The Canon EOS R8 allows your creative clients to make the switch to full-frame. This mirrorless hybrid camera offers new shooting possibilities for those coming from DSLR or APS-C cameras. Weighing just 461 g, it is the lightest full-frame mirrorless camera ever. The EOS R8 features a 24.2-megapixel full-frame sensor, offering the perfect balance between image quality, speed and performance. Anyone new to full-frame photography can expect: high-quality portraits with beautiful bokeh, thanks to a shallow depth of field, and a wider angle of view at every focal length, ideal for landscapes and reportage.
