Canon EOS R100

The EOS R100, also released in 2023, sits at the absolute entry point of Canon's RF-mount lineup — a stripped-down, budget-focused body carrying a 24.1-megapixel APS-C sensor and a deliberately basic feature set aimed at first-time interchangeable-lens buyers stepping up from a phone camera on a tight budget.

The R100 omits a touchscreen entirely, relying on physical buttons and a d-pad for menu navigation at a time when touch control had become standard even on entry-level bodies — a real, deliberate cost-cutting choice that keeps the R100 at Canon's lowest RF-mount price point, though it makes menu navigation noticeably slower than on the R50 or R10. It also ships without a fully mechanical shutter option in some configurations and with a more limited native RF-S lens selection at launch, further underscoring its position as Canon's absolute budget floor rather than a general enthusiast recommendation.

Canon also limited the R100 to a single UHS-I SD card slot and a smaller battery than its RF-mount siblings, further deliberate cost reductions consistent with its position as Canon's absolute entry-level mirrorless body.
