Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great upgrade from an old Canon T3i. This camera is super lightweight and does have a smaller body, so maybe not super ideal for large hands. But photos are crisp and functions that I've used so far have been fantastic.

This camera has helped my business grow so fast! For the last few weeks, I’ve been using this camera to help a used car dealership in Tempe, AZ, called LeSueur Car Company, to have a little bit more reach on their social media platforms! The images are crisper/sharper, and I’ve been able to successfully learn more for my own business!

Recently purchased an R8, I must say this is a great all around camera! Lightweight, fast auto focus and images are sharp! For the price you can’t beat it. Pair it with some RF glass and you are good to go!

The Canon EOS R8 is a fantastic camera that delivers beautiful photos and smooth, high-quality video in a lightweight and easy-to-use design. Whether you're capturing everyday moments or professional content, it offers fast and accurate focus, even on moving subjects.

Amazing camera. Great in low light and super fast auto focus.

Perfect mirrorless camera for someone wanting to make a small but solid jump from a DSLR. I've had this camera for a year and paired with the right lenses it's worked great for everything from portraits to sports and even some vacation landscape photography. After about 6 months I started saving up for the r6 mark ii because I wanted to be able to more with my camera. But this one could have easily been my main camera for years if I didn't want to grow.

When it comes to ease of use , along with the lightweight, this camera is super hot. I take a lot of portrait photos and even videos — couldn’t have asked for a better camera at this price point. Awesome job, Canon .

Excellent camera, light weight but with top quality pictures. Easy to carry, less space needed even with lens attached.

Great product! Coming from a DLSR camera to my first mirrorless camera I’ve enjoyed the range of this camera. Great video capabilities and the auto focus is a major plus

Great camera, it has autofocus system from a $6000 pro camera and other features from its bigger brother EOS R6 Mark II. The only downside are the poor battery life, heating issue with 4k60 video, and it only has 1 card slot (I wouldn’t use it for client work such has wedding). It is perfect for still photography for intermediate and entry level photographer or pro that need a backup second camera.

I finally moved up to full frame after many years of shooting Canon APS-C cameras and collecting a decent amount of EF lenses. The RF (and EF-RF) adapter truly unlock the next level of photo/video. There are so so many more features and settings than the camera I came from (SL1) and a learning curve, but it's a camera to grow into. Impressive still and video quality from such a small and light camera is amazing. It's perfect for traveling with a little 28mm RF pancake lens. Truly a great step-up.

great camera so far. really have enjoyed the ease of use of this one. I went back and forth on a few different canons to go with my 70-200mm rf lense, and settled on this one since i'm just a beginner doing this for the niece's sports. I like it a lot and it takes good pictures and videos. Can't wait to use it more.

I have used the R8 for a few months now and it has improved my photography. It is easy to use and feels good in the hand. Video is also very clear and fun to use paired with the correct sd card.

This is an excellent camera body to use for all types of different photography. Fast, sharp autofocus comes in handy. Also, the higher iso works well in lower light situations indoors. Just keep an eye on the internal temps as it can run hot, especially outdoors on a hot day. The R7 is a better choice for that. All in all, i really like it and have considered buying a second body.

Really like the camera very nice. Good choice of camera.

Absolute Bang for the Buck purchase. After doing lots of homework on these cameras, the jump from this camera really is the Canon R5 M2. In other words, the R6 doesn't really justify the difference in price. As many experts would say; in this case, spend the difference in the price on a stellar lens instead of the R6. So your lens will cost more than the body...Sure its not typical, but when you decide to spend 3 times the money...get the R5 and just move the lens over to that body. For now...get the R8. The colors are spot on. Its super quick. touch screen display alleviates the joystick and wheel. A second battery is important, but still less than buying the R6. Looking back Canon probably wishes they hadn't made this camera so good.

Excellent image quality and very easy to use. Perfect for beginners and everyday photography. Great value

great camera quality is unbelievable easy to use would recommend buying

I am transitioning from an R6 and this feels fantastic it's a super small size and the image quality is spectacular. Battery life is no where near as bad as people may lead you to believe. Still worth grabbing a second battery though, two is one and one is none.

Absolutely incredible value for what it is. I'm coming to the R8 from an R5 and I was worried I'd be disappointed in one way or another but I find myself using this more than the R5. Image quality is great, as is video quality. I love that its just a tad smaller in all dimensions compared to the R5 for traveling.
