Perfect upgrade from EOS RP. Nearly perfect overall camera
TLDR: This camera is an absolute POWERHOUSE and I plan to use it as my main camera for many years and I personally recommend this to absolutely anyone that is looking for a camera in this price range.I started this hobby in 2020 with the EOS RP and absolutely adored it for taking pictures, however, once I started to get more into Videography I began to notice its downsides. Photos on the camera were basically perfect, but the Rolling Shutter and overall lack of video features really hurt my enjoyment of that camera.The EOS R8 completely fixes these issues.Although the RP was great for shooting portraits and slow-moving subjects it definitely started to fall apart as soon as you needed to take any kind of “Action Photos” such as Kids or Animals running around or fast-paced sports due to the extremely slow FPS when Continuous Auto-focus engaged (roughly 3FPS and up to 6 without Continuous AF). On the R8 you can get up to 40FPS In Electronic Shutter with FULL AF capabilities, which is absolutely insane when coming from the RP and even when comparing it to other cameras at much higher price points. The Electronic Shutter does exhibit a bit of rolling shutter, but I wouldn’t worry too much about it unless you primarily take photos of extremely quick-moving subjects such as Tennis players swinging their rackets, Golfers Swinging their clubs, or anything else that would be moving at extreme speeds. But even in these scenarios, you will likely be fine simply due to the sensor having an incredibly quick read-out.The video quality is also MASSIVELY improved on the R8. The video on the RP was usable at 1080p but the rolling shutter and complete lack of Dual-pixel AF made 4k completely useless and made it feel more like a feature that was “tacked on” rather than properly implemented. The other issues such as the rather low bitrate, complete lack of any LOG profiles, and the 1.76x crop factor in 4K made me actively avoid using the camera for Video in many situations.On the other hand, the R8 has an incredible amount of recording modes compared to the RP, offering uncropped full-frame 4K60 video, 180fps 1080p Slo-mo, C-LOG3, and HDR PQ, as well as a “Movie Crop” mode that crops into the sensor essentially giving you the FOV of a Canon APS-C Camera. Using this mode you will not lose any video quality since the camera is binning the cropped 4K image from the 6K resolution of said sensor. I personally find myself using this mode a ton as the extra reach I get from my lenses is extremely useful and helps when I’m trying to record the action from a rather far distance.I should also note that Rolling Shutter in video mode is still present, but it is so minor that I would not personally consider it as a reason to not buy the camera.The main cons that people seem to have with the R8 are the lack of IBS (In-body Image Stabilization), relatively low Frame Rate when taking photos using the Electronic First-Curtain Shutter (6FPS), and the poor battery life from the Canon LP-E17 Battery which the EOS RP also used.My personal opinions and experiences with these cons are as followsLack of IBS: It definitely would have been nice to have, but since I’ve never owned a camera with IBS I’m not too sure what I’m missing out on. I’ve also heard that Canon’s IBS implementation isn’t as good as some other companies and it allegedly exhibits a sort of “wobble effect” on the edges of the image when using a Wide Angle Lens. The R8 does offer Digital Stabilization for video which simply crops into the image to stabilize the footage. This feature is pretty decent, however, the stabilization causes the image to lock onto a moving subject and subtly moves the image around to keep the subject in the frame. It’s hard to explain but think of those popular TikToks where the person is dancing and the camera keeps them perfectly in frame. This anomaly goes away however once you turn this stabilization off.Low FPS when in Electronic First-Curtain shutter mode: I almost always shoot in Electronic Shutter due to how fast the readout is and the more or less complete lack of Rolling Shutter. I would only consider this an issue if your primary shooting subjects are extremely fast-moving and you cannot risk any kind of rolling shutter but honestly, if you are in the market for truly professional features and selling points you just won’t find it in this price range. Not yet at least.Finally, the Battery Capacity: It’s not great, but it’s far from being a deal breaker. I’ve taken upwards of 500 pictures in Electronic Shutter and still wasn’t required to change the battery. You should be able to get around an hour out of recording before the battery dies. You can also buy a dummy battery to increase the record time. Though, the camera CAN overheat if you are recording at 4K60 for an extended period of time (roughly 30 minutes straight).Like I said in my TLDR, this camera is incredible and the only cons the community has with the camera should most definitely not deter you from buying it.

Excellent
This is no doubt Best full frame camera you can buy for 1500$ of course in my opinion is not good for big projects cuz it only has 1 slot for SD cards but it’s an excellent equipment specially for photography, for videos you have better options, is not bad for shorts videos tho…

Amazing upgrade from EF generation.
This thing is awesome. People who come from a bigger camera say it’s small. But coming from a t6i this is a massive upgrade. Paired with a great lens, this is a beast!

Loving it
So far, I love. By no means am I an expert but always wanted to learn photography. Did a lot of research and this product is a great starting point all the way up to professionals.

My go to camera I use it everyday.
Great camera. I have shot over 10K photos with it and many videos. Only thing to remember is buy extra batteries. Make sure to buy real Canon batteries and not the cheap ones.

I wish I could give it 4.5 stars
There isnât much negative to say about this camera. I had a cropped sensor 90d that I liked but I wanted full frame and 10bit video. The image quality from this camera is great. Itâs the perfect entry into full frame cameras. Itâs the exact same camera as the Canon R6 mark ii, with 3 or 4 little differences. The sensor and electronics are the same, the video is the same, but the body and a few features are different.The body is smaller, more like an EOS RP. I have big hands so I opted to spend the money to get the separate riser plate (I almost went with a dual battery grip but because the memory card slot is in the battery bay, itâs more of a hassle. The riser gives you access to both card and battery). Thereâs no in body image stabilization.Like the photo quality, the video quality is also nice. Iâve only tested it once or twice, but you can shoot in Canon Log 10 bit. This means more color information in the video than my 8bit 90d standard video, and I can do a lot more with editing/color grading. Itâs also 4k downsampled from the 6k sensor, meaning it uses the full sensor and your image is actually a little better than standard 4k.I love shooting with it, and highly recommend. Itâs incredibly lightweight as well so fitting it on a gimbal would be a piece of cake. I bought a Mieke EF to RF adapter ($55) so I can use my old lenses, and have zero issues with connection or autofocus. The photos Iâve added were shot with the R8 and an RF 85mm f2 lens.My only real âcomplaintsâ, which are minor inconveniences are the smaller batteries it takes (wish they were the Canon LP-N6 batteries), and that the memory card slot wasnât where the battery goes. Iâd much prefer to add a battery grip (taking care of the smaller battery problem, and the size factor all at once), and have a separate card slot. And I couldâve had the r6ii which is bigger and has the bigger batteries and separate card slot⦠but I opted for these minor inconveniences and saved a little money.Good little camera. 4.5/5 stars

Excelente calidad de imagen por el precio. Buena cámara de uso general, incluso buena para tomas de acción por sus 40 cuadros por segundo. Estuve considerando la R7 para la fotografÃa de fauna que hago, pero me decidà por esta dada la (mucho) mejor calidad de imagen y el (mucho) mejor autofocus. No tiene estabilizador, ni tercera rueda de control, solo una tarjeta en la misma puerta que la baterÃa pero para mà cumple con lo indispensable: excelente calidad de imagen, excelente autofocus, excelente rafaga y bufer suficiente.Obviamente para usar telefotos una APS hubiera sido de gran ayuda, pero dado que también hago paisaje, full frame es indispensable y la calidad a altos ISOs es excelente.
