Which should you buy?
Beginners & Vlogging — EOS M50 II (2020): Canon's most approachable mirrorless — Dual Pixel AF and beautiful colour science in a beginner-friendly body.
First Camera / Beginner Photography — EOS R100 (2023): The R100 does the basics well at the lowest possible price point. Its main value is as a gateway into the Canon RF ecosystem — the lenses you buy now will work on any Canon body you upgrade to later. Modest ambitions, reliably met.
Vloggers & Content Creators — Canon PowerShot V10 (2023): A vlog-first compact with a 1-inch sensor, front-facing screen, and Canon's Dual Pixel AF — the simplest way to create clean content on the go.
