Canon has also introduced a new 28mm F/2.8 pancake lens with the EOS R100, marking the first time the brand has launched an RF mount pancake lens for full-frame and crop sensor mirrorless cameras.
The Canon EOS R100’s 24.1-megapixel sensor allows for an ISO range of 100-12,800, and users will be able to record in 4K at up to 25fps for slow-motion and HD at up to 120fps. However, there is only digital stabilization and no in-body image stabilization (IBIS).
Being a Canon camera, the R100 includes Canon staples like Eye Detection AF and Dual Pixel CMOS AF with up to 143 AF zones.
When it comes to ergonomics and weight, the camera weighs just 356 grams, and Canon refers to it as the “smallest and lightest camera” in Canon’s R camera system. Canon claims that its textured grip helps the makers grip the camera and camera body firmly. There’s also an electronic viewfinder (EVF) with around 2.36 million dots and a pop-up flash.
Along with the EOS R100, Canon has launched the RF28mm F/2.8 Pancake lens with STM motors. It is quite compact, measuring just 25 cm in length and weighing 120 grams.
For now, the brand hasn’t revealed the prices of the newly announced products, but we can expect more details as the June 2023 release date draws closer.
