Canon EOS R8 -järjestelmäkamera + 24-50 mm objektiivi

I’ve been very happy with this camera. It’s lightweight, easy to carry, and the image quality is excellent. The autofocus is quick and reliable, and the 24-50mm lens is a good all-around option. It also records great-looking videos, so it’s a great choice for both photography and video. Overall, I’m very satisfied with my purchase.

I have had a second hand canon eos 80D for several years and got on really well with it.

The EOS R8 is a class apart. I find it easier to use and the options displayed in the view finder when the settings wheel is changed are extremely useful.

The camera is light and with the adaptor I can continue to use my old lenses.

I bought this as a back-up camera to my R6 Mark II and I'm very happy with it. While it lacks a few of the features of the more expensive camera, it offers incredible value for the price. The images come out almost exactly the same as the R6 II thanks to having the same sensor. It's also very small and lightweight – easy to handle in situations where you have to carry your kit long distances.

Very pleased with the R8 coming from the Canon 5D Markll which took outstanding pictures but was showing its age and I was on the lookout for something which had all the latest technology and Canon does not disappoint in this department like subject tracking,40 fps , full size sensor which is perfect for my wildlife photos and I purchased a RF to EF adapter so I can still use all of my original lenses from my 5D for now

Had it a year and it’s a fabulous camera. I use it for wedding photography and events. The lightweight body enables me to carry it for long hours without any issues

I am an amateur photographer and bought the R8 as a step up from my old 4000D as I have want to develop my sport and wildlife photography so the shutter speed and autofocus were the main selling points to me and they did not disappoint! The autofocus tracking is amazing- I was worried that as I’m still using EF lenses with the adapter there might be a bit of a lag or inaccuracy but that is not the case and I would highly recommend this system to anyone wanting to step up into the R range

I have no regrets. The R8 works well with my 77D, yet there’s a felt difference. I love the features and picture quality. What I love most, is the fact I don’t have to buy a new set of lens.

I bought this camera a few weeks ago and very pleased with the results when used with the RF85mm F2 lens but the RF 24-50mm F4.5-6.3 kit lens is just bog standard which i will be upgrading very soon! Overall an amazing deal when purchased with these two lenses!

I bought the R8 as a travel camera because of its size ond weight my other camera being a 5 mk 3

I must say I am beginning to love the R8 more because of all the features in the software

I also bought the adapter so I could use my L series lenses on it

Overall a great little camera with big features

Moved to the R8 from a Canon EOS 200D, loved the low size and weight of that for travelling and walking, the quality was good but not quite excellent compared to a full frame DSLR. The R8 increases the weight by a few grammes over the 200D, the body is about 10mm wider. The upside is the R8 is it's full frame and has a much more advanced sensor - expose for the highlights then the shadow detail that can be retrieved later is unreal. Image quality sparkles through on every photo.

Hardest thing to get the grey matter around is the focusing system, but having heard the Technical Editor of EOS magazine (highly recommended by the way) talk about it, loved at a few YouTube videos and done some reading around it, that's coming together.

Invested in a few RF lenses to make the transition and they are excellent, plus an adaptor to use all my older full frame EF lenses which work seamlessly on the R8.

Hint - take some time to look at customising the R8's buttons to your way of working. For example there is a video record button which falls naturally under the right hand index finger; when trialling the R8 before purchase using the "try the kit" scheme from Canon setting this button to directly access ISO settings worked really well. So that's already done and a custom menu page set up.

Summary - very happy with the R8, just slightly sad that my beloved full frame Canon DSLR previously used for landscapes is probably going to gather some dust now.
