The EOS R100 is a compact, lightweight consumer camera designed to capture memorable moments with excellent image quality. Its portable design and straightforward controls make it ideal for photography on the go.
In addition to the camera launch, Canon is also launching the RF 28mm F2.8 STM lens, currently the smallest and lightest lens in their RF range, and the OC-E4A, a new off-camera flash cable designed specifically for Canon's multi-function shoe.
The EOS R100
The EOS R100 has a 24.1-megapixel APS-C sensor that is several times larger than a smartphone sensor, delivering a noticeable improvement in image and video quality. It also features Canon EOS R-series Dual Pixel CMOS AF, with fast and accurate subject detection, eye tracking through the viewfinder or LCD screen, and reliable focus that keeps up with the action.
The camera also gives users the ability to shoot at little light and to achieve a beautiful, authentic bokeh effect where the background is smoothly softened so that full attention is focused on the subject.
The portable design of the EOS R100 - weighing just 356 grams - is smaller and lighter than a traditional SLR camera.
With its ergonomic grip, electronic viewfinder, intuitive controls and guided user interface, the EOS R100 allows users to embrace the role of family photographer even without professional expertise.
Moreover, the creative assist function allows you to easily adjust background blur, brightness, contrast and color balance.
Wi-Fi and always-on Bluetooth4 connectivity let users transfer photos and videos seamlessly to a smartphone through the Canon Camera Connect app for immediate sharing.
The RF 28mm F2.8 STM lens
The RF 28mm F2.8 STM lens fits effortlessly into any camera bag and can even be used as a body cap replacement, making it a convenient choice for travel and street photographers.
The 28mm focal length offers versatility, while the fast maximum aperture of F2.8 supports a wide range of shooting situations. The wide aperture enables low-light photography and creates a shallow depth of field, producing softly blurred backgrounds that direct attention to the subject.
The RF 28mm F2.8 STM has a combined control and focus ring, allowing users to easily adjust settings and quickly switch to manual focus if necessary.
