Canon EOS R8 Review

would you recommend the canon r8 over the r10

Great video! Only thing missing for me was low-light (night time) performance, especially in comparison with known greats like the Sony a7iii.

Anyone wanna buy my RP so I can upgrade to an RP?

R8 or Sony a7iii

I have to add though, those who would be looking to get this will own a camera that is at the best 2-3 levels below what this is so for them it will be a massive upgrade. Reviews like this to me come across as if you are trying to convince someone who can afford a better one to go with this one if they don't want to spend the money. Think of the audience the real ones those with like a Canon t5, t7 etc not someone with a Sony a7iii.

Why do these reviewers always complaint about the things that are not there, just review the things the camera's can do, i can complain about my new wife in comparising with my ex, but whats the point.😂😂😂 do you catch my breath.
My ooh my what a Negative review, i have this camera, ITS AMAZING MAN.😉😉

No autofocus joystick deal breaker

Why is the screen smaller than the Canon 90D?? It has less screen size. There’s a huge black chunk on the left.

Thanks for the analysis! I need some advice: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). How can I transfer them to Binance?

Now who typically shoots at f1.2 @ 1/8000 shutter speed? The shutter is too loud, maybe show folks on how to set up silent shutter mode. Critiques are valid but keep it in the context of an entry level full frame mirrorless camera.

r6 ii almost 2x price of r8 bro

When will Canon replace the R8 or do we think it will be manufactured for some time yet?

Greeeeat review!!! thanks a lot guys!!!

having that 51fps buffer is just wild. That 40fps is kinda useless if you can use if for more then a second

A new R8 or used R? Which one?

$1199 USD. Body only. Not too shabby.

The Canon yacht R8 does have Joy stick for autofocus. It's the up down side to side

Hi, just got a new Canon R8 body, and on setting up I am facing several issues. Please help.

I am using the Canon R8 with a Viltrox adaptor and Sigma 17-50 f/2.8 and Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 lens. Below are the issues:

1. While trying to set 'Image Quality', the image size is showing as 3744x2496 instead of 6000x4000 for both Raw and JPEG.

2. Under JPEG, only L and S2 are enabled, with rest of the options like M and S1 disabled for selection and grayed out.

3. Under 'Cropping/aspect ratio' only 1.6 (1.6x crop) is available for selection. Rest of the options (Full, 1:1, 4:3 and 16:9) are disabled for selection and grayed out. This issue is only when the Sigma lens is on.

4. On selecting 'Cropping/aspect ratio' as Full with the Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 lens on, I am getting heavy vignetting both from the EVF and LCD, as well as in the Image. This goes away after I zoom 15mm.

It's really fast too

But the R8 does have a joystick it just looks different

I took 700 photos with a single battery still showing 2 lines out of 3. How was that possible?

Hold on 2.36M dot EVF means 1024 x 768?
1024 x 768 = 786,432 pixels
786,432 pixels x 3 "RGB dots"(?) = 2,359,296 dots ???
I hate this. I never knew this. I never questioned this spec. Wtf.

Why are reviews never in HDR? I'm looking for a camera that does HDR well. No way of seeing that here, or in any other of the videos.

Canon EOS R8: No IBIS, lens-based stabilization only. Almost bought this camera until I saw this. Good to do some research first. 🙂

Canon acts like they're doing you a favor by selling you a camera.

The iPhone 25 pro max takes even better pics than this

R8 vs xs20 tho?

Ultimately it is not for professionals.

Omg I live in charleston

The R6 MkII is just not $1000 better than the R8. I'd rather spend that $1000 on better glass.

Build quality is crap compared to my 70D.

Hello . Canon r8 + ef rf adapter+ tamron 24-70 f2.8 g2 + canon ex 430 Speedlite?
will the mount hold it?
and grip camera R8 ?

How to right off a vacation as a business expense 101. Jk. love the video.

This is quite a negative review. I’ve got the R8 and love it. Would even say its an entry level Professional camera.

Is using an ef lens with autofocus just as good as rf in most situations? Including lower light things ?

It's 8 months later, reviews have been positive, I just ordered it. I can live without what the R6 MkII offers, especially for about half the cost.

yeehaw partner!

Since I plan on upgrading next year from my M6 MII I hope maybe for a R8 MII or that the R6 MII drops a little in price, well one fan hope 😂.

I am planning to make short films and need a camera what one is best recommended. My budget is less then 2500.

On my Canon RP, the dual pixel autofocus doesn’t work when shooting in 4K. Does 4K recording on the R8 have any autofocus limitations?

Thanks for the review! although i love my eos r, i have to say that the in-body digital stabilization is not helpful. it's disappointing that there's no IBIS in the r8! i wanted to upgrade to a 10bit camera, but it looks like it's not gonna be a Canon.. Sony and Panasonic are offering so much of what users actually wish for!

Originally bought the r6 as my first camera for film making. Returned it the same month when they announced the r6 II. Glad I didn’t buy it yet, because the r8 is $1000 less for basically the same video capabilities. That’s $1000 I get to spend on glass.

Downside of canon is you can't use other lens brands

One day will get the 5d mark 5 and the world will be whole again

The R7 gets its auto focus system from the R3. While the R8 gets its auto focus system from the R6 Mark2. So was wondering if there is a significant difference in the Subject Detection Auto Focus performance between the R7 & R8.
And yes... thanks for yet another highly informative review!

Very informative review, as someone with an EOS RP, I do wonder where to put my 50mm f1.8 stm and my 24-105 stm. Do I put the 50mm on the RP or the R8 ?
