The Canon EOS R8 is equipped with the same sensor found in the Canon EOS R6 Mark II but with nearly the same form factor as the entry-level EOS RP, making it a great choice for anyone looking for an affordable full frame option that can still record in 4K. Here are the other standout features: 

• ProRes Raw 6K60p out via the micro-HDMI port when paired with a compatible recorder.
• Raw Burst Mode at up to 30 FPS as well as 40 FPS with the electronic shutter (6 FPS with electronic first curtain shutter).
• Highly responsive Dual Pixel CMOS AF II system.
• 4K60p recording in 4:2:2 10-bit.
• In-lens image stabilization (when paired with compatible RF lenses – lenses not included).
• A single UHS-II bus SD card slot.
• Bluetooth and 5/2.4 GHz WiFi for wireless transfers and remote camera control from mobile devices.
• Multi-function shoe for adding digital microphones.
• UVC/UAC compatibility, allowing the R8 to be used as a web camera to stream live video in Full HD.

The Canon EOS R8 allows you to achieve creativity both professionally and in your everyday life thanks to these hybrid features. 

New to Canon EOS R Cameras?

A few notes about Canon's EOS R line of mirrorless cameras: The EOS R8 is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing EF and EF-S lenses with the use of optional RF adapters. However, it is recommended that you pair this camera with its native RF mount lenses. The difference lies in the location of the 3-tab bayonet connection point, making the use of adapters when using EF/EF-S lenses required. The flange distance (the distance between a lens' mount and the surface of the sensor) has been reduced from 44mm in the EF/EF-S system to a mere 20mm for this new RF lens system. Having larger optical elements very close to the sensor means fewer aberrations, greater brightness, and better image performance overall. This all is in service of the new RF lenses, which are extremely sharp and offer the latest optical technology from Canon.
