    The photos were not sharp and clear as we had expected from this camera. When we returned the camera, I was shocked to learn the fee for returning the camera, was $125.00. I was left with no product that cost me $125.00. Think long and hard about your next purchase at Best Buy.

    I will never buy a product from Best Buy again. Still no refund from my item being sold before I could pick it up. ( wasn’t even aware they can do that) my business will never do business again since they never credited me my refund.

    The camera overheats too quickly. Not even outdoors you can be inside in AC and only get about 25 minutes of recording before it auto-shuts off. I would recommend just saving up and getting yourself something good.

    We wanted to return this but they told us we had to pay $255 for a restocking fee that we had no idea about. The manager was very mean. Never going to this Best Buy again.

    This camera is the best Full frame at is price, it is compact and has all the capabilities the R6 has at a much lower price tag that can't be beat. Of course you do miss out on some features but overall a great buy for beginners as well as photography enthusiast.

    I’m new to photography… I’m amazed at the level of detail I can get from this camera… I’m still new, there are probably better choices but I’m happy, content and fulfilled with this purchase

    The R8 is the perfect middle of the road camera. Its short of some of the bells and whistles the very expensive Canon"s but it everything I need.
