I'm very happy with my new R10 camera. This is an upgrade from a 20+ year old T2i, and what an upgrade. I'm using my old EF lenses with an adapter, they work great.

Camera arrived looking brand new, but after turning it on for the first time i noticed hundreds of little colorful dot all over the screen. I dont want to return it but now im stuck sending it in for screen repair and waiting even longet to actually enjoy the camera...im a little upset about that. I thought canons quality control would have been better.

My refurbished R10 arrived quickly and appeared to be in new condition. Where it excel, as many have noted, is with its auto focus. I'm using it with the RF100-400 and RF100-500 for bird photography. Where it comes up short is with the very loud mechanical shutter that is probably causing shutter shock that is responsible for some blurring in images. Using electronic shutter gets you the usual bending lines due to its slow read out speed. The kit lens is...really pretty mediocre. I'm hoping we'll get those higher quality third party lenses soon for our Canon RF-S cameras. Or, if Canon wanted to give us an update of their old EF 17-55 F2.8 that'd be even more awesome.

This is a nice APC setup for lighter, more compact carry situations. Still can use full frame RF lenses with the increased reach of a crop factor of 1.6 applied. Makes a good compliment to my full frame R cameras and is small enough not to be obtrusive in travel/vacation situations. God features for the most part. Would be nice if it had IBIS, but for this price, having stabilization on the lens works very well. Lens is plenty sharp and has a good range of focal lengths. Paired with a WA, makes a great travel setup with Canon quality and compatibility. Uses a different battery than my FF, but not a real big problem in general.

I am just learning about real photography, and the photos have all come out better than anything I have taken before. This is a great starter kit. I will upgrade and add to it as I learn more.

unit was received damaged (LCD screen, more than 15 dead pixels) despite assurances that the refurbishment process would catch these issues. Returned for free through RMA process, but took nearly two weeks to get an RMA, label generated, and credit issued

I love this Camera! It's works great! Very lightweight and easy to carry around on vacation. It looks new out of the box. So far, all of my photos have been sharp and clear with the kit lens. I did own the 80D, but that camera was simply too heavy to lug around all day. I took some 4K60 videos, they are very clear and looks nice on my 4K tv. I don't mind the crop factor, I can work around that as I have the RF 10-18 on order. Overall, I'm really happy with this purchase I bought it on sale for $599.

Great value. Takes great photos and it looks like it was completely unused. A few stuck pixels on the back screen, but pictures are perfect. And the stuck pixels are now only noticeable if you go looking for them. I'll certainly take that trade-off for buying refurbished at a substantial discount vs brand new. Can't speak to the kit lens as I purchased a faster lens in roughly the same focal range to pair with this camera. Still working through customization options and other features, but so far, I like what I've seen and I have no major complaints. I really appreciate how light the mirrorless bodies and lenses are together. I used to have a 77D and EF lenses - what a difference in weight!

I got one of these after using the same old Canon DSLR for about 14 years. I'm so happy with this camera, and it's convinced me that gear makes a difference. The game-changers for me are previewing the exposure of the image through the viewfinder, the autofocus (especially animal and eye detection), and the depth-of-field display simulation setting (you can see the depth of field constantly instead of having to hold down a button or review each image after taking it). The kit lens is lightweight and practical. The battery life is pretty great when taking photos, but it will run out quickly if you record long videos. No issues with the refurbished model-it looks and works like new.

The camera buying process is not an easy one. I was a bit of a newbie when I began my research, but I'd call myself an intermediate. I had done some photography using my school's cameras before, but this blew me away. I was worried this was too inexpensive compared to other higher-end alternatives, but I made the right decision. The camera is excellent for any type of photography. I have to do a lot of school sports, and I've never had any issues. The kit lens covers anything I need. I might get a zoom lens down the line, but for everyday use, it's fantastic. The automatic modes have improved so much on newer cameras that there's hardly a need to adjust many settings on your own. I think anybody who got this would love it, and I would buy this over any camera in this price range.

Camera bought in February 2023. I was actually contemplating the move to mirrorless for some time then (from trusty old 50D supplementing 5Dm2) and was evaluating whether I should get The R7 (which several people were discouraging me against) or R10. Eventually I settled for R10 reasoning it would be pretty much a stop-gap before I decide it is wirth to get a mirrorless FF camera. Boy, I was in for a surprise! Despite its price, the camera doesn't feel cheap in any way. Sure, it may not have weather sealing, nickel-alloy body, two card slots and a battery, that can be treated seriously, but what it offers is worth every penny. And it offers A LOT. For starters 12 fps burst rate with UHS-II compatible card slot when used wisely will let you forget there's actually buffer limit. And image quality is more than decent - maybe not perfect, but for the price you get a proven sensor, latest imaging processor and very fine focusing and subject tracking. In fact fine enough to ditch my DSLRs and use the camera for almost a full year. With RF 18-150 lens it weights barely over 1 kg. It has wireless connectivity out of the box and works excellent with remote control software. Also it can operate and charge from an USB power bank - and that alone makes that tiny battery far less of a burden to the point you actually stop caring. I also got it with EF mount ring which made the transition even smoother. Needless to say, it works perfect with every EF/EF-S lens I had. What I don't like: - RF-S lenses move vignetting to almost an artistic level. Sure, you can fix it in postprocessing - especially when you're shooting RAW mainly, but that requires lens definitions/references and they're NOT perfect as of yet (even Canon's own DPP software can get illumination correction VERY wrong); - the flash is a nice addition, but what R10 has is bare minimum and, as with many new Canon cameras, third-party lamps are pretty much hit-or-miss; - the camera is in general very responsive, but it does have a noticeable shutter lag and digital shutter is usable for static shots mostly - sensor readout is just too slow.

At the time I purchased, the R10 with RF-S 18-45mm kit was on sale for a lower price than body only which is why I bought it. I would otherwise not recommend the kit lens if you have other options as the 18-45mm is chintzy, dim, and really not wide enough for a standard zoom. If you stop down, the center sharpens up nicely, but the corners don't really and it is a very limiting lens. That said, the R10 is fantastic. Plastic fantastic, but still fantastic. It doesn't feel premium in any way, but it still feels like it will hold up to regular use. It's very compact and light, but quite capable with great autofocus and a comfortable hand grip and ergonomics with all the buttons and dials and joysticks and burst mode you expect from a more expensive camera. Image quality is really nice, too. My biggest wishes are for weather sealing so I could use it comfortably year-round in the Pacific Northwest, though Canon frustratingly doesn't really offer any compact weather-sealed lenses, for better battery life, and a quieter shutter. The mechanical shutter seriously is so loud and unpleasant, and the e-shutter is not very usable due to slow readout speed.

Great light weight camera perfect for traveling or any activity that requires having a camera with you for a long period of time. Camera was packed perfectly and I could not tell that it was refurbished. Pictures have great color saturation with bright punchy exposures. A perfect experience dealing with Canon USA direct.

When they say there is no weather-proofing that's absolutely true, even to the point of humidity/fog. I'm unsure which, but it was never near water/rain, stopped working after a month and after going through the process of sending it in (which you pay for, even when within warranty), I was told there was evidence of corrosion. I received the camera back after almost a month within this process. I've been using another brand dslr for 12 years in all conditions, absolutely no issues. I was wanting to switch to Canon after a lot of reading, but I'll sell the lenses and go back to the other company I'm not allowed to name.

I previously reviewed this camera and only gave it 3 stars. One of my reasons for that rating was a problem I had with the R10 introducing chromatic aberration in JPEGs using my Tokina 10-17mm F3.5-4.5 Fisheye lens. Today I spoke with a Canon tech, and he instructed me how to correct the problem. Canon has no way for me to edit old reviews, so the best I can do is to make a new review. The tech instructed me to turn off lens aberration correction in camera menu 5. It was set to "standard" and the Camera said, "No Data, unable to correct". After I disabled this option, more options came up. Chromatic aberration was listed as "on". After I turned that option "off", the camera no longer introduces unwanted chromatic aberrations in JPEGs with my Tokina fisheye lens. Therefore, there is a way to fix the problem, it just requires more work. Canon has always had good technical service. That is very important with today's increasingly complex cameras. They are to be commended for that. I still have issues with the R10. They are mostly related to the small size of the R10. I keep hitting buttons I don't want to, and it is hard to use the very small knobs. The built-in flash is very underpowered and does not pop up very high, leading to the front of adapted lenses shading the built-in flash. The underpowered flash pushes the camera to use very high ISOs, which affects image quality. The R10 actually handles high ISOs pretty well, so most users will be pleased with their flash pictures. 3 of the 4 native RF-S lenses that Canon currently sells for the R10 are very slow (F4.5-6.3 or F5.0-7.1). I purchased the only native RF-S lens with a decent maximum aperture, the Canon 18-150mm F3.5-6.3. It covers a wide focal length range that covers most shooting situations. It operates well with the built-in flash. It is fairly heavy, so it unbalances the camera when hanging from my neck because the R10 body is so light. Adapted lenses are even more front heavy. Because of the very small selection of native RF-S lenses, and the very slow apertures of those that Canon does sell, I tend to usually use adapted DSLR lenses on the R10, which are out of proportion to the size of the diminutive R10. It is apparent that Canon wants to encourage users to use full frame RF lenses on the R10, hoping they will upgrade later to a full frame body. While I was hoping the R10 could replace my Canon 70D it really can't. The body is just too small, with all the problems I mentioned. It appears to be a replacement for the M cameras which Canon recently discontinued. This unfortunately leaves all Canon M customers with the unhappy prospect of starting a whole new system, because M lenses can't be mounted on RF or RF-S bodies & it leaves partial frame DSLR users, like me, with no good larger size mirrorless option with a decent built-in flash. When you do all or nothing thinking, you usually end up with nothing. Therefore, at the present time, the R10 is the best Canon mirrorless body available with a built-in flash, despite its weaknesses. The camera does take good pictures if the light is not too contrasty. It does not do well in contrasty light. It is a highly capable camera with many high-end features. The manual is over 900 pages. I am still learning how to use it after 5 months. if you have a lot of full frame EF mount DSLR lenses, the Metabones .71X Ultra Speedbooster works well with the R10, even off brand lenses. All 3rd party partial frame lenses come with EF mounts, not EF-S mounts so they also will work with the speedbooster & many even cover the full frame. The speedbooster compresses the image circle of full frame lenses to fit the smaller partial frame R10 sensor. Effective focal length range of the converted lens is very close to what you see in the viewfinder of a 35mm film camera, but it will be less than if you mounted the lens on a full frame mirrorless body, like the Canon R6 Mk II. Film camera viewfinders crop the image compared to what is recorded on the film. Film gets cropped when printed, scanned or mounted in slide mounts. The viewfinder shows you effective output. Mirrorless cameras, on the other hand, crop nothing, so they change the effective focal length range of full frame lenses compared to when used on a 35mm film body. A 28-80mm lens on a full fame mirrorless body will act like a 26-73mm lens on a 35mm film camera body. I prefer the output of the speedbooster, because it gives me almost identical results as when used on the 35mm film camera that I purchased those lenses for. The speedbooster is shorter than the Canon EF-RF adapter, thus I get no shading from the front of my 28-80mm full frame lens when used on the R10 with the built-in flash. The 1 stop aperture boost is a nice extra. Partial frame DSLR lenses used on a R6 Mk II get cropped to less than 10MP. On the R10 they are 24MP with the Canon EF-RF adapter, & full frame lenses are 24MP when used with the speedbooster. It is a win-win.

I have had this camera about 5 months now. I have discovered most of its strengths & weaknesses. It is capable of excellent work under good lighting conditions; however, it struggles in contrasty light. Highlights get washed out & shadows are very dark. Detail can't be recovered Photoshop. Lightened shadows become gray & very grainy with no detail. Available light pictures have acceptable, but not great color under fluorescent lighting & highlights exhibit little detail. My main objections to the camera are related to its very small size. Canon currently only makes 4 RF-S lenses for it & 3 of the 4 are extremely slow (F4.5-6.3 or F5.0-7.1). I bought the 18-150mm lens because it was the only one with a decent aperture, F3.5 at wide angle. All the other RF-S lenses look like toys with dime sized front elements. Because the body is so small it is hard to use the small knobs & switches. I keep hitting buttons I don't want to, especially when I take vertical pictures. The built-in flash doesn't pop up very high & it is very underpowered. my partial fame Canon 70D's built in flash has 2 1/2 times the power. This makes the camera use very high ISOs for flash, which hurts image quality & flash range. It actually does better than I expected because the camera seems to handle high ISOs fairly well. Because of the limited lens selection of RF-S lenses, with most being horribly slow, I mostly use DSLR lenses with the EF-RF adapter. All my DSLR zoom lenses vignette with the built-in flash because it doesn't pop up high enough. Only my 22mm pancake doesn't vignette with the built-in flash. All these problems could have been avoided if the body were larger. Non-native EF & EF-S lenses with an adapter on such a small body create balance issues. Even the native EF-S 18-150mm lens balances poorly on the R10, because the lens is fairly long & it is pretty heavy. The biggest problem I found is that when I use my Tokina 10-17mm F3.5-4.5 fisheye lens & I take a picture with the EF-RF adapter the JPEG has serious chromatic aberration, but It is not coming from the lens. This lens works perfectly on my Canon 70D or if I use it with a Metabones Speedbooster on the R10, instead of with the Canon EF-RF adapter. There is no CA in the raw file. I will attach both pictures to illustrate this problem. The JPEG with CA is an, out of the camera, JPEG & the one with no CA is a JPEG converted from raw. I took the picture as Raw + JPEG. Both the Canon 10-18mm & 18-45mm RF-S lenses produce serious barrel distortion (& probably CA) that get corrected in-camera by the processing engine, when output as JPEGs. I learned this on reviews of those 2 lenses. Such an approach is less than ideal. A poor lens corrected digitally is not as good as a good lens that needs no correction. The R10 processing engine must be trying to correct non-existent CA in my Tokina lens & is therefore introducing CA as a result. That is the only way this can happen. I have shot professionally, so I am technologically proficient enough to shoot raw & convert the file to a JPEG to prevent this problem, amateurs are not. With the exception of the problems I mentioned, all my Canon EF & EF-S lenses & all my off-brand EF mount lenses work very well with the Canon EF-RF adapter. They all auto-focus well. All of my full frame Canon & off-brand lenses & 3 of my 4 off-brand partial frame lenses, that fill a full frame, work well using the Metabones Speedbooster on the R10. In fact some work better. My 28-80mm full fame kit lens does not vignette with the R10's built-in flash with the speedbooster because the speedbooster is shorter than the Canon EF-RF adapter & the 28-80mm full fame lens is shorter at wide angle than the partial frame equivalent 18-55mm lens is at wide angle. The R10 is a very complicated camera. The manual is over 900 pages, therefore it has a lot of capability, if you can master it. If the body were larger so it would balance well with adapted lenses so was easier to use with larger buttons & dials, it had a more powerful built-in flash & if it didn't have the CA problem with my Tokina fisheye lens I would give it a much better rating.

I bought the R10 with 18-150mm lens kit a month ago. The camera has a lot of nice features and in some circumstances takes amazing pictures. It does not do well in contrasty light, however. Highlights get washed out and shadows are really dark. Lightened the shadows in Photoshop just turns them gray. very grainy & reveals no details. But that is not the worst thing the R10 does. Now comes the ugly. When I use my Tokina 10-17mm fisheye partial frame sensor digital lens with the Canon adapter at 10mm it shows horrible chromatic aberration all across the frame at both wide & small apertures. This same lens exhibits no CA on my Canon 70D at 10mm or with my Canon 35mm camera at 15mm (the lens fills a full frame sensor at 15mm). I am attaching pictures to demonstrate this condition. I will try to include blow ups of the edge of the frame also. I have only seen this condition with my fisheye lens. It does not seem to happen with even my super wide Canon 10-22mm DSLR lens. The only way I found to use my Tokina zoom fisheye lens without this happening on the R10 is to use it with a Metabones Speedbooster with the lens zoomed to 14.5mm, instead of the regular Canon adapter. Then the images are the same coverage & look very similar to those that come out of my 20MP Canon 70D DSLR. This is obviously not caused by the lens or it would happen with my 70D at the same zoom setting. It does not. The R10 sensor is doing something weird. Incidentally, the Metabones produces amazing pictures with the R10 using full frame DSLR lenses of any make, including off brand Canon mount lenses sold for partial frame sensor DSLRs. Many of them fill a full frame sensor. It works perfectly with all my Canon EF, Sigma, Tamron & Tokina lenses with EF mount, including my Tokina zoom fisheye.

And excellent budget mirrorless camera, especially if you can catch one on deep discount during one of Canon's refurbished sales. With excellent ergonomics (compared to the R100 or R50) and reasonable compactness, especially with the bundled lens, this camera can fit in larger pockets or medium to largish purses. If you're coming from a smartphone or older DSLR/mirrorless, the autofocus will seem magical with the way it can lock onto humans, birds, or general vehicles. Excellent quality video as well, up to 4K60fps, and no artificial limits on duration. Do note though that video options while in stills/photography mode are extremely limited, and the custom C1 & C2 dial settings can only be assigned to photo mode, not video: this means quickly switching between photo and (fully customized) video is not possible on the R10, which is extremely disappointing considering how easy it is on the R7. While the bundled RF-S18-45mm lens is serviceable and worth it if the price of this bundle isn't much higher than that of body-only, I would highly recommend considering the RF-S 18-150mm bundle instead, as that lens is superior optically and much more versatile.
