The Canon R100 keeps showing up in places where it almost feels out of place—night ports, tropical close-ups, flea markets, travel scenes—yet it holds its own with a kind of stubborn consistency. Not perfect, not flashy, but dependable in a way that makes you keep reaching for it. Over time, a pattern emerges: this isn’t just an entry-level camera, it’s a system that rewards experimentation, especially when paired with the right (often inexpensive) lenses.
