This is my first mirrorless camera and I selected the R8 for its feature rich full-frame body as an upgrade from my 5D mkii and 5D SR bodies - which are nearly twice the size and weight. Digic-X is amazing, AF is lightening fast and accurate, connectivity is easy, and, of course, the photo quality is superb. This diminutive body does lack IBIS and has pitiful battery life - but these are easily managed, especially at this price compared to the R6 mk ii! Read more

I love the Canon R8. I think its the most Bang for your buck for a full-frame camera. The auto focus is blazing fast and the photo quality is all I will need for a long time. Also, being able to record in 6K video is amazing. Read more

I love this camera. It has fantastic autofocus, feels good in the hands, and takes outstanding photos and video. It has excellent low light performance. This is the least expensive, yet fully featured full frame camera offered by Canon. It has most of the features, and the advanced internal processing similar to the more expensive "professional" Canon cameras, but at an enthusiast price point. For professional quality photos and videos, and a camera that offers a full frame sensor, the R8 represents a tremendous value. Be aware that this camera requires the use of full frame RF canon lenses, which are a bit more expensive and heavy then the lenses offered for their APSC camera bodies. Read more

If you are wanting to jump into the full frame camera world, then this is a great option. The Canon RF system is growing in leaps and bounds and this body is a great price to get started. It has all the internals of the Canon R6II so you get the fast AF, accurate tracking, and amazing picture quality. The battery is much smaller in this model but you can buy replacements at a good price. It only has one card reader but that is more than sufficient for beginners. The camera is lighter and smaller than the R6II so I find it easy to carry for travel and walking. With the 50mm lens I find it to be a great street photography camera. Video is amazing as well with 4K60 in C-LOG3 that is beautiful. Overall this is a bargain for entry into the RF system and provides amazing images, fast autofocus, and lightweight. You can not go wrong with this camera. Read more

ok so i bought this unit nov of 2023, its been around a year owning this and i've done extensive testing using many lenses, some i own and some i rent. here's the jist of it all: this camera shoots ridiculously fast in ES, i personally never shoot EFCS since its slow and makes a sound. this brings me to first 'issue' or lack thereof: the electronic shutter does have rolling shutter but its very miniscule (readout speed is 14ms), notice subaru photo backgrounds might get slanted but not to a concerning level at all, completely usable. continuing on rolling shutter, u do see artifacts at times, however it not ur doing more so the les's stabilization will jitter and thats what causes it, these photos are at times still usable however can be ruined in like 25% of the time. the readout speed has some other issues, this is obviously not stacked and as a result shooting at 40fps with moving subjects 5-10% of shots will be slightly out of focus, given this is also lens related more often than not. rolling shutter at times can also cause soft photos while still usable it could be better but there should be somewhere this thing lacks i guess. this camera can charge with UBC C however you will need a source with power delivery, it will only pull 5w while charging and with 'mechanical shutter' shooting it can pull up to 9w but never more. i've hear people saying it needs 40w PD but that's just not true. btw it won't charge while using it and u still need a battery in there even if its empty. now the best part of this camera AutoFocus: what can i say, find me something better and will admit being wrong in shame but hasn't happened yet. it matters what kind of subject u tell the camera to detect, on its own and on auto it will do a fine job and will not get distracted(signature canon), however when u tell it to detect animals/cars.... sit back and be amazed. Once in a dark alley i had my camera in car detect and it would behave weirdly, it kept focusing on some random dark corner of the image and i was pissed. i missed the shot got back home editing and guess what, there was a parked car there which i couldn't see since it was pretty much completely black. image quality is pro level, and iso performance will blow anything else out of the water, this is a sweat spot of pixel size(being 24mp) and full frame, u pull data out of places that had no data, truly baffling. level of detail is also godly, individual eyelashes are sharp and noticeable. body is the same as the rp, proven design quality build that you expect. not weather sealed but weather resistant, i used this camera in light rain no issues. i also got splashed once next to the pool with a weather sealed lens and all still working great(4 months later) but i do own a rain cover for it which i do still recommend. fun fact, instead of buying a grips for the r8 which are fairly expensive, try buying rp grips/ l bracket they fit just fine. bottom of this device is identical to the rp. camera body is also very small not pocketable by any extent but fairly compact. anything else you can just watch a review. also i heard it overheated, maybe in video but in my photography first experience it overheated once when it was left in the sun for 1 hour on a very hot day, never seen that error again, i was worried it would happen during the summer but it didn't. i have heard that there is some sample variation on this topic though. i don't think you can go wrong with this, even if ur a pro this would be a fantastic b cam or rather large EDC.
