Step Up to Full-Frame
The EOS R8 camera combines high-performance full-frame capabilities with a lightweight and compact design for creators ready to step up their content creation. With a 24.2 megapixel full-frame CMOS image sensor, RF mount allowing access to various creative lenses, and powerful stills and video functionality, the EOS R8 camera helps you capture stunning imagery to empower your creative vision.

Features

The Lightest Full-Frame Canon EOS Camera
Weighing less than a pound (body only), the EOS R8 camera is incredibly lightweight and compact while offering a high-quality full-frame imaging experience, utilizing the RF lens mount and providing access to a catalog of high-performance creative lens options. This offers photographers and content creators a convenient and portable camera in a comfortable, ergonomic package for travel, hiking or everyday shooting.

High Image Quality Featuring a 24.2 Megapixel Full-Frame CMOS Sensor
The EOS R8 camera captures stunning, detailed images with speed and accuracy, even in low light, due to the Canon-developed 24.2-million-pixel CMOS image sensor and DIGIC X Image Processor. The full-frame sensor allows for improved resolution at low ISO speeds and low noise at high ISO speeds, wide dynamic range of still pictures, and significant improvement in rolling shutter compared to previous Canon cameras when shooting fast-moving subjects and quick panning.

In-Camera Compositing
With its built-in image processing, the EOS R8 camera provides in-camera compositing including Moving Subject HDR, Depth Compositing, Panoramic Shot, HDR Night Scene, and HDR Backlight control so you can capture creative imagery that is challenging with conventional single-shot techniques.

High-Speed, High-Precision Autofocus
Dual Pixel CMOS AF II is a highly responsive system that covers up to approximately 100% x 100% of the picture area, breaking the image into up to 1,053 automatically-selected AF zones during Whole Area AF. This enables outstanding AF coverage on the EOS R8 camera, and the compositional freedom to focus sharply on a subject nearly anywhere in the frame.

Accurate Subject Detection and Tracking
Developed using Deep Learning Technology, horses, trains, and airplanes are detectable, in addition to conventional subjects like people, animals including dogs, cats and birds, and vehicles - cars and motorcycles - especially in a motorsports environment. For more ease of use, Auto mode is now available, in which the camera automatically selects the type of subject without the need to switch the Subject Detection setting in the menu. The EOS R8 camera will continue to track the movement and continuously focus on the subject.

Head, Face, and Eye Detection
The EOS R8 camera can locate and focus upon a person's head, face, or eye when the Subject Detection menu is set to People. This allows for more ease of use, fast acquisition of your subject, and improvements to accuracy when capturing videos or still images, even in difficult shooting situations where many cameras may struggle to detect a subject. Additional control is now available for detecting the subject's left or right eye - which can be also programmed to a Custom Button making it easy to focus on the preferred eye in the moment.

Animal Detection
Effectively track the whole body, face, or eye of cats, dogs, birds, and now horses, for speed and precision - regardless of the animal's size, posture, or orientation of the face.

Ample Features for Video Creators
With video recording features such as 6K oversampled uncropped 4K movie at up to 60 fps, Full-HD High-frame rate movie recording at up to 180 fps, and Dual Pixel CMOS AF tracking, the EOS R8 camera makes it easy to step up your video content.

Continuous Movie Recording That Exceeds 30 Minutes
The EOS R8 camera can continuously record 4K UHD or Full HD video for up to 2 hours at 29.97 fps, allowing you to set up your video and keep your project rolling without worrying about it stopping.

HDR PQ / Canon Log 3
Though the EOS R8 camera can record impressive video straight out of camera, content creators looking to take the next step in their imaging journey have the choice of two powerful video recording options in HDR PQ or Canon Log 3 video recording. With HDR PQ recording a 10bit color file is recorded that does not require additional editing, this 10bit HDR file is compatible with HDR displays such as TVs, monitors and smartphones which display your video with even more color accuracy and dynamic range than standard displays. For creators who like to edit their video files, Canon Log 3 is available, creating a 10bit log file which allows for powerful recovery of highlights and shadows as well as creative color grading capability.

Vertical Movie Mode and Aspect Markers
Movie rotation information can be set during or after movie recording, allowing videos to be played in vertical composition when viewing on a smartphone. The Aspect Markers Function displays visual markers for different aspect ratios that may be desired for posting the same file to various social media sites. This display provides consideration for proper composition for the different deliverable files that can be created when editing.

RF24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM wide-angle to standard zoom lens is a great entry point for full frame EOS R cameras. Great for still photography and videography, the RF24-50mm can provide intensity in your still images at 24mm, and excel with everyday shooting at 50mm. Rely on that wide field of view for vlogging, while still being able to zoom in when the need arises. The lightweight and compact nature of this lens pairs perfectly with the newer compact full-frame R-Series cameras. The RF24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM also comes with built-in Optical Image Stabilization to further enhance your low-light shooting abilities by providing up to 4.5 stops of shake correction, and up to 7.0 stops with coordinated IS. The RF24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM also supports Movie Digital IS when connected to a camera with this feature. You will enjoy the versatility of this lens for all of your upcoming creative projects!

The RF24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM makes for a lightweight and comfortable, all-day lens whether you are vlogging or shooting stills. It's ideal for capturing a variety of subjects without having to constantly change lenses.

Excellent image quality
Taking advantage of the Canon RF lens mount, the RF24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM lens offers great optical quality, edge-to-edge. Its optical design includes two aspheric elements, and Canon Super Spectra Coating (SSC) to minimize ghosting and flare.

Optical image stabilization - up to 4.5 stops of shake correction
For consistently sharp results, the RF24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM features built-in optical Image Stabilization, providing enhanced shake reduction for up to 4.5 stops of shake correction. When paired with an EOS R-series camera that has In Body Image Stabilization (IBIS), the Coordinated IS allows for up to 7 stops of correction. This means more reliable handheld performance and clearer detail in low-light situations, without having to increase the ISO or decrease the shutter speed. Because of its enhanced stabilization, the RF24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM can also help minimize the need for a tripod.
