Canon EOS R8
2023 · 24.2 MP · 35.9 x 23.9 mm · 461 g · 4K 60p (3840 x 2160)
The Canon EOS R8 is the lightest way into Canon's full-frame mirrorless system, aimed at enthusiasts upgrading from APS-C and at travelling photographers. It matters for its 24.2 MP full-frame sensor, Dual Pixel CMOS AF with 4,897 selectable positions, and 4K recording at up to 60p, all in a 461 g body. Electronic bursts reach 40 fps. It has no in-body stabilisation and a smaller battery, rated for about 370 shots. Compared with the EOS R6 Mark II, it keeps the resolution and autofocus but drops stabilisation and the mechanical shutter to save size and weight.
