Canon has recently added two new members to its mirrorless R-series, called the Canon EOS R10 and R7. These are the first from Canon to feature an EOS R APS-C crop sensor. Here, we will go through the specs, features, availability, and expected price of the Canon EOS R10 and EOS R7 in Nepal.
Canon EOS R10 Overview:
The EOS R10, the series’ entry-level model, is a compact mirrorless camera with a 24.2MP sensor. Because it’s an APS-C CMOS lens, it offers 1.6x more telephoto reach than equivalent focal lengths on a full-frame camera. The back of the camera flaunts a 2.36M-dot OLED electronic viewfinder (EVF) and a 3-inch fully articulating touchscreen with 1.04M-dot resolution.
Inside, the camera is powered by a DIGIC X processor which allows for 15fps burst capture with the mechanical shutter and 23fps with the electronic shutter. The R10 has auto-focus ability as good as the more expensive R-series camera, which allows it to track humans, vehicles, and animals. But, it can’t do things as quickly since it lacks backside illumination and the sensor here is not stacked either.

On the video side of things, the R10 can capture 4K videos at 30fps by supersampling the full width of the sensor. You can also shoot 4K 60fps videos, however, it crops the frame by 1.56x. Also, it’s worth noting it can not shoot C-Log or RAW videos.
In addition, the Canon EOS R10 accepts UHS-II SD cards, has a built-in flash, Canon’s multi-function hot shoe, and a joystick on the back of the camera to make navigation easier. The EOS R10 is fueled by a Canon LP-E17 battery.
Canon EOS R7 Overview:
The EOS R7, on the other hand, sports a 32.5MP APS-C CMOS sensor with a 1.6x crop ratio. It has the same DIGIC X processor as the R10, however, it can capture up to 30fps in electronic shutter mode and up to 15fps in mechanical shutter mode.
The R7 can capture 4K video at up to 60 frames per second in 10-bit color. However, the recording time in this resolution is limited to 30 minutes. Nonetheless, you may record Full HD video at up to 120 frames per second without being limited to a 30-minute recording time. Also, it supports C-Log 3 recording and in-body image stabilization.

This camera, unlike the R10, is meant to be dust and moisture-proof. The viewfinder and screen dimensions remain the same, yet the display resolution has been increased to 1.62M.
Furthermore, the EOS R7 has all of the I/O choices of the R10, as well as two UHS-II SD card slots on the side and a headphone jack. Likewise, it is driven by a bigger LP-E6NH battery.
New Lenses
Canon also introduced two new RF-S lenses for the smaller sensor-size cameras. When used with an APS-C sensor, the RF-S18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM and RF-S18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS STM lenses have a 1.6x crop factor. These lenses are compatible with any R-series camera.

Canon EOS R10, EOS R7 Price in Nepal and Availability
Canon has priced EOS R10 at USD 980 for the body only while with the RF-S18-45mm or RF-S18-150mm paired it costs USD 1,099 and USD 1,379, respectively. Likewise, the EOS R7 will set you back USD 1,499 for the body-only and USD 1,899 with RF-S18-150mm combo. If and when the Canon EOS R10 and EOS R7 are released in Nepal, we expect the starting price to be NPR 130,000 and NPR 195,000, respectively.
Besides this, the RF-S18-45mm and RF-S18-150mm lenses will be available separately for USD 300 and USD 479, respectively.
