TheCanon EOS R8 is a mid-ranged full-framemirrorless interchangeable-lens camera launched byCanon in April 2023.[1] It inherits many key features of theCanon EOS R6 Mark II and is smaller and lighter than theCanon EOS RP.[2]
The Canon EOS R8 was announced on February 8, 2023[3] and launched on April 18, 2023, together with theCanon EOS R50,[4][5] with a suggested retail price ofUS$1,499 (body only).
The Canon EOS R8 is offered as a body only or in a body-and-lens kit package with aCanon RF 24-50mm f 4.5-6.3 IS STM zoom lens at a suggested retail price ofUS$1,699.[2][4]
The Canon EOS R8 features a 24.2 megapixel full-frame dual pixelCMOS sensor, the same as theCanon EOS R6 Mark II. The camera features theDIGIC X. The EOS R8 does not havein-body image stabilization, however, a lens with opticallens-based stabilization can be used.[1][5]
The EOS R8 maximum sensitivity of ISO is 102 400 (expandable to ISO 204 800) and down to ISO 100 (expandable to 50), and in video it can capture up to ISO 25 600 (expandable to 102,400)[1][5]
The camera has an electronicshutter that shoots up to 40frames per second and anelectronic first curtain shutter that eliminatesrolling-shutter and shoots up to 6 frames per second.[1][5]
The EOS R8 uses Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF II system to capture and record and offers 100% horizontal and 100% vertical with Face + Tracking and Auto Selection modes and 100% horizontal and 90% vertical with manual selection and large zone modes. It has 4897AF points.[1][5]
The camera can record up to 4k UHD (3840 × 2160) 59.94 frames per second with 10-bit color and support for HDR and C-Log3 profiles (oversampled from 6k). It can shoot up to 180 fps in Full HD giving the option forslow-motion. It also offers 3–5 seconds pre-record capability, which adds 3–5 seconds of footage before pressing the shutter.[1][2][4][5]
The EOS R8 weighs 414 g (461 g with card and battery), which makes it the lightestfull-frame camera on the market. Its design is based on its predecessorCanon EOS RP.[1][2][5]
On the back it has 7.5 cm (3.0’’) Clear viewLCD II screen with resolution of approximately 1.62 million pixels and a touchscreen. It has 0.39 inch OLED colorEVF that has a resolution of 2.36 million dots (1024 × 768) and .70 magnification. The viewfinder is same as its predecessorCanon EOS RP.[1][2][5]
The EOS R8 uses Canon'sRF lens mount. It is possible to use olderEF andEF-S lenses with the use of anEF/EF-S toRF adapter.[6] At launch it had 38 nativelenses available. It has aFull Frame sensor, a focal length multiplier of 1× so lenses will provide their original focal length on R8.[1][7]
