Canon - EOS R10 Mirrorless Camera with RF-S18-45 f/4.5-6.3 IS STM Lens - Black

At the time I purchased, the R10 with RF-S 18-45mm kit was on sale for a lower price than body only which is why I bought it. I would otherwise not recommend the kit lens if you have other options as the 18-45mm is chintzy, dim, and really not wide enough for a standard zoom. If you stop down, the center sharpens up nicely, but the corners don't really and it is a very limiting lens. That said, the R10 is fantastic. Plastic fantastic, but still fantastic. It doesn't feel premium in any way, but it still feels like it will hold up to regular use. It's very compact and light, but quite capable with great autofocus and a comfortable hand grip and ergonomics with all the buttons and dials and joysticks and burst mode you expect from a more expensive camera. Image quality is really nice, too. My biggest wishes are for weather sealing so I could use it comfortably year-round in the Pacific Northwest, though Canon frustratingly doesn't really offer any compact weather-sealed lenses, for better battery life, and a quieter shutter. The mechanical shutter seriously is so loud and unpleasant, and the e-shutter is not very usable due to slow readout speed.

Great light weight camera perfect for traveling or any activity that requires having a camera with you for a long period of time. Camera was packed perfectly and I could not tell that it was refurbished. Pictures have great color saturation with bright punchy exposures. A perfect experience dealing with Canon USA direct.

Was skeptical about buying a refurbished camera but figured why not. Honestly i was not disappointed, camera looks and operated like new without any issues.

I picked up this R10 w/lens kit for about half of the price of a new one. Having the 1 year warranty makes all the difference for peace of mind. I've bought multiple Canon refurbished cameras and lenses and have never had a problem.

And excellent budget mirrorless camera, especially if you can catch one on deep discount during one of Canon's refurbished sales. With excellent ergonomics (compared to the R100 or R50) and reasonable compactness, especially with the bundled lens, this camera can fit in larger pockets or medium to largish purses. If you're coming from a smartphone or older DSLR/mirrorless, the autofocus will seem magical with the way it can lock onto humans, birds, or general vehicles. Excellent quality video as well, up to 4K60fps, and no artificial limits on duration. Do note though that video options while in stills/photography mode are extremely limited, and the custom C1 & C2 dial settings can only be assigned to photo mode, not video: this means quickly switching between photo and (fully customized) video is not possible on the R10, which is extremely disappointing considering how easy it is on the R7. While the bundled RF-S18-45mm lens is serviceable and worth it if the price of this bundle isn't much higher than that of body-only, I would highly recommend considering the RF-S 18-150mm bundle instead, as that lens is superior optically and much more versatile.
