Which should you buy?
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.
Sports & Photojournalism Professionals — Canon EOS R3 (2021): The pinnacle of Canon's mirrorless lineup for speed — Eye Control AF and 30fps burst in the most rugged body Canon has ever produced.
Collectors, Fine Art & V-System Users — Hasselblad 907X & CFV 100C (2023): An engineering icon — the 907X + CFV 100C bridges Hasselblad V lenses from 1957 with a 100MP digital back in a form that is unmistakably Hasselblad.
