I like these “checkmark” videos that compare camera bodies. They’re serious and humorous at the same time.

I've bought R50 and RF 28 because I was tired carrying my R5 every day. Love it, simply the best! It's light, it is super easy to use. Super happy with the results.

[chelseat]

As a beginner this is exactly the video I needed! Fun, easy to follow along and understand, and the check boxes made it super easy to keep up with differences. I was debating between the 50 and 10 and I think for me it makes more sense to get the 50 to learn on and spend more on decent lenses.

My son has a R10 and I have a Sony A74 (full frame) his photos can easily compete and better mine, we were taking photos of wild monkeys in Kyushu Japan last summer and his photos here insanely good and the extra reach of APSC helped as well. Full frame snobbery is not all it’s cracked up to be.

I have an Canon R100. I use an RF 100-400mm f5.6-8 IS USM, EF 100mm f2.8 macro lens with an adapter. I used to have a 24-105mm EF lens that I gave to my mom (paired with a Canon T7). I am saving up for the RF-s Sigma 18-50mm f2.8. I shoot mainly flowers and foliage with my R100. I love my R100 as I am a hobby photographer and the R100 did not break the bank. The R100 is my first mirrorless camera. Coming from the T7, 5D mark ii and iii I love the digital viewfinder as it shows me what Iam getting in the photo no guess work needed. My R100 definitely takes better photos (paired with a good $600. lens) than my iPhone 15 Pro Max.

I'm a proud owner of R10. Easy pick for me, I highly recommend.this plastic beauty.

[theresalevans]

I'll keep my M50 mark 1 and 2 for awhile yet. Still photography only for me, so they suit me just fine.

Got an R50 a couple of weeks ago as a backup and smaller travel setup to my R5 and have been loving it. Patiently waiting for 2.8 options for the RF-S.

I am not a professional photographer just a hobbyist who second shoots every so often with my professional photographer daughter. I bought the R100 for two reasons I saw one used at my local camera shop for $276 and I have owned some rebel cameras and to me the R100 is basically a mirrorless rebel camera. I use my daughters ef to rf adapter so it didn’t cost me anything. I also chose to buy some adapters o i could use vintage film camera lenses. I realize not everyone will make the choices I do but if you focus on making great images use what you have.

I bought an r50 last month. I’m not a photographer like that by any means but I do like taking meaningful photos and it’s def way better than a phone. I’ve really enjoyed taking it out. Super light, agile and very capable. I’d say it’s worth the money

[andremahlmann]

I will buy a new Canon in a few days! You helped me so much im my decision! Thank you Jared!

Listen to Fro, people, glass is super important. I've never been happier with any camera than the R6mII, but that's only because I got two nice zoom lenses 24-70mm and 70-200mm f2.8. Those are amazing and cover basically all my needs. I will get a better macro lens than the 35mm f1.8 at some point (which I only ever use for macro shooting), and I borrow a 10-20 f4 whenever I need one, but if I only ever could own two lenses, it would be those two because without them the R6 would be useless.
Any of those lenses would give most people such amazing results with all three of the bodies shown im this video, and that's why glass is super important. 😅

[verlynseverson]

Maybe the checks marks don't mean much but I liked it and I love the breakdown on these three cameras. It's rock solid and you can make a clear decision after watching this video. Thanks for this.

Warning to others who are thinking about buying the R50/R10, do not buy it with the kit lens, they are absolutely terrible with image quality. Doesn’t matter so much for those considering a R100 cause if you’re buying that I don’t think this is something you would notice to begin with. The RFS 18-45 is a pain in the butt to use, you have to turn it to start shooting, otherwise it’s like you still have the lens cap on, the barrel extends outwards a lot as you zoom out. Buy these bodies on its own and go for the new Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 if you need a zoom lens, you won’t kick yourself later for having it. Otherwise go for the budget prime RF24, 28, 35, 50mm lenses for amazing sharpness and image quality. The RF28 & 50mm makes the most sense size wise to go on these bodies, the others protrude out the front quite a bit and makes the camera extremely front heavy and a bit awkward looking.
This is just speaking from personal experience, got the R50 and not a day goes by where I don’t wish I never got the kit lens. I got the RF24mm f1.8 because I needed something for night photography, I was blown away at how much sharper the images were compared to the kit lenses. I liken it to going from SDTV to HDTV😂😂
For people who have genuine interest in photography and looking to start on lower budget but perhaps grow into higher quality cameras later on, don’t go with the RFS lenses.

[amermeleitor]

Thanks! I couldn't find if R10 have or not a full mechanical shutter! You saved me!

[game]

I bought the R50 at a great price when they had all the reps at my local camera store for $604 that is with kit lens and tax. I think it is the best bang for your buck of the 3

[HeadlessChickenTO]

I run my R7 as my primary, but I still have my old M50 around as a secondary/backup. My R7 is still relatively light and small enough for running and gunning or travel. But it's nice to know that I still have a smaller, lighter option. I probably won't be ditching my M50 for an R50, but I am keeping an eye out for an R6mkII to have a full frame in my kit.

[habchyvlog]

R50 came in between r100 and r10 and can record video 4k 30fps thats so good. And the r50 have many videos options. I have both r50 and r10 I prefer r50 for the product mode idk what the exact name but its so good.

[rusty]

Love my R50, my dad’s R10 is also amazing. I highly recommend both

[energieinfo]

My opinion:
Vari angel LCD is a source of joy for lots of situations where you cannot use the EVF or look at the display so for me absolutely essential.
Touch LCD is natural, so a no brainer to mee too.
4k oversampled video might be the main differentiator for those who are in video. R100 has the awkward contrast detect of the M50 (if I understood the Canon information correctly) for its 4k cropped video: far away from DPAF + mostly annoying crop.
I would strongly prefer the R50 over R100 if you need increased display usability + the potential of high quality 4k movie.
EDIT: Forgotten to say: Always a good and enjoying video - Thanks.
