@@eW0LF well, you can but they are meh, not exactly very cheap also, especially when you consider the quality you get for the price. I just wished Canon did not block 3rd party glass, new Sigmas and Samyangs on Canon would be awesome.
What's MIND BLOWING is the pro 1DX mark 3 has a 20.1MP sensor (same as the R6 mark 1) and that camera still sells for $6,500!! That one also has no IBIS, and a slower autofocusing system. Now you can buy a better camera than that (basically what Peter McKinnon started his whole career with [1dx mk2]) for an absolute fraction of the cost with so much more!! I love that the R8 is light and easy carry, and I won't be too scared to take it out on every day occasions. Buying one to replace my R6 mark 1 as I just shoot for fun.
I think it’s worth mentioning that if you want the dual card slots, ibis, better battery and joystick, but at the same price point, you have have the r7 as a fantastic option
The counter is the crop sensor versus full frame. They do have different places in the market (I only use crop bodies, just for the record), so it's not a 1-to-1 exchange..
It's not an option if you want better image quality. The R7 image quality is supposed to be good, but I'll trust that when I see it for myself. I've been hoodwinked by some of these reviews recently
@@Bad_Wolf_Media of course it’s not a 1 to 1 trade off… at $1500 you’ve gotta give up something. The point is, you can still get a very good camera with those more pro body features and not spend $1000 to go up to an r6ii
@@simonmaduxx6777 the fact of the matter is, any modern interchangeable lens camera is gonna deliver fantastic image quality, going to a crop sensor isn’t just gonna make your images turn to shit. But if what you truly value is the best image quality at $1500, you gotta give up things like ibis, battery, dual card slots and an autofocusing joystick. PERSONALLY, I would gladly give up the stop of image quality (low light performance and dynamic range) to have a more fully functioning body.
As a Canon user for a decade who switched to Sony 2 years ago, I have to say I've never lost faith in Canon cameras. I was priced out of their lenses. I can't justify the premium of Canons lenses or GM for that matter when the Sigma art line exists.
I mean even the gm lenses are cheaper than canons counterparts. But I completely agree with you. Canon is shooting their own foot with this strategy. They at least need to focus on mid range to budget glass. The other issue I see is they only have to compete with themselves so they won’t have to make better glass for cheaper like Sony does with sigma/tamron. Third party glass just help breed better lenses for a better price. Which I feel like canons mid range/budget options will be trash so people buy their red ring..
We're at a point to where all of the major cameras out right now are great in most situations (low light, DR, etc...) that it's less about image quality and more about features and price. The main limitation in shooting is always the shooter
I’m a Sony shooter, but I recently bought an m6 mk 2 as my EDC camera. I love that little thing. It’s a ton of fun to shoot with. I understand why Canon is effectively killing the EF-M line, but I wish they would have released a few more lenses for it, particularly some higher end telephoto lenses.
If you have one that manages to work correctly, it's a nice little body. 32 megapixels, decent sensor. Do yourself a favor and get one of the sigma primes. Super sharp pictures at 1.4, it is an absolute godsend for crop RFS users could only dream of a 1.4 sigma.
@@chacmool2581 Every Day Carry The Eos-M cameras are great because they have the APS-C sensor in a tiny form factor. With the 22mm f/2.0 lens it’s no bigger than a point and shoot. The m6 mk2 is a fantastic camera that only needs more lenses to go with the great 32mm f/1.4 and Sigma trio. The camera series that they need to kill is the RF-S. It makes absolutely no sense. Which is typical for Canon decision making.
I’ll be really interested in your R7 vs R8 comparison as I’m looking to upgrade from a SL3 but still want to use my mix of EF and EF-S lenses and upgrade them over time. It would be great to know which direction to go in.
The R8 is more similar to the R10. It's basically the full frame version of the R10. Same FPS, same megapixels etc. But it's full frame instead of APS-C. The R7 is more like an APS-C version of the R6. Whether you should go with R7 or R8, you should ask yourself what you consider most important to you: IBIS, full mechanical shutter and extra reach (R7) or better low light performance, more shallow depth of field, higher image quality and dynamic range (R8). Also keep in mind the lack of crop lenses available for the R7 (for now, you'd have to use exclusively full frame lenses, which don't function as well on crop sensor cameras).
@@cmet8280 Whatever I said still applies. If he wants to use his full frame lenses, it's better to do so on a full frame body. He can keep the SL3 (250D) to use with his EF-S lenses.
@@leonardlevine1254 I am not sure what you mean. My RF 100-500 is lighter than EF lenses from Canon or third parties, lens IS synchronizes well with the R7 IBIS, the dual focus motors are exquisitely responsive, and image quality is breathtaking. I am thrilled by the combination for birds and wildlife.
@@wellingtoncrescent2480 Yeah of course it will work perfectly fine. I use all of my RF glass on my R10 as well without issues. But the image quality is not as perfect on the APS-Cs as it is on full frames. This shows up time and time again in testing (check Christopher Frosts test with the RF 100-500). You are not using the full capabilities of that lens on the R7, and you are carrying extra weight and glass that you aren't making use of it.
I agree, R8 is probably a bigger deal for Canon than R6 ii, which I just bought. This is an excellent camera to start with FF. A $1000 put in a better lens will give much better quality photos than a better body would do, especially when the sensor and AF are the same.
Yup, lens is way important than the body.. ibis is also a plus for both lens and body.. the digital IS on the r8 crops the image, so there goes that full frame idea, also when paning left to right quickly you get that wobbly warp on the side when shooting video.
Honestly, I'm looking to buy a camera that does everything well, i thought the R50 would be a solid upgrade over an iPhone, but looking at that sample vlog you showed, i think my money would be better invested on a R8 when i can afford it
Thanks Jared for the video. After seeing the difference between full auto and manual on the R50, I think a video of Dan/Stephen giving video quick tips would be interesting. I have a R7 mainly for stills and I wouldn’t mind upgrading the quality footage of my videos🙃.
Love your videos! Thanks for reviewing the R8. Is the sensor exposed when a lens is off or does it have a retractable barrier to protect the shutter when swapping lenses?
Canon are unlikely to do it. They already have some pro sports shooters using the Mark 1 R6 instead of the R3 or 1dx3. They want pros/enthusiasts to buy the R6,R5,R3 or (when it comes) R1. Those cameras [will] have vertical grip option or built-in, but they are not cheap. When Canon becomes serious about competition it will perhaps be too late. Maybe then they will release some much desired equipment, for example the RF70-200 f2.8 (or even other L telephotos) with a black rather than steal-me white option. They already brought back eye control focus from the EOS 3, much improved too. The lens line up is going to take some time though imo. It is missing the lighter (than f1.2) ~f1.4 primes and f4 zooms that most non-full timers might be interested in, and their cheaper stuff e.g. 8f f2 lacks the quality and build of the better lenses in the L or GM range. In fact, there's not a single RF lens that I want (over EF equivalent) in my pack yet because my ideal line up is 20 f2.8L, 35 f1.4L and 85 f1.4 L, and all must weight less than 800g and be less than 4 inches long (or might as well use EF). If I moved to Sony I could buy the lenses I want. The only thing that is putting me off is Sony bodies don't feel as nice in my hand, and the menu system has a font that makes it harder to read and get used to.
£1700 R8 is terrible value. Ignoring all discounts, cashbacks and offers, and going by current RRP prices from the biggest dealerships in the UK (Jessops, WEX and ParkCameras) lets see how good it is at this price point. The EOS-R is £1450 (many ways superior to the R8) £1700 is exactly the same as the A7C's price The R6 is £1900, only £200 more. The Panasonic S5ii is £2000 And the Z5 and Z6ii come in at £1350 and £2100 respectively.. The R8 is a mid-priced full frame camera with basic entry level features and form factor. Rip off.
@@uncensoredthoughtify Explain then why I'm not serious. How does this £1700 camera with terrible battery life, 1 card slot, ancient viewfinder, no ibis, mediocre screen and mid level 24mp sensor hold up to those priced around it? AF isn't the only thing a camera is about btw (Jared only shoots fast moving objects so for him it's usually no1 priority...unlike other photographers)
@@sergeyzakharov7326 if you insist 4k60 uncropped is a must, you need to look at Z9 in Nikon land, or Sony a7siii at a minimum. How is the cheapest full frame having it not insane? The list goes on. If you shoot night wildlife, AF capability of R8 is unmatched under 2k5. Don't dream about IBIS going to help you in fast shutter speed and animals move all the time. How is that not insane? Even you just have a young kid at an uncooperative age, R8 is going to give you more confidence than any camera from Nikon or Panasonic to snap sharp photos with kids action.
Canon are getting it so right lately. The only issue Canon ever really had was lagging Sony on their mirrorless range. Canon was always top-dog with lens availability and overall usability (an underrated item). Currently I'm OK with my 6D and M50 but the amazing eye-detect focus may make me upgrade, for portrait work. It means you can just chat to the subject, taking photos, without even looking at your camera.
I like how your pages of notes are entirely highlighten (and not just some words or phrases) :D Other than that, my only rant is that they didn't add the joystick to the R8 (though the upper low-end APS-C R10 has it), but it's understandable, as the level of convenience that that device brings can change the perception of the camera.
I have the R5 and R6, this R8 is an EXCELLENT choice for anyone that cant or doesn't want to spend the money on the others. The image quality is excellent.
I live in the Charleston area and love shooting at Magnolia Plantation. I have an annual membership and go often. The old rice field is a great place to get shots of wading birds, eagles, and gators. I had to laugh at the deer and pig. They used to have a food dispenser that you could get a small amount of food to give to the critters. They had to stop because they were being overfed. Unfortunately, they also have learned to associate people with food handouts and can still get pretty aggressive looking for food. My daughter had a deer try and eat part of her camera bag. At least it wasn't one of the gators.
Hi, first time seeing your work, I was researching the Canon R50 and found you. TERRIFIC content, very helpful, concise and well presented, thank you for making this!
The R6 (not mk2) is pretty much the same price as this R8 now in the UK. In my opinion the R6 is also a better and more professional camera. I am looking on buying. Any reason you'd buy the R8 over the R6? The R8 is newer but doesn't seem as good after watching this video and looking at specs. Cheers :)
I think R8 is a better choice only if you do a lot of video. R6 is a beast of a camera. Been using since the release and was really happy with it. I did switch to the mk2 just cause I do a lot of video. But for photography it is almost the same. R8 and R6mk2 have a slightly better af
@@TomislavMoze Cheers Tomislav. I don't do any video, photography only. The af on r6 is plenty good enough too. This is why I'm leaning more to the R6 at this time.
So should I go for the R8 or buy the Canon R from my friend for $500 or just get the R5 as my original plan once my tax return comes in March. I shoot portraits outdoor/indoor , Events parties , weddings. And a lot of action events. Sport games car racing etc
Agreed. There's nothing the R50, R10 or R7 offer to prompt me to switch, when price, weight, features and lenses (especially 3rd party M mount support!) are considered.
I don't think I ever had as much fun with a camera as I did with my M6 II, used primarily for birds and wildlife along with the Sigma 150-600C and Tamron 100-400 Di VC. But I recently upgraded to the R7 with the R 100-500. While I hesitated over the price, there is no comparison. The R7 subject tracking is excellent, especially the bird eye autofocus. And the Canon RF lens outperforms the third party lenses in weight, AF responsiveness, image stabilization, and image quality. If you can manage the price, it's worth it.
Jared, please do a sports photography test för the R8 comparing it with the R7 and R6. I'm stuck deciding between the R7 or R6, and this could be a perfect match between these two. The things I am mostly worried about is the mechanical shutter on the R8, the warping with the electronic shutter for sports is just unacceptable for my taste. The other thing is the lack of IBIS on the R8, how big is the difference without it in real world usage compared to the R7 and R6's IBIS. Thanks in advance!
I think you already answered your own questions! To make sure you don't have that warping, you'll need a mechanical shutter. The R6 mkii is likely the solution for you.
@@codynpatterson Of course the R6 is the best solution, but it's also a $1000 more. The question is still, is it $1000 better, or can I compromise the disadvantage of the cheaper bodys. Without real life testing and comparing there is no way to be sure.
I see the R50 as the "cheap" vlogger camera and the R8 as the "RP Mk2" and somewhat the higher end, more capable vlogger camera. The fact that IBIS is missing means you dont get the IBIS wobble at all, and digital stabilizer + RF lens stabe on the RF 35 or 24 does its job great
Hmmm, after watching some other reviews I couldn’t find a reason for adding the R8 to my gear bag, but now after watching your review and highlighting some other things they didn’t or perhaps didn’t explain in detail I’m think I might have a need to add this to my bag of tricks! 😊 Thanks!
@Jared Polin Great review! Thank you! One thought to add…. You mentioned several times, what Canon needed to leave out to reduce cost. There is another factor SIZE! I shoot with the R5. My wife shoots with the RP. Not because of cost, but physical size for her smaller hands. Something to keep in mind for the differently handed. :-) We will definitely be upgrading her to the R8 as soon as we can get it! Thanks again for the review - especially the physical comparisons to the RP!
GREAT Video! Thanks! I shoot with the Canon R5. I still have my 5D Mark IV as my backup, so I still need to hang on to all my EF lenses. After watching your R8 review, I am thinking maybe I should get the R8 as my backup camera instead of buying another R5 as a backup. What do you think? I am only nervous about having only one memory slot. But if the R8 is my backup camera in the event, the R5 fails it's probably worth the risk. And the R8 takes up so little space!! What do you think?
I have a bunch of M mount lenses for my M50 for travel and hiking. Why would Canon abandon this line and force us to move to their RF line? The M series were very much capable. I have taken some of my best landscape pictures because of its portability and size. I would hate to carry a heavier camera on a 3 day backpacking trip.
I would love to make the switch but wont even consider it until they open up to 3rd party lenses. My Sony A7IV is fantastic and the lens options are more than i would ever need as an enthusiast. True professionals, Canon all the way, you cant deny how they are killing it these days.
So basically compared to the Z5, if you need the best AF the R8 smokes it. However, the Z5 still has IBIS so it’s probably better for more static shots?
This is a great review of two cameras. All of the reviews I've seen of the R8 are basically hating on it. 😂 Jared actually took into consideration that there's newcomers into this market which is why I'm getting one. Not all of us are pros and these types of videos are great for us!
Canon R50/R10 + R8 + R5 or not, with good quality RF lenses, and you've a professional setup. Unlike Sony and Nikon who majorly ignores APS-C line-up, who doesn't have entry level affordable full frame unless you go a generation old which feels decade older in current camera tech, with the Z5 or A7C, R8 is a beast. I would switch to R8 as soon as it drops to the market and invest in RF lenses. With R50/R10, I'm getting Sigma 18-35 f/1.8 and 50-100 f/1.8 until they make those two lenses for RF mount.
Hmmm, When Nikon released it's extended battery grip for the Z6/7, you made a huge deal about being worthless because it did not have any shutter release buttons. On the new Canon, their grip is just a place to put your pinky finger and you are ok with that?
thanks so much Jared. I just discovered this camera today. I still have an old Sony rx100 ii which is lovely for its size but would be nice to step up. I can afford the new r50 when it's available. I enjoy traveling to parks (national and otherwise) and would like to have a good camera for video of my jazz group where a good mic can also be used.
I currently have the EOS RP and was thinking of getting the R8. I am in no way a professional I am an average joe taking photos at disneyland and so on. Would it be an upgrade in your opinion? And Would you upgraded from the RP? TIA
I started my business out of the RP and I was wondering when the RP mark II will come out . Well now I have my answer the R8 is the RP mark II and sincerely I would give word by word the same piece of advice to the community. If you are starting your path into the pro world and you are in budget invest on the R8, good glass and good speed light. As for me today I reached a level that I need (outside of the studio) the duel SD slot? And the SD slot being on the side, and the bigger batteries.
There are so many options of Canon R cameras. I think the only remaining issue is no 3rd party lenses. Sony and Nikon need to put out something new soon.
I don't think that's much of an issue anymore, considering the rapidly-expanding set of Rf lenses at both low and high price ranges. Third party lenses are going to fall behind in performance as more and more capabilities will be derived from the electronics of the total system.
quick question ... I am just getting back into photography and I think the R8 is a perfect start, however ... I've always loved sigma lenses. Have you done a review on the Sigma FP or FP L?
It’s okay Jared, I’m a Z FC shooter and I want Nikon to catch up with its autofocus. Hopefully Nikon can update their current Z cameras to be closer to the Z9
I'm a landscape photographer who is still using an EOS-R. I didn't go to the R6 because I didn't want to lose 10mp, especially when i often have to crop.. I was intrigued when the R6MkII came out, and it's still on my radar. I love the R, and the only things that are making me even consider a new body is HDR and IBIS. When shooting HDR with the R, you have a long "Busy" message while the camera is processing the images, during which you can't do anything. I've used an R6, and the HDR processing in it is almost instantaneous. Mark one up for the R6/R6Mkii. I would like to have IBIS, which the R6/R6Mkii have, and the R8 does not. Not a deal breaker on getting the R8, but it's a thing. So, do I plunk down $1500 for an R8, or $2500 for the R6Mkii? The deal breaker for the R8 is the battery. I spend a lot of time in the field, so I may change batteries many times during a day long shoot, and to make that possible, I have 5 batteries for the R, that will also work on the R6/R6 ii. I don't want a lower capacity battery, and I don't want to have to buy 4 or 5 new batteries. Sorry, but the R8 is out for me, and it's a shame...
I’ve recently started my photographic journey proper this year with my investment into a Nikon Z5 + 24-70 f/4 S. It was £1350 for the pair in the Jan sales. Coming from a D200, I’m over the moon. It’s good to see Canon hitting with the lower end high performing stills cameras since their is a large majority of us who do not care for video.
@@komanguy and more like 2 cards slot( i don't care about this one) , 1/8000 shutter, joystick....Z5 is more like a backup camera for a Pro wedding , R8 is for everday do it all....photo and video. But anyway....in US , R8 comes at 1.500$....for some reason in Europe is at 1.700€....so i belive Z5 is a better value.
This is the conclusion I’ve come to as well - the Z5 is an absolute killer camera for the price. I’m so happy with mine. I’ve paired it with a Z-GR1 Grip which transforms the feel whilst adding Arca-Swiss support. My next purchase is the 70-200 Z. The Nikon lens line-up is absolutely stunning now - especially with the inclusion of the new SR element in the telephotos. It isn’t the fastest camera - but then again the Professionals were getting fantastic shots of fast moving subjects back in the 80s with the go-to Nikon F4 which was only half a frame slower in its standard form.
Even with 2 extra batteries and getting a DJI RS3 for lack of ibis, you're still saving over $500 over the R6 ii. That's some money towards some good glass. I think it's great 👍
You are going to need it for good glass.. If it's not an expensive RF L, it's low class lenses (35 is ok) only. And that glass better have image stabilization.
@@TomislavMoze Yes but if you don't have those EF glass already like I do, then you've got quite the choice to make. If I didn't have a core stable of EF glass, I don't know what I would have done.
Good job Canon. I'm looking forward to this weeks RAW talk for sure. I do hope Nikon puts out some new bodies soon with better AF, us Nikon users deserve for Nikon to catch up.
Catch up? 🤣 Nikon doesn’t cripple its entry level cameras with dumb specs like electronic shutter only, an absolute deal breaker for portrait shooters.
this was a solid pReview of the cameras... the edit, content and details comparison at this level of time with the cameras was fantastic.. I am out the only video that I am going to watch today about R50 and R8
I'm a hobbyist. I'm planning to upgrade from 77d to R7 but with the intro of R8 I'm so confused. More features of R7 like IBIS, dual card slot vs R8 full frame. My current lens are Tamron 70-200 f2.8 G2 and Tamron 35mm f1.4.
The R8 looks like a fantastic camera. Just fantastic. Price over performance is through the roof. I'm definitely getting one to test out at least. We'll see if I'll keep it or not, but it seems great
I was waiting for this R50 as a replacement for my M50 so I could share lenses with my R6. I don't know what I was expecting but I'm pretty disappointed with what we got. Might just pick up an RP instead.
I just sold my RP I needed a bit more this would’ve been perfect though lol these are dope. That R50 mode is probably for someone who wants to learn manual but not really sure where to start.
Wow, this was unexpected. I’ve be shooting on the Canon M6 mark ii for a while now and I’ve wanted to upgrade to full frame but couldn’t afford a R5 or R6 and the R and RP are actually worse cameras than the M6ii. The R8 is the camera I’ve been waiting for, this looks awesome
Your presentation skills are with no compare......BandH is missing the opportunity to have you join their in house seminars as is Nikon....you are indeed AMBASSADOR material.
What would you recommend for someone looking to upgrade from a 7D MK1 (and have a lot of glass to suit already). While I am only serious amateur, doing portraits & landscapes & I like to get creative. I also use the camera for doing photo shoots & build stories on customers cars (modified/race etc). And do shoot car shows & motorsports. Also keep in mind, I am in Australia, so prices are vastly different.
Dear Jared, I see you mention the extension grip for the R8. Is that the same extension grip as for the RP ? Canon EG-E1 Extension Grip ? If so, could you please verify if the Neewer or Vello battery grip for RP is compatible for the R8 ? That would be awesome, as it seems for now Canon does not offer a battery grip ( 4 years later they still don't for the RP ). Thanks for your time.
I won’t go back to Canon after both brand new R6 mk1 bodies died on their first days use of Error 70. Also, the footage I did get from the R6 with a 24-105 L f4 IS lens was nowhere near as good as the Sony A7C. And the Sony was set to 1920x1080 25Mb 50fps (pretty much it’s lowest quality setting). I sent both Canons back and bought three A7C with kit lenses plus a Sony 24-105 f4 G OSS lens forcthe primary body on a Crane 2 gimbal. Wedding videos.
Just ordered this camera to upgrade from the RP. Love the video, but I wouldn’t told that guy to remove that whole laptop he had in his back pocket 😂 working on doing photos with people soon and moving away from landscape for a bit so hopefully the R8 will work well for me.
Jared, I have been buying Sony Gmaster lenses, only have 2 currently, should I stick with working towards the A1 version 2 or should I flip over to nikon with the Z9? Seems like the only thing you like on the Sony better is the autofocus. I really wanted the A1, but the color is better on Nikon.
@@AdamRelayson also, my dad was a Nikon guy. And I always shot with his nikons. When it was time tor my to do video for youtube, I went with the sony, as it was the best option for that. I just feel like I want to honor my dads memory, and our time shooting, and buy all nikon gear…
@@Monuments_to_Good_Intentions I would probably wait for something other then the Z9 unless you always use a vertical grip. The camera is truly made more for sports and wildlife because of the heavy body and construction. Hopefully the Z8 and z6iii and z7iii release soon with similar af to z9 if you choose to go the Nikon route. Truly thought it’s up to you whatever you feel you will enjoy using the most I would get.
Canon made a point during our initial presentation for these cameras to note that the 24mp sensor in the R8 will actually resolve more detail than the older 30mp in the R. Not sure how true that claim or if it’s just marketing BS is but that’s what they noted
Gotta be honest, Canon is killing it, the R8 is such a good priced camera for the technology it offers. 👏👏
Canon bodies do seem really great to me (Sony shooter) but the big worry that keeps me uninterested is the lens situation.

As a Canon user for a decade who switched to Sony 2 years ago, I have to say I've never lost faith in Canon cameras. I was priced out of their lenses. I can't justify the premium of Canons lenses or GM for that matter when the Sigma art line exists.
I mean even the gm lenses are cheaper than canons counterparts. But I completely agree with you. Canon is shooting their own foot with this strategy. They at least need to focus on mid range to budget glass. The other issue I see is they only have to compete with themselves so they won’t have to make better glass for cheaper like Sony does with sigma/tamron. Third party glass just help breed better lenses for a better price. Which I feel like canons mid range/budget options will be trash so people buy their red ring..

We're at a point to where all of the major cameras out right now are great in most situations (low light, DR, etc...) that it's less about image quality and more about features and price. The main limitation in shooting is always the shooter
I’m a Sony shooter, but I recently bought an m6 mk 2 as my EDC camera. I love that little thing. It’s a ton of fun to shoot with. I understand why Canon is effectively killing the EF-M line, but I wish they would have released a few more lenses for it, particularly some higher end telephoto lenses.
If you have one that manages to work correctly, it's a nice little body. 32 megapixels, decent sensor. Do yourself a favor and get one of the sigma primes. Super sharp pictures at 1.4, it is an absolute godsend for crop
RFS users could only dream of a 1.4 sigma.
EDC?

The Eos-M cameras are great because they have the APS-C sensor in a tiny form factor.
With the 22mm f/2.0 lens it’s no bigger than a point and shoot.
The m6 mk2 is a fantastic camera that only needs more lenses to go with the great 32mm f/1.4 and Sigma trio.
The camera series that they need to kill is the RF-S. It makes absolutely no sense. Which is typical for Canon decision making.
I plan on getting an m6 mk2 as well. I also really the size. Feels perfect for travel and hikes.
I’ll be really interested in your R7 vs R8 comparison as I’m looking to upgrade from a SL3 but still want to use my mix of EF and EF-S lenses and upgrade them over time. It would be great to know which direction to go in.
The R8 is more similar to the R10. It's basically the full frame version of the R10. Same FPS, same megapixels etc. But it's full frame instead of APS-C. The R7 is more like an APS-C version of the R6. Whether you should go with R7 or R8, you should ask yourself what you consider most important to you: IBIS, full mechanical shutter and extra reach (R7) or better low light performance, more shallow depth of field, higher image quality and dynamic range (R8). Also keep in mind the lack of crop lenses available for the R7 (for now, you'd have to use exclusively full frame lenses, which don't function as well on crop sensor cameras).
@@leonardlevine1254 reread his post, he wants to continue to use his ef and efs lenses.
@@cmet8280 Whatever I said still applies. If he wants to use his full frame lenses, it's better to do so on a full frame body. He can keep the SL3 (250D) to use with his EF-S lenses.
@@leonardlevine1254 I am not sure what you mean. My RF 100-500 is lighter than EF lenses from Canon or third parties, lens IS synchronizes well with the R7 IBIS, the dual focus motors are exquisitely responsive, and image quality is breathtaking. I am thrilled by the combination for birds and wildlife.
@@wellingtoncrescent2480 Yeah of course it will work perfectly fine. I use all of my RF glass on my R10 as well without issues. But the image quality is not as perfect on the APS-Cs as it is on full frames. This shows up time and time again in testing (check Christopher Frosts test with the RF 100-500). You are not using the full capabilities of that lens on the R7, and you are carrying extra weight and glass that you aren't making use of it.
I agree, R8 is probably a bigger deal for Canon than R6 ii, which I just bought. This is an excellent camera to start with FF. A $1000 put in a better lens will give much better quality photos than a better body would do, especially when the sensor and AF are the same.
Yup, lens is way important than the body.. ibis is also a plus for both lens and body.. the digital IS on the r8 crops the image, so there goes that full frame idea, also when paning left to right quickly you get that wobbly warp on the side when shooting video.
Honestly, I'm looking to buy a camera that does everything well, i thought the R50 would be a solid upgrade over an iPhone, but looking at that sample vlog you showed, i think my money would be better invested on a R8 when i can afford it
It has likely more to do with the lens than the camera/sensor. The 18-45 kit lens is quite bad.
Thanks Jared for the video. After seeing the difference between full auto and manual on the R50, I think a video of Dan/Stephen giving video quick tips would be interesting.
I have a R7 mainly for stills and I wouldn’t mind upgrading the quality footage of my videos🙃.
duded the R7 is a 34 megapixel and the R8 is a 24 megapixel
Some people just insist on buying the newest "thing"
Love your videos! Thanks for reviewing the R8. Is the sensor exposed when a lens is off or does it have a retractable barrier to protect the shutter when swapping lenses?
A first party battery grip with pogo pins, and vertical shutter, would be a great addition to this camera. Especially if it worked on both cameras.
Canon are unlikely to do it. They already have some pro sports shooters using the Mark 1 R6 instead of the R3 or 1dx3. They want pros/enthusiasts to buy the R6,R5,R3 or (when it comes) R1. Those cameras [will] have vertical grip option or built-in, but they are not cheap.
When Canon becomes serious about competition it will perhaps be too late. Maybe then they will release some much desired equipment, for example the RF70-200 f2.8 (or even other L telephotos) with a black rather than steal-me white option. They already brought back eye control focus from the EOS 3, much improved too.
The lens line up is going to take some time though imo. It is missing the lighter (than f1.2) ~f1.4 primes and f4 zooms that most non-full timers might be interested in, and their cheaper stuff e.g. 8f f2 lacks the quality and build of the better lenses in the L or GM range. In fact, there's not a single RF lens that I want (over EF equivalent) in my pack yet because my ideal line up is 20 f2.8L, 35 f1.4L and 85 f1.4 L, and all must weight less than 800g and be less than 4 inches long (or might as well use EF). If I moved to Sony I could buy the lenses I want. The only thing that is putting me off is Sony bodies don't feel as nice in my hand, and the menu system has a font that makes it harder to read and get used to.
The R8 is just too good, it's simply way to good for this price point.
£1700 R8 is terrible value.
Ignoring all discounts, cashbacks and offers, and going by current RRP prices from the biggest dealerships in the UK (Jessops, WEX and ParkCameras) lets see how good it is at this price point.
The EOS-R is £1450 (many ways superior to the R8)
£1700 is exactly the same as the A7C's price
The R6 is £1900, only £200 more.
The Panasonic S5ii is £2000
And the Z5 and Z6ii come in at £1350 and £2100 respectively..
The R8 is a mid-priced full frame camera with basic entry level features and form factor. Rip off.
$USD 1500 is not a good price point, $1250 would have been
@@andyp5693 you're not serious

How is a $1,500 camera without IBIS insane?

Sony needs to drop an a7c II now.
Didn’t even see this coming 👀🔥🔥🔥
Great video, I like r8 but this little battery 🔋 I can’t understand.
Canon are getting it so right lately. The only issue Canon ever really had was lagging Sony on their mirrorless range.
Canon was always top-dog with lens availability and overall usability (an underrated item).
Currently I'm OK with my 6D and M50 but the amazing eye-detect focus may make me upgrade, for portrait work. It means you can just chat to the subject, taking photos, without even looking at your camera.
Nice job boys on getting all this info out so fast! I'm very happy to see the lower price point as it should send a shock wave to the others!
price isn't low enough
I like how your pages of notes are entirely highlighten (and not just some words or phrases) :D
Other than that, my only rant is that they didn't add the joystick to the R8 (though the upper low-end APS-C R10 has it), but it's understandable, as the level of convenience that that device brings can change the perception of the camera.
thanks to both for the production value of this trip
What's that small monitor on top of the camera? It looks nifty and make shooting a lot easier to visualize. Thanks in advance! 😊
As a student looking to make the jump to full-frame from my Canon 1300d of nearly 6 years, this seems like a god-send.
I have an RP, financially sound like the R8 is the one for me. Great job with the specs
great video. one question should i upgrade from canon eos r to r8?
I have the R5 and R6, this R8 is an EXCELLENT choice for anyone that cant or doesn't want to spend the money on the others. The image quality is excellent.
I live in the Charleston area and love shooting at Magnolia Plantation. I have an annual membership and go often. The old rice field is a great place to get shots of wading birds, eagles, and gators. I had to laugh at the deer and pig. They used to have a food dispenser that you could get a small amount of food to give to the critters. They had to stop because they were being overfed. Unfortunately, they also have learned to associate people with food handouts and can still get pretty aggressive looking for food. My daughter had a deer try and eat part of her camera bag. At least it wasn't one of the gators.
the prohibition of 3rd party lenses from the RF mount is a deal breaker especially since the kit lens is too tight for vlogging
Hi, first time seeing your work, I was researching the Canon R50 and found you. TERRIFIC content, very helpful, concise and well presented, thank you for making this!
The R6 (not mk2) is pretty much the same price as this R8 now in the UK. In my opinion the R6 is also a better and more professional camera. I am looking on buying. Any reason you'd buy the R8 over the R6? The R8 is newer but doesn't seem as good after watching this video and looking at specs.
Cheers :)
$800 difference (orig R6 is $2300 currently), not quite the same price for someone looking in this price range
@@stepheneckert4006 not in the UK mate. Only £100-£200 difference from brand new. Even cheaper buying second hand or grey market.
@@wmp2669 ah yeah I’m referring to USD. How much in the UK?
I think R8 is a better choice only if you do a lot of video. R6 is a beast of a camera. Been using since the release and was really happy with it. I did switch to the mk2 just cause I do a lot of video. But for photography it is almost the same. R8 and R6mk2 have a slightly better af
@@TomislavMoze Cheers Tomislav. I don't do any video, photography only. The af on r6 is plenty good enough too. This is why I'm leaning more to the R6 at this time.
So should I go for the R8 or buy the Canon R from my friend for $500 or just get the R5 as my original plan once my tax return comes in March.
I shoot portraits outdoor/indoor , Events parties , weddings. And a lot of action events. Sport games car racing etc
I love my m6 mark ii. Can’t see enough from either of these to move into the RF quite yet but the R8 & R7 do seem awesome. Some day. Some day. 🤷♂️
I love my m6.
Agreed. There's nothing the R50, R10 or R7 offer to prompt me to switch, when price, weight, features and lenses (especially 3rd party M mount support!) are considered.
Sigma 56. Rest my case.
i’m in the same boat😁
I don't think I ever had as much fun with a camera as I did with my M6 II, used primarily for birds and wildlife along with the Sigma 150-600C and Tamron 100-400 Di VC. But I recently upgraded to the R7 with the R 100-500. While I hesitated over the price, there is no comparison. The R7 subject tracking is excellent, especially the bird eye autofocus. And the Canon RF lens outperforms the third party lenses in weight, AF responsiveness, image stabilization, and image quality. If you can manage the price, it's worth it.
I wonder if the touch to focus thing will trickle up to the R6 II with a firmware update. I'd hope so.
I’d imagine so. I think we will see some other new features shortly for the R6 ii if I was to bet
Not sure you need it since the stick does the same thing.
I hope so too! 👍
Does this new camera have exposure bracketing? Ive only had Nikons and they've all had it. Great review Jared! Thankyou
It does
Jared, please do a sports photography test för the R8 comparing it with the R7 and R6. I'm stuck deciding between the R7 or R6, and this could be a perfect match between these two.
The things I am mostly worried about is the mechanical shutter on the R8, the warping with the electronic shutter for sports is just unacceptable for my taste.
The other thing is the lack of IBIS on the R8, how big is the difference without it in real world usage compared to the R7 and R6's IBIS.
Thanks in advance!
I think you already answered your own questions! To make sure you don't have that warping, you'll need a mechanical shutter. The R6 mkii is likely the solution for you.
@@codynpatterson Of course the R6 is the best solution, but it's also a $1000 more. The question is still, is it $1000 better, or can I compromise the disadvantage of the cheaper bodys. Without real life testing and comparing there is no way to be sure.
What type of sport are you doing? The electronic shutter in the R5 mk2 is actually solid.
I see the R50 as the "cheap" vlogger camera and the R8 as the "RP Mk2" and somewhat the higher end, more capable vlogger camera.
The fact that IBIS is missing means you dont get the IBIS wobble at all, and digital stabilizer + RF lens stabe on the RF 35 or 24 does its job great
Jared why not just buy some yellow paper.
That will save you highlighting it all!
Hmmm, after watching some other reviews I couldn’t find a reason for adding the R8 to my gear bag, but now after watching your review and highlighting some other things they didn’t or perhaps didn’t explain in detail I’m think I might have a need to add this to my bag of tricks! 😊 Thanks!
@Jared Polin Great review! Thank you! One thought to add…. You mentioned several times, what Canon needed to leave out to reduce cost. There is another factor SIZE! I shoot with the R5. My wife shoots with the RP. Not because of cost, but physical size for her smaller hands. Something to keep in mind for the differently handed. :-) We will definitely be upgrading her to the R8 as soon as we can get it!
Thanks again for the review - especially the physical comparisons to the RP!
What is about battery life issue ???
GREAT Video! Thanks! I shoot with the Canon R5. I still have my 5D Mark IV as my backup, so I still need to hang on to all my EF lenses. After watching your R8 review, I am thinking maybe I should get the R8 as my backup camera instead of buying another R5 as a backup. What do you think? I am only nervous about having only one memory slot. But if the R8 is my backup camera in the event, the R5 fails it's probably worth the risk. And the R8 takes up so little space!! What do you think?
I have a bunch of M mount lenses for my M50 for travel and hiking. Why would Canon abandon this line and force us to move to their RF line? The M series were very much capable. I have taken some of my best landscape pictures because of its portability and size. I would hate to carry a heavier camera on a 3 day backpacking trip.
Same, got the m6 mark ii. Perfect for travel and backpacking
16:30 pics are awesome, essentially key shots for wedding days! Jared starting wedding photo business + catered fried chicken menu?
Copy the EXIFs of any R6 II RAW File to a R8 RAW File and you are good to go and can open the Files in Lr.
I would love to make the switch but wont even consider it until they open up to 3rd party lenses. My Sony A7IV is fantastic and the lens options are more than i would ever need as an enthusiast. True professionals, Canon all the way, you cant deny how they are killing it these days.
So basically compared to the Z5, if you need the best AF the R8 smokes it. However, the Z5 still has IBIS so it’s probably better for more static shots?
I feel like the quirky settings in the R50 is geared towards cellphone photographers that want something more dedicated but simple to them
Can't wait to see the comparison between the R7 & R8. I've been using 7D Mk II to shoot skateboarding since 2015
This is a great review of two cameras. All of the reviews I've seen of the R8 are basically hating on it. 😂 Jared actually took into consideration that there's newcomers into this market which is why I'm getting one. Not all of us are pros and these types of videos are great for us!
Canon R50/R10 + R8 + R5 or not, with good quality RF lenses, and you've a professional setup. Unlike Sony and Nikon who majorly ignores APS-C line-up, who doesn't have entry level affordable full frame unless you go a generation old which feels decade older in current camera tech, with the Z5 or A7C, R8 is a beast.
I would switch to R8 as soon as it drops to the market and invest in RF lenses. With R50/R10, I'm getting Sigma 18-35 f/1.8 and 50-100 f/1.8 until they make those two lenses for RF mount.
do you prefer a v90 to use with the R8 or will a v60 work?
Hmmm, When Nikon released it's extended battery grip for the Z6/7, you made a huge deal about being worthless because it did not have any shutter release buttons. On the new Canon, their grip is just a place to put your pinky finger and you are ok with that?
The Canon grip in $80...
Is it worth getting the Control Ring Adapter with the R8?
thanks so much Jared. I just discovered this camera today. I still have an old Sony rx100 ii which is lovely for its size but would be nice to step up. I can afford the new r50 when it's available. I enjoy traveling to parks (national and otherwise) and would like to have a good camera for video of my jazz group where a good mic can also be used.
I currently have the EOS RP and was thinking of getting the R8. I am in no way a professional I am an average joe taking photos at disneyland and so on. Would it be an upgrade in your opinion? And Would you upgraded from the RP? TIA
I started my business out of the RP and I was wondering when the RP mark II will come out . Well now I have my answer the R8 is the RP mark II and sincerely I would give word by word the same piece of advice to the community. If you are starting your path into the pro world and you are in budget invest on the R8, good glass and good speed light. As for me today I reached a level that I need (outside of the studio) the duel SD slot? And the SD slot being on the side, and the bigger batteries.
interested in reviewing this camera as well
Hey Fro, maybe I missed it but how long does it take to clear the buffer shooting in raw?
There are so many options of Canon R cameras. I think the only remaining issue is no 3rd party lenses. Sony and Nikon need to put out something new soon.
I don't think that's much of an issue anymore, considering the rapidly-expanding set of Rf lenses at both low and high price ranges. Third party lenses are going to fall behind in performance as more and more capabilities will be derived from the electronics of the total system.
quick question ... I am just getting back into photography and I think the R8 is a perfect start, however ... I've always loved sigma lenses. Have you done a review on the Sigma FP or FP L?
Thanks! How are the colors on this camera for video? Are they the same as the Canon R5 out of camera?
It’s okay Jared, I’m a Z FC shooter and I want Nikon to catch up with its autofocus.
Hopefully Nikon can update their current Z cameras to be closer to the Z9
I'm a landscape photographer who is still using an EOS-R. I didn't go to the R6 because I didn't want to lose 10mp, especially when i often have to crop.. I was intrigued when the R6MkII came out, and it's still on my radar. I love the R, and the only things that are making me even consider a new body is HDR and IBIS. When shooting HDR with the R, you have a long "Busy" message while the camera is processing the images, during which you can't do anything. I've used an R6, and the HDR processing in it is almost instantaneous. Mark one up for the R6/R6Mkii. I would like to have IBIS, which the R6/R6Mkii have, and the R8 does not. Not a deal breaker on getting the R8, but it's a thing.
So, do I plunk down $1500 for an R8, or $2500 for the R6Mkii? The deal breaker for the R8 is the battery. I spend a lot of time in the field, so I may change batteries many times during a day long shoot, and to make that possible, I have 5 batteries for the R, that will also work on the R6/R6 ii. I don't want a lower capacity battery, and I don't want to have to buy 4 or 5 new batteries. Sorry, but the R8 is out for me, and it's a shame...
Do you guys shoot C-Log or C-Log3 on the R5 for these videos?
We do not.
Damn! If I had known this full-frame R8 was coming, no I would not have bought the R10.
I’ve recently started my photographic journey proper this year with my investment into a Nikon Z5 + 24-70 f/4 S. It was £1350 for the pair in the Jan sales. Coming from a D200, I’m over the moon. It’s good to see Canon hitting with the lower end high performing stills cameras since their is a large majority of us who do not care for video.
The Z5 has IBIS by the way.
I did the same thing and I love my Z5
@@komanguy and more like 2 cards slot( i don't care about this one) , 1/8000 shutter, joystick....Z5 is more like a backup camera for a Pro wedding , R8 is for everday do it all....photo and video. But anyway....in US , R8 comes at 1.500$....for some reason in Europe is at 1.700€....so i belive Z5 is a better value.
This is the conclusion I’ve come to as well - the Z5 is an absolute killer camera for the price. I’m so happy with mine. I’ve paired it with a Z-GR1 Grip which transforms the feel whilst adding Arca-Swiss support. My next purchase is the 70-200 Z. The Nikon lens line-up is absolutely stunning now - especially with the inclusion of the new SR element in the telephotos. It isn’t the fastest camera - but then again the Professionals were getting fantastic shots of fast moving subjects back in the 80s with the go-to Nikon F4 which was only half a frame slower in its standard form.
What the tripod that he has?
Even with 2 extra batteries and getting a DJI RS3 for lack of ibis, you're still saving over $500 over the R6 ii. That's some money towards some good glass. I think it's great 👍
You are going to need it for good glass.. If it's not an expensive RF L, it's low class lenses (35 is ok) only. And that glass better have image stabilization.
@@simonmaduxx6777 or you can use the adapter with EF glass that has some incredible choice

The R8 looks like a fantastic camera. Just fantastic. Price over performance is through the roof. I'm definitely getting one to test out at least. We'll see if I'll keep it or not, but it seems great
It's a piece of crap, for the price you can buy an used R6, R, or the Nikon Z6II with lens.

Jared what is your opinion on RP vs R50?? Which one for let’s say tennis shots
I was waiting for this R50 as a replacement for my M50 so I could share lenses with my R6. I don't know what I was expecting but I'm pretty disappointed with what we got. Might just pick up an RP instead.
I'm curious to know what you found disappointing about the R50. It sounds superior to the M50 in just about every way.
I love my R50 but am seriously considering picking up an R8 to add to the lineup as a backup (or maybe even front liner) to my wife's R7.
I just sold my RP I needed a bit more this would’ve been perfect though lol these are dope. That R50 mode is probably for someone who wants to learn manual but not really sure where to start.
Would you consider this an upgrade for someone who has the original EOS R and does primarily photography??
I have m6 mark ii because of your review before 3years ago...
But now want to buy this eos r version😅😅😅
Is it worth it to change??
No IBIS is never gonna be your issue if you just use a gimbal.
Would the R8 be a replacement for the M50 aswell?
Wow, this was unexpected. I’ve be shooting on the Canon M6 mark ii for a while now and I’ve wanted to upgrade to full frame but couldn’t afford a R5 or R6 and the R and RP are actually worse cameras than the M6ii. The R8 is the camera I’ve been waiting for, this looks awesome
Hi, R7 or R8? For travel videos and some photos. What's your rec.
Your presentation skills are with no compare......BandH is missing the opportunity to have you join their in house seminars as is Nikon....you are indeed AMBASSADOR material.
What would you recommend for someone looking to upgrade from a 7D MK1 (and have a lot of glass to suit already). While I am only serious amateur, doing portraits & landscapes & I like to get creative. I also use the camera for doing photo shoots & build stories on customers cars (modified/race etc). And do shoot car shows & motorsports. Also keep in mind, I am in Australia, so prices are vastly different.
Damnit Canon!! I still want a Canon even with the lack of third party lenses! 😳
Dear Jared, I see you mention the extension grip for the R8. Is that the same extension grip as for the RP ? Canon EG-E1 Extension Grip ? If so, could you please verify if the Neewer or Vello battery grip for RP is compatible for the R8 ? That would be awesome, as it seems for now Canon does not offer a battery grip ( 4 years later they still don't for the RP ). Thanks for your time.
R6 or r8? Which is better and offers more walue
I won’t go back to Canon after both brand new R6 mk1 bodies died on their first days use of Error 70. Also, the footage I did get from the R6 with a 24-105 L f4 IS lens was nowhere near as good as the Sony A7C. And the Sony was set to 1920x1080 25Mb 50fps (pretty much it’s lowest quality setting). I sent both Canons back and bought three A7C with kit lenses plus a Sony 24-105 f4 G OSS lens forcthe primary body on a Crane 2 gimbal. Wedding videos.
Looking to get my first camera for conematic B roll Sony zve10 or the R50? Any input is helpful!
Just ordered this camera to upgrade from the RP. Love the video, but I wouldn’t told that guy to remove that whole laptop he had in his back pocket 😂 working on doing photos with people soon and moving away from landscape for a bit so hopefully the R8 will work well for me.
Jared, I have been buying Sony Gmaster lenses, only have 2 currently, should I stick with working towards the A1 version 2 or should I flip over to nikon with the Z9? Seems like the only thing you like on the Sony better is the autofocus. I really wanted the A1, but the color is better on Nikon.
If you have to ask “should I buy this super expensive camera?” then generally the answer is “no”. Unless you just have money to burn.

@@AdamRelayson also, my dad was a Nikon guy. And I always shot with his nikons. When it was time tor my to do video for youtube, I went with the sony, as it was the best option for that. I just feel like I want to honor my dads memory, and our time shooting, and buy all nikon gear…
@@Monuments_to_Good_Intentions I would probably wait for something other then the Z9 unless you always use a vertical grip. The camera is truly made more for sports and wildlife because of the heavy body and construction. Hopefully the Z8 and z6iii and z7iii release soon with similar af to z9 if you choose to go the Nikon route. Truly thought it’s up to you whatever you feel you will enjoy using the most I would get.
I bought the EOS R when it came out. I love the 30 mp sensor. I don't know why. but smaller sensors annoy the hell out of me.
Canon made a point during our initial presentation for these cameras to note that the 24mp sensor in the R8 will actually resolve more detail than the older 30mp in the R. Not sure how true that claim or if it’s just marketing BS is but that’s what they noted
for vlogging, one might use Canon RF 15-30mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM Lens which you forgot about
