The camera is almost perfect for content creators and casual shooters, but it has one key fault that could be a deal breaker for both photo and video.
Let us now see if this camera lives up to the expectations.
So the Canon R10 is part of Canon's new mirrorless lineup. It has a new body, a new sensor, new lenses, and everything in this camera reminds me a lot of the Canon M50, which was a very popular camera for both casual shooters and content creators. Canon is known for having stellar ergonomics and user friendly design in all of their cameras, and the Canon R10 does not disappoint.
It includes two bespoke command dials, as well as a mode dial with a separate photo shutter and video record button. This camera can record both images and films in manual mode, so you don't have to switch between photo and video modes.
and two of my personal favorites on this camera
One of the sites articulating screen so you can see yourself but it's also a touch screen you can use the touch screen on the back to not only operate the camera but also manage your auto focus you can simply tap on an object or yourself and it will automatically track focus to
Although the battery on the R10 is relatively meh, it still uses the older can install batteries, which doesn't last as long in the newer body. However, it does support USB type C charging, so you can just charge this camera with a phone power bank.
The only thing the R10 lacks is a vlogging grip like the ZV E10 or the Nikon Z30, but what really counts is what's on the inside.
So, let's have a look at the camera's specifications and how the images and movies turn out.
The Canon R10 has three great features that make it a great beginner camera: a great sensor with 24 megapixels and plenty of resolution for beginners and even some professionals; great canning colors that make everything look great right out of the camera, especially people and skin tone; and 14 bit rot, which gives you a lot of detail.
However, the Canon R10's slow sensor readout in electronic shutter mode causes straight lines to bend and things to look warped. This is a recurring issue with the camera.
Now, I don't believe that many novices would notice or care about the rolling shutter, but this is a very expensive camera, and for this price point, it shouldn't have this issue, and for those who don't care or don't see it, this is still an excellent action camera for sports and wildlife.
I should mention that while the R10 can shoot 15 frames per second, its frame buffer is not very large. You can only take roughly 23 shots before the camera needs to take a break. Depending on the speed of your SD card, this break could last between 3 and 7 seconds.
pertaining to your camera Most of you are probably shooting landscapes, portraits, or something cinematic and gorgeous for yourself, and you probably only need about 5 frames per second, therefore I'd recommend the Canon RP, which is also cheaper. The Canon RP has a full frame 26 megapixel sensor, which is double the sensor size of the Canon R10. With the full frame sensor, you'll get better image quality and light gathering ability, as well as a more immersive and cinematic image, and it's a camera I highly recommend to photographers who are more interested in the creative side of photography.
I'll give you some further camera recommendations.
The Canon R10 is good for video since many people see it as the next greatest camera for producers, content makers, youtubers, and vloggers, and I have a lot to say about it now.
This camera can shoot 4K at 24 and 30 frames per second, full HD at 60 frames per second for two times slow motion, and 120 frames per second for five times slow motion. I have to say that the full HD at 120 frames per second is really sharp and detailed, whereas most cameras slow motion gets a little soft and mushy.
And for those of you who edit your own videos, this camera uses I PV codec, which isn't as good as a professional all I codec but is still good enough for social media.
The fact that this Canon R10 finally has 10 bit color is one of the things I love most about it. 10 bit color is the same as what professional video cameras have, so when you shoot with this camera, you'll have the same freedom with colors as with a professional camera, and you can really color grade this thing to give it a stylized, professional look.
The last problem with the Canon R10 is that in 4K fine mode, there is a lot and I mean a lot of rolling shutter. Rolling shutter isn't new. The ZV E10 has pretty bad rolling shutter, but the ZV E10 doesn't cost as much as the R10. However, I don't think that's a deal breaker for everyone. If you shoot a lot of running gun stuff or a lot of sports stuff where you shake the camera or move around a lot
I do think this is a great camera for people who shoot more cinematic, slow-moving scenes where the camera isn't moving around a lot. You'll get a 10 bit image in 4K that's been downsampled from 7K, so who exactly is this camera for?
The Canon R10 is a great camera for beginning photographers who want to shoot anything—fast cars, sports, landscapes, etc. However, if you're more serious about portraits, landscapes, and cinematic work, I still recommend the Canon RP because it has a bigger full-frame sensor. For videos, the Canon RP is also better because it has a larger sensor.

This is a great camera for a cinematographer who will move their camera slowly and use the 10 bit color to do an interesting or stylized color grade. However, if that doesn't sound like you, I recommend getting the Fuji X S10 instead. It has a 26-megapixel APS-C size sensor, in-body stabilization, 10 bit color, 4K, and pretty much everything you want from the Canon except for good autofocus. The autofocus in the Excess 10 is 7.5 out of when it comes to video, just that 10 bit color, so
If you're not super picky about your videos and don't need big stylized color grades, that's a really good camera. Because it doesn't have a rolling shutter, it's better for travel vlogging and other things where you're moving around a lot.
But you should know that you could spend all your money on getting the nicest camera out there, but the real difference between someone who has stunning photos and videos and someone who just has a nice camera is that one person knows how to properly use their camera.
