Canon does a good job with this.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"newsletter\" data-id=\"2050571\" data-copy=\"ZDNET Recommends\" data-image=\"{"id":null,"alt":null}\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EImage quality\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe image quality is on par with what I expected from a budget-friendly camera with a cropped sensor (APS-C). You'll hear smartphone manufacturers such as Apple and Samsung boast having over 40 megapixels in their smartphone cameras, so if you're unsure if a camera with only half that can stand up to them in quality, the answer is a resounding yes.

Here are two sample images captured with the R100 in two slightly different scenarios. Image one utilized the kit lens (18mm-45mm) that came with the R100. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"40f37231-faef-4447-9918-854aa10272b4\" data-size=\"large\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003EHere's a Canon R100 sample image with the 18mm-45mm kit lens.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-credit=\"Ant Pruitt\" data-image-alt-text=\"Canon R100 sample image\" data-image-filename=\"1r100-kit-img-3640.jpg\" data-image-date-created=\"2024\u002F07\u002F16\" data-image-width=\"1600\" data-image-height=\"900\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn this first image, you'll notice the image quality is pretty solid. I didn't do any post-processing other than adjusting the white balance. My dog Kylo looks pretty good here. Even when I zoomed into the image, I noticed the noise wasn't bad, considering I shot this in a shaded area on a sensor smaller than what I usually use (full frame).\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe ISO was cranked up to 3,200, so getting image noise is almost guaranteed. Look at the first image and compare it to the zoomed-in version of the image below.

In the second image, I attached an 85mm prime lens, which has a wider aperture for more light. Also, it's just a better lens thanks to the quality of the glass. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI should also note that I attached this lens onto the R100 via an RF to EF lens adapter. Most of my Canon lenses are EF mount, which isn't compatible with the mirrorless bodies unless you use an adapter.

Yes, I have a better lens on the body, but this also proves that a photographer can start with this camera and upgrade to better lenses over the years until they're ready to move on to an upgraded mirrorless body from Canon. As in the first image, I only corrected the white balance. No other post-processing was done. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EHow the Canon handles video\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EShooting video on the R100 is straightforward, with full HD at 60 frames per second. This is great for live action, but if you're attempting to shoot something in a \"cinematic flare,\" back the frame rate down to at least 30 frames per second, preferably 24 frames per second. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAlso: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Farticle\u002Fi-went-mountain-biking-with-djis-latest-action-camera-and-it-didnt-let-me-down\u002F\"\u003EI went mountain biking with DJI's latest action camera, and it didn't let me down\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIf you're curious to shoot in 4K (UHD), note that your image will be presented at a tighter focal length because the video mode utilizes the center of the APS-C sensor and not the full working area.

If you want to vlog, you can, but you won't be able to see yourself as there's no flip-out screen found on most vlogging cameras. Regarding live streaming, you can use the micro HDMI to connect the R100 to your computer via a capture card or an HDMI switcher such as an ATEM Mini. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EMy concerns with the R100\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI don't have many concerns. First, the lack of a flip-out screen is rather inconvenient. Flip-out screens are useful beyond just vlogging purposes. For example, if you're photographing something from a high or low angle, having the option to rotate the screen is super helpful in composing and framing your shot. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAlso: \u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Farticle\u002Fget-lifetime-access-to-one-of-a-kind-stock-photos-for-under-30\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHow to get lifetime access to stock photos for under $30\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESecondly, the APS-C sensor is not a dealbreaker, but shooting video should be done in the highest resolution available. Shooting in 4K (UHD) is an option, but cropping in on the sensor doesn't give your 4K footage the look of a clean 4K video, just a 4K file size. On a positive note, the APS-C sensor is great for shooting moon photography, and it has a full-frame telephoto lens attached. You'll gain a little more reach in focal length by roughly 1.4x. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EZDNET's buying advice\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIf you're an aspiring photographer looking to scratch the itch that your smartphone camera can't seem to satisfy, the \u003Cspan data-shortcode=\"commercelinkshortcode\" data-id=\"3da16080-09d9-4d7f-bb27-7753a1b9a6f8\" data-raw-url=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FCanon-Mirrorless-Processor-Continuous-Lightweight\u002Fdp\u002FB0C5PGRP7V\u002F\" data-monetized-url=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgoto.walmart.com\u002Fc\u002F159047\u002F565706\u002F9383?&sharedid=zdnet&partnerpropertyid=1980086&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FCanon-EOS-R100-Camera-with-Canon-EF-M-18-45mm-Lens-COMMANDER-Starter-Kit-Lens-Filters-CASE-64GB-Memory-Card-Extra-Battery-18PC-Bundle%2F3387702455%3F&subId1=subid_value\" data-link-shortcode-text=\"Canon EOS R100\" data-use-monetization=\"true\" data-edition=\"us\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fspan\u003E is a solid camera at a budget-friendly $449 (with the 18-45mm kit lens).

However, expect retailers to begin early discounts and sales weeks before.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhen is Cyber Monday?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECyber Monday is happening on Monday, Dec. 2, 2024, following Black Friday.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EAre phone deals really better on Black Friday?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EYes, phones, including recent iPhone models, are often cheaper on Black Friday, matching (if not beating) the level of discount you'd find during any other major shopping event. This is partly because Black Friday happens months after most manufacturers like Samsung, OnePlus, Google, and Apple have launched new devices. With the amount of time that has passed, you'll often see the more recent phones discounted by a good amount at this time. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EiPhones are cheaper during this time because carriers like Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T offer competitive trade-in and sign-on promotions. As long as you read the fine print about the qualifications, most of these deals will cover the retail cost of the new iPhone. You'll just have to agree to a long-term installment plan that ranges between 24 months to 36 months.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhich retailer will have the best smartphone deals?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhile Amazon has traditionally been the most competitive with its Black Friday smartphone deals, other retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, and Target have caught up in recent years. In fact, we're seeing top offers available across a variety of stores versus just one, which is a good thing for the retail landscape.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThat said, I'd highly advise scanning the catalogs of the manufacturers themselves, such as \u003Cspan data-shortcode=\"commercelinkshortcode\" data-id=\"773d37f7-f279-40cf-a1a6-2367de30102c\" data-raw-url=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.samsung.com\u002Fus\u002Fshop\u002Fall-deals\u002Fcell-phone-deals\u002F\" data-link-shortcode-text=\"Samsung\" data-use-monetization=\"true\" data-edition=\"us\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fspan\u003E, \u003Cspan data-shortcode=\"commercelinkshortcode\" data-id=\"919cc1c0-89cc-4e8e-87c1-9bd26694f0bc\" data-raw-url=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.motorola.com\u002Fus\u002Fspecials?\" data-link-shortcode-text=\"Motorola\" data-use-monetization=\"true\" data-edition=\"us\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fspan\u003E, \u003Cspan data-shortcode=\"commercelinkshortcode\" data-id=\"8342032f-379f-44c0-930d-8e241af61924\" data-raw-url=\"https:\u002F\u002Fstore.google.com\u002F\" data-link-shortcode-text=\"Google\" data-use-monetization=\"true\" data-edition=\"us\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fspan\u003E, and \u003Cspan data-shortcode=\"commercelinkshortcode\" data-id=\"64eee51d-32cd-47ea-bf45-aca7f8ca7024\" data-raw-url=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.apple.com\u002F\" data-link-shortcode-text=\"Apple\" data-use-monetization=\"true\" data-edition=\"us\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fspan\u003E. Beyond discounts to the retail cost, manufacturers often bundle free wireless earbuds, chargers, and other accessories with your purchase.

Still, you'll find deals in-store and online for both occasions. In some cases, retailers will list new deals during Cyber Monday, especially for products or inventory that didn't sell as much during Black Friday a few days earlier.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EHow did we choose these Black Friday deals?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EZDNET chooses Black Friday deals based on the percentage of discount compared to the original price ($5 off a $20 item is just as good as $250 off a $1,000 item), how significant the discount is compared to pricing history, and whether our experts have tested and recommended the product.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWe also look at deals from a wider scope, considering better alternatives, unique use cases, stock, and existing customer reviews on websites like Amazon, Best Buy, and Reddit. The best deals will save you a decent amount of money while giving you a truly worthwhile product.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhere can you shop the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals? \u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThere's no beating in-person shopping that begins on the eve of Black Friday, and retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart have made it a point to reward those who do. However, you can still find similar discounts online -- and with a higher chance of securing a product before it's snatched by someone else.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBesides big-box retailers, most carriers and e-commerce brands will also host some form of Black Friday and Cyber Monday promotion; simply visit your preferred destinations and see what's available.

Furthermore, if you try to turn the audio up, the dock will fight you and turn it down again.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe first couple of times that I connected this dock to my system, I was left wondering, \"Hey, why is my volume low?\" \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis is definitely not a deal breaker, but it's something worth knowing about.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EZDNET's buying advice\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMost people will never need a dock, and of those who do, only a select few will require a Thunderbolt-certified dock.

Many products on this list were released this year and are receiving discounts for the first time since their release. Additionally, Black Friday is a great time to buy home theater bundles instead of buying pieces of your home theater setup one by one.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhat's the difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHistorically, Black Friday sales were reserved for in-person shopping, while Cyber Monday deals were online only. These days, more people conduct their holiday shopping online out of convenience, and retailers often offer deeper discounts when customers buy online. As a result, the lines between Black Friday and Cyber Monday have blurred, but both days are opportunities to find the latest tech at lower prices.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EHow did we choose these Black Friday deals?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EZDNET only writes about deals we want to buy, including products we've tested, recommended, and used daily. Our experts find deals on products we've previously tested and compare prices across retailers to find you the best deal. However, some products are in such high demand that their discount barely scratches 20% off. We try to find deals with at least a 20% discount, but some devices are worth the money, and a little discount is better than no discount at all.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWe base our recommendations on our testing, extensive research, and comparison shopping. We aim to pair our hands-on experience with customer reviews and price comparisons to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhere can you shop the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals? \u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EYou can find plenty of Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals across many retailers, including Amazon and Best Buy, and directly from manufacturers. All retailers compete for your business this holiday season, so you can also find deals when buying directly from a manufacturer. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAdditionally, some retailers throw in a gift or subscription to entice you to buy from them. For example, Sony offers individual consultations when you buy its home audio products and Bose offers a 90-day return policy and holiday price-matching.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhat are the best Black Friday 2024 deals?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EZDNET's experts have been searching through Black Friday sales live now to find the best discounts by category.

The C50 looks like it has a fairly standard Android home screen, but you'll quickly discover there is no App Drawer out of the box. All apps are installed on the home screen, which makes for a cluttered interface. If you want to add an App Drawer, you'll have to install a third-party home screen, such as Nova Launcher, or you can simply change the Settings app. Open the Home Settings (long-press the home screen and tap the Settings icon). Next, tap Launcher Style and then enable the App Drawer. After enabling the App Drawer, you can also configure Android not to install new apps to the home screen, and you're good to go.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAlso: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Farticle\u002Fi-changed-10-settings-on-my-android-phone-to-drastically-improve-battery-life\u002F\"\u003EI changed 10 settings on my Android phone to drastically improve battery life\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBattery life has been solid, too.

Televisions are one of the few electronics categories that offers regular, predictable sale seasons throughout the calendar year. With Black Friday being one of the most prominent.

This is partly because Black Friday happens months after most manufacturers like Samsung, OnePlus, Google, and Apple have launched new devices. With the amount of time that has passed, you'll often see the more recent phones discounted by a good amount at this time. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EiPhones are also cheaper during this time because carriers like Verizon offer competitive trade-in and sign-on promotions. As long as you read the fine print about the qualifications, most of these deals will cover the retail cost of the new iPhone. You'll just have to agree to a long-term installment plan that ranges between 24 months to 36 months.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhich retailer will have the best smartphone deals?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhile Amazon has traditionally been the most competitive with its Black Friday smartphone deals, other retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, and Target have caught up in recent years.

This year, it falls on Nov. 29.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESince Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday, many people are off through the weekend, so retailers have capitalized on this day, the last national holiday before Christmas. This makes Black Friday a great chance to finish checking off your holiday shopping list.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhen is Cyber Monday?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECyber Monday happens on the Monday following the Thanksgiving holiday. This year, Cyber Monday falls on Dec. 2.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EAre Sam's Club deals really better on Black Friday?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EYes, Sam's Club and many other retailers offer better deals during Black Friday than the rest of the year. Historically, we have seen the biggest discounts during the holiday shopping season at Sam's Club. This year is no different, with even bigger discounts than last year.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhat's the difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThough there are many online deals, Black Friday has been historically a mostly in-person shopping event where people visit a brick-and-mortar store. With most big box stores featuring an online store, Black Friday online shopping has become as common as Amazon Prime Day shopping. Cyber Monday began and remains an online shopping event for online stores to capitalize on customers who may have missed a Black Friday deal and can shop from home or work on Monday.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EHow did we choose these Black Friday deals?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs a product reviewer at ZDNET, I've become familiar with many tech devices' unique features and tested different models in every price range. This experience helps me discern which products are worth their retail price and when a discount is a good deal.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI often check for deals on robot vacuums, tablets, and smart home devices, always choosing the ones that deliver the most features for the least money.

Black Friday is a huge shopping event, both in-person and online, with stores like Walmart, Best Buy, Amazon, Target, Costco, and more offering eye-popping discounts on different products.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhat are the best Black Friday 2024 deals?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EZDNET's experts have searched through Black Friday sales live to find the best discounts by category.

But for the most part, it is a good time to score savings on a majority of products across tons of categories, from tech to home, to name a few. Perhaps the best part about Black Friday is the enormous amount of sales occurring at nearly every major retailer, both in-store and online, giving you the best opportunity to find savings at basically everywhere you like to shop. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhat's the difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESemantics, mostly. Black Friday traditionally refers to the day of savings that follows Thanksgiving, which at one point was an in-stores-only event. Over the years, Black Friday sales have expanded and lengthened to include online retailers, hence \"Cyber Week\" and \"Cyber Monday.\" Cyber Monday refers to the Monday following Thanksgiving weekend, and originally referred to online savings on lots of products. These days, both Black Friday and Cyber Monday offer similar savings in-store and online. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EHow did we choose these Black Friday deals?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EZDNET only writes about deals we want to buy -- devices and products we desire, need, or would recommend. Our experts looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or are hardly ever on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWe also looked over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we're recommending. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing -- in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhere can you shop the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals? \u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EYou'll be able to shop Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals at nearly every major retailer, including Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and more. Plus, you'll likely be able to grab savings even earlier thanks to staggering sales throughout the month of November, too.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EHow long do Black Friday deals last?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBlack Friday deals have been ongoing all month long retailer to retailer, and with Cyber Monday on the horizon, we're expecting most stores both big and small to offer some type of seasonal savings at least through the end of Cyber Week on Dec. 2. This certainly won't be your last time to save this year or even before Christmas and other winter holidays, but it is likely one of the last major sale events of the year that includes thousands of retailers worldwide. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhat time do retailers open on Black Friday?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhile it's likely that some retailers may offer extended hours to accomodate in-store Black Friday shopping, don't make that blanket assumption for everywhere.

Once the Sleepbuds are in your ears they produce noise-masking (not noise-canceling) white noise that's dialed at the perfect volume to reduce external distractions and help you quickly fall asleep (and you don't even need to connect them with a phone or the app for this to work). My bedroom overlooks a bustling Brooklyn street that is always polluted with noise, like police sirens, screaming ambulances, neighbors singing and celebrating into the wee hours of the night, and pedestrians yelling at each other.

This is thanks to the stabilizing ear wings that keep the buds in place without additional pressure buildup (that tends to cause soreness and sensitivity).

The photo quality even exceeds that of OpenAI's latest model, DALL-E 3. When accessing DALL-E 3 from OpenAI's services, you need to pay for unlimited access.

For example, if you say, \"Generate an image of the beach,\" and are disappointed at the way the ocean looks, you can input another prompt that says, \"Generate an image of a beach with crystal blue, shallow water.\" The more specific you get, the better your result will be. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EAre there ethical implications with AI image generators?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAI image generators are trained on billions of images from across the internet. These images are often artworks belonging to specific artists, which an AI tool repurposes to generate your image. Although the output is different, the new image has elements of the artist's original work that are not credited to them.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EAre AI-generated images copyrighted?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhether an AI-generated image is copyrighted depends on the terms of the generator you are using.
