Canon EOS R8 Mirrorless Camera Body

Canon EOS R8 Mirrorless Camera Body: Step up to full-frame photography and video and realise your creative ambitions.

Make The Leap To Full Frame

Give your creativity a full-frame upgrade. Better bokeh, wider angles of view and image quality that will blow you away – even in low light.

Full-frame video too

The full-frame advantage also extends to video for spectacular cinematic results.

Intelligent autofocus

Stills or video: keep subjects in sharp focus as they move around the frame.

The Full-frame Advantage

Enjoy wider dynamic range, reduced digital noise and crystal-clear detail – that’s the EOS R8’s full-frame advantage

Shoot shallower

Perfect for powerful portraits. With a larger sensor comes shallower depth of field and more dynamic range. Make your subject stand out against a smooth, out-of-focus background with beautiful bokeh. Capture more details in highlights and shadows.

Shoot wider

Transform the way you see the landscape, and get up close for immersive documentary images.

Full Frame Depth Of Field

Compare the EOS R8’s background blur with that of an APS-C camera. Pin-sharp subjects are emphasised better against smooth, out-of-focus backgrounds.

Full Frame Angle Of View

See how a 15mm lens looks on the full-frame EOS R8, compared with an EOS camera with a smaller APS-C sensor. Any given focal length gives a 1.6x wider angle of view.

Find Your Inner Filmmaker

By oversampling 6K sensor data, the EOS R8 produces high-quality 4K video footage at frame rates up to 60p.1 If you’re new to video, you’ll love how simple the camera makes it to get creative with different frame rates and resolutions. You’ll appreciate its advanced features as you become an accomplished filmmaker.

Professional colour grading

Use the EOS R8’s low-contrast Canon Log 3 colour profile for more options while colour grading. This footage preserves detail in bright highlights and dark shadows, thanks to its wide, dynamic range.

The nuances of slow motion

Add feeling and emotion to movement, shooting at up to 180p in Full HD.2 When viewed at normal playback speeds, this shows subjects in sumptuous slow motion – revealing hidden details of their movement.

Professional video functions

False colour indicator

Gauge the perfect exposure. Six coloured overlays show the distribution of luminance in a scene.

Focus peaking

Master critical sharpness when focusing manually. In-focus areas are outlined with a distinctive (and customisable) colour.

Zebras

Striped overlays make it quick and simple to judge the correct exposure
