Canon EOS R8 (Body) - 24.2MP Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera, Dual Pixel CMOS AF II - 4K up to 60p - Up to 40 FPS Continuous Shooting - Vari-angle Touch Screen - Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, & USB-C Connectivity

This camera offers outstanding value, especially for those transitioning from smaller sensor systems. As a long-time Micro Four Thirds user, I was drawn to the Canon R8 during a promotional deal and decided to make the leap to full-frame. I’ve been thoroughly impressed. Despite being a full-frame camera, the R8 is surprisingly compact, only slightly larger than my previous setup. I even added a grip for better handling, which speaks to just how small and lightweight it is. The image quality and overall benefits of moving to full-frame have exceeded my expectations. In hindsight, I wish I had made the switch sooner.

Really love this camera, especially the image quality it produces and how small and compact it is. I sold my Canon eos R7 after getting this R8 as it is smaller than R7 and has a full frame censor. With RF small lens, like 35mm 1.8 or 28mm 2.8 it’s a perfect combo for street photography. There is no image stabilisation but i normally use the camera in studio or with gimbal so lack of stabilisation doesn’t effect me. Battery life is not great but not bad either considering the price and other features of this camera. Big plus is 60fps full frame high quality 4k recording in the video mode. Really loved the camera, highly recommended.

One of the best camera I have Very sharp Easy to use Easy to get focus

Excellent camera, this Canon R8. Coming from a Canon 5D Mark II, I still cannot believe how small and light it is, and does so much more and better than the 5D Mk II. As a keen amateur photographer, this camera does all, and more, than I would ever need from a camera. And with the flip screen, it has changed the way I take many photos out of hand. has And with a separately purchased converter, I am able to use my current lenses still.

I upgraded from a Canon crop DSLR (800D). Still need to use it more, but the biggest difference for me is the low light performance. So much less noise at such situation, it's a treat. Reviews were raving about the AF compared to DSLRs, but I don't do people/animals so I don't need all the fancy AI tracking - on landscapes it often fails to tell where I want the focus and I have to help it. Not criticising the camera for that - just pointing out that different users appreciate different things. It's also small and light - especially combined with RF lenses. So far I have the 24-105 which is a nice all-around lens, and the 16mm pancake which makes the camera even more compact. As easy to use as any Canon camera, the only real drawback is the battery life, as it uses Canon's smallest battery, the E17. Fortunately, it's the same as my previous Canon, hence I had several extras and a fast charger for it, which makes the problem mostly moot. The price is amazing for what you get. It is an excellent full frame sensor (same as the R6 mk II) on a capable body for not much over £1000. I actually got it for less during the £400 off promo Canon had. The only thing that higher end cameras have that I would want is the in-body IS - but I can leave without it and save hundreds of thousands...

I have been a keen photographer for many years and have had a great number of cameras, from analog to digital. I would say the Canon R8 hit the price-performance point perfectly! While the R8 does not have all the bells and whistles, it has all the features to allow you to become a successful photographer. The image quality is great. The camera is very light, but comfortable to hold. Some review might suggest it does not have a mechanical shutter, but in real life, I barely notice any difference. Highly recommended considering the price point!

Previous cameras have included various Canon DSLRs and large bridge cameras before a move to Panasonic M43, which I have never quite been happy with, so decided to jump back to Canon with the new mirrorless RF system. This camera is very much an R6 mark 2 with a few things missing to save you about £1000. These include lack of IBIS (stabilisation built into the camera), a smaller battery and fewer buttons (including lack of joystick). For me, these are nowhere near dealbreakers for the following reasons. There are very few RF lenses without image stabilisation, and those lenses that lack stabilisation can be dealt with by upping the shutter speed and iso the good old-fashioned way! The R8 batteries are less than half the price and weight of the R6 batteries, so I just bought a couple more. They last a good 500 shots or so and much more if you shoot a lot at 40fps! Buttons can be re-assigned on the R8 to make this camera VERY usable and VERY efficient (check youtube for tips on this), so lack of joystick is not an issue for me. Basically, this is a massively customisable camera, has pretty much the same fantastic features, sensor and class-leading (at any price) autofocus system as the more expensive R6 mark 2 and is also a fair bit lighter than that camera which is nice. I think it’s an absolute bargain and a joy to use!

It is one of the best camera I have ever own for this price. Size is perfect light, small travel friendly. I purchased directly from Amazon UK product warranty registered. Performance wonderful and color accuracy great. You should buy a spare battery which is one of the downsize as battery life but easy to sort it out.
