Give your creativity a full-frame upgrade with a lightweight hybrid camera that delivers superb photos and video. This mid-range mirrorless camera has a 24.2 megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor that’s perfect for low-light portrait photography and wide, expansive landscapes. Its larger full-frame sensor gives beautiful bokeh and sensational image quality. The EOS R8 is a great option for hybrid shooting, thanks to its high-quality 4K 60p video mode – achieved by 6K oversampling – and easy-to-use pro filmmaking features. Dual Pixel CMOS AF II technology identifies, recognises and tracks subjects right across the frame, keeping them sharp whether you’re shooting photos or video. And shooting moving objects is easy, thanks to a 40fps¹ electronic shutter. This is a connected camera too, able to work with your smartphone or computer for easy image sharing and remote control.
