Give your creativity a full-frame upgrade. Better bokeh, wider angles of view and image quality that will blow you away – even in low light.
The full-frame advantage also extends to video for spectacular cinematic results.
Stills or video: keep subjects in sharp focus as they move around the frame.
Enjoy wider dynamic range, reduced digital noise and crystal-clear detail – that’s the EOS R8’s full-frame advantage
Perfect for powerful portraits. With a larger sensor comes shallower depth of field and more dynamic range. Make your subject stand out against a smooth, out-of-focus background with beautiful bokeh. Capture more details in highlights and shadows.
Transform the way you see the landscape, and get up close for immersive documentary images.
Full-frame cameras, like the EOS R8, are great for capturing atmospheric images in low-light conditions.
Compare the EOS R8’s background blur with that of an APS-C camera. Pin-sharp subjects are emphasised better against smooth, out-of-focus backgrounds.
See how a 15mm lens looks on the full-frame EOS R8, compared with an EOS camera with a smaller APS-C sensor. Any given focal length gives a 1.6x wider angle of view.
By oversampling 6K sensor data, the EOS R8 produces high-quality 4K video footage at frame rates up to 60p.1 If you’re new to video, you’ll love how simple the camera makes it to get creative with different frame rates and resolutions. You’ll appreciate its advanced features as you become an accomplished filmmaker.
Use the EOS R8’s low-contrast Canon Log 3 colour profile for more options while colour grading. This footage preserves detail in bright highlights and dark shadows, thanks to its wide, dynamic range.
Add feeling and emotion to movement, shooting at up to 180p in Full HD.2 When viewed at normal playback speeds, this shows subjects in sumptuous slow motion – revealing hidden details of their movement.
Gauge the perfect exposure. Six coloured overlays show the distribution of luminance in a scene.
Master critical sharpness when focusing manually. In-focus areas are outlined with a distinctive (and customisable) colour.
Striped overlays make it quick and simple to judge the correct exposure
Change your view, even when shooting video with prime lenses, with up to 10x digital zoom.3
The EOS R8 is our lightest full-frame, mirrorless camera yet, weighing in at just 461g. Enjoy the full-frame advantage everywhere you shoot, from decisive moments on the streets to remote landscapes and adventures.
An ideal balance of detail, speed and low-light performance, whether you’re shooting photos or video.
Recognises and tracks subjects,* keeping them in sharp focus.
Use widely available SD cards to store your content – including fast UHS-II cards for high-speed shooting.
Inside the EOS R8 is our renowned Dual Pixel CMOS AF II focusing system. It recognises and tracks different subjects and is accurate even in very low light – down to -6.5EV.10
The EOS R8 has been programmed using a state-of-the-art machine-learning algorithm that lets it track moving subjects as they move about the frame.
No matter how you’re shooting, the EOS R8 tracks and follows moving subjects right to the edges of the frame.Even if the main subject is obscured for a moment, the camera anticipates its movement and reacquires focus as soon as it reappears.
When you’ve finished shooting, the EOS R8 gives you a plethora of ways to get started with your digital workflow.
Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth ensures your EOS R8 connects to smart devices, Wi-Fi networks and laptops. Share photos and movies with followers and friends, and control the camera remotely.
