However, at this price point, it is not just competing against other cameras, but against smartphones as well. It certainly is better than smartphone cameras, irrespective of what you put it up against. You get far better videos and images from the EOS R10 than you would from a smartphone. When it comes to photos and videos, software trickery is no match for plain ol’ physics. The advantages of using great quality glass and a much bigger sensor can never be overcome by software trickery.

The problem is the learning curve that comes with using a camera, as opposed to the ease of using a smartphone. Canon and most other camera manufacturers have their work cut out for them in educating new-age content creators and vloggers. I know vloggers who have invested lakhs of rupees on cameras and lenses, who then shoot primarily on their iPhones, simply because of the convenience that it provides. 

Regardless of what most new-age content creators choose to do, I for one would definitely bet my money on the EOS R10, and a few fast prime lenses from Canon, if I was to take up vlogging or content creation as a proper profession.
