Is the sensor inside it decent? Absolutely. It'll take lovely images, even in the hands of amateurs (thanks to the plethora of automagic modes in the camera). In manual modes, it'll take excellent photos in the hands of someone experienced (as would nearly any camera, to be fair).
Is it an exceptionally good camera? No. No, it is not. It's cheap feeling plastic, poor ergonomics, lacks a touchscreen (in 2024, that's a joke), and the image processor is an older generation which is lacking much of the subject detection autofocus that is Canon's bread & butter.
It's the camera body shown to you in a store to get you to upgrade to a better model, such as the R50 or R10 or R7.
Now, is it a good deal with two kit lenses for $300? That's a hard one to answer too. For me, someone who has had film SLRs, DSLRs since the early 2000s, and has a Canon R8....the R100 is a joke of a camera that is a waste of my time. But for someone just starting out and who doesn't want to be overwhelmed with manual settings (or doesn't want to get "older" hardware)....it's hard to find a better "value" than this sale.
It's a camera that once you outgrow, you probably wouldn't want to return to at any cost.
If you can afford it, the R8 kit with the 24-50mm for $900 would absolutely destroy this camera -- night and day. Like taking a toothpick to fight a tank. Yes, it's three times the cost, but I think you're getting much more than three times the camera.

R100 with the two lens kit $299.
R50 body only $500+
Seriously? If you are paying that much for a R50 why not go one small step further for a RP, R8 or R7?
R50 is $429 with the same trash 18-45 kit that he/she would probably immediately upgrade anyway... We're talking $130 more and you get a much better body in general (less the 55-210 lense that I see on FB marketplace for $45-$75).... Sure, another $450-$600 more and you could go for the r10/rp/r8/r7...
The R50 is a better entry level "bang for your buck" scenario.
Just look at the tech specs r100 vs r50...
The articulating touchscreen and superior AF on the r50 alone justifies the $130 more...
edit. I just reread that he/she wanted to buy the r100 for simply testing a control ring... the r100 would suffice for that....

R100, with two lenses, as of the guy asking for advice, right in this thread, were listed at $299 for the entire kit.
And you were telling him why R100 is a trash deal and he should go with the R50, as of posted, listed as $500+ on the same canon website?
R100 is a hot garbage for $500 but hot butter slick deal for $299.
R50 maybe better than a R100 for $100 more but definitely won't worth it for more than double the price tag.

But better potential depends on the user. A novice user in bright light, with a subject 20 feet away that isn't moving too quick will take a better pic with the iPhone. This is why there are lots of dumb Youtube videos with titles like, "The iPhone takes better pictures than a $5000 DSLR!"
Change any of those easy conditions and the R100 will likely do far better.

Do all pro cams get grainy when you look close? I make some high res art for the wall but many high res media I print start to come out with noticeable pixels around 7 inches. I would like to eventually make bigger things like posters; up to a blanket that's 12ftx10ft. That has very high quality images
