The Canon EOS R8 - Make the leap

Give your creativity a full-frame upgrade with the Canon EOS R8, this lightweight mirrorless camera that delivers superb photos and video. Enjoy better bokeh, wider angles of view, and image quality that will blow you away, even in low light.
Watch Canon Ambassador, Martin Bissig, challenge content creators to take the leap to full frame. Current DSLR shooter, Alexandra Andreeva, takes on the challenge of creating a series of photos, that show the transformation of the city of Paris, aiming to become the greenest capital of Europe by 2030.
See the difference with next-level image quality
A full-frame, 24.2 megapixel sensor combines detail, speed and low-light performance at up to ISO 102,400.1 Capture details in the brightest and darkest parts of a landscape, and create portraits with beautiful bokeh.
Get serious about video
Shoot documentaries and independent films that stand out from the crowd. 4K footage at up to 60p, oversampled from 6K, looks sensational. Pro-filmmaking tools, such as Clog3, make it easy to shoot and colour grade your best work.
Lightweight design, heavyweight features
Our lightest full frame camera yet. At just 461g,2 the EOS R8 is great for content creators and anyone shooting events on location. A dedicated switch lets you swap between photo and video modes, retaining settings in each one.
Intelligent focusing that’s simply smart
Our class-leading Dual Pixel CMOS AF II recognises subjects even near the edges of the frame,3 and tracks them even if they briefly vanish from view. Shoot portraits or interviews and the AF locks on to a subject’s eyes, face, head or body.
Connected to your workflow
Connect to smart devices, Wi-Fi networks and laptops to share photos and movies with followers and friends, thanks to built-in Wi-Fi and ‘always on’ Bluetooth 4.2. You can even control the camera remotely from your phone and use the EOS R8 as a high-quality webcam.

Do it! Make sure you tag us if you post pictures from your new EOS R8!

is the whole video recorded on the r8 too?

[@pdovbnya]

the commercial says that the camera is amazing however, it seems that the one who is truly amazing here is the photographer

[@giannis148]

I'm ready to make the next step and upgrade from Canon M50 to a real Pro Camera. I would like some opinions about what camera to buy and why ( 3k euro max)

[@oscaroneill8222]

R8

[@reckerproduction9468]

No mechanical shutter is bad news for portrait photography with hss

[@IndigoEyePhotography]

It's still possible to get by with ND filters. There's risk of slight image degradation, but it's up to the user if they think that the higher price tags of the other R cameras are worth that. Personally, I think that HSS itself is a pain to work with, but I would have liked that option to remain available too.

[@SocialTrading]

So was the whole advert shot on the R8? And if not, what camera was used? Thanks

[@CanonEurope]

Hi! Where the screen overlay says "Shot on R8", you're looking at footage or images from the EOS R8. Otherwise this film was shot on a variety of EOS cameras 👍

[@LaMakinaFotonika]

please, give us clean hdmi output with screen on and internal recording! in all cameras!! or we will have to switch to lumix 😢 and also be able to see the depth of field in photography mode

[@honeybadger1656]

Would love it if you allow Sigma to make lenses for the mirrorless cameras....

[@artizt3863]

my idea of ​​a movie camera:I only imagine a film camera without shooting photography,only a movie camera,4k full frame, 10 bit, 4:2:2, 60p-100p without crop, C-log2.3, without full hd, good stabilization, reasonable length of shooting,without overheating...and price 2000-2500 dollars

[@tudorciobanu3895]

When you will bring the optical viewfinder back? When the camera form factor will be mor bigger? I don’t undeestand why your designers believe that a snall form factor is what we want

[@jrgenolesen5569]

Not all Camera users are Pro, some just like a small Camera which is substantial better then a smartphone and they would love this Camera. You apparently want a more advanced camera, therefore it doesnt make sense with your cpmments. And accept that the OVF is a thing of the past, now a days we use EVF and it works perfectly. It has a lot of advantages to the OVF.

[@stubones]

So buy the R5/6 or even the R3 if you can afford it.

[@tudorciobanu3895]

@@jrgenolesen5569 thanks for your response. OVF is not a thing of a past, Canon register their patent for a ML with OVF. Another example is Leica M with a ORF. You lost me when you referred to the contradiction, I said that a bigger form factor, like a grip which can accommodate all fingers, will be more conformable for me. Where is the contradiction? Anyway, thanks for your time.

[@pawelklimiuk8319]

What kind of bag is this?

[@stubones]

Where is the more pro oriented sports/wildlife APS-C body? The R7 isn’t it, due to your deliberate omission of the battery grip. Or at least give the full frame bodies the firmware update to shoot stills in crop mode like Nikon have done for years. Sure you can crop in post but if you need the “reach” as you shoot at least it’s there.

[@ushirogeri8085]

The lack of image stabilization is the biggest failure of this camera. Canon clearly stands apart from the competition.

[@Vishumanuಕನ್ನಡ]

Some canon r8 user complaint that it has heating issue and battery get drain easily is it true?

[@CanonEurope]

Hi! Ambient temperature will play a role in determining how long the EOS R8 can shoot video; if the internal temperature of the camera becomes too high recording times may reduce. If you refer to the EOS R8's manual (here: www.canon-europe.com/cameras/eos-r8/specifications/) you can find more information about recording times and battery life. Let us know if we can do anything more for you!

[@Vishumanuಕನ್ನಡ]

​@@CanonEuropethanks for the reply. For short movie content which is best R10 or R8?

[@CanonEurope]

@@Vishumanuಕನ್ನಡ Tough question! The EOS R8 is full-frame, which means shallower depth of field, great low-light performance, and 4K at up to 60fps, as well as a super high-quality 4K mode that's oversampled from 6K. The EOS R10 is a little lighter and has an APS-C sensor, which means every lens you attach has a little more reach. We have a handy camera comparison tool that might help you make your decision here: canon.sm/4bUwe94.

[@Vishumanuಕನ್ನಡ]

Save and go R6ii, better battery. I don't know what idiot at Canon's R&D insists on the LPE17 battery.

i want to make review on my channel

[@ochenpushistik]

dear canon. Photo enthusiasts and professionals all over the world love your cameras, but there is too much marketing and little canon philosophy in your cameras. Why make two almost identical cameras and that they somehow compete with each other, one cut the video functions, and the other removed the stabilizer on the matrix.

[@mostlymessingabout]

Because. Money 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@monetarnie3841]

This is a business

[@stubones]

Dear you, the R8 is significantly cheaper.

[@kenjiyamamoto423]

then you wanted a camera for 1,500usd with the same specs of R6ii are you stupid??? go to Nikon or Sony Brand,. then find a camera worth 1,500 usd that offers more than R8 can do,.

[@ochenpushistik]

@@kenjiyamamoto423 don't throw insults on the Internet, don't waste your time, I don't take them seriously. The point is that this is the same canon rp on digic 10 with minimal differences from the r6 mark2 and the price difference is high. Pure Marketing

@@kenjiyamamoto423 Dude's got a point though. Props to Canon for letting the R8 use the same sensor as in the more expensive R6II, but I think it's also time for Canon to let IBIS become a standard feature throughout the entire range. The 60D started the use of the fully-articulating screen, the 70D introduced dual-pixel AF, and both features are now present in pretty much every camera that they make. IBIS should be next in line.
