Canon EOS R8
The Canon EOS R8 is a mid-ranged full-frame mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera launched by Canon in April 2023. It inherits many key features of the Canon EOS R6 Mark II and uses a very similar chassis to the Canon EOS RP.
The Canon EOS R8 was announced on February 8, 2023 and launched on April 18, 2023, together with the Canon EOS R50, with a suggested retail price of US$1,499 (body only).
The Canon EOS R8 is offered as body-only or in a body-and-lens kit package with a Canon RF 24-50mm f 4.5-6.3 IS STM zoom lens at a suggested retail price of US$1,699.
The Canon EOS R8 largely shares the imaging system of the Canon EOS R6 Mark II, including a 24.2 megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor, an advanced Dual Pixel AF system with tracking and subject recognition capabilities, as well as a DIGIC X processor. However, it omits in-body image stabilization to keep the body size the same as the Canon EOS RP.
The EOS R8 has a maximum ISO sensitivity of 102,400 (expandable to 204,800) and a minimum of 100 (expandable to 50), and in video it can capture up to ISO 25,600 (expandable to 102,400).
The camera has an electronic shutter that shoots up to 40 frames per second and an electronic first curtain shutter that eliminates rolling-shutter and shoots up to 6 frames per second.
The EOS R8 uses Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF II system to capture and record and offers 100% horizontal and 100% vertical focus coverage with Face + Tracking and Auto Selection modes and 100% horizontal and 90% vertical focus coverage with manual selection and large zone modes. It has 4897 AF points.
The EOS R8 can record video with up to 4K UHD (3840 × 2160) resolution at 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 for slow-motion. It also offers 3–5 seconds pre-record capability, which adds 3–5 seconds of footage before pressing the shutter.
