Canon EOS Rebel T100 DSLR Body

About this camera

Price and availability change often on Amazon, so we do not publish them here.

Carrying this body all day is a different question from buying it. See the HiiGuy strap

The cheapest way into a real optical viewfinder and interchangeable lenses. It is honest about where the money went, and where it did not.

Specifications verified against the manufacturer’s published data on 7 September 2026.

436g Body weight

Light enough to wear all day. The strap in the box will do; a wider one mostly buys you comfort on long walks.

Both lengths carry any body on this page. Pick 44" if you are tall or broad, 32" otherwise — that choice is about you, not the camera.

An honest read on who this body suits, and who should look elsewhere.

The tightest budget Great fit No camera here costs less and still gives you an optical viewfinder and a lens mount.
Learning the basics Great fit Full manual control over aperture, shutter and ISO, on the cheapest body that offers it.
A first camera for a student Great fit 436 g, cheap to replace, and the EF-S glass moves to any Canon body you upgrade to later.
Everyday family photography Workable 18 megapixels prints perfectly well at normal sizes, though every other body here has more.
Travel Workable Light at 436 g, but 500 shots per charge and no weather sealing limit long trips.
Sport, wildlife or action Look elsewhere Three frames a second and nine focus points. This body is not built for movement.
Video work Look elsewhere Full HD only, and the feature set around it is the most basic Canon ships.

436 g
The second-lightest body we cover, and light enough that it actually leaves the house.
A real optical viewfinder
At this price most alternatives give you a rear screen only. Composing through the lens is a different way of seeing.
Canon EF and EF-S mount
The cheapest entry to the largest used lens catalogue in photography.
Simple by design
Fewer controls than any other body here, which is either the point or the problem depending on who is holding it.

18 megapixelsMatters if you’re cropping heavily or printing large
The lowest resolution of any camera we cover. Fine for prints and screens, tight if you crop hard.
Nine autofocus pointsMatters if you’re photographing anything that moves
The same nine-point system as the Rebel T7, which is to say adequate for still subjects only.
No weather sealingMatters if you’re shooting outdoors in poor conditions
Canon does not seal this body, and at this price that is expected rather than surprising.
