Canon EOS R8 review
The Canon R8 is great for travel photography. It's relatively lightweight and portable for a full-frame camera. Its sensor captures very high-quality images, and it has a very effective autofocus system.
Pros:
- Excellent image quality., Lightweight and fairly portable., Fantastic autofocus.
Cons:
- Poor battery life., Somewhat cheap-feeling build quality.

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.

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.

That is a very small list of niggles to be concerned with, and overall, the EOS R8 delivers a solid little camera with a full-frame sensor. Enthusiasts and pros alike, if you’re looking for a compact full-frame body, the EOS R8 is a winner.
Pros:
- 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
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
