- Uncropped 4K up to 60p and 10-bit C-Log 3, though it omits in-body stabilization.
Who it's for
The Canon EOS R8 is a 24.2MP full-frame mirrorless camera, geared toward fast action and wildlife. Here's where it fits and what to keep in mind.
Best for
- ✓Action, sports and wildlife — 40fps burst with subject-detection AF.
- ✓Video and filmmaking — 4K up to 60p, 10-bit internal and Log.
- ✓Vlogging and handheld video — flip-out screen and a mic input.
- ✓Low-light and events — a large full-frame sensor and ISO to 102,400.
Keep in mind
- !No in-body stabilisation — you'll lean on stabilised lenses for slow handheld shots.
- !Single card slot — no in-camera backup, which matters for critical paid jobs.
