Canon EOS R8
At times while reviewing it, I almost forgot that the Canon EOS R8 was an entry-level camera. With its full-frame sensor, generally excellent autofocus and 4K/60p video capabilities, it comes with a lot of features that, not too long ago, would be reserved for higher-end models.
Pros:
- Great photo and video quality, Lightweight, compact body, Excellent photography autofocus
Cons:
- No in-body image stabilisation, Short battery life, Recording time limitations

Canon EOS R8 Review | Entry-Level Full-Frame Mirrorless Done Right?
All things considered, the Canon EOS R8 delivers the imagery Canon is known for. With its semi-professional sensor and autofocus system, you’ll love the results! Also, you’ll probably love just using the camera, too, especially if you’re a beginner who does a little bit of everything.

- Ease to use, Feels great in the hands, Full-frame sensor, Versatile controls, Vari-angle touch screen is a great inclusion, Support for 4K video

Canon EOS R8 review
An affordable camera that can punch above its weight in stills and 4K video. While its poor battery life keeps it from being a slam-dunk recommendation, you get a lot of camera for your money in the EOS R8. Its simple control scheme is great for beginners, and feature-packed for more advanced users, and its flip-out LCD makes it flexible for off-angle shooting and vlogging.
Pros:
- Full frame beginners, who don't want a big heavy camera. Occasional vloggers, and videographers who don't need to roll footage for long periods. Canon RF users looking for a second body with great image quality.
Cons:
- High-speed sports shooting. Those hoping for a wide array of affordable lenses. Wilderness types who venture away from power outlets for days on end.

Canon EOS R8 review: Punching above its weight
If you're keen to get into full-frame photography or filmmaking with a Canon camera, the EOS R8 is hard to resist. It offers a lot of the same features as the EOS R6 Mark II, and it does so for a grand less. Think of the lens you could buy with the savings! There are a few things that we don't like, the simplified controls being the main one. We especially missed the rear wheel on this model, and a bigger battery would sweeten the deal, too. There's also no IBIS, but that posed less of an issue in reality than we thought it might.
Pros:
- Extremely compact and lightweight
- Excellent full-frame sensor
- Superb autofocus
- Oversampled 4K60 with no crop
- 40fps bursts with the electronic shutter
Cons:
- No joystick or rear dial
- No IBIS
- Relatively small battery
