Canon EOS R100 vs Canon EOS R50
Every spec below is quoted from the makers' official pages — where a figure isn't published we say so rather than guess. Sizes are drawn at true relative scale from published dimensions, and the bag-fit row is computed against our measured bag catalog.
The 3 biggest published differences
- Burst — mechanical: the R50 leads at 12 fps (mechanical/1st-curtain electronic shutter) vs the R100's 6.5.
- Battery life (CIPA): the R50 leads at 440 shots (LCD) / 310 shots (EVF), CIPA standard, at 23°C vs the R100's 320 (viewfinder shooting, power saving, +23°C, LP-E17).
- Weight (body): the R100 leads at 356 g vs the R50's 375 g.
