Let’s talk about the best lenses for the Canon EOS R100 camera. The Canon EOS R100 camera is the best budget entry-level camera available right now from Canon. The camera features a 24.1MP APS-C CMOS sensor and DIGIC 8 processor, so you will get great image quality from the camera. The camera also supports full HD video with Dual Pixel CMOS AF and you can also record 4K videos with a 1.55x crop.
In this post, we have selected some of the best available lenses for the Canon EOS R100 camera. These lenses can be used for shooting portraits, wedding photography, fashion, sports, or even beginner wildlife photography.
Let’s have a look at the best set of lenses available for the Canon EOS R100 camera.
1. The most affordable zoom lens 18-45mm IS STM
The best budget lens or the most usable lens for your Canon EOS R100 camera is its native kit lens, the 18-45mm IS STM. The lens features a stepping drive motor and built-in optical image stabilization to help you achieve stable shots.
In general, the quality of kit lenses is not great, but the 18-45mm IS STM lens is not among those. The quality is very good and it can be used as a general-purpose lens by beginners while they are stepping into the world of digital camera photography.
With 18mm wide coverage, you can shoot some great landscapes, architecture, or friends gathering with this camera. At 45mm, which is near about or approximately 50mm, you can click some good portraits with decent background blur. It’s not a prime lens but you will get some amazing output with this lens if used properly.
The image stabilization function of this particular lens works very effectively and it corrects up to 4 stops of shake correction when paired with the Canon EOS R100 camera body. So even if you are shooting in low light environments, the lens will help you get sharp images inside your camera.
Finally, let’s talk about the Macro lenses performance, The lens uses a center focus macro function that helps you capture close-ups up to 0.26x magnification at 45mm. And the best macro capturing range is at 35mm when the lens allows you to have a magnification ratio of 0.59x which is somewhere near to Canon macro lenses.
Overall, the kit lens’ quality is very good for beginners and it is very useful. And if you want to have some upgrades now, we are recommending some of the best prime lenses paired up with some good zoom lenses.
2. Canon RF 18-150mm Lens
The Canon has recently announced the 8.3x APS-C zoom Lens for Canon R100 that packs in a useful 29-240mm (35mm equiv.) focal length range. It’s ideal for travel, wedding photography, landscapes, garden wildlife, and sports.
If you are looking for an all-rounder long focal length zoom lens for your Canon camera, then the best option for you is the Canon RF-S 18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS STM lens. The lens gives you an awesome range of 8.3x optical zoom, starting with a wider coverage of 18mm. If you are a beginner wedding photographer or travel shooter, or even a wildlife photographer, this lens will be a highly versatile lens for your photography and videography needs.
The lens features a stepping drive STM motor that focuses really fast, with full-time accuracy and silence 1. The lens features optical image stabilization up to 4.5 stops so it helps you capture stable shots even when you are using the lens at 150mm at slower shutter speeds.
This is the only best all-in-one lens option available right now in Canon RF-S mount for its APS-C mirrorless cameras so we highly recommend that if you want an all-in-one zoom lens, the Canon RF-S 18-150mm IS STM lens is highly recommended.
The price of this lens is $499 (B&H Store and Amazon.com) You can use this lens as a default lens for your Canon R100 camera.
3. Canon RF 16mm f/2.8 STM Lens
Canon RF 16mm f/2.8 lens is the best Canon lens available right now if you want to have ultra-wide prime coverage. The lens is highly recommended for architecture, landscape, and indoor photography.
With its bright aperture of f/2.8, it allows you to capture clear images even in low light. With the 16mm focal length, corner sharpness is never an issue – from center to corner the lens is very sharp. The chromatic aberration and lens distortion are also very well controlled.
This lens features a fast and silent autofocus system, making it a perfect companion when you want to shoot high-quality family group photographs or friends gathering at night, under low light environments. This lens helps you a lot to capture well-lit images even in uncontrolled light environments.
I would say the 24mm F1.8 Macro STM lens is the most usable prime lens for a photographer with an APS-C Sensor based body like Canon R100. The eqv focal length of this lens is 38mm which is near the standard focal length of 35mm. The wide angle is ideal for landscape and street photography. This 24mm lens can be used for shooting family and friends’ portraits in a home in a low-light environment. Also perfect for capturing macro images due to its 1:2 magnification ratio and close-up shooting distance of 5.5 inches.
Perfect lens for YouTubers: You can also use this lens for your office and room vlogs, also perfect for food photography or vlogs with this lens. You have to just maintain 3 to 5 feet distance from your camera/rest your camera on a tripod, make a 3 to 5 feet distance from the camera and start making your online content with excellent sharpness and creamy bokeh in the background.
The 24mm Lens also features OIS (Optical image stabilization), for the first time I have seen Canon giving us OIS features in Prime lenses like 24mm. The OIS is effective up to 5 stops, or 6.5 stops with coordinated IS, to better enable working handheld in low-light conditions and with slower shutter speeds. Whether you are creating videos with the lens or shooting still images the OIS help all the time.
The lens is available at $499 (B&H Store and Amazon.com) You will feel the price is high. But also think twice that it’s a Fullframe lens and will remain compatible with your camera even if you upgrade your camera to full frame. And despite being a 24mm Prime lens, the lens also features OIS and macro Capability, none of such features are available even in competitors’ lenses.
5. Canon RF 35mm F1.8 Macro IS STM
Perfect for professional-quality portraits with a Canon R100 camera. The Canon RF 35mm F1.8 when paired with Canon R100 gives you an equivalent focal length of 50mm Lens in full-frame format. So it actually will act as a 50mm F1.8 with optical image stabilization and macro capability.
The size of this lens is slightly larger than the 24mm F1.8, It measures 74.4 x 62.8 mm and weighs 305g. However, this is still relatively light and compact. The lens pairs very comfortably with the canon R100 camera and has a sleek look and feel. There is a focus switch on the side of the lens, the lens does support full-time manual focus. That is, you can manually focus the lens by adjusting the focus ring even when the camera is set to autofocus.
The 35mm Lens allows you to set the MAX aperture to F1.8, which enables the lens to capture amazing low-light images in any conditions and generate pleasant, creamy bokeh-filled backgrounds. The lens features Super Spectra coating that has been applied to individual elements to reduce the ghosting and flare for greater contrast and color neutrality when working in strong lighting conditions.
$499 (Amazon.com | B&H Store) is the price of a 35mm F1.8 IS STM Macro lens, this is a very reasonable price lens if you look at its features. The lens is a Fullframe lens and features Macro capability as well as optical image stabilization. We highly recommend this lens for the Canon R100 camera.
6. Canon RF 50mm F1.8 STM Lens
If you are into portrait photography and looking for an affordable option the Canon RF50mm F1.8 Lens is best for you. The RF 50mm lens is equivalent to 85mm when paired with a Crop sensor camera like Canon R100.
The telephoto prime lens measures 69 x 40 mm and weighs 160 g. This makes it the lightest lens on our list, , balancing well with the weight of the camera. To suppresses spherical aberrations Canon has introduced One precision-molded (PMo) aspherical element inside this lens, it also upscaled the sharpness and accurate subject rendering.
The overall image quality is fantastic. You’ll love how easy it is to snap incredibly sharp, beautiful photos using this lens, and your subjects will love it even more. Although the lens has a limited Macro capability of 50cm, so if you want a better macro performing lens you have to buy the other two primes (24mm and 35mm) mentioned above in the list.
With a price tag of $199 (B&H Store | amazon.com) Canon RF 50mm, F1.8 STM Lens is the most affordable prime lens in RF lineup. The reason behind that is the lens doesn’t have the OIS like the other prime lenses as well as macro capability.
7. Canon 85mm F2 IS STM Macro
Canon 85mm F2 Macro Lens features optical image stabilization as well as a stepping drive motor. The equivalent focal length of 85mm lens on the Canon R100 body will be 136mm. It reminds me of Canon’s popular 100mm F2.8 Macro Lens. The lens can be used effectively when you want to capture wildlife beauty without disturbing them. 85mm (136mm on R100) will allow you to work from a distance and also Optical Image stabilization within. So, you can also take some amazing macro shots or portraits of models handheld.
The telephoto prime lens measures 78 x 90.5 mm and weighs 500 g. This makes it the largest and the heaviest lens on our list, Configurable Control Ring can be used to adjust a variety of exposure settings, including aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation. The rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
The lens creates creamy bokeh at F2 and is perfect for portraits, I have used this lens with a Canon R5 camera and at F3.5 to 5.6 the lens produces razor-sharp images with an exceptional amount of details resolved through the sensor. With its macro capability, the lens is able to do 1:2 maximum magnification along with a minimum focusing distance of 1.15. And the Configurable Control Ring on this lens can be used to adjust a variety of exposure settings, including aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation.
The price tag $549 (B&H Store | amazon.com) price makes this lens one of the most costly prime lenses on our list. although with Optical image stabilization, Macro capability, Steeping drive motor, and rounded nine-blade diaphragm make this lens the perfect choice for professional photographers.
8. Canon RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 USM
Prime lenses do give the best quality possible since they have minimal moving lens elements inside them optimized for best performance. However, zoom lenses like the 100-400 are also a worthwhile investment.
With prime lenses, if you want to have an optical crop you have to physically move toward your subject. This isn’t always possible depending on what or where you’re shooting. So, we have lenses like the 100-400mm (equivalent focal length 160mm – 640mm).
The resolving power of this lens is just amazing even when paired with the Canon R5 camera, lens features Max magnification up to .41X @ 400mm. So, it’s worthwhile to say the lens also has macro capability. To reduce the chromatic aberrations and color fringing throughout the zoom range the lens has One Ultra-Low Dispersion element. The lens features a built-in optical image stabilization system effective up to 4 stops.
You have to pay $599 (B&H Store | Amazon.com) to get this lens, It may look pricy to you. But the sharpness, OIS, Bokeh, and AF performance are highly impressive. Equivalent to equivalent focal length 160mm – 640mm when used with APS-C body and 100-400 when used with Fullframe.
Let’s compare the body design of both cameras. Both are very well built and made for professional shooters with a very deep hand grip and EVF. They are paired up with a variable-angle display screen to give you compositional freedom. Whether you are a photographer or a content creator, you will love the camera’s design.
1. EXTERNAL FAN
The additional advantage we have with the Fuji X-S20 camera is the ability to add an external fan in case of overheating. The external fan will lower the temperature and allow you to record more than double the available recording time.
With the Fuji X-S20 camera, we are getting dual 3.5 mm ports; one is for headphones and the other is for a microphone. The microphone port can also be used as a remote shutter port.
2. EXTENDED BATTERY LIFE
We should discuss this in the design part. We have a larger battery in the Fuji X-S20 camera. The battery allows you to capture approximately 700-800 Liveview shots in a single charge, which is double when compared to the battery life of the Canon R10 camera.
3. VLOG MODE
In vlog mode, we have a dedicated vlog mode in the camera. When you switch the mode dial button to vlog, a new content creator menu pops up. In the content creator menu, you will see 6 different blocks with different modes, including product showcase mode and face tracking priority mode made only for content creators. No content creator or cinematic menu is present in Canon R10.
Let’s talk about the internal core specification of the camera
4. SENSOR
Sensor: The Fujifilm X-S20 camera features Fuji’s popular 26-megapixel sensor. The sensor is a BSI CMOS sensor, not an FSI CMOS sensor like that of Canon R10. So while having a BSI CMOS sensor, we do expect better low-light performance with the Fujifilm X-S20 camera.
Let’s have a look at a quick high ISO test between the two. A sample captured at ISO 25600 of a Canon R10 and Fuji X-S20 camera clearly shows the advantage of having a BSI CMOS sensor while capturing images in low light.
From the high ISO test, it is very clear that Canon is not able to preserve the color details at high ISO range when compared to a Fuji sensor.
The next is autofocusing performance. Both Fuji and Canon are using their latest generation of image processors
5. IMAGE STABILIZATION
In the Fujifilm X-S20 camera, we are getting sensor-shift image stabilization system up to seven stops. Not only that, for the first time in a Fuji camera, we have a dedicated menu to adjust the image stabilization setting according to our needs. No sensor-shift image stabilization system is present in the Canon R10 camera
6. BURST MODE
The next visible difference between these two cameras is the burst speed or the continuous shooting speed. With the Canon R10 camera and its 24-megapixel resolution, you can achieve a burst speed of up to 24 frames per second. With the Fujifilm X-S20 camera, the maximum burst speed available is 30 frames per second with crop and without crop at full resolution up to 20 frames per second.
While using the mechanical shutter, the Canon R10 allows you to capture 12 frames per second and the Fuji X-S20 camera allows you to capture 8 frames per second.
Buffer memory of Fuji X-S20 camera is more compared to Canon R10, its clearly visible in the table below.
Fuji X-S20
Canon R10
10 FPS
1000+ JPG — 341 RAW
15 FPS
460 JPG — 29 RAW
20 FPS
256 JPG — 79 RAW
23 FPS
70 JPG — 21 RAW
30 FPS (1.25x crop)
407 JPG — 88 RAW
7. AUTO-FOCUSING SYSTEM
Canon R10 arrives with its popular second-generation dual pixel CMOS autofocusing sensor and more than 5000 autofocusing points fabricated inside the sensor. Furthermore, the camera uses 3700 DPAF points while recording video. To simplify it for its users, Canon grouped the points into 651 autofocusing zones.
Now, the Fujifilm X-S20 camera may not be able to match the number of DPAF points, but for the first time, it uses the most advanced artificial intelligence tracking system available inside Fuji. Fujifilm engineers directly used the artificial intelligence AI algorithm of the Fuji X-H2S camera in the Fuji X-S20. This AI enhances the overall performance of the camera and now the camera is even able to track moving drones and insects without an issue. The X-S20 now also features product showcase mode and face AF tracking priority mode.
So more or less both of these cameras have their own advantages and disadvantages when it comes to autofocusing performance.
8. VIDEO
The Fujifilm X-S20 camera is able to shoot 6.2K open gate in 3:2 format at the rate of 30 frames per second. So that’s the maximum resolution available in the Fujifilm X-S20. Now when you want to record in a standard format, that is in 16:9, the resolution drops to 5.2K. So that’s the maximum standard resolution available inside the Fujifilm X-S20 camera. None of these high-resolution modes are available in Canon R10.
The Fuji X-S20 camera is able to record uncropped 4K 60p video as well as full HD videos at the rate of 240 frames per second. Canon R10 fails to impress us as we have to face a 1.6x crop while recording 4K 60 frames of video. At the same time, only a 120 frames per second option is available at full HD format inside Canon R10.
And the biggest difference that will shock you is that no C-Log format is available. Yes, you are able to record 10-bit only in HDR PQ mode in Canon R10, whereas in the Fujifilm X-S20 cameras F-Log and F-Log 2 are both available. In F-Log 2 curve, you are able to extract 13+ stops of dynamic range and at the same time, a 12-bit raw output is available via the HDMI port.
For content creators, we have a dedicated content creator menu and again dedicated autofocusing modes. Not only that but the advanced cinematography and content creation are being backed by the sensor-shift image stabilization of the camera.
For super cinematographers, content creators, and wedding videographers, the Fuji X-S20 camera is the best choice.
So for cinematographers containing creators and wedding video graphs for Fuji x as 20 cameras is the best choice
9. LENSES
Fujifilm X-mount is an open mount and we have a huge range of lenses available and more are coming. At the same time, the Canon RF mount is a locked mount and has a very limited range of lenses available for the APS-C range. If you move towards the DSLR lenses, then you have to be very careful while picking them up since the lenses with STM motors are fully compatible and the older lenses with USM motors will create noise, and not all of them are optimized for dual pixel CMOS autofocusing sensor
10. PRICE DIFFERENCE
We do have a good price difference between these two cameras. If you are on a very tight budget and not able to spend extra on lenses, then you may stay with the Canon R10 camera. But if your budget allows, I highly recommend you to get the Fujifilm X-S20
Fuji announced a new X-X20 camera today, the successor of the Fuji X-S10 camera, Although the camera features the same sensor, but the overall specs of the camera are upscaled, after the intro of the new X-processor 5. Take a look at the Major features of the camera

There are a lot of rumors that the Canon R1 camera was recently spotted at the Hiroshima G7 summit. We have many blog posts and videos going viral on this topic. But if you look at the image closely, you will see a Canon R3 camera-type body attached to a small rig 3884.
Many websites and videos are claiming that the top design of the camera has been changed and that’s the reason it is a Canon R1 camera. But, unfortunately, it is just a Canon R3 camera with a small rig cage and nothing else. We cannot find any significant major design difference between the two.
