Thanks to a full-frame CMOS sensor with an effective pixel count of approximately 24.2 million¹, as well as a DIGIC X image processor, the EOS R8 realizes high image quality and enables exquisite background blur, high dynamic range and other means of rich expression only possible with full-frame cameras. In addition, the camera’s high standard sensitivity of ISO 102400 (when shooting still images) provides freedom of visual expression even in nighttime and low-light indoor environment. What’s more, the camera is easily portable, measuring just approximately 132.5 mm (W) x 86.1 mm (H) x 70.0 mm (D) and weighing approximately 461g—the lightest model in Canon’s EOS R series of full-frame mirrorless cameras².

Inheriting the high basic performance of the EOS R6 Mark II, the EOS R8 features high-speed, high-accuracy autofocus (AF) over a wide shooting range, as well as AF/AE tracking that enables high-speed shooting of up to approximately 40 frames per second (FPS)³ when using the electronic shutter. In addition, the camera is capable of shooting crop-less 4K/60P video with 6K oversampling and FHD/180P high-framerate video⁴. With the new “movie pre-recording” function⁵ that can capture a scene from 5 seconds or 3 seconds before the user’s recording cue, the EOS R8 also serves the growing need for video recording capabilities tailored to such formats as vlogs and social media.

1 Actual pixel count: 25.60 million pixels. Effective pixel count may decrease slightly depending on the attached lens or results of image processing.
2 As of February 8, 2023. Includes weight of battery and memory card. Based on CIPA standards.
3 For more information regarding operating conditions when measuring high-speed continuous shooting rates, as well as information regarding lenses that support the maximum speed for continuous shooting while using AF, please refer to the EOS R8 on the official Canon website (cam.start.canon).
4 Framerates: 4K/60P: 4K UHD (59.94 FPS / 50.00 FPS), FHD/180P FHD (179.82 FPS / 150.00 FPS)
5 Pre-recording is not available when shooting movies at high framerates or time-lapse movies. When pre-recording is activated, the camera tends to generate more heat, so it is recommended to lower the framerate or change the movie shooting mode to Full HD when shooting for long durations.
