Canon EOS R R100 Black 2023
At just 308g, it’s the smallest and lightest Canon EOS R series body, combining a 24.1MP APS-C sensor with a DIGIC 8 processor for cropped 4K at 24fps and 6.5fps burst shooting. The kit’s RF-S 18-45mm and RF-S 55-210mm lenses cover wide to telephoto reach, aided by Creative Assist modes that streamline exposure and color effects for beginners. Best for first-time mirrorless buyers and travel vloggers seeking a portable, dual-lens RF system with Eye AF and 4K video without heavy bulk.
