The Canon EOS Rebel T100 / 4000D scores a 41/100 in our evaluation. Its dimensions are 129 x 102 x 77mm, and it weighs a manageable 475g or 1.05lbs. Despite being a few years old, the T100 offers decent specs for its price range. However, in today’s market, it faces stiff competition from newer models with more advanced features.

For anyone confused by Canon camera names, you’re not alone! The Canon EOS Rebel T100 is the American product name. It is called the 4000D in Europe and the 3000D in parts of Asia. For the majority of this article, we’ll refer to it by the American name (T100).

Canon EOS Rebel T100 Overview and Optics

The optics of the Canon EOS Rebel T100 receive a score of 39/100. The camera features 18 megapixels and a shooting speed of 3 frames per second. It is equipped with a CMOS sensor and a Digic 4+ processor. The DXOMARK score for the sensor is 63. The sensor size is APS-C, and the lens mount is Canon EF-S. However, the camera lacks image stabilisation and has an aspect ratio of 3:2.

Comparing the optics of the Canon EOS Rebel T100 to other cameras in today’s market, it falls behind in terms of specifications. Many modern cameras offer higher megapixels, faster shooting speeds, and image stabilisation. The Digic 4+ processor is also outdated, with newer models using more advanced processors.

The Canon EOS Rebel T100 is a budget-friendly option for beginners, but its optics are not on par with more advanced cameras in the current market.

Read our notes on canon eos rebel t100 video performance

The Canon Rebel T100 receives a video score of 43 out of 100. Its maximum video resolution is Full HD, with dimensions of 1920 x 1080. The camera supports a maximum video frame rate of 30fps. However, it does not have built-in time-lapse functionality.

In today’s market, the video capabilities of the T100 are not competitive. Full HD resolution is now considered standard, with many cameras offering 4K resolution. A 30fps frame rate is also lower than the 60fps commonly found in current cameras. The lack of time-lapse functionality further limits its video features.

The Canon EOS Rebel T100’s video performance is limited compared to modern cameras. Its Full HD resolution and 30fps frame rate are outdated, and the absence of time-lapse functionality is a drawback.

Read our notes on canon eos rebel t100 features and benefits

The Canon EOS Rebel T100 receives a feature score of 47 out of 100. With a screen size of 2.7 inches and a resolution of 230,000 dots, the display is smaller and less detailed compared to other cameras in the market. It lacks a touchscreen and a flip screen, which are common features in many modern cameras. The absence of GPS is also a downside for those who want to geotag their photos.

However, the camera does include WIFI and Bluetooth capabilities, allowing for easy transfer of images and remote control functionality. These features are essential for today’s photographers who want to share their work quickly and efficiently.

Considering the specifications, the Canon EOS Rebel T100 offers a decent set of features for an entry-level camera. However, it falls short in terms of display quality and versatility.

Read our notes on canon eos rebel t100 storage and battery

The Canon EOS Rebel T100 storage and battery section scores a low 27 out of 100. The camera has one memory card slot, accepting SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards for storage. In comparison to other cameras in the market, this may limit flexibility for photographers who need multiple card slots for backup or organization purposes.

With a battery life of 500 shots per charge, the camera uses an LP-E10 battery type. It does not support USB charging, which can be a disadvantage for users who prefer charging on-the-go or without access to a dedicated charger. Many modern cameras offer better battery life and USB charging options, making the T100 / 4000D less competitive in this aspect.

The limited storage and battery capabilities of the Canon EOS Rebel T100 make it less appealing to users who require more advanced features and flexibility in their photography equipment.
