- General
- Brand: Canon
- Model Number: 5803C012
- Product Name: EOS R8 4K Video Mirrorless Camera with RF24-50mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM Lens
- Color: Black
- Product Set: Body + RF24-50mm Lens
- Camera Model Family: Canon R8
- Digital Camera Type: Mirrorless Camera with Lens
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Sensor Size: 35mm Full Frame (36 x 24 mm)
- Total Pixels: 25 megapixels (Generally, the more pixels, the higher the image resolution and the finer the detail that can be seen.)
- Digital Zoom: 10x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- Image File Format(s): JPEG, HEIF, RAW (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
- Focus
- Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
- Eye Autofocus (Eye AF): true (Automatically seeks out and focuses on the subject's eye and holds it as the camera and subject move and as the photographer shoots at high frame rates.)
- Number of Autofocus Points (Up To): 4897
- Exposure Control
- Shutter Speeds: Electronic 1st-curtain shutter:1/4000th sec – 30 seconds, in 1/3 or ½-step increments. Electronic shutter:1/8000th sec – 30 seconds, in 1/3 or ½-step increments. (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
- Minimum Aperture: f/6.3 (The smallest opening of a lens, typically expressed in f-numbers. The larger the number, the smaller the aperture and the less light that can enter the lens. A smaller aperture creates a larger depth of field, which keeps both foreground and background in focus.)
- Maximum Aperture: f/4.5 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)
- Minimum ISO: 100 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. When there is plenty of light, using the lowest ISO setting available will typically result in a higher quality image.)
- Maximum ISO: 102400 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. In low-light environments, using a higher ISO setting helps to capture a sharp, bright image.)
- Maximum Expandable ISO: 204800 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. Expandable ISO settings use software to simulate brighter images than the device's native ISO range is capable of capturing.)
- Burst Mode: true (Also referred to as continuous shooting. This feature captures multiple shots in rapid succession.)
- Self Timer: true
- Self-Timer Delay: 2 seconds, 10 seconds, Continuous shooting
- Shooting Modes: (1) Scene Intelligent Auto (2) Hybrid Auto (3) Special Scenes (4) Creative Filters (5) Flexible-priority AE (6) Program AE (7) Shutter-priority AE (8) Aperture-priority AE (9) Manual Exposure (10) Bulb Exposure (11) Custom Shooting Modes C1, C2, C3 (Exposure modes employed by the photographer to control the optimal aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and other settings for capturing specific subjects/scenes. Examples include Aperture-Priority, Macro, and Manual modes.)
- White Balance Modes: (1) Auto (Ambience priority/White priority) (2) Daylight (3) Shade (4) Cloudy*1 (5) Tungsten light (6) White fluorescent light (7) Flash (8) Custom (Custom WB) (9) Color temperature*2 *1: Effective also in twilight and sunset. (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
- Effective Pixels: 24.2 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Lens
- Lens Mount Compatibility: Canon RF
- Lens Type: Wide Angle zoom
- Minimum Focal Length: 24 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)
- Maximum Focal Length: 50 millimeters (The maximum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The greater the focal length, the smaller the area of scene captured.)
- In-Lens Image Stabilization: true (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. Lens stabilization means an element within the lens moves automatically to counteract detected motion.)
- Lens Series: Canon RF (The product group that the lens belongs to, based on similar shared features.)
- Lens Model Number: 5823C002

- Screen Size: 3 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
- Viewfinder Type: Electronic (A viewfinder is the part of a camera (or attachment) that allows you to see and focus a scene in frame. Optical viewfinders let you view the scene directly through the lens. Electronic viewfinders display the image on a screen in its approximate final form.)
- Viewfinder Magnification: 0.7 times (The measurement of the apparent size of the image in the viewfinder compared to how it would be seen with the naked eye.)
- Touch Screen: true (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
- Varying Angle Screen: true (The camera's screen can be flipped out and adjusted to rotate, tilt, and/or swivel.)

- Video Resolution(s) and Frame Rate(s): 4K (2160p) video recording (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, and the frame rate used to capture the video. The higher the resolution the finer the video detail that can be seen. The faster the frame rate the smoother the playback for higher motion activities like sports.)

Absolutely LOVE this camera - Amazing quality
I had an amazing experience at the Best Buy in Frisco, TX thanks to Ken! He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and helpful throughout the entire process of choosing the right travel camera. He spent so much time answering all of my questions and made sure I felt confident in my purchase. I normally shoot with a Canon R6 for my photography business, so I definitely didn’t want to sacrifice on quality. Ken helped me choose the Canon R8, and I’ve been blown away by how great the quality is—especially for a lighter, more travel-friendly setup. It’s the perfect backup camera for my professional work and exceeded my expectations. The camera performed beautifully on my trip—I captured stunning photos and videos, and the highlight was when my sister-in-law used it to capture the moment I got engaged! We used the kit lens the entire trip - which we loved the zoom capabilities. Thank you, Ken, for going above and beyond. I’m beyond happy with my purchase!

The Canon EOS R8 has completely exceeded my expectations! This camera delivers stunning image quality, fast and accurate autofocus, and impressive low-light performance in a lightweight, compact body. It’s the perfect choice for anyone who wants full-frame power without the bulk. One of the standout features is Canon’s Dual Pixel AF, which locks onto subjects effortlessly, making it fantastic for both portraits and action shots. The 4K 60p video is crisp and detailed, with beautiful colors straight out of the camera—great for content creators who want high-quality footage without needing heavy post-processing. Despite its compact size, the R8 doesn’t compromise on performance. The high dynamic range, fast burst shooting, and intuitive controls make it an absolute joy to use. It’s also an amazing value for a full-frame mirrorless camera, offering features that rival much pricier models. If you’re looking for a lightweight, travel-friendly, and powerful full-frame camera, the Canon EOS R8 is a no-brainer. Highly recommend!
