Canon EOS R10 24.2MP compact mirrorless camera

This compact mirrorless camera pairs a responsive body with a versatile zoom to cover travel, wildlife and everyday shooting. The Canon EOS R10 with the RF-S 18-150mm IS STM lens offers fast autofocus and 4K capture, making it suitable for hybrid stills and video use while keeping the kit lightweight for carry.

Key Points

The camera uses Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, which tracks people, animals and vehicles across the frame for dependable subject detection. It can shoot at up to 23 frames per second with the electronic shutter or 15 frames per second using mechanical shutter speeds, allowing you to freeze fast action or capture decisive moments. The RF-S 18-150mm IS STM lens provides a broad focal range for landscape scenes and close-ups, and its seven‑blade circular aperture helps produce pleasant out-of-focus highlights for creative portraiture. For close-up work the lens reaches a maximum magnification of 0.59x at 35mm when using manual focus.

Benefits

Autofocus performance is a clear strength, with face and eye detection that simplifies tracking people during events or casual shoots. The camera’s compact format and the single-lens zoom reduce the need to change lenses on the go, which is helpful when moving between different scenes. Image stabilisation in the lens aids hand-held shooting, especially at longer focal lengths, and the STM mechanism supports relatively quiet focusing that is beneficial for video recording.

Practical Tips

When shooting fast action, try the electronic shutter and higher frame rates to capture sequences where subtle differences matter. For portraits and blurred-background effects, use the longer focal lengths and wider aperture ranges offered by the zoom to isolate subjects. Consider switching to manual focus for close-up work to exploit the lens’s 0.59x magnification and get fine control over focus. Note that, according to the manufacturer, the maximum aperture varies across the zoom range from f/3.5 to f/6.3, which may affect low-light performance at the telephoto end.
