Canon EOS R8 review
An affordable camera that can punch above its weight in stills and 4K video. While its poor battery life keeps it from being a slam-dunk recommendation, you get a lot of camera for your money in the EOS R8. Its simple control scheme is great for beginners, and feature-packed for more advanced users, and its flip-out LCD makes it flexible for off-angle shooting and vlogging.
Pros:
- Full frame beginners, who don't want a big heavy camera. Occasional vloggers, and videographers who don't need to roll footage for long periods. Canon RF users looking for a second body with great image quality.
Cons:
- High-speed sports shooting. Those hoping for a wide array of affordable lenses. Wilderness types who venture away from power outlets for days on end.

- Ease to use, Feels great in the hands, Full-frame sensor, Versatile controls, Vari-angle touch screen is a great inclusion, Support for 4K video
Cons:
- Can sometimes be slow, Doesn't charge on all Type C connections

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
At times while reviewing it, I almost forgot that the Canon EOS R8 was an entry-level camera. With its full-frame sensor, generally excellent autofocus and 4K/60p video capabilities, it comes with a lot of features that, not too long ago, would be reserved for higher-end models.
Pros:
- Great photo and video quality, Lightweight, compact body, Excellent photography autofocus
Cons:
- No in-body image stabilisation, Short battery life, Recording time limitations
