Popular full-frame camera Canon EOS R8 with 24.2 million pixels

For photography enthusiasts, full-frame cameras are always attractive. Thanks to the large-size, high-pixel image sensor, the full-frame model has excellent image quality output performance. Moreover, it is positioned in the category of professional photographic equipment, and its performance in performance such as focusing and video is also very strong. After entering the era of mirrorless models, the price of full-frame models has gradually decreased, and you can buy good products for about 10,000 yuan. Today, we will introduce to you the current popular model in the full-frame mirrorless market - Canon EOS R8.

The Canon EOS R8 is a model that has been defined as the ubiquitous use of full-frame mirrorless lenses. It has an imaging capability of 24.2 million pixels, and it can also shoot 6K supersampled 4K video. It is equipped with the second-generation all-pixel dual-core CMOS AF focusing system, which is not only fast and accurate, but also can recognize a variety of subjects.

High-quality performance of a full-frame sensor

The Canon EOS R8 is equipped with a full-frame image sensor with 24.2 million effective pixels, which works in conjunction with the DIGIC X image processor to deliver excellent image quality to photography enthusiasts, both in terms of detail and high-sensitivity imaging.

As we can see from the test comparison chart above, the Canon EOS R8's high-sensitivity imaging performance is still very good. Whether in RAW or JPEG format, starting at ISO 100 and going up to ISO 3200, both the detail and the image purity are excellent. At ISO 6400, despite the increase in image noise, image purity and detail are acceptable. Even at ISO 12800 and ISO 25600 ultra-high sensitivity, the image performance is still remarkable, and it is completely within the acceptable range.

The second-generation all-pixel dual-core CMOS AF brings a new focusing experience

The Canon EOS R8 is equipped with a second-generation dual-pixel CMOS AF focusing system, which has a total of 4,897 manually selectable AF points, covering 100% of the frame. In low-light environments, the EOS R8 can also focus at -6.5EV illumination.

The Canon EOS R8's focusing system can identify a wide range of subject targets

EOS iTR AF X (Intelligent Recognition and Tracking System) based on deep learning technology improves the ability of subject recognition and tracking. When shooting photos and movies, the eyes, face, head, and body can be recognized when detecting people, and the eyes, face, and body can be recognized when detecting animals (dogs, cats, birds, horses), and the focus is appropriate according to the specific situation. It also detects two- and four-wheeled vehicles, trains, airplanes and helicopters used in motorsport.

Supersampled 4K 60p video without cropping

EOS R8 supports up to 6K supersampled full-frame 4K 60p video without cropping, and can also shoot FHD Full HD video at 180p and 150p high frame rates. In addition, the camera also supports 4:2:2 10-bit HDR PQ and 4:2:2 10-bit C-log professional recording specifications, which can provide professional users with good post-production color adjustment and latitude.

The EOS R8 takes measures to effectively suppress the temperature rise in the camera in consideration of the need for long-term video shooting. The maximum shooting time is about 2 hours per shot, 20 minutes at 179.82P/150.00P high frame rate shooting in Full HD, and 30 minutes at 119.88P/100.00P high frame rate shooting in Full HD. In addition, the frame rate and image quality of the display screen can be reduced during the standby period of movie shooting, thereby reducing power consumption and suppressing temperature rises, and in combination with other functions to suppress temperature rises, it significantly reduces the automatic stopping of shooting due to the increase in temperature in the camera.

The EOS R8 features a Movie Digital IS feature that reduces blur caused by camera shake, even when using lenses without stabilization. When an RF lens with image stabilization is installed on the EOS R8, the coordinated control of lens image stabilization + video digital image stabilization can effectively reduce the large camera shake blur caused by mobile shooting. Movie Digital Image Stabilization also corrects the edges of the screen, suppressing distortion around the frame when taking selfies with wide-angle lenses, making movies more stable.

40 fps high-speed continuous shooting to capture the moment

The Canon EOS R8 has a high-speed continuous shooting performance of up to 40 frames per second (electronic shutter) and can maintain autofocus and automatic exposure tracking during continuous shooting. In addition, this full-frame mirrorless camera can also perform continuous shooting in RAW format, record 14-bit RAW files with approximately 24.2 million pixels without cropping, and record approximately 158 photos at a time. In addition, in this RAW burst mode, the EOS R8 can record images of up to 0.5 seconds before the shutter is released, so you can record even more moments.

Lightweight body, excellent handling experience

The Canon EOS R8 weighs only 461 grams including the battery and memory card, and can be used with the RF24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM lens with the same lightweight design.

The Canon EOS R8 has both the familiar dial and button operation for photography enthusiasts, as well as the touch control for beginners. The 3-inch flip screen not only has excellent display effect, but also can complete most of the camera's operations by touch, such as adjusting photographic parameters, selecting the focus area, and playing back photos, all of which can be as simple and efficient as operating a smartphone.

The Canon EOS R8 is equipped with a high-capacity lithium battery, which can meet the needs of high-intensity shooting and video. At the same time, it supports the Type-C port charging feature, which can also allow the EOS R8 to replenish power at any time.

Cost-effective full-frame professional model

At present, on Jingdong Mall, the EOS R8 set equipped with RF24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM lens is priced at 12999 yuan. This price is still very attractive in the full-frame mirrorless market. And although it is positioned as a popular full-frame model, the EOS R8 is very strong in terms of image quality, focus, video, continuous shooting, and other aspects, and even does not lose to its own high-end models, and has a very high cost performance. Whether you're a photography enthusiast upgrading to a full-frame model, or a beginner looking for professional equipment in one step, the Canon EOS R8 is a great choice.
