The Canon EOS R8 is a full-frame RF-mount mirrorless camera. It combines a 24.2MP sensor, Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, electronic shooting at up to 40 fps and 4K 60p video.
The camera weighs approximately 414g body only and 461g with battery and card. The practical carrying weight depends mainly on the selected lens and accessories.
The electronic shutter reaches up to 40 fps. Electronic first-curtain shooting operates at up to approximately 6 fps, while RAW Burst reaches 30 fps with about 0.5 seconds of pre-capture. Performance varies with settings.
Its electronic burst and autofocus tracking suit fast subjects. Telephoto-lens choice, available light, burst depth and settings remain important for sport and wildlife.
The camera records 4K at up to 60p from 6K sensor data and Full HD at up to 180p depending on the mode. Canon Log 3 is available for a suitable post-production workflow.
No. The body does not include sensor-shift stabilisation. It can use optical stabilisation from a compatible lens and available digital stabilisation for video.
Choose body only if you already own RF lenses or want to select each focal length. A kit creates a complete setup. Always confirm the included lens and accessories on the exact product page.
The 24-50mm prioritises compactness, the 24-240mm a broad range and the 15-30mm wide framing. Compare focal range, aperture, optical stabilisation, weight and exact kit contents.
Fast 50mm and 85mm lenses prioritise portraiture and low light. A 70-200mm provides more working distance. Compare available space, rendering, weight and budget.
The 100-400mm offers accessible reach, the 100-500mm extends it further and the 70-200mm provides a faster aperture depending on the version. Compare distance, light, autofocus, weight and budget.
The Canon EOS R8 has one UHS-II-compatible SD, SDHC or SDXC card slot. It therefore cannot record to two cards simultaneously.
The Canon EOS R8 uses a Canon LP-E17 rechargeable battery. Practical battery life depends on screen or viewfinder use, temperature, connectivity, video and settings.
Yes, with a compatible EF-EOS R mount adapter. RF lenses mount directly. EF-M lenses are not compatible with the Canon EOS R8.
