    Great camera to reenter the hobby

    Reviewed by - November 9, 2024

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought the R10 with the 18-150 kit lense for a trip to Europe. I was able to get up to speed rather quick thanks to YouTube. The camera performed well in low light and on the go around town.

    Another great entry from canon

    Reviewed by - October 26, 2022

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So like many others, I enjoy photography and being creative while capturing special moments with my wife and kids or when I see something that catches my eye and maybe it will capture others eyes as well. I think I am pretty good at picking a subject and shooting it well with this canon r10. They used to call me the photographer of the family. And I appreciate the fact that they appreciated my work, amateur or not. I used to shoot with my canon m6 mark ii. That camera has served me well and it was time to upgrade. I’m glad I did as the r10 is in my opinion substantially better minus the megapixel count. The r10 excels in well lit shooting environments. If you have either good natural light or good room lighting then Your pictures will come out beautifully. The sharpness is beautiful in my opinion for a non full size/frame sensor. Background blur is great as well with the stock lens. Good ole reliable canon processing. Now if lighting isn’t great you may see visible noise and minor blurring unfortunately. But that is typical of the kit lenses. And it’s understandable as usually the price point is fair and reasonable enough. Personally I don’t shoot at night so this isn’t necessarily an issue for me. But it may be for you if you want a stock all in one camera/Lens kit. I myself plan on purchasing the good ole nifty fifty 50mm f1.8 lens For better lower light situations and better background blur. Plus I want to make more videos with my family and maybe start a YouTube channel. As far as video goes, this camera will suit just about anyone needs for everyday videos or semi pro videos for content creators as well. Videos we took came out clear and smooth with no stutter or video noise both at 1080p @60 or even 4K @60(cropped). Only issue with video is the built in camera mics. While they work ok. The sound isn’t great but that’s understandable as most people will use an external mic like I did(see pics). Easy fix, so now my videos look great and sound great. I did not experience any over heating while shooting 4K and the battery lasted longer than expected. Tho I plan on buying an extra to be safe. As far as build is concerned, it’s the same solid, study and light weight construction that you expect from canon and it’s mirror less line of cameras. Fits like a glove and isn’t cumbersome in the slightest. Almost every fine tune setting and options for pros and simple to use buttons and options for those just starting off. I’m in the middle I would say and I still have some to learn. Adjustable screen is great for selfies or shooting video as you can have it face you to see is you are centered or not. Great feature! Touchscreen works as it should and is easy to navigate menus and such. The EVF is built in which I appreciate. My m6 mark ii was not. The evf is clear, bright and sharp if you want to see how your photos came out up close. Camera has a built in flash and it works well but unfortunately if you have a mic connected you can not use it. Again not a huge deal for videos but it might bother some. With all that I just said, the simple advice I can give is that this camera is great. No real downfalls. So much upside for a novice photographer, a mother or father who wants you capture and cherish their children’s younger years or someone who wants to make a career out of photography and is just starting off and doesn’t have enough money to go straight to canons high end DSLR. This is really a great starting point. especially after you invest and try out new lenses. You can not go wrong with this model. I whole heartedly recommend this model for sure.

    EXCELLENT MIRRORLESS CAMERA!

    Reviewed by - October 25, 2022

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Canon EOS R10 is a truly impressive and outstanding camera. It is a solid mid-range camera that performs beautifully! With stellar features and functionality, and excellent specifications, this mirrorless, interchangeable lens camera is terrific. The EOS R10 may fall towards the entry level of Canon cameras, however, it is not an entry level camera by any standard. It is a robust and flexible camera with excellent hardware and a comprehensive and powerful feature set. Canon recently released the new APS-C Sensor (1.6x crop factor) EOS R10 and R7 models. There are some notable differences between them. The most significant is that the R7 has In Body Image Stabilization (IBIS), while the R10 does not, and relies on Lens Image Stabilization which can also work with electronic image stabilization in Movie mode. The R7 has a 32.5 MP sensor, and the R10 is 24.2 MP. The R7 is -5EV and the R10 is -4EV. The R7 has a higher capacity battery, 7k oversampling 4k video instead of 6k, and two SD card slots instead of one. The R7 also costs substantially more! Decades ago, I shot both 2 ¼ square and 35mm formats. I bulk loaded film and developed and printed in my darkroom. I also sold every type of photography product in large camera stores. My appreciation of good photography gear and of good photography continues. A significant change, however, has been that in the film days a “big shooting day” might have been about 216 images. Thanks to digital photography I sometimes shoot about 1000 - 1500 stills and videos, something that would have been incomprehensible and inconceivable with film. Digital photography and automation allow anyone to shoot excellent images. In the hands of creative people, these cameras afford great capabilities to capture shots that would likely never have been captured with manually operated film cameras. Mirrorless, interchangeable lens digital cameras are an excellent choice for many users, and the Canon 10 is just such a camera. The R10s list of features, functions and specifications is extensive and far beyond inclusion in a brief review. If not for the space limitations of the site, I could expound on the powerful and flexible features and functionality of the R10 at great length. Suffice it to say, the Canon R10 is impressive in many important ways. The only notable disappointment with the R10 is the kit lens. Presently, Canon offers only two native RF-S lenses, designed specifically for the new R10 and R7. The R10 is sold with either the RF-S 18 – 45 mm, f/4.5, or the 18 – 150 mm, f/3.5 lens. The 18 – 45 mm has 7 elements in 7 groups. Wide-open at f/4.5 indoors, the R10 consistently prompts for flash. The 18 – 150 lens has 17 elements in 13 groups, and a superior light admittance of f/3.5. I have the 18 – 45 mm f/4.5. The slow f/4.5 lens impedes bokeh effect and imposes unnecessary digital noise in images. Subjectively, the images are decent, but I have better lenses. I believe that the faster and longer 18 – 150 mm f/3.5 is a better choice, and in all honesty, I wish that I had that lens. The RF-S lenses are manual zoom. The R10 is compatible with RF lenses, and with EF and EF-S lenses using an EF-EOS R Mount Adapter. The RF-S lens mount is plastic, rather than metal like the lens mount flange on the R10 body. It would be better if both mating surfaces were metal. The zoom ring requires a firm twist to extend the lens barrel from the parked position detent to the shooting position. Since the R10 body does not support power zoom lenses which extend and retract with power on/off, the R10 provides an on-screen notice if you fail to manually extend the lens barrel. The R10 sensor is a 24.2 megapixel, APS-C, Dual Pixel CMOS AF sensor measuring 22.3 x 14.9 mm. The R10 sensor has menu selectable self-cleaning. The R10 has powerful and outstanding Auto-Focus and Auto-Exposure functionality and offers comprehensive exposure control with more than a dozen exposure modes, six auto-focus modes and four metering modes. The Auto-Focus system is fantastic and represents the best Canon AF. With 651 auto-focus points and real-time AF and tracking for humans, animals and vehicles, it excels, and compares with the best AF functionality available. The R10 has Canon’s latest (2020) and most advanced DIGIC X image processor. Still formats range through compressed RAW (C-RAW - .CR3), and video resolution up to 4k UHD (60 fps) with crop. The R10 has an OLED electronic viewfinder which I believe is essential. The rubber eye cup is comfortable and provides for good eye relief even when wearing eyeglasses. The 4 diopter adjustment slide beneath the eye cup is difficult to access while using the viewfinder. The R10 has a fully articulating 3” TFT, LCD touchscreen. A viewfinder proximity sensor disables the touchscreen when the viewfinder is used. The touchscreen is clear and responsive; however the touch targets are small and can be missed resulting in the incorrect item inadvertently being selected. My recent experience is with another camera ecosystem. The Canon User Interface is of course different and requires a familiarization and adaptation period. The software has many settings and variables. There is an enormous range of options affording superior creative control or allowing the R10 to apply full-automation to the composition. With numerous icons and graphic display elements, the viewfinder or display screen can be congested. Canon provides comprehensive documentation and many useful resources on the support website. The included, printed Instruction Manual is brief, but the Advanced User Guide is a whopping 919 page PDF document. The R10 is compact in size and light in weight, making it easy and convenient to carry or pack. The “ready to shoot” weight inclusive of 18 – 45 mm lens, battery and SD card is 19.3 ounces (549 grams). The trade-off with a compact camera body, is that with the many control buttons and knobs, the buttons are small, and some controls are in close proximity. The R10 body size is about ideal for a compact, APS-C camera, and the right-hand grip is deep and easy to hold. The body is nicely textured and affords a secure grip on the camera. The R10 is supplied with one LP-E17 battery pack and 120VAC wall charger. Charging is slow and battery capacity is limited, especially when using the EVF. The required memory card is not included. I installed a 128 GB Sandisk Extreme SDXC UHS-I, V30, U3, C10 SD card, and the camera’s performance, including recording 4k UHD video has been fine. The R10 also supports UHS-II cards which should be even better for 4k UHD video and RAW Burst mode. Canon includes both a body cap and rear lens cap, as well as the front lens cap and a Canon strap. The R10 is equipped with 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n , and Bluetooth 4.0 LE. On the left side of the body there is a 3.5 mm stereo mini jack microphone input, but no headphone output jack (why?). Under the same dust cover is another mini-jack for the optional Canon RS-60E3 Remote Switch (shutter release). Under the adjacent dust cover is a USB-A port and a mini-HDMI jack. The dust covers are soft rubber, attached to the camera body with integral tethers. These types of covers often wear and become loose and fail to remain in place to protect the open jacks/ports. The rubber tethering strips also have the tendency to break. The Canon product support page offers several PC and smartphone applications, including Digital Photo Professional, Picture Style Editor, Camera Connect, Digital Photo Professional Express, EOS Webcam Utility, and EOS Utility. I have been using the EOS Utility on Windows 11 to transfer image and video files from the R10 to my laptop, and it works well. I genuinely enjoy using the R10. The feature set and exposure controls are extensive and robust, and creative photography is very well supported. The R10 can also be placed in virtual control of the photography with Scene Intelligent Auto mode, which produces excellent images with point-and-shoot ease. The R10 provides three levels of Continuous Shooting, with a maximum rate of 15 shots per second with the mechanical shutter or 23 shots per second with the electronic shutter. Coupled with the 1/4000s shutter speed, action and sports photography needs are well met. The ISO range is 100 - 32,000 and the expanded ISO range is 51,200. The R10 also has a flip-up flash and Multi-Function hot-shoe with added pins and the ability to power some attached devices with the camera’s battery. Again, exposure and AF control are incredible. The only deficiency that I encountered was rolling shutter, particularly during fast pans in 4k video, which is common with CMOS sensor cameras. The camera hardware seems to be good-quality. The lens mount flange is metal, and lens locking with the plastic lens is solid. The body is plastic and is not dust or weather sealed. The Canon R10 is an excellent camera. It is extremely capable and can produce excellent photographs. I am enjoying the R10 a great deal. The size, weight and outstanding features and technology of the R10 make it an excellent camera for many applications including travel. Of course, I recommend this impressive camera very highly!

    Great Camera, Great price.

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - January 2, 2025

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this camera. I've always been a Canon guy but haven't upgraded in years. With a modest budget, I bought the R10. I took it Germany for some business/fun and captured some great photos. It's responsive, integrates with my computer and mobile phone for quick transfers, and when paired with some of my vintage lenses, produces film like images that river camera 2x and 3x the price. I love it so much, I bought my son one for his college graduation.

    A robust camera for content creators

    Reviewed by - October 26, 2022

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm an experienced photographer and over the years, I've taken great care in upgrading my equipment to ensure I had the best possible product for the jobs I was doing. My fiancé loves taking pictures, but is intimidated by more complex camera systems -- like my Canon EOS R5. She admitted to me that she would love to have a mirrorless camera, but didn't want to plunge into the pro-level cameras. This is exactly who the Canon EOS R10 is made for. It's perfect for people who have experience with DSLR cameras and want to move to a mirrorless set-up and it's ideal for content creators. This camera is much more budget-friendly than some of the other mirrorless cameras in Canon's product lineup and it's very easy to use. Within a few minutes of unboxing the camera, my fiancé was outside taking photos of birds and plants around our house. The biggest takeaway I have about the R10 is that it is an 'entry-level' camera with advanced technology built into it. For example, the R10 has the Dual Pixel CMOS AF II focusing system integrated and it does a fabulous job in practice. On the flip side, it doesn't have as many focus points as the pro-level Canon mirrorless cameras do. The R10 is very lightweight but solidly built. It seems to be durable and since it has a more compact body than some other Canon cameras, it's very portable. The controls are all located on the right-hand side of the camera (for the most part) and a user can easily reach the buttons, dials, and joystick with their right thumb without removing their hand from the grip. The flip-out touchscreen is another piece of advanced technology that you typically don't get with entry-level equipment, but it's a very welcome addition to this camera. It makes the photo-taking experience much richer. The kit lens that comes with the R10 is a nice starter lens that will work for most users but is worth an upgrade depending on your use. The camera also features a maximum mechanical burst rate of 15 FPS, which is great for capturing sports and wildlife. The R10 is a robust starter camera but there are some staunch differences between it and the pro-level mirrorless cameras from Canon. For example, the R10 -- does not have weather sealing only shoots video at 4K @ 24FPS un-cropped/4K @ 60FPS cropped cannot shoot C-log does not have a dedicated 3.5mm headphone jack only has a single memory card slot vs a dual-card slot has a maximum mechanical shutter speed of 1/4000 Even though the R10 is missing some of the pro-level features from Canon, it's still a worthwhile mirrorless camera for content creators. It takes crisp photos and it's very easy to use.

    Mirrorless Camera Packed With Fun

    Reviewed by - October 30, 2022

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For anyone looking to get into photography or those looking to make the just to a mirrorless camera, the Canon EOS R10. This camera is amazing and is so much fun to use. I already own an old Canon Rebel with EF-S lenses. The first thing I noticed though when I removed the camera from the box was just how light it was. The mirrorless cameras are substantially lighter than the older counterparts. This makes having it around you need during a day of sightseeing so much nicer. The weight is listed at 0.84 pounds, but it feels lighter than that. It is wonderful. The box also contains the necessary bells and whistles. You get the battery pack, charger, and strap. You will need to get the SD card for use, but this is common. Shooting pictures with this is easy. The auto focus is so much faster than the previous DSLR I was using. Also, the camera did not slow down if I wanted to take many pictures in succession. With my old DSLR, I may take 4 or 5 shots quickly and then had to wait for the camera to catch up before I could take more shots. This was not an issue with the Conon R10. Indoors or outside made little difference. The camera also has many built in functions to customize your work. You can shoot black and white, shoot with different color balances, shoot in fisheye view, or even shoot with a mode that makes the image look like a color sketch drawing. This is great for content providers or people who just want to explore with photography. The back of the camera has a convenient screen that you can use to line up you image. You can even just tap the screen to take a photo when you like it. Everything on the screen is touch controlled, so you can even change parameters right on the screen. You can rotate the screen however you like as well to give you complete control of the photography process. Another great feature with the camera is the ability to shoot video. This is amazing and works great for shooting your own YouTube videos or other content. You can shoot 4K content with up to 30-minute clips. You even have the capability to add additional accessories like a microphone to enhance your final product. As I mentioned previously, I have old EF-S lenses that I use with the Rebel that I have. Presently there are not additional lenses to use with the R10. However, the camera does have backward compatibility with the old DSLR lenses. There is an adapter you can get (I would recommend getting the Canon adapter and not one from a third-party vendor) that will allow you to use the older lenses. This helps you save money and lets you use any of the old lenses you like. In the end though, a camera is really as good as the pictures it takes. This camera delivers in this area. The colors are rich and vibrant. With a 24.2 Megapixel CMOS, the images are amazingly clear. Even when you take a picture from a distance away, you can zoom in on areas without hurting the image. With the intelligence built into the camera, you don’t have to worry about which f-stop is right. Indoors or out, images are crisp. This even works great for fast moving targets that you may see at a sporting event or even an air show. The images are still amazing. In the end, I am very impressed by the Canon EOS R10 Mirrorless Camera. I had been wanting to step up to the mirrorless cameras for some time and could not be happier with the R10. I highly recommend the R10 for photographers of all skill level and content providers looking to have the best quality images and video.

    Gret beginner Sdoid

    Reviewed by - November 1, 2022

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Canon lists the OS R10 as an advanced beginner and content creator camera. It is more capable than beginner cameras and costs a bit more to reflect that. But I feel it is a bargain as you get much more in a surprisingly light, compact, and easy to use body. The R10 has a fast autofocus that keeps up with moving subjects, better than many cameras I tried. The 15fps mechanical and 23fps electronic shooting speeds for brief periods before slowing. It slows down much faster shooting in RAW format vs. JPEG, I suspect a limitation in the speed writing to the UHS card and/or a lack of cache slows the shutter speed down. This fast shutter speed help ensure getting that crucial shot, say when shooting a child’s sporting event. The R10 has an eye and subject tracking feature that tracks people, animals, and vehicles within the image to keep the focus on your moving subjects. This is again, also an excellent feature for sporting events and vlogging. The video supports uncropped 4K at 30p. The camera itself digital Image Stabilization to reduce camera shake and leave you with a smooth looking video. Video clips can extend beyond the 30-minute limit of other cameras if your battery and SD card have the capacity. The multi-function Hot Shoe on top supports external Microphones as well as optional lights and external flashes. There is a microphone input for an optional external microphone, but curiously there is no headphone jack to monitor your audio when shooting videos. As a longtime Canon SLR user, I find it a great second camera to have on hand. With its familiar controls, it’s an easy camera for other family members to use. The R10 is smaller and lighter than Canon EOS 70D, which had received some groans on who had to carry it in the past. The R10’s small size and weight server to make it an excellent travel camera. Whether it’s a vacation or creating content on the go, the R10 much less fatiguing to carry around all day than my Canon 70D. The Canon R10 has a Plasticky feel/look that struck me odd at first at this price point, but it is light and about as small as a SLR can get. After carrying it around for several hours, I became OK with it. Despite being smaller, there is a deep grip well on the right side that provides a good purchase on the camera. Its comfortable to hold with good balance. Supporting a long telephoto lens on the camera is not a problem. The controls are laid out logically and easy to use as is the menu structure. The articulating touchscreen rotates and flips so you can view it from behind, below, above and in front of the camera. If you are already in the Canon Camera eco system as I am, the addition of a Canon EF/EF-S Lens mount adapter is a no-brainer. The adapter allows the use of Canon EF & EF-S Lens on the R10. Having several Canon EF lenses and one EFS lens, this provided me with allot of extra value. There is also a much wider selection of focal length and speeds in EF and EF-S lenses available now than with the new RF lenses. Available lenses are big factors to consider when looking at a replacement camera. • Canon 2971C005 = Simple Adapter allows EF/ EF-S lens with a Canon R series camera • Canon 2972C002 = As above but adds a Programmable Control Ring that can be programmed in the menu to add an easy to access function when shooting manually such as shutter speed, ISO, aperture, white balance, etc. *This is the one seen in my pictures. • Canon 3442C002 = Drop-in Filter Mount Adapter EF-EOS R with Circular Polarizing Filter. • Canon 3443C002 = Drop-in Filter Mount Adapter EF-EOS R with Variable ND Filter. The last two adapters do not have a control ring but are great options. One set of filters cover all your EF/EF-S lenses regardless of the diameter of this front lens filter size. Another consideration for the R10 is if you have many EF-S lenses. The EF-S image is sized for a CPS-C sensor, so they are a good match for the R10. With the R10, both EF and EF-S lenses will work perfectly well without the image being cropped as they will on other R series cameras with a larger sensor. The EF lens supports a larger Full Frame image which work on both Full Frame and CPS-C image sensors. With the R10, Cannon introduced a line of less expensive RF-S lenses. Like the EFS-S lenses, these have a smaller image sized for the CPS-C sensor. If you think you may one day progress to a more advanced Full Frame camera, it may be worth spending a bit more to go with Full Frame lenses. With the smaller CPS-C sensor, lenses have a higher rating than they do with a Full Frame camera. For example, a 75-300MM lens used on an CPS-C translates to be about 120-480mm The camera has Wi-Fi which allows you to share photos and videos to your phone and social media with the EOS Utility or to a PictBridge-compatible printer. The camera can also be controlled remotely Wi-Fi. The OLED screen viewfinder (no more mirror) is super clear, but it seems a bit small. I have a little trouble with image acquisition, getting the image situated and ready to shoot. It takes a bit longer to adjust to the small image after when other cameras have a larger viewfinder image. Picture and video quality are great in normal and bright light. But shooting in low light with the R10 leads to very dark pics. Also, when shooting manually if the ISO gets cranked up to 1280 or beyond, the picture gets noisy fast. I find the R10 to be a very capable photo/video camera ready to travel, capture memories or make content. There are a few minor shortcomings, but they are minor and can be overcome. This is a quality camera at a fair price and worth checking out. Especially if you have Canon EF, or EFS-R lenses from another camera. and other.

    Best Entry level camera with excellent autofocus

    Reviewed by - October 31, 2022

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Canon R10 is one of the best entry level mirrorless camera for a wider audience including Beginner Photographers and Content creators. Though this camera is classified as an entry level camera it is loaded with tonnes of customizable features. My previous camera was Canon T5i DSLR that was introduced in 2013 which really shoots some wonderful photographs and video which we use it for our YouTube channel where we get good feedback about the video quality even now. Since we were looking to upgrade to a 4K mirrorless camera for the content creation, we didn't really wanted to go for a high end camera. We wanted to stick to the budget camera without compromising on some of the key features like 4K video, Auto-focus and compact design. So far I have been very satisfied with the R10 and I would certainly recommend this camera to everyone except amateur Wildlife/Sports photographers who can go for the sibling Canon R7 which was introduced around the same timeframe. I am really surprised by how Canon has stayed on the top in terms of introducing new models with innovative technology to stay atop of the competition. Pros: 1. Overall Design - First looks were truly amazing. We own a Canon T5i DSLR and wanted to upgrade to a basic mirrorless camera for our YouTube cooking channel for better shooting performance and sleek design. R10 is so sleek, light weight (Camera without the lens weighs about 0.84 pounds and with the 18 – 45 mm lens it weighs around 1.21 pounds) and compact that it can be mounted on to the tripod easily. Having said that this camera is a great choice for vloggers, content creators and travelers especially who are outdoors and use a Gimbal for shooting. Since this a Beginner's camera upon choosing different modes we get a very nice representation with pictures and explanation for each of the modes. In my old T5i there were no images and it was all old style with just plain text. But Canon has done a great job in explaining the different modes in a more easier way. This option can be turned off if you are are an expert. 2. Autofocus - Another feature that R10 shines is on Autofocus. With the Digic X processor, its really impressive how fast the autofocus is. Autofocus can be changed or selected by touching the LCD screen. The difference of Autofocus on my old T5i vs R10 was clearly visible. R10 has an excellent Autofocus system for both photos and videos. Autofocus is almost the same as the higher end R7 camera. Canon has done an excellent job with the autofocus considering the price point of this camera. One cannot ask for more. 3. Burst shooting speeds - This is one of the another features that makes Canon R10 a worthy buy. Being an entry level mirrorless camera, Canon has done an amazing job with the shooting speed. Thanks to the Digic X processor once again for making this possible. One cannot expect wonders with shooting speeds especially if you are a Professional Wildlife or Sports photographer. If so you should consider the higher end R7 camera that has both In built body stabilization as well as amazing burst shooting speeds. 4. APS-C Image Sensor - R10 has the same image sensor as the higher end mirrorless version R7 which was released around the same time frame. 5. Shutter Mode - R10 has 15 FPS Mechanical shutter and 24 FPS Electronic shutter that makes this camera insanely fast making it suitable for Sports or Wildlife photographs but may not be best for professional Wildlife and Sports photographers. 6. Tracking subjects - It is possible for one to choose from a wide range of subjects that we want the R10 to capture which can be People, Animals (not just Dogs and Cats) and Vehicles. 7. Video shooting - R10 shoots video in 4K at 24 and 30 fps, 4K Crop Mode 60 FPS and FHD up to 120 FPS. 8. Creative filters - R10 comes with different modes like Grainy B&W, Soft Focus, Fisheye effect, Art Bold effect, Water painting effect, Toy camera effect, Miniature effect, HDR art standard, HDR art vivid, HDR art vivid, HDR art embossed which some people can use to reduce the time they spend on editing. 9. Photo Scene modes - Self Portrait, Portrait, Smooth Skin, Group photo, Landscape, Panoramic Shot, Sports, Kids, Panning, Close-up, Food, Night Portrait, Handheld Night Scene, HDR Backlight Control and Silent shutter 10. Movie Recording modes - Movie auto exposure(Shutter speed and aperture are auto - 4K at 24 and 30 fps and FHD at 24, 30 and 60 fps), Movie manual exp (Shutter speed and aperture are manually set - 4K at 24 and 30 fps and FHD at 24, 30 and 60 fps), HDR Movie(FHD only 30 fps) 11. Wireless connectivity - R10 comes with the options to connect to Bluetooth and Wifi. I tried transferring the photos over the Bluetooth and that saved a lot of time that people usually spend in transferring the photos from the SD card to the computer. 12. USB Type C charging - One can use the Power bank to charge the battery via the USB Type C port which will add some juice to the battery just in case you don't have additional batteries. 13. Memory card - There is no memory card provided. It will be better if one opts for UHS-II cards instead of UHS-I cards to get the most out of the 4K videos. Cons: 1. Lack of Image Stabilization - For Professional Sports, Wildlife photographers or anyone who is shooting fast action shots this camera may not be the best as it lacks some of the key features like in-body image stabilization. 2. Meager Battery - Canon has tried to retain the same LP-E17 battery. If you are someone who does lots of Outdoor photography or even indoor photography its better to have couple of more additional batteries so that you don't run out of juice in the middle of your shooting. With the LCD screen one can shoot around 350-450 shots. But with the EVF this reduces to only around 210-290 shots. Its better to use the LCD screen instead of EVF to save juice on the battery. 3. Smaller lens collection - Although it is possible to use an adapter to help use the old DSLR EF lenses on this one, it would be nice if Canon starts introducing more RF lenses in the near future. 4. Issue with High Frame rate switching - If we are shooting on 4K with High Frame rate off, if we turn the High Frame rate on and then flip it back to Off once the shooting is complete the Movie format doesn't revert back to 4K instead it will be on FHD. This might be frustrating as people might think they will be switched back to 4K only to realize they have been shooting on a completely different resolution. This is something Canon should correct it at least in the future.
