Canon EOS R8 review: the best full-frame camera for beginners?

 

The small-bodied full-frame camera from Canon's EOS R mirrorless series, the R8, has plenty to big itself up about

Canon’s lightest full-frame camera ; Detailed naturalistic images ; Lightning-quick autofocus ; User-friendly operation

Misses out on body integral image stabilisation ; Lightweight body feels a tad insubstantial ; So-so battery life

The Canon EOS R8 is the lightest full-frame mirrorless camera that the photography stalwart offers, targeting existing DSLR users, content creators, and students wanting an affordable entry point into the Canon EOS R system. It might be lightweight and...

Canon EOS R8 review: full-frame, simplified

 

Does this mashup of the EOS RP and EOS R6 Mark II hit the sweet spot?

Excellent tracking and autofocus ; Very affordable for a full-frame camera ; Lightweight and compact form factor

Low-resolution EVF and LCD screen ; No IBIS ; Small battery means shorter battery life

The Canon EOS R8 is one of the cheapest full-frame cameras on the market, and while it is missing some high-end features you won’t find a better full-frame camera for this price. Its design and handling are beginner-friendly, but if you’re more...

Hands on: Canon EOS R8 review – quality performance for a friendly price

 

Much of the EOS R6 II tech, in Canon's lightest full-frame mirrorless camera

Same 24MP sensor as EOS R6 II ; Canon's lightest full-frame mirrorless camera ; Excellent video features ; Decent price for a Canon

Modest battery life ; Basic control layout considering feature set ; No IBIS

In this day and age, new tech that costs less is always welcome, and what Canon has done with the EOS R8 is create a full-frame camera with serious power, in a low-cost simplified body. It is positioned and priced between the EOS R6 II and EOS RP and a...

Canon EOS R7 review: Now we just need some lenses

 

The R7 is Canon's flagship APS-C camera and it's one of the first APS-C cameras to utilise the brand's RF mount. We put it to the test.

Great autofocus and subject recognition ; Capable IBIS system ; Ergonomic design ; Speedy burst shooting ; Good value for money

Very few RF lenses designed for APS-C ; The new rear wheel isn't great ; Slow sensor readout can introduce rolling shutter

The Canon R7 is an extremely capable and well-priced camera but it's let down by its lack of lens options. If Canon releases some more compelling glass for the RF-S system, it'll be much easier to recommend.

Canon EOS R8 Review: Budget Full Frame Power With Compromises - SlashGear

 

The Canon EOS R8 takes parts from a couple of different cameras and makes a new product that's high in value, but only if you need this sort of power.

High Performance at a Low Price ; Fantastic Low Light Images ; Full Frame 4K60 Footage

Cheap Construction ; Lacking in Physical Controls ; Overheats at Highest Video Settings
