While these two cameras represent two ends of the camera spectrum - the Canon R100 being a great contender for the best camera for beginners, while the Canon EOS R5 is set for the more professional and enthusiastic market and certainly takes pride of place in our best mirrorless camera guide.

While a $100 discount is a small reduction to the Canon EOS R100, now at a price of  $499 that is a record bargain on this ready-to-shoot package that includes the 18-45mm lens. 

The better deal is the $900 discount on the Canon EOS R5 which offers a 45MP sensor, 8K RAW video, and even 4K 120fpos slo motion video means that this is a content creator's delight.
