Hi Toby, I haven't watched your videos for some time and I'd forgotten how superb your videos are. Very balanced, unbiased and you cover basically everything one would want to know. Great job.
Hi bro, Iam planning to buy an Canon R 10. I was buying for my personal usage, need to take cinematic portraits photo for my baby and travel usage so completely for my personal usage. I saw the Canon R10 with kit lens 18-150mm combo box. So please suggest this combo is suitable for me or i want to buy canon RF 50mm lens for cinematic portraits as you shown in this video. Iam confusing for choosing the lens, please suggest me the best lens for my usage brother?
I went from a T3, to a 7D Mark II, and now the R10. My three Canon EF lenses (50mm, 70-200mm, 400mm) plus my AWESOME new Tokina ATX-i f2.8 100mm FF macro lens can be used with my Canon EF-EOS R adapter ($129). You didn't mention the adapter. My photographic interests were really peaked when I often noticed an interesting bird on a neighborhood utility line - turned out to be an American Kestrel- that's when one's lenses get longer and longer like Pinocchio's nose, and one's need for speed also increases, while your bank account decreases as you explore Florida's Atlantic Birding Trail. Of course it's more than just photography at that point, it's another hobby known as "Birding". Limitations of R10 - no way for D of F preview unless you touch the tiny button in front of the camera - awkward. Cannot use flash with focus bracketing/stacking, and the focus bracketing and stacking can only be done in Auto Focus. For a fellow who wants to shoot down-to-earth macro, but has old-man aches and pains, the articulating screen is a blessing, as is the Gatling gun speed of the shutter. YES, the R10 is a great "inexpensive" mirrorless camera!
A little late to the party, but there is a setting that allows you to select what locks and doesn’t lock with the lock button. You can turn everything off if you want to. I have mine set to lock the touch screen, which isn’t in by default, it’s very nice if you inadvertently touch the screen and mess up settings frequently!
The Canon R7 with the RF 100-500mm lens has been an outstanding combo for wildlife. But I agree about the lack of native lens choices on Canon's mirrorless crop sensor front...
Hello. I have the R10 and love it. It could not have been more targeted for my needs. I also have an 80D. I use the lock button/switch on both of them. I have programmed it to lock only the tactile to prevent me to accidentally change settings touching my screen. The good thing is: even with the tactile locked, i still can use the tactile in the menu and Q menu. Very useful to me.
Agreed. I burnt out 2 rebels over the years. Graduated to semi-pro. Received the R10 couple months back due to torn rotator cuff. Picked up the 800mm for a grand. Works wonderful...very sharp once you master it. A Great camera.
This is the only video I have seen that actually physically shows the buffer and how long it takes to clear and keep firing. It's this point (around 4:45 onwards) that sealed it for me. I've been loving my M50 for my sons football/soccer matches and just general street and landscape but this fps and buffer clearing in a package not much bigger than the M50 is unreal. Thank you !
I love this camera it’s the first camera that I bought and can’t wait to go out and shoot more videos, so reliable and light weight, hope canon brings more RF-s lenses soon so I can vlog without only my face on the frame
Just bought my new canon r10 and stumbled across your video. Thanks for the helpful analysis. I thought however that with an adapter you can also use other canon lenses with a different mount system (although not an M mount system). Thanks again
Since this was recorded, Canon came out with the pancake RF 16mm f/2.8 and RF 28mm f/2.8. They are equivalent to roughly 25mm and 45mm primes on full frame, which are pretty useful focal lengths. The EF-S system only had the 24mm f/2.8 prime, which was great, but there was nothing wider, even from third parties, as far as I know. So, R10 prime lens lovers have six compact lenses to choose from: the EF-S 24mm, EF 40mm and EF 50mm on an adapter and the RF16mm, RF 28mm and RF 50mm native lenses. That is way more choice than the crop sensor Rebels. Good video.
Well, now there is also a RF-S 10-18mm 6.3 IS STM and a RF-S55-210 7.1 IS STM. On the EF-S you had Tokina with various APSC f2.8 lenses like the 11-16mm and 11-20mm.
Hello from Croatia! I just watched this video and I'm grateful for it! I'm using Canon 60D right now, and I wish to upgrade it, in my budget - and it seams R10 is quite OK. I want to do some professional shootings too, but this is afordable for me now. Great video, thanks!
It is on top of my list to replace my M5 with the added bonus that I get to use my RF lenses with it. BUT, I will miss my M lenses, particularly the 32mm f/1.4 and 11-22mm, due to their handy size, perfect for this old guy to take hiking (As you know, nearly every hike in the Seattle area involves heading up the side of a mountain.).
Best over lense for this camera in my opinion is the canon ef-s 18-135 Nano usm. I use an adapter but don’t have to account for the crop factor. Very good all rounder. Also this camera is limited in lenses but with the adapter you still have a large quantity of very quality lens in canons back catalogue.
One workaround for monitoring audio while recording video is to use the DJI remote mics. The DJI remote mic receiver sits in the hot shoe, with one of its outputs plugging directly into the mic input slot on the camera, and the other output from the receiver plugs directly into your headphones for monitoring.
I bought an R10 for travel as my R5 kit can be too heavy and bulky. I use it with RF 16mm, 24-105 (f7.1) and 100-400. Considering the price it is fantastic. It’s a mini R5 and the 400 becomes a 640 which is good for wildlife. I agree with all your points and drawbacks but the overall experience is very good in my opinion. Especially when I can carry the whole kit in a small bag and not a backpack.
@@photorectoby I also bought an R10 just for travel, because my R5 and 6DM2 just get too heavy to carry around. I use an RFS 18-150, RF100-500 and an EFS 10-18 with an adapter.
Been using my R10 since May 2023 with the 18-150, did some motorsports, concerts with the kit lens and got great feedback. Added an EF lens (2nd Gen USM) to my collection with the adapter and it shoots like a charm on those low F stops. You may have the smalles body around but definitely not the worst camera. And as said, come an upgrade to FF there is plenty to choose from native and through EF with an adapter.
Hi Toby, You always provide a wealth of great information. Thank you! Your instruction manual in reference to LightRoom. Is it up to date for 2024? I am interested in making the purchase. I see you own a Sony ;). But, I am sure you own many other brands of cameras as well.
Your recollections of your Rebel XT remind me of my Rebel XTi, which never died and I still have. I'm now using a T7i, another competent entry level camera (although the build quality of the XTi was always better than the T7i; Canon found a way to save money in build quality entry level cameras, while adding features). But probably my next step will be a Canon mirrorless in full frame. I'm just waiting for the lens options to become clearer, especially as regards third party lens support on Canon mirrorless bodies. But the R10 is tempting. Hanging out in the entry level world isn't much of a compromise for most of what I do (lots of macro).
Totally agree with the older entry level still doing a fine job in many areas of photography. I too am curious to see if/when Canon let's in more 3rd party lenses. Hope they make the decision that's best for the customer.
Same. My primary is an R6 but most of my lenses are adapted EF glass. The 24-105/4 RF is the only lens I have that's RF only. I carry an old SL1 as a backup. Usually it wears an 18-300 megazoom, but it can handle my 100-400 and 70-200 whites, along with a couple primes. It's definitely a huge step back in terms of capability, but if my R6 took a dump on a trip (let's hope not) at least I wouldn't be completely screwed. And on vacation, my G7X3 dive camera doubles as my tiny walkaround.
Can you review r10 with some RF lenses (35mm / 28-70mm f2/ 100-400 mm etc.). Would like to know how the performance of r10 will be using rf lenses since there are not many options of rfs lenses
As someone who has not really gone into photography as a hobby but wants a step up from my iPhone, this looks to be a good option, perhaps I am in the target market for this. The kit lens now seems to be 18-45. I had a Canon Eos1000? many years ago and have always liked the ergonomics so am looking at their products. I have looked at bridge cameras and the R50 but this R10 seems to be a worthwhile step up from both and if I do get the photography bug it will allow me some growth. Thanks for a good real world review.
I own a Canon R10 and I think it is an excellent camera. There are just two lenses for this camera, but I bought my R 10 with an adapter included, and I can use all the lenses I have to my Canon 760D. I can even use my Tamron 18-400 mm with surprisingly good results.
That's excellent to hear that even 3rd party lenses like the Tamron 18-400 are working well. Though I shouldn't be surprised most lenses I have tested with the adapter have worked well.
Great review Toby! You hit the nail on the head with this one. I'm a Sony shooter too. A6600 and A7RV. I'd honestly be happy to be done with FF, but my A6600 is long of tooth and we've heard nothing from Sony about a replacement. Meanwhile, Fuji and Canon have produced some compelling options, BUT THE LENSES! I have a wonderful selection of APS-C lenses for my Sony, and there are a few more I'd like to add, but currently I'm using my 7RV as my crop sensor camera, probably than more than in FF mode. I'd say, I'll be patient, and wait for Canon to fill in the APS-C line up, but without 3rd party support, it's going to be a loooong time before that happens. I'm guessing Canon doesn't have a 23mm F1.4 in their immediate plans, LOL. So I guess I'm just stuck with waiting for Sony to "get it done".
Thanks James - it is a bit frustrating with how quiet Sony has been on the APS-C front but as I said to Paolo above I have been on conference calls with Sony execs and when pushed about new aps-c cameras they are very tight lipped but will say - would we be releasing so many lenses if we didn't think aps-c has a future - I am really hoping they adopt a new design for aps-c when they do release.
Do you think RF-S mount cameras would suffer in image quality when using EF canon and 3rd party lenses via adapter? Or using RF lenses? I was getting the R10 as my first camera, but im now getting second thoughts about that, after hearing that RF-S mount cameras would indeed suffer in image quality when using other than the two RF-S lenses.
Hi, I am more tempted by the r7, for the stabilization mainly, but I want to wait and see the rumored upcoming sony aps-c, which would make more sense to me, let's hope they include some of the fun features these new canon camera have....

Toby, I'm getting into macro photography, and my Canon 7D Mk II with flash is too heavy, though it has 10 fps drive mode, and my Canon T-3, though lighter, has only 3 fps. So, I'm looking for a lighter Canon (which I could use with my EF mounted Tokina ATX-i 100mm f2.8 FF macro lens, and Godox TT600 flash), especially with an articulated screen - because with my old-age spinal and hip pain prevent me from getting down and dirty tring to look through the Live View image 0o flowers and insects. HOWEVER - I've heard/read that the R10 articulating screen is blurry and not well lit - would you comment about your experience with the screen please? Many thanks!
I have a Canon 70D and will be moving into Sony full frame later this year. Unless you definitely just wanted the camera and the kitv lens and weren't looking to take your photography beyond that lens, then i wouldn't buy into a crop sensor that doesn't have a wide selection of good native lenses. For my 70D, the amount of native glass was ok (and that was when Tamron and Sony made canon compatible glass), but when there was not a great option you turned to full frame, and that didn't always work out great. I bought a Tamron 70-200, great lens and if you need that 320 equivalent long end for wildlife, but if you wanted to use it more like a short telephoto, well then it starts at 112mm, which is just to long for a lot if what i want to do with it, so i barely use it these days.
How does ISO compare R10 vs R7, which is better than R10 because it has less 24Mpx? I came up with the idea of a second body for my gold RP that doesn't have animal tracking, but I like how compact it is. Or it's better to invest in R6 :D
I do not see only two lenses in the rf mounts for apsc an issue The t10 is an entry level camera. If someone purchases that camera and decides to get in photography more seriously later of course they may want more choices of lens Remember the apsc mount accepts full frame lenses and most serious photographers also move up to full frame I see no issues with on two lenses dedicated to this format
Just about to switch up from a canon 80D to the Canon R10. Main reason is the 80D struggles with higher iso and i like the AF eye tracking etc. I miss so many BIF's due to missing the focus point on it. Only downside of the video is stupid square space ads, once at the start ok but once the second one started i quit.
Thanks for the video. I have the R7 and got it with that 18-150 kit lens and I found it to be great for a walk around lens. I also have the 100-400 and for the money that is the best lens in the RF system. I use it on my R7 and R5 with amazing results. I do hope the RF-S lens line does expand because this R10 seems like a nice little camera and the R7 is my now favorite APS-C camera. Cheers.
I own a T7i (800D) and was thinking about going to mirrorless. This R10 fills every mark for what i want: mirrorless with intelligent AF, 2 control dials plus the joystick. I do not shoot video. I would use my existing EF-S lenses (18-135 nano, 55-250 stm and sigma 30 art.) Thanks for your clear opinion on this camera.
@@adilcoelho I didn´t, As i live in argentina an R10 might get a little pricier than the rest of the world. Customs add a liiitle 50% tax... So I have to save more, and then figure out how to sell my T7i. There´s no KEH or MPB or similar here.
And why did you not mention that it has in-camera focus-stacking (not simply focus-bracketing)? Macro shooters will love Canon R10's Focus Stacking feature. In this mode, R10 automatically composites multiple shots taken at different focal positions using focus bracketing to create a single image with maximum depth of field.
im a bit confused i hope you can explain to me. aps-c got a crop factor on canon cameras of 1.6 but i heard that when you get the canon r10 4k 60 fps. there is a crop factor . is when i use the 4k 24fps has zero crop factor, or the 4k 60fps has an additional crop factor to the basic 1.6?
They sometimes do a further crop when doing 4k 60 because the camera cannot process all the pixels at that speed. So they reduce the surface area of the sensor for that mode, so it has less pixels and able to process it at 60 fps.
Way out of date about RF and RF-S lenses! Plenty available now. RF 18-150mm and RF 100-400mm seems like a good combination. Whether that can replace my Sony RX10 iv remains to be seen. Looks a bit small, may not feel right but if the output is significantly better, that one might used to that. Bit of duct tape over that lock button?
Although I have a Sony A7IV it good to see Canon producing some good not crippled cameras, but come on, where are the affordable lenses. Several years ago I looked for a smaller system for travel etc, and it had to be fun to use. So I tried the Fujifilm system. Never looked back. Wonderful lens selection, great image quality and ,silly as this may sound, they make me feel good.
I sincerely doubt any of the rebel series had a shutter release faster than 3.5 fps, having own one myself. I believe the R10 can go up to 15fps. It's more like the XXD series mirrorless equivalent. rebels were XXXD.
Ive been using a Sony A6000 for a few years doing wildlife. Unfortunately, ive never been able to afford Sony's limited choice of long focal lenses. So it forced me to use vintage manual lenses. Canon on the other hand has a plethora of long focal primes and its the sole reason ive been looking to switch. To be honest, I wish I could stick with Sony. Their cameras are very good and if/when i actually do get to use autofocus, i know Sony really leads the way. End of the day, I just say, if youre a good enough photographer, you can make a great photo with anything providing you have the right tool (lens) for the job!
If purely crop sensor then Fuji hits the mark. Good selection and third party glass designed for the crop sensor plus different models to suit your needs and only one drawback is the raw conversion where you need to decide how this affects your work flow.
Except their AF is shite. And a camera is measured by its AF. A missed shot is a missed opportunity and a missed moment. Canon has the best AF on the market currently, hands down. Their lens selection is awful but luckily you can adapt many great EF and EF-S lenses
Hey. Looking to buy a R10 for my wife, so i have a quick question.. Are there any drawbacks of using RF lenses on this camera? I want to buy a RF 50mm F1.8... From the specs i see that both RF and RF-S are compatible, right? Thx.
The only drawback would be that you'd get a cropping factor of 1.6x, because of the tiny sensor ... So the 50mm would effectively become an 80mm. This is great if you want the reach of 80mm, but not so great if you want a mid-range 50mm. A good option would be to opt for the 35mm f1.8 STM. a really good budget lens with a f1.8 aperture. With the crop factor, this would be a 56mm. (500$) You're correct in saying both RF and RS-s are compatible with the R10, it's just that the RF-S lenses are specifically made for crop sensor (small sensor) cameras. They're usually on the cheaper end of the market too. The RF lenses will work on any Canon R camera and will generally command a higher price. Any RF lens that has an L in the model name is classed as a pro lens, with a wide/fast aperture and is the most expensive. However, the best value L lens is the CANON RF 24-105MM F4L IS USM. It's L series optics, pretty good zoom reach and only around 1300$.
I am still using my Canon Sl1. I was considering the R10 until Canon started threatening third-party lens makers. while over the last year, they have started to marginally open the gates, I cannot afford Canon's lenses, so I have been holding off upgrading. Meanwhile my iPhone 13 Pro will move to the new iPhone 16 with AI features in the next six months.
I’am sure it is a good camera, to small a body for me though and I think the autofocus is unreliable. At least the one I tried. Not up to par with my old 1dx mk1. You can have all the hi tech in the world but the thing that matters to me is not eye tracking och face detection, what is important is knowing that the object I point at gets in focus as fast as possible so I can get the shot.
I don't understand why reviewers always say there is a lack of lenses. There are numerous EF-S lenses that work just fine with the R10 with the basic $100 adapter. I've used my EF-S 10-18, EF-S 18-135 and my EF-S 55-250 with no problem at all. I've also used an RF100-400 which equates to a 160-640. Needless to say, all the full frame EF lenses would work just fine as well.
Along with all the native RF lenses. Seriously, I have heard whining about the adapter adding weight and "bulk". These adapters weight next to nothing and I don't even notice it when mounted. The bonus is, with everyone switching to mirrorless and Canon no longer making EF lenses, very good lenses can be had on the used market for a fraction of their original price. It's actually a tremendous opportunity.
@@alansach8437I picked up the one that comes with RF-S 18-45 f/4.5-6.3 IS STM Lens, could you recommend what I should do from there as far as what my next lens should be ?
Thx for the feed back ‘ I have a Canon R10 please be advise that 100-400 mm is good lens for R10 and also which accessories are the capable for R10 ‘ I really appreciated sir if you can reply to me ..Thanks God Bless
Actually, there are three. You forgot the 55-210. But still, with the Sigma trios of 1.4 people are better off looking elsewhere. This advice is coming from an owner of the R7.
The other reason there are no other lenses is also because Canon sued third party manufacturers and is expected to keep it that way for a decade or more.
My guess for the future of Canon/ the whole industry: there'll be bodies of different systems as 4/3,apsc ,FF but FF lenses only. And that's all right.
No the problem with Nikon is they have not released any budget Z mount lenses they are pretty much all aimed at the pros or the rich, A 100-400 for the Z50 is £2600 compared to £650 for the Canon 100-400. Plus Nikon have basically released the same camera 3 times each with a flaw and they have not yet put their z9 af into a cheaper body which is exactly what Canon have done
@@okgoogle3489 I would say it depends on what you want to shoot but if like me your interest is in Wildlife / Aviation then i would say the R10 because the AF is so much better, But the Nikon does still take great photos and if your main interest is Landscape or Street photography etc then that would still be a good choice. I have not used the R50 but for me that grip would be too small even the R10 grip is a little small for my liking but i can live with it
Keeping the mount closed and then not making any relevant lenses for it is just a big middle finger to any potential customer. I really don't wanna support a company this anti consumer to be honest.
No le ganas a Fujifilm o Sony ni aunque talles con los dientes sus nombres en la lapida 😅 Lo más cómico es que la comparas con cámaras viejas de estas 2 marcas jajajaja ya que no puede con las nuevas aps-c de Fuji ni de Sony pues todos sabemos que Canon siempre vende las especificaciones mas básicas en sus cámaras más recientes. Por cierto Canon EOS R10 da 15fps, sí, pero a un máximo de 21fps 🤣

Added an EF lens (2nd Gen USM) to my collection with the adapter and it shoots like a charm on those low F stops. You may have the smalles body around but definitely not the worst camera. And as said, come an upgrade to FF there is plenty to choose from native and through EF with an adapter.
Thank you for explaining why the EVF consumes more power than the LCD. I've never seen or read another review that explains why that is.
Hey man , for mainly photography as a hobby which would be better thr r10 or the xs10 .
MANY THANKS 4 HONEST REVIEW :)
..Q: Pls what does mean 4:50 FAST SD CARD? V30, V60 or V90?
Hi Toby, You always provide a wealth of great information. Thank you! Your instruction manual in reference to LightRoom. Is it up to date for 2024? I am interested in making the purchase. I see you own a Sony ;). But, I am sure you own many other brands of cameras as well.
Your recollections of your Rebel XT remind me of my Rebel XTi, which never died and I still have. I'm now using a T7i, another competent entry level camera (although the build quality of the XTi was always better than the T7i; Canon found a way to save money in build quality entry level cameras, while adding features).
But probably my next step will be a Canon mirrorless in full frame. I'm just waiting for the lens options to become clearer, especially as regards third party lens support on Canon mirrorless bodies. But the R10 is tempting. Hanging out in the entry level world isn't much of a compromise for most of what I do (lots of macro).
Totally agree with the older entry level still doing a fine job in many areas of photography. I too am curious to see if/when Canon let's in more 3rd party lenses. Hope they make the decision that's best for the customer.
Great review! I'm sticking with my Canon SL3 and all that awesome EF and EFS glass.
True - nothing wrong with the older cameras and you def do not have a lack of lenses!
Same. My primary is an R6 but most of my lenses are adapted EF glass. The 24-105/4 RF is the only lens I have that's RF only. I carry an old SL1 as a backup. Usually it wears an 18-300 megazoom, but it can handle my 100-400 and 70-200 whites, along with a couple primes. It's definitely a huge step back in terms of capability, but if my R6 took a dump on a trip (let's hope not) at least I wouldn't be completely screwed. And on vacation, my G7X3 dive camera doubles as my tiny walkaround.
I love my R10, and it's a great compliment to my R5. Was that Peekaboo Canyon at the start of the video?
Can you review r10 with some RF lenses (35mm / 28-70mm f2/ 100-400 mm etc.). Would like to know how the performance of r10 will be using rf lenses since there are not many options of rfs lenses
As someone who has not really gone into photography as a hobby but wants a step up from my iPhone, this looks to be a good option, perhaps I am in the target market for this. The kit lens now seems to be 18-45. I had a Canon Eos1000? many years ago and have always liked the ergonomics so am looking at their products. I have looked at bridge cameras and the R50 but this R10 seems to be a worthwhile step up from both and if I do get the photography bug it will allow me some growth. Thanks for a good real world review.
Hi Bill - there is a 18-45 kit or 18-150 kit - You should be able to buy the camera with one or the other lens included bhpho.to/440i3Lw
Can you suggest some good lens options for the canon EOS R10 (potrite & Landscape)
I own a Canon R10 and I think it is an excellent camera. There are just two lenses for this camera, but I bought my R 10 with an adapter included, and I can use all the lenses I have to my Canon 760D. I can even use my Tamron 18-400 mm with surprisingly good results.
That's excellent to hear that even 3rd party lenses like the Tamron 18-400 are working well. Though I shouldn't be surprised most lenses I have tested with the adapter have worked well.
Great review Toby! You hit the nail on the head with this one. I'm a Sony shooter too. A6600 and A7RV. I'd honestly be happy to be done with FF, but my A6600 is long of tooth and we've heard nothing from Sony about a replacement. Meanwhile, Fuji and Canon have produced some compelling options, BUT THE LENSES! I have a wonderful selection of APS-C lenses for my Sony, and there are a few more I'd like to add, but currently I'm using my 7RV as my crop sensor camera, probably than more than in FF mode. I'd say, I'll be patient, and wait for Canon to fill in the APS-C line up, but without 3rd party support, it's going to be a loooong time before that happens. I'm guessing Canon doesn't have a 23mm F1.4 in their immediate plans, LOL. So I guess I'm just stuck with waiting for Sony to "get it done".
Thanks James - it is a bit frustrating with how quiet Sony has been on the APS-C front but as I said to Paolo above I have been on conference calls with Sony execs and when pushed about new aps-c cameras they are very tight lipped but will say - would we be releasing so many lenses if we didn't think aps-c has a future - I am really hoping they adopt a new design for aps-c when they do release.
A6700 just came out
@Xottapchenko ha ha, Mine is arriving tomorrow!
Thank u !!!
Do you think RF-S mount cameras would suffer in image quality when using EF canon and 3rd party lenses via adapter? Or using RF lenses? I was getting the R10 as my first camera, but im now getting second thoughts about that, after hearing that RF-S mount cameras would indeed suffer in image quality when using other than the two RF-S lenses.
Great, thorough review. Do you experience any shutter shock ?
Thanks Steven. I did not. Especially shooting 1st curtain electronic should avoid that.
@@photorectoby Thank you.
Here in Canada the R10 plus the 18-150 lens is about $2200 with an SD Card
Hi, I am more tempted by the r7, for the stabilization mainly, but I want to wait and see the rumored upcoming sony aps-c, which would make more sense to me, let's hope they include some of the fun features these new canon camera have....

I wish that too, something on the lines of the original a7 would be great for aps-c...
Toby, I'm getting into macro photography, and my Canon 7D Mk II with flash is too heavy, though it has 10 fps drive mode, and my Canon T-3, though lighter, has only 3 fps. So, I'm looking for a lighter Canon (which I could use with my EF mounted Tokina ATX-i 100mm f2.8 FF macro lens, and Godox TT600 flash), especially with an articulated screen - because with my old-age spinal and hip pain prevent me from getting down and dirty tring to look through the Live View image 0o flowers and insects. HOWEVER - I've heard/read that the R10 articulating screen is blurry and not well lit - would you comment about your experience with the screen please?
Many thanks!
I have a Canon 70D and will be moving into Sony full frame later this year. Unless you definitely just wanted the camera and the kitv lens and weren't looking to take your photography beyond that lens, then i wouldn't buy into a crop sensor that doesn't have a wide selection of good native lenses. For my 70D, the amount of native glass was ok (and that was when Tamron and Sony made canon compatible glass), but when there was not a great option you turned to full frame, and that didn't always work out great. I bought a Tamron 70-200, great lens and if you need that 320 equivalent long end for wildlife, but if you wanted to use it more like a short telephoto, well then it starts at 112mm, which is just to long for a lot if what i want to do with it, so i barely use it these days.
Great point about compromising with full frame lenses at the wider end. Often they are more tele than you want!
How does ISO compare R10 vs R7, which is better than R10 because it has less 24Mpx? I came up with the idea of a second body for my gold RP that doesn't have animal tracking, but I like how compact it is. Or it's better to invest in R6 :D
I do not see only two lenses in the rf mounts for apsc an issue
The t10 is an entry level camera. If someone purchases that camera and decides to get in photography more seriously later of course they may want more choices of lens
Remember the apsc mount accepts full frame lenses and most serious photographers also move up to full frame
I see no issues with on two lenses dedicated to this format
Just about to switch up from a canon 80D to the Canon R10. Main reason is the 80D struggles with higher iso and i like the AF eye tracking etc. I miss so many BIF's due to missing the focus point on it.
Only downside of the video is stupid square space ads, once at the start ok but once the second one started i quit.
Do you think that XS20 is overpriced considering the R10 has good things?
Even Fuji bring bigger size of apsc ini Xs20
Thanks for the video. I have the R7 and got it with that 18-150 kit lens and I found it to be great for a walk around lens. I also have the 100-400 and for the money that is the best lens in the RF system. I use it on my R7 and R5 with amazing results. I do hope the RF-S lens line does expand because this R10 seems like a nice little camera and the R7 is my now favorite APS-C camera. Cheers.
Agreed - if they expand out this lens line up even a little but it will be a stellar system.
isn't it RF 50mm f1.8 going to work great on R10?
Does this camera have a battery grip
I own a T7i (800D) and was thinking about going to mirrorless. This R10 fills every mark for what i want: mirrorless with intelligent AF, 2 control dials plus the joystick. I do not shoot video. I would use my existing EF-S lenses (18-135 nano, 55-250 stm and sigma 30 art.)
Thanks for your clear opinion on this camera.
did you transition? I'm studying almost the exact same transition from a T6i here.
@@adilcoelho I didn´t, As i live in argentina an R10 might get a little pricier than the rest of the world. Customs add a liiitle 50% tax... So I have to save more, and then figure out how to sell my T7i. There´s no KEH or MPB or similar here.
@@gtaliano exactly the same here, I'm from Brazil hahaha
Hoping we get there, hermano!
Canon going to go for RF-S 15-70mm F2.8-4 is USM. if it offered like 18-55mm f2.8-4 (xs-10). It will be superb.
Would love to see something like that from Canon soon!
And why did you not mention that it has in-camera focus-stacking (not simply focus-bracketing)? Macro shooters will love Canon R10's Focus Stacking feature. In this mode, R10 automatically composites multiple shots taken at different focal positions using focus bracketing to create a single image with maximum depth of field.
im a bit confused i hope you can explain to me.
aps-c got a crop factor on canon cameras of 1.6
but i heard that when you get the canon r10 4k 60 fps. there is a crop factor .
is when i use the 4k 24fps has zero crop factor, or the 4k 60fps has an additional crop factor to the basic 1.6?
They sometimes do a further crop when doing 4k 60 because the camera cannot process all the pixels at that speed. So they reduce the surface area of the sensor for that mode, so it has less pixels and able to process it at 60 fps.
Way out of date about RF and RF-S lenses! Plenty available now. RF 18-150mm and RF 100-400mm seems like a good combination. Whether that can replace my Sony RX10 iv remains to be seen. Looks a bit small, may not feel right but if the output is significantly better, that one might used to that. Bit of duct tape over that lock button?
Although I have a Sony A7IV it good to see Canon producing some good not crippled cameras, but come on, where are the affordable lenses. Several years ago I looked for a smaller system for travel etc, and it had to be fun to use. So I tried the Fujifilm system. Never looked back. Wonderful lens selection, great image quality and ,silly as this may sound, they make me feel good.
Doesn't sound silly at all. Fuji makes a great system and really has a great lens collection. Excellent overall for travel.
I sincerely doubt any of the rebel series had a shutter release faster than 3.5 fps, having own one myself. I believe the R10 can go up to 15fps. It's more like the XXD series mirrorless equivalent. rebels were XXXD.
Ive been using a Sony A6000 for a few years doing wildlife. Unfortunately, ive never been able to afford Sony's limited choice of long focal lenses. So it forced me to use vintage manual lenses. Canon on the other hand has a plethora of long focal primes and its the sole reason ive been looking to switch. To be honest, I wish I could stick with Sony. Their cameras are very good and if/when i actually do get to use autofocus, i know Sony really leads the way. End of the day, I just say, if youre a good enough photographer, you can make a great photo with anything providing you have the right tool (lens) for the job!
If purely crop sensor then Fuji hits the mark. Good selection and third party glass designed for the crop sensor plus different models to suit your needs and only one drawback is the raw conversion where you need to decide how this affects your work flow.
Except their AF is shite. And a camera is measured by its AF. A missed shot is a missed opportunity and a missed moment.
Canon has the best AF on the market currently, hands down.
Their lens selection is awful but luckily you can adapt many great EF and EF-S lenses
Would you recommend this camera for a photo booth?
Personally, I wouldn't make that trade, but I would trade in my ex-wife for another R10. Great camera.
Hey. Looking to buy a R10 for my wife, so i have a quick question.. Are there any drawbacks of using RF lenses on this camera? I want to buy a RF 50mm F1.8... From the specs i see that both RF and RF-S are compatible, right? Thx.
The only drawback would be that you'd get a cropping factor of 1.6x, because of the tiny sensor ... So the 50mm would effectively become an 80mm.
This is great if you want the reach of 80mm, but not so great if you want a mid-range 50mm.
A good option would be to opt for the 35mm f1.8 STM. a really good budget lens with a f1.8 aperture. With the crop factor, this would be a 56mm. (500$)
You're correct in saying both RF and RS-s are compatible with the R10, it's just that the RF-S lenses are specifically made for crop sensor (small sensor) cameras. They're usually on the cheaper end of the market too. The RF lenses will work on any Canon R camera and will generally command a higher price.
Any RF lens that has an L in the model name is classed as a pro lens, with a wide/fast aperture and is the most expensive. However, the best value L lens is the CANON RF 24-105MM F4L IS USM. It's L series optics, pretty good zoom reach and only around 1300$.
@@jamesmitchell5 Thank you so much for this!
I am still using my Canon Sl1. I was considering the R10 until Canon started threatening third-party lens makers. while over the last year, they have started to marginally open the gates, I cannot afford Canon's lenses, so I have been holding off upgrading. Meanwhile my iPhone 13 Pro will move to the new iPhone 16 with AI features in the next six months.
I’am sure it is a good camera, to small a body for me though and I think the autofocus is unreliable. At least the one I tried. Not up to par with my old 1dx mk1.
You can have all the hi tech in the world but the thing that matters to me is not eye tracking och face detection, what is important is knowing that the object I point at gets in focus as fast as possible so I can get the shot.
I'm pretty sure the picture of the bison in the snow storm is hanging up at the hospital in Minot 🤔
I don't understand why reviewers always say there is a lack of lenses. There are numerous EF-S lenses that work just fine with the R10 with the basic $100 adapter. I've used my EF-S 10-18, EF-S 18-135 and my EF-S 55-250 with no problem at all. I've also used an RF100-400 which equates to a 160-640. Needless to say, all the full frame EF lenses would work just fine as well.
Along with all the native RF lenses. Seriously, I have heard whining about the adapter adding weight and "bulk". These adapters weight next to nothing and I don't even notice it when mounted. The bonus is, with everyone switching to mirrorless and Canon no longer making EF lenses, very good lenses can be had on the used market for a fraction of their original price. It's actually a tremendous opportunity.
@@alansach8437I picked up the one that comes with RF-S 18-45 f/4.5-6.3 IS STM Lens, could you recommend what I should do from there as far as what my next lens should be ?
Glad that you made a comparison to Sony A6400 because that is my another prime choice to choose.
Thx for the feed back ‘ I have a Canon R10 please be advise that 100-400 mm is good lens for R10 and also which accessories are the capable for R10 ‘ I really appreciated sir if you can reply to me ..Thanks God Bless
I reckon the lock button is for letting someone else taking the picture, so they don't accidentally change the setting.
I just bought it.. can 100-500 RF lens work on it ?
Yes it can.
@@photorectoby super thanks.. My cousin has it and we gonna hit a birding session on the weekends.. looking forward to it..
should i get the r50 or the r10?
R10👍
Hey this camera it's not mafe for sport foto. Buy R7 for it. R10 it's working perfect for other photography.
Actually, there are three. You forgot the 55-210. But still, with the Sigma trios of 1.4 people are better off looking elsewhere. This advice is coming from an owner of the R7.
Good catch!. Thanks.
The other reason there are no other lenses is also because Canon sued third party manufacturers and is expected to keep it that way for a decade or more.
My guess for the future of Canon/ the whole industry: there'll be bodies of different systems as 4/3,apsc ,FF but FF lenses only. And that's all right.
But, It seems silly to carry around more glass than you need.
i could be a prefect camera if they put C-log in it
13:23 " ...which is just dumb!" 😂 Loved it.
Bro sonya6400 is good camera better than r10
The Nikon lens offerings are industry leading. The Z50ii will be amazing.
But will they stick with the flip down articulating screen? Or Maybe they will adopt the screen of the Z30?
No the problem with Nikon is they have not released any budget Z mount lenses they are pretty much all aimed at the pros or the rich, A 100-400 for the Z50 is £2600 compared to £650 for the Canon 100-400. Plus Nikon have basically released the same camera 3 times each with a flaw and they have not yet put their z9 af into a cheaper body which is exactly what Canon have done
@@smguk2412 bro which one is better r10 or, r50, or z50,bit confused
@@okgoogle3489 I would say it depends on what you want to shoot but if like me your interest is in Wildlife / Aviation then i would say the R10 because the AF is so much better, But the Nikon does still take great photos and if your main interest is Landscape or Street photography etc then that would still be a good choice. I have not used the R50 but for me that grip would be too small even the R10 grip is a little small for my liking but i can live with it
Keeping the mount closed and then not making any relevant lenses for it is just a big middle finger to any potential customer. I really don't wanna support a company this anti consumer to be honest.
With the 35 RF lenses Canon has already released and an EF adapter, the R10 has more options than most APS-C cameras.
sony can not die
Sorry but I had no interest in you trying the personal opinion about Sony cameras and that's where I pulled the plug on this video.
Still crop sensor.
And my point is that maters so much less these days - especially for general photography and travel.
Canon R10 is $200-$300 too expensive, its should be $200-300 cheaper
Is it possible to compare with z50, which one is good for a beginner
And what abt r50🥹
No le ganas a Fujifilm o Sony ni aunque talles con los dientes sus nombres en la lapida 😅
Lo más cómico es que la comparas con cámaras viejas de estas 2 marcas jajajaja ya que no puede con las nuevas aps-c de Fuji ni de Sony pues todos sabemos que Canon siempre vende las especificaciones mas básicas en sus cámaras más recientes.
Por cierto Canon EOS R10 da 15fps, sí, pero a un máximo de 21fps 🤣
