The Canon EOS R10 offers professional speed at under a grand – could this be the ultimate camera for enthusiasts? James Artaius takes it into the field to find out
Canon never ceases to surprise us, but with the Canon EOS R10, it has truly outdone itself. Here is a body that’s priced at under a grand, yet it offers shooting speeds that match or exceed those of the top pro sports cameras on the market.
We’re not suggesting that the Canon EOS R10 is the best professional camera you can buy. However, it is mechanically faster than the Canon EOS R3 and Sony A1 and beats the Canon EOS R5 and Canon EOS R6 when shooting both mechanically and electronically.

At the heart of the EOS R10 is a reworked version of Canon’s familiar 24.2MP APS-C image sensor, which has been re-engineered to deliver improved readout speeds – resulting in the lightning-fast 15fps mechanical/23fps burst shooting. In an astonishing move for an entry-level camera, the R10 features the same Dual Pixel CMOS AF II found in the high-end R3, R5 and R6 bodies, with full subjecttracking for humans, animals and vehicles.
