EOS R10 Mirrorless Camera with RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM Lens
Product details
Web ID: 21499961A nice balance in a SMALL AND LIGHT package
As a hiking camera or second body for someone with a "R" series FF camera (and some lenses) this is a nice addition. Its not much larger or heavier (with the kit lens) than the M6 with its kit lens which was my former choice for that service. It has only one real shortcoming in that Canon only has a couple of RF-S lenses on offer and prohibits others from making for the RF series line, which is a shame -- as there are plenty of times that the smaller and lighter package is a BIG DEAL over carrying my R6Mk2 and its much larger and heavier glass. Perhaps Canon just doesn't see a market for the smaller and obviously less-expensive RF-S glass beyond the couple they have -- in which case I don't understand them not allowing others to make them since they'd not be giving up anything in that instance at all. The APS sensor also, of course, greatly extends the focal length of telephotos -- suddenly that RF 100-500 (which I really like for what it is) becomes a maximum 800mm lens, which is definitely not a small change! This plus a monopod or similar gets you well into the range of fairly-serious wildlife and bird photography. There are compromises -- the smaller size means a smaller battery, single-slot for SD (and both on the bottom so a tripod plate gets in the way) and similar. It won't replace the larger full-frame bodies for sure, but as a very useful addition to my kit when I just can't tolerate something 3x the mass its VERY hard to argue with it, and you get all the Canon sensor and image goodness along with quite-decent autofocus tracking and similar. For the newer shooter it might be all the camera you need for quite some time and its certainly more-friendly to the wallet than an R7 or any of the FF models. Just remember it makes no claims to being weather sealed so use your head in that regard. IMHO recommended.

Disappointed with the quality assurance
Bought it a month ago and it’s been back and forth sending it in to repair under warranty, getting it back unrepaired and sending it in again, finally get it back on Monday after the 3rd quality assurance inspection hopefully they fix the dead pixels on the screen this time, should’ve been caught in the first refurbished inspection. Disappointed and completely unprofessional.

Good value, but we need more RF-S lenses
My refurbished R10 arrived quickly and appeared to be in new condition. Where it excel, as many have noted, is with its auto focus. I'm using it with the RF100-400 and RF100-500 for bird photography. Where it comes up short is with the very loud mechanical shutter that is probably causing shutter shock that is responsible for some blurring in images. Using electronic shutter gets you the usual bending lines due to its slow read out speed. The kit lens is...really pretty mediocre. I'm hoping we'll get those higher quality third party lenses soon for our Canon RF-S cameras. Or, if Canon wanted to give us an update of their old EF 17-55 F2.8 that'd be even more awesome.

Great APSC-sized camera
Great value. Takes great photos and it looks like it was completely unused. A few stuck pixels on the back screen, but pictures are perfect. And the stuck pixels are now only noticeable if you go looking for them. I'll certainly take that trade-off for buying refurbished at a substantial discount vs brand new. Can't speak to the kit lens as I purchased a faster lens in roughly the same focal range to pair with this camera. Still working through customization options and other features, but so far, I like what I've seen and I have no major complaints. I really appreciate how light the mirrorless bodies and lenses are together. I used to have a 77D and EF lenses - what a difference in weight!

My first mirrorless
I got one of these after using the same old Canon DSLR for about 14 years. I’m so happy with this camera, and it’s convinced me that gear makes a difference. The game-changers for me are previewing the exposure of the image through the viewfinder, the autofocus (especially animal and eye detection), and the depth-of-field display simulation setting (you can see the depth of field constantly instead of having to hold down a button or review each image after taking it). The kit lens is lightweight and practical. The battery life is pretty great when taking photos, but it will run out quickly if you record long videos. No issues with the refurbished model—it looks and works like new.

Couldn't Be Happier Six Months In
The camera buying process is not an easy one. I was a bit of a newbie when I began my research, but I'd call myself an intermediate. I had done some photography using my school's cameras before, but this blew me away. I was worried this was too inexpensive compared to other higher-end alternatives, but I made the right decision. The camera is excellent for any type of photography. I have to do a lot of school sports, and I've never had any issues. The kit lens covers anything I need. I might get a zoom lens down the line, but for everyday use, it's fantastic. The automatic modes have improved so much on newer cameras that there's hardly a need to adjust many settings on your own. I think anybody who got this would love it, and I would buy this over any camera in this price range.
