Goooood Morning!

I have been using the r8 for astrophotography - not having the extra weight of IBIS is actually super handy when it's sitting on an astro tracker. The fact it can shoot clog3 is also awesome. Fun fact - you can use it as a usb web cam by changing a setting too... I think they were kinda interested in vloggers with this (though leaving out IBIS is silly in that case haha)
Hey Pierre, I've been using this camera for the last 6-7 Months and I'm Impressed with the output of the camera. I'm using it for photos and videos both... Mostly Industrial and product photography/videography. The sensor and processor are same as R6 MII so it gives better quality compared to Price to product quality ratio. I use DJI RS3 for stable video shoots so IDC abt IBIS! YES! The only disadvantage is the small battery life... Bought 2 additional batteries for that. If I want to upgrade from R8 I'll wait for a better camera than R6 MII. This is just a review from my side.
@@dulogames Its fantastic. Have shot like 20k pictures with it already with mostly a 70-200mm lens and an 85mm. The camera is great - on hot days it gets close to overheating though. I am happy with it so far
@@Crowd_Surfer5.0 So, kind of funny… believe it or not, I’ve had them all. The M50mkII was my first camera. I used an EF adapter Viltrox speed booster. This was an awesome combination, but I wanted more. So I bought the RP. I do think the RP is better than the M50, but it wasn’t quite the upgrade I expected. I wanted something even better especially for low light. So I upgraded again to the R. The R was an absolutely fantastic camera. It checked all my boxes. I unfortunately ran into some financial trouble and had to sell all my gear. I recently found myself in a better spot, and thought about buying the R again… then I saw the R8 😍. The R8 gives me everything the R did, plus an amazing auto focus system. The only thing I miss is the extra megapixels and bigger battery.
@@antoniomendez2881 if you want 3rd party great lenses for cheaper go for Sony for now. Canon still hasn't opened their mounts to Sigma Tamron etc. If you have L lenses already maybe stick with Canon... but then you'll need RF L at some point...
Canon just announced the 28mm 2.8 pancake. Hopefully it has decent image quality. Will make a killer street combo on the R8. Hopefully we get that 40 mm too!
@@Aiproductions713 I hope the RF 28mm is good. The RF 24mm didn't get good reviews unfortunately. I preordered it, now let's wait for some proper reviews.
the battery life in the r8 is still substantially better than the r5, r5c, and r5mkii. I use an r8 for pro level production, the battery life is not a big deal. If youre just taking photos itll last just as long as anything else out there. The r8 is the best mirrorless camera on the market, especially considering the cost.
This is the camera I want (once the budget is here) to step up from my APSC. Compactness and light weight are key to me. Thanks for the review. Merci Pierre.
Great video. Loved that moment when you asked the gentleman to take his photo. Awesome review. I just swapped my EOSR for an R8 today. Looking forward to 4k without the crop.
BRO this is hands down the best video on the canon r8 im thinking about getting this over the sony a7III. WOW gives me a good perspective on what it's like to own and operate one
Hello, beautiful review of the Canon R8.. Lots of Great DETAIL I have it arriving in the mail shortly.. CAN i Ask you which is the camera you have around your neck recording the whole action..? I like it a lot.. It must be a very expensive camera.. 😅😊
I like that the R10 has a joystick, incredibly low in the range for that, which is awesome. The R8 seems to have great image quality, but entry-level ergonomics, compared to the more pro ones, on the R6 II, but almost identical AF and image quality.
@@ondrasheq21 For weather like in this video you can use the touch screen but when its really cold the joystick can save some shots. Im not taking my gloves off in -30C.
Hi Pierre, What a nice Compact Camera, especially for a Full Frame. It's good how you can tap from one subject to another, very useful feature to have. Wow 461g weight is good especially if you're shooting for hours. For me i don't mind that It only has one Memory card slot. Love those colours they really pop, the one where those people walked past. The Cityscape buildings were nice. I also liked that photo with the leading Lines, leading towards that building. Always love the videos you make in America, Many thanks, Gnarly.
great info. curious if I shoot video in c-log, it records it as h.265 (hevc) format. does canon has any utilities and best practices to convert this to h.264 and target bitrates to set for the same? pls guide if you can.
I will very likely swap from my entry level Canon M50 to the R8. Same batteries btw! Similar weight and size: perfect for travelling and every day photography.
Not quite the same battery, just so you know going in. The M50 takes the lp-e12, and the R8 takes the lp-e17, same as the RP. Hope this helps prepare you before finding out the hard way.
Hi, I am inclining with the Sony A7C for a hybrid travel compact camera instead of the R8. I will be starting from scratch (buying body only). Any feedback?
Definitely a wider choice of lenses on the E mount. Sony, Sigma, a bunch of other third party lenses. I shoot with an A7III and I would definitely get the A7C as a backup and travel body.
Hi Pierre...i want to know which Lens is best for sony a7iv for product and lifestyle photography and videography. Please do let me know... I'm really confused mate😢.
Do you guys think having 2 card slots is a deal-breaker? I was using Canon 1300d for hobby use, but it does lack a lot of features and feels outdated. Also, I want to get into more paid shoots like events, weddings, couple shoots, and stuff. Do you think this body would carry me through?
I learned photography on my phone a handful of years ago.& then this past Thanksgiving, I was gifted the Canon Rebel T6.& used it for a few months before deciding to invest in this camera- the Canon R8. I do all sorts of photography, so I have a 50mm f/1.8, 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6.& a 70-300mm f/4-5.6 lens. I couldn't ask for a better set up as someone who's still a beginner when it comes to legit cameras.& working with manual settings. I feel like the R8 is super intuitive, it was mildly depressing when I had to send it to Canon for repair because the latest firmware update messed with the autofocus, so I went back to my Rebel T6 for about a weeks time.& it just wasn't the same😭
Hi Pierre, coming over from the CC360 Q&A Call! Awsome channel you have here. I'm on my world travel since 2015 aswell!!! Awsome content you have! Let me know if you ever have questions about Vanlife and DaVinci Resolve for iPad :-P cheers Daniel
Hey, Im thinking of getting this one... Still undecided whether to get Sony a7 III or Canon R8. Any advice is good. I use curently Canon 250d (rebel sl3)
Hi, just got a new Canon R8 body, and on setting up I am facing several issues. Please help. I am using the Canon R8 with a Viltrox adaptor and Sigma 17-50 f/2.8 and Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 lens. Below are the issues: 1. While trying to set 'Image Quality', the image size is showing as 3744x2496 instead of 6000x4000 for both Raw and JPEG. 2. Under JPEG, only L and S2 are enabled, with rest of the options like M and S1 disabled for selection and grayed out. 3. Under 'Cropping/aspect ratio' only 1.6 (1.6x crop) is available for selection. Rest of the options (Full, 1:1, 4:3 and 16:9) are disabled for selection and grayed out. This issue is only when the Sigma lens is on. 4. On selecting 'Cropping/aspect ratio' as Full with the Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 lens on, I am getting heavy vignetting both from the EVF and LCD, as well as in the Image. This goes away after I zoom 15mm.
I had a Nikon D750 and several lenses/flash gear. I have a professional level of knowledge but don't get time to shoot much. Part of the reason I don't shoot much is that the Nikon ecosystem isn't enjoyable or intuitive for me. The Canon is. I would've preferred the R6, and couldn't agree more about the satisfaction of the shutter sound. The R8 is so weak compared to the R6. And I think the focusing on the R6 is slightly better, and is likely psychological for me, due to the shutter sound. I didn't need IBIS or a larger battery.. but I did need to be able to travel light and compact. This camera replaced 2 bodies for me; the D750 (FF) and a D5500 (APS-C) and went from 15 lbs of glass to about 5 lbs. By that I mean I was able to consolidate a prime 20, 50, zoom, major telephoto, etc. into a 24-240 and a 600. 1 body, 2 lenses, and a flash are all I need to travel now. I also bought the RF 100/2.8 for portraits and macro photography. I haven't a lot of time with it yet. But so far, every lens has been crisp and more importantly, light and fun to use. I think the "fun to use" factor is overlooked with cameras lately. To me Sony and Nikon are the least enjoyable to shoot but just get a little better micro-detail and sharpness than Canon.. Not enough to be worth the thought required to get the shot. That might be the opposite for some... where people think Nikon or Sony have easy to use manuals.. IDK.. but not for me. The person the R8 is for, is me... someone that has a lot of experience/knowledge in photography but wants something light and compact that focuses fast and well. You didn't go into it, but the C1 and C2 positions on the dial are great to have... Oh, and use the Fv mode, holy crap that is awesome... it's like super-fast manual mode blended with Program mode.. it's the basis for my C1 and C2 settings. Love this camera system.
I want to run around Chicago and photo explore with you! I only live about 45minutes away! My wife and I will be out there May 5th for a Half Alive concert at the House of Blues!
See nobody has mentioned that the R8 with the 24-50 leaves a huge vignette on raw images ! I understand you only see it when you view the raw image and have to either use a paid lightroom or canon DPP app to add in camera lens abbreviations back on the raw image! Anyone in the comments have a workaround ? Using the Canon software for every image is slow and surely most raw editing suited should have this or canon should provide a raw editing suite with the camera at no extra cost
YES! As an insecure person I feel very happy when a person on youtube uses same brand of consumer electronics as myself. It makes me feel validated. Please tell me you are using shoes from Adidas? I just bought some.
@@Pierretlambert I couldn't agree more! Those Nike users are just the worst. It is like they don't even know that Adidas is THE BEST! I can't wait until the next model drops. I will run out and buy it IMMEDIATELY. Maybe even buy a custom shoe box so everybody can see I am not a noob!
I clicked on this because the lens in the thumbnail looked cool, but the link in the description titled “the lens I used” takes me to a Sony 70-200 lens. Does anyone know anything about the 50mm prime he used?
Absolutely beautiful photo work as usual Pierre. Really loving how the R7 and R8 have been performing in the past few weeks and months. Definitely going to get it as another back up for my students in the future. That 50 1.8 looks supercool and now I want to know where thst skin came from... If it is a skin👀👀👀
@@marximus4 I just saw it a few hours ago. I know what you mean. When I first saw that the beginning of the video I thought it was exactly that but I still wanted to get the name. Now I got a couple of ideas of how to modify my own lenses at least cosmetically
For street photography or anywhere you don't need to raise the ISO, I prefer the EOS R over the R8. As for indoor photography without speedlight or for photographing animals, the R8 does better because of the new sensor. I always use 600EX II-RT on my EOS R with ISO 50. That's why I still keep my EOS R. I don't usually use ISO above 100. But when I switch, I'll go for an R5.
I have it 6400 with fckn 18-135 F3.5-5,6 a crappy combination, so that i ended using my 13 years old nikon D5100 which still takes decent photos but aged AF. So WHICH LENS DID U BUY???
great camera indeed, especially for travel lightweight, and extreme low-light, but what a shitty crappy slow kit lens... better get the body-only camera, unless - sometimes this happens - the kit with the crappy lens is cheaper. Also recommending getting a 3rd party battery grip ( Vello, Patona ) so you can have better grip, longer battery life , and a release button for vertical shots. Also recommend getting Rycote micro windjammers on the microphones to block wind noise when shooting video ( unless using external videomic with "deadkitten" windblock but that increases the size a lot. What lens to get ? depends what you shoot. I like RF 100-400 on it, and RF 16/2.8 ( awesome lightweight combo ) ... and 3rd party lenses TTArtisan RF 7.5mm/2.0 circular fisheye , TTArtisan RF 11mm/2.8 fullframe fisheye, Sigma EF 20mm /1.4 with adapter ( or with Viltrox 0.71x EF-R3 speedbooster to get RF 14mm f/1.0 ) , Laowa RF 28/1.2 , RF 35/0.95 , Mitakon RF 50/0.95 ... Those cheap ultrafast prime lenses are awesome for nightscapes, astro, nightsky, milky way, northern lights, even in realtime video on R8. Can't wait to see the Sigma RF 16mm /1.4 ( it is made for crop sensor and will probably force-crop x1.6 but it's easy to hack that ;-)

What is the orange and black 50mm lens shown in the thumbnail called?
From where did you get the skin and lens hood for 50mm lens shown in your thumbnail? Please share the link in comment.
Bought the camera a few weeks ago and really love it. Had an M50 before that and its obviously a huge upgrade.

What is the 50mm with the grip and red hood? Thanks
I like that the R10 has a joystick, incredibly low in the range for that, which is awesome.
The R8 seems to have great image quality, but entry-level ergonomics, compared to the more pro ones, on the R6 II, but almost identical AF and image quality.
Joystick for what? You have a great tracking in servo mode and AF touch control in single shot. Both much quicker than using joystick.
I'm still stuck with using a Canon DSLR. So I'm perfectly fine without a fancy joystick.

On a budget get the used Canon RP - exact same body, little less features but great performance still. Plus RF 28 2.8 STM for street.
10:32 i see wonderful HDRI effect after editing.keeping details even at shadow.did you shoot at RAW format?

Which one did you buy and why?
Can't wait for you to try out the Nikon Z9 for streets!
Hi, just got a new Canon R8 body, and on setting up I am facing several issues. Please help.
I am using the Canon R8 with a Viltrox adaptor and Sigma 17-50 f/2.8 and Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 lens. Below are the issues:
1. While trying to set 'Image Quality', the image size is showing as 3744x2496 instead of 6000x4000 for both Raw and JPEG.

3. Under 'Cropping/aspect ratio' only 1.6 (1.6x crop) is available for selection. Rest of the options (Full, 1:1, 4:3 and 16:9) are disabled for selection and grayed out. This issue is only when the Sigma lens is on.
4. On selecting 'Cropping/aspect ratio' as Full with the Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 lens on, I am getting heavy vignetting both from the EVF and LCD, as well as in the Image. This goes away after I zoom 15mm.
The Sigma 17-50 f/2.8 is an APS-C lens. That explain the max resolution "issue" and the 1.6 crop factor.
I had a Nikon D750 and several lenses/flash gear. I have a professional level of knowledge but don't get time to shoot much. Part of the reason I don't shoot much is that the Nikon ecosystem isn't enjoyable or intuitive for me. The Canon is.

Oh, and use the Fv mode, holy crap that is awesome... it's like super-fast manual mode blended with Program mode.. it's the basis for my C1 and C2 settings.
Love this camera system.
Thanks for the in depth hands on experience. You described me as well so this helps!
The AF touch screen adjustment is been on canon camera since Canon EOS R.
How do you all got your R8's already??? Im from Germany and apparently we are getting it in July :((
What! Didnt know you can move focus using screen while watching EVF .
R8 or R7 to make video ?
Focus point touch screen is the same as the eos RP
I want this camera soooo bad
I want to run around Chicago and photo explore with you! I only live about 45minutes away! My wife and I will be out there May 5th for a Half Alive concert at the House of Blues!
r7 for me, until r6 mk2 price drops or maybe canon release another full frame body.
price isnt dropping when they have the canon r6, mark 1.
R8 looks like a great camera, only it’s £1700 in the uk. So I think it will stay on the shelf in some shops!
See nobody has mentioned that the R8 with the 24-50 leaves a huge vignette on raw images ! I understand you only see it when you view the raw image and have to either use a paid lightroom or canon DPP app to add in camera lens abbreviations back on the raw image! Anyone in the comments have a workaround ? Using the Canon software for every image is slow and surely most raw editing suited should have this or canon should provide a raw editing suite with the camera at no extra cost
YES! As an insecure person I feel very happy when a person on youtube uses same brand of consumer electronics as myself. It makes me feel validated. Please tell me you are using shoes from Adidas? I just bought some.
Haha yes the ultra boost from Addidas! I thinks 2020 model but all have been great to my feet and last looooong compared to Nike!
@@Pierretlambert I couldn't agree more! Those Nike users are just the worst. It is like they don't even know that Adidas is THE BEST!
I can't wait until the next model drops. I will run out and buy it IMMEDIATELY. Maybe even buy a custom shoe box so everybody can see I am not a noob!
@@realthoprivate Sarcasm doesn't translate well on RUclips.
"its poo poo" in 9:45 made me laugh LOL
i sold my sony a7 IV for this camera. And im rly rly happy with the R8
I’m looking at both of these cameras. What made you switch the R8?
No IBIS and Bad Battery killed it for me, sadly. Oh and the mich to expensive Lenses, so im sticking with sony
I clicked on this because the lens in the thumbnail looked cool, but the link in the description titled “the lens I used” takes me to a Sony 70-200 lens.
Does anyone know anything about the 50mm prime he used?
I have this camera and love it.
Absolutely beautiful photo work as usual Pierre.
Really loving how the R7 and R8 have been performing in the past few weeks and months. Definitely going to get it as another back up for my students in the future.
That 50 1.8 looks supercool and now I want to know where thst skin came from... If it is a skin👀👀👀
It’s a « GDU » lens :)
@@Pierretlambert ooo. Thank you thank you looking for that now
It's basically a rehoused RF 50 f/1.8. Very expensive.
@@marximus4 I just saw it a few hours ago. I know what you mean. When I first saw that the beginning of the video I thought it was exactly that but I still wanted to get the name. Now I got a couple of ideas of how to modify my own lenses at least cosmetically
nice cam
Make a video with a re View of the Canon 10r
Review of the canon 10r
"i like to hold the camera with one finger " umm Okay Chief ..
do you like to juggle cameras too ?
For street photography or anywhere you don't need to raise the ISO, I prefer the EOS R over the R8. As for indoor photography without speedlight or for photographing animals, the R8 does better because of the new sensor. I always use 600EX II-RT on my EOS R with ISO 50. That's why I still keep my EOS R. I don't usually use ISO above 100. But when I switch, I'll go for an R5.
Maybe you didn’t realise but the finger tracking on the screen while looking at the viewfinder is also on the R6 .
It has been on EOS cameras since ages. My EOS M50 MK I even has it.
Yea it is! :)
I usually just use the joystick but there isn’t one here
I found the joystick better as I sometimes activate it with my nose, … maybe it is too big 😂
Where did the red lens hood come from? Was it a lens hood or part of the lens?
This camera is a beast! It’s a real upgrade from my cropped sensor a6400 sony camera.
I have it 6400 with fckn 18-135 F3.5-5,6 a crappy combination, so that i ended using my 13 years old nikon D5100 which still takes decent photos but aged AF. So WHICH LENS DID U BUY???
Pierre comes with canon? Or will canon come separately? Asking for a friend!🤣
Haha 😂
2:10 Panasonic cameras have had this feature for literally over a decade now lol. How on Earth is Canon so far behind?
(2018) Canon m50 has the same touch screen focus thing...
great camera indeed, especially for travel lightweight, and extreme low-light, but what a shitty crappy slow kit lens... better get the body-only camera, unless - sometimes this happens - the kit with the crappy lens is cheaper. Also recommending getting a 3rd party battery grip ( Vello, Patona ) so you can have better grip, longer battery life , and a release button for vertical shots. Also recommend getting Rycote micro windjammers on the microphones to block wind noise when shooting video ( unless using external videomic with "deadkitten" windblock but that increases the size a lot. What lens to get ? depends what you shoot. I like RF 100-400 on it, and RF 16/2.8 ( awesome lightweight combo ) ... and 3rd party lenses TTArtisan RF 7.5mm/2.0 circular fisheye , TTArtisan RF 11mm/2.8 fullframe fisheye, Sigma EF 20mm /1.4 with adapter ( or with Viltrox 0.71x EF-R3 speedbooster to get RF 14mm f/1.0 ) , Laowa RF 28/1.2 , RF 35/0.95 , Mitakon RF 50/0.95 ... Those cheap ultrafast prime lenses are awesome for nightscapes, astro, nightsky, milky way, northern lights, even in realtime video on R8. Can't wait to see the Sigma RF 16mm /1.4 ( it is made for crop sensor and will probably force-crop x1.6 but it's easy to hack that ;-)
Very nice 🎉🎉
