Features
Summarize
Perspective
The Canon EOS R8 is offered as body-only or in a body-and-lens kit package with a Canon RF 24-50mm f 4.5-6.3 IS STM zoom lens at a suggested retail price of US$1,699.[3][5]
Image features
The Canon EOS R8 largely shares the imaging system of the Canon EOS R6 Mark II, including a 24.2 megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor, an advanced Dual Pixel AF system with tracking and subject recognition capabilities, as well as a DIGIC X processor. However, it omits in-body image stabilization to keep the body size the same as the Canon EOS RP.[2][6]
ISO
The EOS R8 has a maximum ISO sensitivity of 102,400 (expandable to 204,800) and a minimum of 100 (expandable to 50), and in video it can capture up to ISO 25,600 (expandable to 102,400).[2][6]
Shutter
The camera has an electronic shutter that shoots up to 40 frames per second and an electronic first curtain shutter that eliminates rolling-shutter and shoots up to 6 frames per second.[2][6]
Focusing
The EOS R8 uses Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF II system to capture and record and offers 100% horizontal and 100% vertical focus coverage with Face + Tracking and Auto Selection modes and 100% horizontal and 90% vertical focus coverage with manual selection and large zone modes. It has 4897 AF points.[2][6]
Video
The EOS R8 can record video with up to 4K UHD (3840 × 2160) resolution at 59.94 frames per second with 10-bit color and support for HDR and C-Log3 profiles (oversampled from 6k). It can shoot up to 180 fps in Full HD giving the option for slow-motion. It also offers 3–5 seconds pre-record capability, which adds 3–5 seconds of footage before pressing the shutter.[2][3][5][6]
Ergonomics
The EOS R8 weighs 414 g (461 g with card and battery), which makes it the lightest full-frame camera on the market. Its design is based on its predecessor, the Canon EOS RP.[2][3][6]
On the back it has a 7.5 cm (3.0’’) Clear View LCD II fully-articulating touchscreen with a resolution of approximately 1.62 million pixels. It also features a 0.39 inch OLED color EVF that has a resolution of 2.36 million dots (1024 × 768) and 0.7x magnification, identical to its predecessor.[2][3][6]

Lenses
The EOS R8 uses Canon's RF lens mount. It is possible to use older EF and EF-S lenses with the use of an EF/EF-S to RF adapter.[7] At launch it had 38 native lenses available. Due to its full-frame sensor, RF and EF lenses are uncropped when used on the EOS R8.[2][8]
