Canon EOS R8 review
The Canon EOS R8 essentially takes the sensor of the higher-end R6 II and packs it into a simpler, lighter body more akin to the entry-level RP. As such it’s perfectly positioned between those two models, delivering the photo, video and autofocus of the R6 II at a much more affordable price.

Canon EOS R8 Review: Budget Full Frame Power With Compromises
This month, the Canon EOS R8 joins the increasingly crowded market of entry-level full-frame mirrorless systems. At $1,500 it undercuts the price of the Lumix S5-II I reviewed recently – and that camera was already a decent value.
Pros:
- High Performance at a Low Price, Fantastic Low Light Images, Full Frame 4K60 Footage
Cons:
- Cheap Construction, Lacking in Physical Controls, Overheats at Highest Video Settings

Canon EOS R8 review
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 advanced then you’ll likely outgrow this camera before...
Pros:
- Excellent tracking and autofocus, Very affordable for a full-frame camera, Lightweight and compact form factor
Cons:
- Low-resolution EVF and LCD screen, No IBIS, Small battery means shorter battery life

Canon EOS R8 review
The Canon EOS R8’s compact size and light weight make it very competitive in the enthusiast camera category, although the lack of adequate weatherproofing will be a disincentive to outdoor photographers.

Canon EOS R8 Review: An Annoyingly Good Camera
“Wait, they don’t even sell it as a kit with some L-glass?” I asked my friend on the phone when I got the Canon EOS R8 in for review. And so, I tried to figure out what lenses to test it with.
Pros:
- Good image quality, Small, Lightweight, The autofocus really works, Very affordable
Cons:
- I wish the weather resistance was even better, and that it had a bundle with L lenses, Otherwise, I’m truly annoyed at how this camera even gives the R5 a run for its money in some ways

Canon EOS R8 review
It took a while before Canon found its footing in the full-frame mirrorless camera market, and the R8 is a solid option for those looking to get into the full-frame RF system in the Philippines without spending a lot.

Canon EOS R8 review: Punching above its weight
If you're keen to get into full-frame photography or filmmaking with a Canon camera, the EOS R8 is hard to resist. It offers a lot of the same features as the EOS R6 Mark II, and it does so for a grand less. Think of the lens you could buy with the savings! There are a few things that we don't like, the simplified controls being the main one. We especially missed the rear wheel on this model, and a bigger battery would sweeten the deal, too. There's also no IBIS, but that posed less of an issue in reality than we thought it might.
Pros:
- Extremely compact and lightweight
- Excellent full-frame sensor
- Superb autofocus
- Oversampled 4K60 with no crop
- 40fps bursts with the electronic shutter
Cons:
- No joystick or rear dial
- No IBIS
- Relatively small battery
