DXOMark is really surprised to test out the new Canon R8 camera. The overall test of the Canon R8 camera looks similar to a 24 Full-frame BSI CMOS Sensor. Take a look what DXO Mark Said
Although neither ‘back-side-illuminated’ nor ‘stacked’ the 24.2 MP CMOS sensor in the Canon EOS R8 has similar performance characteristics to BSI sensors from rivals. As a result, it makes sense to compare it with the 24.2 MP BSI CMOS in the Nikon Z6 II even if that camera sits at a higher position in the market.
It’s really appreciable that the Canon R8 camera sensor FSI Sensor is performing so well in the lab test, now able to compete against BSI Sensors of the same range. Just imagine when will happen when Canon will bring out its BSI variant of their FSI Sensors. It will surely blow away the existing competition.
DXO Mark about Canon R8
- The EOS R8’s 24.2MP sensor achieves a DXOMARK score of 93 in our tests.
- It was ranked 10th overall and 3rd for Canon sensors.
- It greatly exceeds the 85 points of the EOS RP and is better than the 1D X Mark III.
- It is slightly lower than EOS R5/R3.
- Dynamic range is what I’m most good at. Nearly 15 stops (14.7EV) at base sensitivity (ISO100). It is a peak value similar to the high-end EOS R5 and R3.
- It also has good color depth and a low light score between the R5 and R3 cameras.
