Canon announces EOS R100 camera and RF 28mm f2.8 pancake lens

Canon’s newest entry-level EOS R System mirrorless camera has been designed to effortlessly capture special moments and is small enough to carry on any family adventure. Canon also demonstrates its commitment to expanding the advanced range of RF prime lenses with the launch of the RF 28mm f2.8 STM – the smallest and lightest RF lens yet.


EOS R100

A family-friendly, user-friendly and budget-friendly camera for capturing family moments and trips, the EOS R100 is a small APS-C mirrorless camera. It's a highly portable option for beginners looking to improve image and video quality that’s beyond the capabilities of their smartphone.

Simplicity is the name of the game with the EOS R100, with features hand-picked to provide optimal handling and usability. There’s a built-in Feature guide and graphic-style menu to get to grips with this camera, as well as a bundle of features to enhance your creativity and images, such as Creative Assist and Creative Filters.

The EOS R100 has a bright 2.36m electronic viewfinder for comfortable viewing, as well as a fixed 3-inch rear LCD screen for a larger view of settings and image preview.

When capturing family and friends, this camera will keep track of faces and even eyes thanks to Canon’s intelligent Face detection + tracking focusing system. It's powered by a DIGIC 8 processor, enabling speeds of up to 6.5 frames per second, and has an optimised APS-C (1.6x crop) sensor that's been modified from the popular EOS M50 Mark II.


RF 28mm f2.8 STM

The Canon RF 28mm STM pancake lens is an incredibly compact and lightweight prime lens for the EOS R system. With a wide angle fixed focal length of 28mm and fixed maximum aperture of f2.8, it’s the ideal walk-around lens – whether you’re in the city, on holiday or capturing everyday life. It has three precision molded (PMo) elements, including new ’seagull-shaped’ lens elements which are rectangular rather than circular.


OC-E4A off-camera shoe cord

Alongside the new camera and lens, Canon has also announced a specialist accessory for EOS R system cameras which feature the new multi-function hotshoe. The OC-E4A off-camera shoe cord is compatible at launch with the EOS R3, EOS R6 Mark II, EOS R7, EOS R8, EOS R10 and EOS R50 cameras. It's slightly longer than the OC-E3 at 80cm, giving you freedom to take your flash and other accessories off-camera. Thanks to the multi-function shoe, it can also power selected accessories (not flashguns) from the camera.
 
 
All three products are expected to be available from the end of June 2023 as follows:
• The EOS R100 is priced at £669.99 / €769.99.
• The RF 28mm f2.8 STM is priced at £344.99 / €389.99.
• The OC-E4A is priced at £229.99 / €259.99.
