Customer Ratings & Reviews

Upgraded and the R8 was a vast improvement over the last camera.

I bought this as an both a backup and on the go camera to avoid both taking my more expensive R6 into certain situations. and when I'm taking quick trips. Pros: It's has the most of the what makes the R6 Mark 2 great except IBS. Cons: The battery aren't that good but you can improve it by turning on Airplane Mode when not transferring photos, You can also keep the battery charged if to contact it to a power bank via USB-C Other than those it's a great on the go camera, make sure to buy at least 2 extra batteries for this one

Very easy to use and learn. Light weight and compact

The Cannon R8 is a great camera for capturing Photos and Video, I’m a freelance photographer and having this camera was like a Cheat code! If you’re looking for a great camera for Videography and photography this is the perfect camera for it!

Great quality first camera battery life average at best.

I used this body with my DSLR lenses from my old Canon camera (with the adapter) and it worked well. The camera takes crisp shots - especially good for portait photography. The resolution really makes the camera shine - when I look at my landscape shots, I can see the detail in trees etc even from far away. Feathers, eyes, etc. from close-ups also render quite well.

Perfect camera for travel .. lightweight .. great shots

Great little camera packed with features and priced nicely! Picture quality is way better than R7 IMO. I would recommend this camera to friends and family without hesitation!!

Battery life is as low as advertised but the camera itself is amazing. It did overheat but it wasn’t a deal breaker.

This kind of replaces the Canon R but it’s one step down. I thought it would be similar but it is slightly less worth it than the R. The battery is tiny. And also I have never seen a heat monitor on an lcd of dslrs. I was taking pictures outdoors here in Texas and I had just started taking pictures and the temp icon comes on, I was surprised this even existed. I was nervous this would have over heated and timed out on me. If you can step further up from this camera, DO IT.

Awesome camera with great features and at fraction of the price of the higher price canon cameras. The only con would be the missing in body stablization, but i knew that bwforw buying the camera so not really a con foe the price.

I’ve waited a long time to upgrade my camera and was unsure which one I wanted to go with. I’m more of a hobby photographer and while the r6 mark ii was tempting, this camera has a lot of the same features and quite a bit cheaper.

I had a DSLR camera but wanted something smaller that I can travel with and would be a great everyday camera. This camera is lightweight and easy to travel with. I glad I pulled the trigger and made the purchase

The best full frame on the market for the price. Only adding a second SD slot would make it a perfect camera, I could nitpick, EVF a bit small and no full mechanical shutter but those are things that won’t affect much the user experience

I'm having a ball with this R8 Canno the low light performance on this camera is amazing can't wait for the weather to break so I can go take some wildlife picturesn

Great beginner camera if you are stepping into the mirrorless field Best Buy made the pick up so easy and nice

Great camera just not a fan of the battery and the digital viewfinder.

Works great for video and photo. Silent shutter in photo mode is great, no sound at all. Video allows up to 2 hrs in HD. Used to film a play and work well with no heat issue in HD. Battery life is also good.

Awesome product! It works perfectly and meet my all my speciations

This camera is great. Even though i just got it and bought a beginner 50mm lens for it, the picture quality is amazing. Took it to Joshua Tree national park and got great daytime shots and even very good night sky shots
