Very nice camera. This is my first camera and I am loving the images coming straight from the camera itself. No complains as such. I love how intuitive the menu and settings are, makes the whole experience for a beginner so much better.An incredible camera, very good quality materials, lightweight, full of features, great image quality and the auto focus is unbelievable, I am really happy with this purchase, so much better than my brother's nikon z50Takes great photos and not so bad videos. Terrible in low light with the kit lens (which is a waste of money) using a different lens made it much better. Overall I’m keeping the camera but will be purchasing a better one in the future.This is the first Canon camera that I have had a chance to review.It is also the first camera in my possession to have the auto focus phase comparison feature.It is a substantial handful of quality, from the simple yet very fine RF-S18-45mm Lens to the distinct advantage of having dual pixel automatic focus. That is one of the advantages of a mirror-less camera such as this Canon EOS R-10.AF or Auto Focus:What exactly is dual pixel AF?Well, that is deep subject!(:-) Dual Pixel AF (Auto Focus) involves the latest in hardware and software technologies. In layman's terms it is a comparison system that measures the plus or minus differences in phase between two rays of light emanating from the same source or subject.It is the plus or minus phase difference that tells the camera lens to move out or inward to acquire the best focus on the selected subject. It does this and does it very well indeed. It is almost like magic. It adds greatly to the joys of picture taking and those moments requiring quick and impulsive image capturing.That might be the best feature that I can point out that makes this a good starter camera for a serious novice.It is my first camera with such an amazing feature.A Little Side trip In Nostalgia:I have had many great cameras in my bag over the many years of picture taking.My uncle was a Master Photographer in the Chicago area and best known for his baby portraits. I would take his advice on camera selection so I had Canon, Leica, Rolliecord, Voigtlander Vitessa, in my armory of fine cameras...all back in the days of film and the various varieties such as type of color, width, speed, etc.Whew, makes you appreciate a fine digital camera such as this Canon offering and the wonderful world of digital technology. All contribute greatly to picture taking. It makes an avocation or vocation really easy and enjoyable by allowing you more time to concentrate on creating an artistic capture.This camera will do all of that for you and much more.I must admit that it took me a while to learn the menu and mode on this fine Canon camera.Next it was getting familiar with the button layout. I had to teach my self and practice to refrain from inadvertently hitting the lock button. Once you train your 'pinky' there is no more problem.I will add some pictures of Fall landscapes in the very near future as a followup to this five star review on the excellent Canon EOS R-10. Over the period of time that I have been using and testing this camera I have developed a strong affinity...not exactly a love affair but close.There is a very minor point to make. It is not a misrepresentation by the manufacturer but only a pecyune observation. In 4K Video the image appears to be slightly cropped.All is fine in still image or photo mode. I am using the camera exclusively for still image work but the video that this R-10 produces is awesome!The Canon EOS R-10 is a sensational all around camera and like I said before I am becoming more attached to it by the day. The more that I use it the stronger the bond between us. It is almost effortless photography.The camera comes with a fine Canon battery charger. You should charge all batteries on receipt. After that follow the camera prompt so that battery life is extended.There are also the customary cables for hooking it up to a PC or TV, Video Projector, or what have you?A warranty, a very cleary written instruction booklet in several languages. I speak English and was relieved that it was there. I was disappointed that there was no Pig Latin. I have my Masters in Pig Latin.(:-))))If you are a pro that is seeking a lighter in weight mirror less camera, or a beginner that is willing to read and learn something new, then this camera is for you! It represents value because of the name alone. It is all quality from the physical construction of the body, sensible location of all controls and access panels, and the quality of the RF-S18-45mm Lens.In my estimation it is all value.If you are ready to spend a little more for lasting quality and service...then look no further. Five Stars for the Canon EOS R-10.I feel like Canon had me in mind when they designed this camera.By way of background, I picked up the EOS R10 (with 18mm-45mm lens) to replace my Fujifilm X-E3, which is about four years old now. I am not an expert photographer nor even an "enthusiast." My use case is that I want a camera to bring with me on vacation to get some high-quality shots where my phone just won't do it justice and to use at home on special occasions. I want something really easy to use (basically point-and-shoot) but maybe with some room to grow if I decide to dive a bit deeper.The R10 delivers. It's a great little camera that feels really solid in your hands, but doesn't weigh so much as to be a bother. The touchscreen is really responsive and folds out (and flips) for selfies--this feature is, embarrassingly, much more useful than I anticipated. The Canon app is much easier to use and more responsive than the Fuji app, and comes in handy for its remote shoot functionality (you can actually buy a dedicated remote for this, but I haven't yet).I've found the autofocus to be great, whether with a moving subject (dog, kid, etc.) or a vista with multiple focus points (e.g. a landscape shot). Canon has really dialed in its autofocus algorithm because I've not had to think about it at all.The camera includes a few useful built-in picture modes plus some fun extras (like a "miniatures" mode that makes everything look like it's at the scale of a model train). I haven't had the chance to fully explore these yet, but so far the landscape and portrait settings work great.It's not rated as waterproof or dustproof (unlike it's pricier cousin, the R7), but I've had zero issues so far and, frankly, I don't use it in tough environments enough to worry. The biggest "ding" has got to be the lack of image stabilization (again, available in the R7), which would be nice--even for stills, but especially for video. For what it's worth, I haven't noticed the lack of image stabilization in my usage so far.Also, one note that mattered not-at-all to me: there is no headphone jack (but there is a mic jack), so I don't think this is the camera to buy if you are looking to use it for videography.For enthusiasts, I think the draw of the R10 is going to be getting into the RF mount at this price-point. Frankly, it's tough to beat and if you are decently serious, then the R10 might work well as a second camera that you use keep with a "pancake" lens. For about $500 more, though, you can scoop the R7, which is similar but has a higher quality (metal) body with some dust/water protection, image stabilization, more MP (33 instead of 24), and uncropped 4k/60p video.So, basically, this is a great camera to get if you want in on the Canon system and either don't need or don't have the budget for extras like a really high-end image sensor, dust/waterproofing, image stabilization, and uncropped 4k/60p video. If you need those things, you should seriously consider the R7 for about $500 more.Easy to use best for beginners as name revalutionary productnice mirrorless camera, clicks superb pic
