In the Indian market, Canon introduced the EOS R100, a new mirrorless camera. Besides, the company introduced the first-ever pancake lens for RF mount. The RF28mm f/2.8 STM lens is the smallest, lightest RF lens available and is advertised as creating beautiful photos in a lightweight and portable design.
Either an APS-C or a full-frame EOS R camera was compatible with it. This EOS R100 and RF Mount pancake lens (RF 28mm f/2.8 STM) introduction arises after the recent overview of the Canon PowerShot V10 previous this month. Here the camera accessories briefly guide you about the new eos R100 .
Specifications and Features of the Canon EOS R100
The EOS R100 is Canon’s small and lightweight full-frame choice, The camera features a DIGIC 8 processor and a 24.1MP APS-C CMOS sensor.Weight of the Canon EOS R100 is 356 g (0.78 lb / 12.56 oz) with the battery.
This allows the camera to capture clear, detailed still pictures as well as videos. The camera has an included 0.39-inch electronic viewfinder (EVF) for clear pictures in sunlight and a textured handle for steady shooting.
With its lightning-quick and exact focus, along with eye and face detection, the EOS R100 is capable of recording clear, crisp videos of subjects who move. In low light, the camera’s OIS and flash function together produce “well-lit shots.”
The EOS R100 features a special possibility called Hybrid Auto, which makes it ideal for beginning filmmakers. Your day’s work of screenshots and video clips will be turned into a movie. This option will tell the 4K Time-lapse Movie mode to “take shots of a scene at predetermined intervals” and patch all of them into a seamless video with original details and clarity.

Description and Features of the Canon RF Mount Pancake Lens
Triple large-diameter plastic-molded aspherical designs are provided by the “industry-first” RF28mm f/2.8 STM for offering clear picture quality. Both full-frame and APC-S cameras may use the lens. It is a lightweight lens that is 2.5 cm in length (when retracted) and 120 grams in weight. You can keep it connected to your camera due to its flat “pancake” build.
The lens may offer bokeh and fast-motion handheld pictures on full-frame cameras with an f2.8 aperture. Especially useful in low-light situations. The 28mm focal length gives the photographer the ability to photograph in a wide range of settings. Especially suitable for portrait and perspective photography, the lens is compatible with cameras like the EOS R8 and EOS R6 Mark II.
The lens provides a typical vision for a realistic perspective when used with APS-C cameras such as the EOS R50 and the EOS R7. It is equal to a full-frame 45mm camera. By combining the lens with an EOS R100, you can capture long-distance photos and half-body portraits.
The RF28mm f/2.8 STM’s wide f/2.8 aperture creates beautiful bokeh, allowing you to freeze moving subjects, and helping you capture more clear handheld photos in low light.
On both APS-C and full-frame cameras, its adjustable 28mm focal length enables a broad range of framing options.
It offers a wide-angle perspective for landscapes, cityscapes, and portraits with context on full-frame cameras like the EOS R8 and EOS R6 Mark II. It provides a standard angle-of-view like 45mm on a full-frame camera for APS-C cameras like the EOS R50 and EOS R7. Making it perfect for relaxed and natural compositions, including half-body portraits.
