Superior Image Quality Anywhere, Anytime

The Canon EOS R100 delivers clear and sharp images with beautifully resolved details through its APS-C size CMOS sensor. This is Canon’s smallest, lightest EOS R series camera, weighing around the same as 330ml can drink, it weights approximately 356g (1). This makes the EOS R100 easy to slip into your everyday bag and carry it around, ready to capture fleeting moments and cherished memories.

With Bluetooth and WI-FI connection, you can share your pictures to social media easily through the Canon Camera Connect app via your smartphone.

Elevate Your Shooting Experience

The EOS R100 is designed with a viewfinder and generous grip, these features will ease your transition to start shooting like a professional photographer. The clear, HD built-in electronic viewfinder (EVF) provides better visibility outdoors under strong sunlight, while the rubberised texture grip allows a firmer, more stable hold on the camera, helping you to capture steady photographs.

Get Great Shots with Ease

The EOS R100 gives you fast, highly accurate auto-focusing, supported by Eye and Face Detection. It detects and follows subjects over a wide area of the image, making it easier to capture amazingly sharp pictures of people and objects even if they fidget or move across the frame. Pair with a compatible lens, including your kit lens, you can also enjoy image stabilisation, enabling you to snap sharper handheld photos even in dim lighting conditions. A convenient built-in flash helps you to get well-lit shots in darker scenes or backlight, with flash power control options that you can utilise for creativity.

Exploring Video Creation

Want to create videos without shooting video? Wit the EOS R100, you can get started without worrying about story concepts or editing.

The Hybrid Auto mode turns your still photos and video snippets into a digest movie of the day’s activities while the 4K Timelapse Video mode automatically takes shots of a scene at predetermined intervals and stitches them into a high-resolution video, all with pristine image quality and details.  

For more hands-on video content creation, features like 4K video shooting and slow-motion movies with 120p high frame rate recording are available. With Eye Detection AF and Movie Digital IS function in movie mode, you can keep people in focus and ensure stable footage even if you are shooting while walking. 

Customise Your Style

The EOS R100 offers multiple ways to create images regardless of your skillset when it comes to photography or your familiarity with manual controls and technical photography terms. Besides the typical DSLR and mirrorless camera controls, there is the Creative Assist mode, which lets you change settings using layman terms, such as “Background blur”, “Brightness”, and “Saturation”.

Alternatively, you could also use the Scene modes and Scene Intelligent Auto, where the camera chooses the best settings for your scene or ideal outcome. Creative filters under the in-camera presets is yet another option that allows you to change the look and finish of your images to express your individual style.

A Vast Selection of Lenses to Create With

The imaging possibilities are endless with a mirrorless camera – change your lenses and watch your perspective transform along with it! The EOS R100 is directly compatible with over 30 RF and RF-S lenses in the ever-growing RF lens line-up, which let you go wider, closer, reach further, or create beautiful, dreamy bokeh effects.  It can also be paired with over 80 EF lenses via the EF-EOS R Mount Adapter.

The post Canon announced EOS R100 – Enter the World of Mirrorless appeared first on TGH Photography and Travel Portal/Blog.

At the Canon Singapore media launch event, the media had the opportunity to view and try out the two latest Canon EOS R APS-C cameras. Personally, the EOS R7 caught my attention, not just in terms of its capabilities, aesthetics and ergonomics, as well as the new potential and opportunities for photographers who are into sports and wildlife photography. As a former Canon EOS 300D, 30D and 70D owner/user as well as having reviewed EOS 7D Mark II, I am familiar and experienced with what this EOS R7 (successor to the well received and capable EOS 7D Mark II) can offer with this setup. The EOS R10 would be the entry level starter camera for photographers who are upgrading from their compact cameras or smartphones.

The Canon EOS R7 is designed for more experienced users who require a faster camera to capture dynamic subjects such as sports and wildlife. It’s a high-performance 32.5-megapixel APS-C mirrorless camera, featuring In-Body Image Stabilization (In-Body IS), weather-sealing, and dual SD card slots. 

As for the Canon EOS R10, it’s a 24.2-megapixel APS-C mirrorless camera, featuring a built-in flash and a smaller form factor, is designed for more standard everyday needs. 

There are two RF-S lenses that are launched along aside with the EOS R7 and EOS R10, they are the RF-S18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM and RF-S18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM, two new lenses built to fully optimise the mobility advantages of the new APS-C cameras. 

“EOS R7 and EOS R10 marks a significant evolution of the EOS R system. With the addition of these APS-C mirrorless cameras to the EOS R system, there are many opportunities in Singapore for them to shine. The APS-C segment is favoured by many photographers for the smaller form factor, affordability, and advantages such as increased reach for genres like sports and wildlife. With otters and a plethora of birds in Singapore to photograph, these APS-C cameras will provide budding photographers with an affordable step into our mirrorless R system. In addition to the new native RF-S lenses, the wide range of compatible EF and EF-S lenses via mount adapter also means an enlarged ecosystem of lenses to explore and express your photographic vision.” said Edwin Teoh, Head of Marketing, Singapore Operations, Canon Singapore. 

Inheriting the AF technology of the EOS R3

The EOS R7 and EOS R10 are supported by the powerful DIGIC X image processing engine, they are the first to inherit the new autofocusing (AF) technology that debuted on the EOS R3. This technology harnesses the deep learning-based subject detection capabilities of the EOS iTR AF X system – tracking subjects more tenaciously across the entire image area, regardless of the AF area mode. This provides highly responsive and reliable autofocusing, even in dynamic scenes. 

High-speed Continuous Shooting; RAW burst mode 

Both the EOS R7 and EOS R10 are capable of up to 15 fps high-speed continuous shooting in mechanical and electronic first-curtain shutter modes (with AF/AE tracking)—the fastest speed not just among all APS-C EOS cameras, but also in the EOS R series (1). This is nearly equivalent to the EOS-1D X Mark III, Canon’s flagship DSLR, which shoots up to approx. 16 fps with the optical viewfinder. 

In electronic shutter mode, the EOS R7 is capable of shooting 32.5-megapixel images at up to approximately 30 fps continuous shooting, whereas the EOS R10 shoots 24.2-megapixel images at up to approximately 23 fps (2). 

Both cameras feature a RAW burst mode, which shoots full-resolution RAW images at up to 30 fps. The mode supports pre-shooting, which starts recording the scene up to 0.5 second before the shutter is released, aiding the capture of unexpected opportunities. 

Newly Developed APS-C CMOS sensors and Digic X

The EOS R7 and EOS R10 both utilise newly developed APS-C CMOS image sensors that are 32.5 and 24.2 megapixels respectively. Powered by the Digic X image processing engine, they combine together to produce image quality and visual resolution beyond what the megapixel count suggests.

The visual resolution of the EOS R7 surpasses that of the EOS 90D and the EOS M6 Mark II despite having the same megapixel resolution, whereas that of the EOS R10 is equivalent to the same two cameras. Silky hair, fabric textures, and other fine details can be captured with precision and sharpness. 

Image Stabilisation

The EOS R7 is the first APS-C EOS camera to feature the sensor-shift type 5-axis In-Body IS (Image Stabilizer) mechanism, which can achieve up to 8 stops’ equivalent image stabilisation (3) during video and still image shooting. Both the EOS R7 and EOS R10 feature Movie Digital IS, which conducts 5-axis image stabilisation for steadier videos even with a lens that has no Optical Image Stabilizer (Optical IS). 

Superior Video Quality

Content producers would be keen and interested on video quality. The EOS R7 can be use 7K oversampling to record high-quality 4K UHD video at up to 30p in the new 4K UHD Fine mode. Un-cropped 4K 60p recording is possible in 4K UHD Standard mode.

They are also the first APS-C EOS photography camera to support the Canon Log 3 gamma, that is good for colour grading and HDR video production.

As for the EOS R10, it’s capable of high-quality 4K UHD Fine 30p video achieved by 6K oversampling. Both cameras are capable of 4K HDR PQ video recording.

Built-in Telephoto Effect: Longer reach with the Full Camera resolution

APS-C sensor cameras have a strength, that is their inherent telephoto effect, that is just like having a built-in extender. For photographers who are into wildlife, sports and other subjects that require longer focal lengths, this will greatly benefit them.

The field of view is automatically “zoomed in” by about 1.6 times the focal length indicated on the lens. On the other hand, unlike using the 1.6x crop mode on full-frame EOS R cameras, recording uses the full resolution of the image sensor. 

When shooting video on the EOS R7, the inherent 1.6x APS-C crop can be combined with the 4K UHD crop mode for an even stronger telephoto effect of around 1.8 times that of the focal length. 

Better Portability and Affordability

APS-C image sensors are roughly 40% the size of 35mm full-frame image sensors, allowing the camera and lens systems built around them to be smaller, lighter, more portable, and easier to handle. This also translates to better affordability. 

By optimising material use and structural design, Canon has further reduced the weight of the cameras compared to their DSLR equivalents. The improvement in handling ease is multiplied when combined with one of the new RF-S kit lenses, which reduces total weight by as much as 24%. 

New Multi-Function Shoe for Improved Functionality 

Like the EOS R3, instead of the conventional hotshoe, both the EOS R7 and EOS R10 are equipped with a new Multi-Function Shoe. This supports high-speed communications and audio input, expanding the range of supported accessories beyond Speedlites. For protection against dust and moisture, the Multi-Function Shoe should be covered with the bundled Multi-Function Shoe Cover ER-SC2 (available for purchase separately). 

Cross-compatibility with RF and EF/EF-S lenses 

Besides the RF-S lenses which were developed specifically for APS-C EOS R cameras, the EOS R7 and EOS R10 can also directly take RF lenses designed for full-frame cameras. This also applies for EF and EF-S lenses via the EF-EOS R mount adapters. When a lens designed for full-frame cameras is attached, the 1.6x telephoto effect will automatically be applied. The cameras are not compatible with EF-M lenses. 

New Features to Enhance Creative Expression 

The EOS R7 and EOS R10 contain some new features and enhancements, which will streamline workflows and expand creative expression. These include a new Panorama Shot SCN mode and an improved Panning SCN mode with better image stabilisation to increase the chances of successful panning shots. In addition, a new in-camera Depth Compositing mode automatically merges focus bracketed images into an image that is clearly in focus from front to back. The EOS R7 also features a new auto-level function that automatically detects and rotates the image sensor to correct tilted images in still images and video, saving users the time and effort required to ensure a camera is level. 

Both cameras also have improved auto white balance accuracy, due to a new auto white balance algorithm developed using deep learning technology. 

Canon’s first RF-S lenses: RF-S18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM and RF-S18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM 

Debuting alongside the EOS R7 and EOS R10, the RF-S18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM and RF-S18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM are kit lenses intended as the first lens for new users of the EOS R system. With reduced size and weight due to the smaller APS-C sensor image circle, they are almost the same length and weight as their pocketable EF-M mount equivalents – while offering the benefits of the larger RF mount. 

The RF-S18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM is a standard zoom lens with a focal length range of 29-72mm in full-frame equivalent terms, offering a wide-angle to medium telephoto range suitable for capturing everyday moments. It is approximately 44.3mm long and weighs approximately 130g, similar to the EF-M15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM. 

Meanwhile, the RF-S18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM is a superzoom lens that covers a larger focal length range of 29-240mm in full-frame equivalent terms. A versatile all-purpose lens for travel, the extra reach makes it suitable for capturing distant scenery, casual sports and wildlife photography. in addition to daily life. It weighs only around 310g and is 84.5mm long, similar to the EF-M18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM. 

Besides EOS R APS-C cameras, the RF-S lenses can also be mounted directly onto full-frame EOS R system cameras, which will automatically enable the 1.6x crop mode.
