Customer Ratings & Reviews

Super glad we upgraded to mirrorless! The photo quality is awesome and the size of this is a little more compact.

I may rookie to say the least, but this camera has been really easy to get used to and learn. I am mostly using it for a Contant creation for YouTube videos and Instagram reels and I’m really impressed with the camera quality without me changing any of the settings. I know it has more to offer, but I just don’t know how to use all of its features. Even with the basic settings, I’m incredibly happy with this camera

I’m thrilled with my new R8. I upgraded from the M50… big jump there. I wanted full frame and was considering the RP but for not that much more to get so much more camera. Images are great and feels great in my hands. I’m using older Canon FD lenses and also EF-L Series lenses, both with adapters. Both are widely available uses for great prices on eBay and work great with an adapter. 5 stars for sure

Canon R8 is a great option for those looking to step into full-frame without breaking the bank. It’s lightweight, compact, and delivers impressive image quality, especially in 4K video with no crop. The autofocus is fast and reliable, and the colors are classic Canon — natural and pleasant. The downsides are a single SD card slot and no in-body stabilization, but overall it’s a very well-balanced camera for both photo and video.

I recently visited Best Buy with the intention of buying a new camera, and I'm so glad I did! I went in with a specific model in mind, but thanks to the incredible help and patience of one of their salespeople, I walked out with a Canon EOS R8, a significantly better camera that is absolutely perfect for my needs. The salesperson took the time to understand exactly what I wanted to use the camera for, and with their expert guidance, they explained the features of the EOS R8 in a way that was easy to understand. They were so patient and answered all of my questions without making me feel rushed. Their knowledge and enthusiasm made the entire experience a pleasure. As for the Canon EOS R8 itself, it's an exceptional camera. The quality of my photos and videos has improved dramatically. It’s exactly what I needed and more, and I couldn't be happier with the results. This was truly a great experience, and it's all thanks to the outstanding customer service at Best Buy. I will definitely be returning for all my future electronics needs. Highly recommend!

This is my first real mirrorless camera. I really like how slight and compact this camera and lens are! Since I have had many Canon DSLR's, I like and understand the layout of all of the controls. This camera will be used mostly as a travel camera. I have not had a chance to download images yet, but am confident its images will be superior to my iPhone ProMax 13 images. I need large file sizes for print competition and this camera will do this for me!

Cheap , lightweight , easy to use . The best 4k 10 bit camera you can buy at this price . I can’t wait for more cinema lens to arrive.

Great camera! The R8 is literally the R6MII for a grand less, a few cons would be that it can over heat depending on what youre dking (its a Canon, theyre known for that) the battery is a bit small, and some people may miss the lack of IBIS, I use this for video work and honestly i prefer just fixing it in post (IBIS has warping on the edges). For the price its a great entry to Canons full frame lineup!

Easy to use. I recently purchased the Canon R08 for my photography hobby and it has surpassed all my expectations. The image quality is phenomenal, and the autofocus is incredibly fast and accurate. The camera's build feels solid. It's easy to navigate the settings. I've taken stunning photos in various lighting conditions without any issues.

Stepped up from my T7i and am IN LOVE with this camera! I also purchased an EF to RF lens adapter and the quality is still incredible. Images are crisp and clear. Camera is smaller, lightweight, and user friendly. I was hesitant about switching to mirrorless but I’d say that this model is an incredible and seamless entry level switch that also allows me to have better quality photos than my previous Canon model.

Love this camera, new to photography and it’s a great career opportunity for me to have this as part of my journey

Absolutely impressed with the Canon EOS R8! The image quality is fantastic, capturing sharp, vibrant photos and smooth 4K video with excellent color reproduction. The included RF24-50mm lens is versatile for everyday photography, from landscapes to portraits. The camera body is lightweight and comfortable to handle, making it ideal for long shoots or travel. Autofocus is fast and reliable, even in challenging lighting, and the intuitive menu system makes it easy to adjust settings on the fly. For anyone looking to step up their photography or videography game, the EOS R8 delivers professional-level performance in a compact, user-friendly package. Highly recommended for both enthusiasts and creators.

The Canon EOS R8 punches well above its weight. It’s not just a “starter” full-frame—it’s a serious tool for creators who want pro-level image quality and video features without the bulk or price tag. If you can live without IBIS and dual card slots, this camera is a gem.

This camera is the best out there. Simple to use and understand. Pictures are phenomenal. Absolutely my favorite by far. Take it everywhere i go.

Nice camera that is easy to use. Good quality images.

I’ve had this camera for a couple months now and its really impressed me i use it for sports photography and wildlife

This camera is sleek and easy to use and takes amazing photos.

It's exactly what I was looking for, very happy with the purchase.

This camera is amazing. I'm no pro, but I've been watching these mirrorless cameras for years now, waiting for all the features to be made available, This one has everything I wanted: Full frame, uncropped 4k, lightweight, takes great pics. You won't regret this buy.

This is an excellent camera in a small package. As a previous Canon owner the upgrade did not slow me down at all. The camera is small and lightweight which is a real positive for action and nature shots. However purchase a second battery if you are shooting a lot of shots.
