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

Canon EOS R8 Review | Entry-Level Full-Frame Mirrorless Done Right?
All things considered, the Canon EOS R8 delivers the imagery Canon is known for. With its semi-professional sensor and autofocus system, you’ll love the results! Also, you’ll probably love just using the camera, too, especially if you’re a beginner who does a little bit of everything.

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: 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 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
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
