Pros
  • Affordable price
  • Lightweight body
  • Twin dials
  • Over sampled 4K video recording
Cons
  • Lacks an AF joystick
  • Low resolution sensor
  • Loud shutter sound

The 24 megapixel full-frame sensor provides a fairly quick readout speed but has low resolution. The camera utilizes a first curtain shutter, which can result in truncated bokeh at fast speeds, and has a loud shutter sound.

It offers a shooting speed of 6 frames per second using the first curtain shutter, with a buffer of 96 shots in raw format. The autofocus system is one of the major strengths of the Canon EOS R8, providing excellent subject tracking. It also features over sampled 4K video recording at up to 60p and includes a microphone and headphone jack.
