When the ground-breaking Canon Digital Rebel (aka the EOS 300D) was launched back in 2003 for $999 ($999), it was a major milestone as the first digital SLR with kit lens for under a grand, paving the way for more affordable yet well-specced consumer digital cameras for would-be photo enthusiasts. Roll on to 2023, and the new entry-level Canon EOS R100 mirrorless could well have the same impact. It’s a basic, budget camera ideal for beginners.
At only $599 (or £669) RRP with the RF-S 18-45mm kit lens, the EOS R100 is competitively priced – especially compared to the next camera up the pecking order, the Canon EOS R50 with RF-S 18-45mm kit which is $200 more at $799/£899.
