11-22mm. I also had the EF-M 22mm f/2 pancake. For now, I am going to try the RF 16mm f/2.8 instead, which I currently use for wide angle on a Canon EOS R full frame (soon to be upgraded to a R6 M2).

I spent weeks reading, watching videos and just procrastinating... its hard to decide what camera you should buy because everyone has 100 reasons why you should/shouldnt buy a certain camera (like all material things in life) i was left full of doubt and almost decided not to pursue photography. Eventually something in me said "just do it or you will regret it later" so i did... I bought the canon EOS R10 with the 18-150 lense and let me tell ya, i have been blown away by this amazing little camera. Granted its the first one i have ever owned and used but after watching a handful of videos it is surprisingly easy to use. Its very well put together buttons seem like they are placed in the right spots And i feel like i have gotten some pretty decent photos already (maybe 2 weeks of use). Only thing is it does not come with a lense hood, i picked one up from amazon for around $10. Overall i would suggest this camera for basically all types of photography.

First, I'm a beginner using a digital SLR (was a Canon SLR devotee for decades), but just spent 2 weeks with it in the US SW. There is an early learning curve, but once certain buttons, settings and vocabulary were understood, its use was easy. Tried some settings, the info displayed is helpful and I did get some interesting photos. Plus, it was quickly obvious the ability to take multiple albeit slightly different angles of the same scene was fun. I think it will be interesting to simply try different settings to see the results. The camera was rugged enough to deal with a novice's handling and some sandy, dry conditions. It was light enough not be burdensome. I'm pleased that I bought this and am looking forward to using it in the Smoky Mountains during the fall. Although I do wish I had a stronger telephoto lens. Maybe my family will get my multitude of hints for Christmas.

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.

Great value. Takes great photos and it looks like it was completely unused. A few stuck pixels on the back screen, but pictures are perfect. And the stuck pixels are now only noticeable if you go looking for them. I'll certainly take that trade-off for buying refurbished at a substantial discount vs brand new. Can't speak to the kit lens as I purchased a faster lens in roughly the same focal range to pair with this camera. Still working through customization options and other features, but so far, I like what I've seen and I have no major complaints.\r\n\r\nI really appreciate how light the mirrorless bodies and lenses are together. I used to have a 77D and EF lenses - what a difference in weight!

I got one of these after using the same old Canon DSLR for about 14 years. I\u2019m so happy with this camera, and it\u2019s convinced me that gear makes a difference. The game-changers for me are previewing the exposure of the image through the viewfinder, the autofocus (especially animal and eye detection), and the depth-of-field display simulation setting (you can see the depth of field constantly instead of having to hold down a button or review each image after taking it). The kit lens is lightweight and practical. The battery life is pretty great when taking photos, but it will run out quickly if you record long videos. No issues with the refurbished model\u2014it looks and works like new.

Excellent APS-C mirrorless camera for advanced photographers. I wanted a small lightweight fun camera for handheld shooting. I paired this body up with the RF 28mm f/2.8 (45mm after 1.6 crop factor) as an alternate to my full-frame 50mm camera. The R50 is too stripped down (also made in China) and the R7 had more than I needed. I love that the R10 has a mechanical shutter. Menu's and features are similar to other Canon camera's I've owned. Button placement is intuitive. I love the prior generation 24 MP sensor. Pixel density isn't excessive. This is a good camera that will likely keep everyone happy from growing beginners to pro Canon vets like myself. Highly recommended.

I bought this camera for my grandbaby as she loves to go with me on my shoots. and we both loved and was very surprised of the quality of picture we got out of it. I actually was comparing it to my R5 that I was shooting with, and I could not tell a difference in quality. It is a little small for my hands but perfect for hers. With large lens it is a little tight for me but smaller lens it feels pretty good for me. I will certainly recommend this camera for anyone that want to test the mirrorless world. There was a guy shooting with a Sony Alpha A6400 and he loved the colors that was coming out of this camera more even thou his picture were very clear as well.

Reviewed on www.walmart.com·A Dupre
And excellent budget mirrorless camera, especially if you can catch one on deep discount during one of Canon's refurbished sales. With excellent ergonomics (compared to the R100 or R50) and reasonable compactness, especially with the bundled lens, this camera can fit in larger pockets or medium to largish purses. If you're coming from a smartphone or older DSLR/mirrorless, the autofocus will seem magical with the way it can lock onto humans, birds, or general vehicles. Excellent quality video as well, up to 4K60fps, and no artificial limits on duration. Do note though that video options while in stills/photography mode are extremely limited, and the custom C1 & C2 dial settings can only be assigned to photo mode, not video: this means quickly switching between photo and (fully customized) video is not possible on the R10, which is extremely disappointing considering how easy it is on the R7.\r\n\r\nWhile the bundled RF-S18-45mm lens is serviceable and worth it if the price of this bundle isn't much higher than that of body-only, I would highly recommend considering the RF-S 18-150mm bundle instead, as that lens is superior optically and much more versatile.

Reviewed on www.walmart.com·TGG
At the time I purchased, the R10 with RF-S 18-45mm kit was on sale for a lower price than body only which is why I bought it. I would otherwise not recommend the kit lens if you have other options as the 18-45mm is chintzy, dim, and really not wide enough for a standard zoom. If you stop down, the center sharpens up nicely, but the corners don't really and it is a very limiting lens. That said, the R10 is fantastic. Plastic fantastic, but still fantastic. It doesn't feel premium in any way, but it still feels like it will hold up to regular use. It's very compact and light, but quite capable with great autofocus and a comfortable hand grip and ergonomics with all the buttons and dials and joysticks and burst mode you expect from a more expensive camera. Image quality is really nice, too. My biggest wishes are for weather sealing so I could use it comfortably year-round in the Pacific Northwest, though Canon frustratingly doesn't really offer any compact weather-sealed lenses, for better battery life, and a quieter shutter. The mechanical shutter seriously is so loud and unpleasant, and the e-shutter is not very usable due to slow readout speed.

Like a previous reviewer I was confused about the lens shooting position message. I was coming from a Sony A6000 where the stock lens would just boot up and be ready to shoot. On this lens, you have to turn the lens until it reaches the 18mm position and then it's ready to shoot. Took me one google search to figure it out, so I have no clue why he complained about trying to figure it out for two hours. Anyway, I hope this helps out some other beginners!

[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.
