The Canon R8 features a 24mp CMOS sensor as we have seen in the Canon R6 Mark II camera, and is paired a up with DIGIC X processor for exceptional image quality and processing speed. The latest generation of Its Dual Pixel CMOS AF II sensor provides fast and accurate autofocus, loaded with NEW AF algorithms straight coming out from Canon R3, and features advanced subject detection mode which allows you to recognize and track various subjects including aircraft, trains, cars, and animals.

The Canon R8 camera can shoot up to 40 frames per second with full-time AF and AE support and support, the same as we have seen in the Canon R6 Mark II. As we all know a few days ago Panasonic announced the Panasonic S5 Mark II camera, the camera is able to shoot 30FPS of continuous bursts, and it was the only camera in the full frame category to touch that speed under $2000 price range. Now, to compete it Canon R8 arrived with 40FPS bursts to dominate the range again. But, at the same time, the Canon R8 doesn’t have the IBIS support that Panasonic S5 Mark II or S5X II has. If ur a cinematographer and work with gimbals then actually you won’t miss the Canon IBIS system, but if ur a vlogger and u do handheld vlogs then for sure Canon R8 isn’t that helpful to give you stabilize footage as of Canon R6 Mark II or Panasonic S5 Mark II camera. Now, for photographers out there, sorry but I have to say you have no other option left ur you guys, if you shoot 70% to 80% of your content handheld, you have to go with a Canon R6 Mark II camera, or if you love to buy Canon R8 then remember the 2X shutter speed rule to combat camera shake and get OIS lenses.
