What we like

  • 10-bit HDR PQ video and HEIF photo support, with video files viewable straight from camera via HDMI
  • AF tracking is accurate and reliable in stills modes
  • Menus attempt to remove video options from stills mode and vice versa
  • 4K/60p video in a sub-$1000 camera

What we don’t

  • Lack of RF-S lenses at the present time
  • AF tracking for video is unreliable
  • Significant rolling shutter in full-width 4K mode
  • Mode guides are half-baked and not friendly for the beginner audience they are designed for
  • Easy-to-confuse HDR recording modes for both stills and video
  • Menus that suffer from tech bloat

Conclusion from DPReview:

Users looking to learn the craft of photography and video, not break the bank in the process and want a no-fuss fun camera to tool around town should give the R10 a serious look, but be aware of the availability (or otherwise) of lenses.
