Notes on 13 values — test conditions and caveats
- 1Nikon Z6III, High resolution pixel-shift mode: Pixel-shift frames are merged on a computer in NX Studio, not in the camera.
- 2Canon EOS R100, Native ISO maximum: ISO 25600 (H) is an expanded setting, not a native sensitivity.
- 3Nikon Z6III, In-body image stabilization: CIPA figure measured with the non-VR NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S at 120mm.
- 4Canon EOS R100, In-body image stabilization: No in-body stabilization; shake correction relies on IS lenses or Movie Digital IS.
- 5Nikon Z6III, Continuous shooting (electronic): 60 fps is full-resolution JPEG only; Raw bursts top out at 20 fps, and 120 fps uses a DX crop.
- 6Canon EOS R100, Continuous shooting (electronic): The electronic (silent) shutter does not support continuous shooting on this camera.
- 7Nikon Z6III, Pre-burst capture duration: Pre-Release Capture records JPEG only.
- 8Canon EOS R100, 4K max frame rate (full width): All 4K recording uses a ~1.6x centre crop, so no full-width 4K mode exists.
- 9Nikon Z6III, Video dynamic range (log): Nikon states "13+ stops" for N-Log in H.265 10-bit at ISO 800.
- 10Canon EOS R100, Viewfinder magnification: Canon's 0.95x is quoted with a 50mm lens on APS-C; in 35mm-equivalent terms it is 0.59x.
- 11Canon EOS R100, Weight: CIPA weight: body with battery and memory card, without lens.
- 12Nikon Z6III, USB charging & power delivery: In-camera charging and USB power need a USB-PD source such as Nikon's EH-8P.
- 13Canon EOS R100, USB charging & power delivery: The battery must be charged in the external LC-E17E charger; no USB power delivery.
Sensor and Image Quality
The Nikon Z6III features a full-frame, partially-stacked CMOS sensor that captures more light and detail than the smaller APS-C sensor on the Canon EOS R100. This larger sensor format pairs with an 8-stop in-body image stabilization system, allowing the Z6III to shoot sharply in low light without a tripod.
By contrast, the Canon EOS R100 lacks in-body stabilization entirely, relying completely on lens-based optical correction or digital movie stabilization. The Nikon also reaches a native ISO maximum of 64,000, giving it a strong advantage over the Canon's 12,800 limit.
Speed and Autofocus
For action and wildlife photography, the Nikon Z6III outclasses the competition with a 60 fps electronic shooting mode and a mechanical top speed of 14 fps. Its autofocus system detects a wide variety of subjects including humans, animals, birds, cars, trains, airplanes, and motorcycles.
The Canon EOS R100 limits continuous shooting to 6.5 fps mechanically and offers no continuous shooting with its electronic shutter. Its autofocus system is restricted strictly to human subjects, making it less versatile for fast-moving pets or vehicles.
Video Capabilities
Videographers will find a massive gap between these two models. The Nikon Z6III records up to 6K internally, supports 10-bit color, log profiles, and internal raw video codecs like N-RAW, while reaching 120 fps in 4K resolution.
The Canon EOS R100 restricts video to an 8-bit H.264 codec at 4K resolution capped at 25 fps. Furthermore, all 4K recording on the Canon applies a heavy ~1.6x center crop, whereas the Nikon can shoot 4K at 60 fps across the full width of its sensor.
Handling and Build
The Nikon Z6III is built for demanding environments with a dust and drip-resistant body, dual memory card slots, and a fully articulated screen with 2.1 million dots. It also features a full-size HDMI port, a headphone jack, and a minimum operating temperature of -10 °C.
On the other hand, the Canon EOS R100 prioritizes lightweight travel at 356 g, featuring a single card slot, a fixed screen with 1.04 million dots, a micro HDMI port, and no weather sealing.
The Verdict
Buy the Nikon Z6III if you need professional video tools, robust weather sealing, and fast burst speeds. Buy the Canon EOS R100 if you want a lightweight, simple camera for basic family photography.
