Canon EOS R100

User comments reveal a sharp divide. Budget-conscious beginners praise the R100: 'definitely a great camera, especially if you're a beginner or on a budget' and 'great for 90% of people.' Users who paid $399-499 with kit lens generally feel satisfied for basic photography needs. Several users specifically chose it over the R50 ($699) and invested the savings in a better lens (RF 50mm 1.8). However, experienced users are harshly critical: 'In 2016 this would have been a compelling low-end budget option,' 'sounds like Canon has successfully travelled back to 2010.' The Canon M50 Mark II is repeatedly called a better investment despite having a 'dead lens mount.' A significant frustration is the lack of USB charging: 'to have a USB port and not bother to have the ability to charge the battery in 2023 is a massive oversight.' Users who treat it purely as a stills camera find it adequate; those expecting modern video features are disappointed. The phone comparison debate is polarizing—some users despise it ('I despise the idea that anyone tries to compare this to a phone'), while others acknowledge the camera only marginally outperforms flagship smartphones. The R50 is frequently recommended as the better spend if budget allows.
