Canon R8 Sensor Leaves DXOMark Speechless with Impressive Test Scores

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.

TNCTake: I feel more associated with dpreview since I am reading it from my college days, and that’s really hard to believe it will end up like this. Yes atleast we can do something from our side. The second option is, they can work independently as a team, and at the same time they can open up many financial channels to fund dpreview by enabling online advertising solutions and affiliate programs workwide.

Breaking News: Youngnuo Announced 85mm F1.8 Auto-focus Lens for RF Mount

Youngnuo officially announced an 85mm lens for Canon RF Mount. The lens features STM AF motor and the lens also does AF very well. Now we all very well know Canon RF Mount is locked and Canon recently ditched Viltrox 85mm F1.8 AF Lens by sending some goof msgs to the Lens makers.

So, now we can have two types of situations here

Situation  #1: Canon and viltrox are now in collaboration with each other, youngnuo paid the license fee.  And now more youngnuo lenses for RF Mount are on they way.

Situation  #2 : Youngnuo doesn’t care about Canon’s policy.

Youngnuo Smart Move can be followed by the Viltrox, provided nothing happens to it

In both of the situations we have discussed the second one is true, Youngnuo doesn’t care about Canon rules and regulations for RF Mount. At the same time to save themselves legally they are not using a single Canon word in their Lens announcement or packaging

compatible with other than Sony E / Leica L / Nikon Z”. It seems that sales in China have started at 2,599 yuan ($380).

As you can see clearly youngnuo is avoiding Canon’s name, and yes if they are not using it Canon has nothing much to do legally. But, yes they can block Lenses AF/AE operations via firmware updates in the future.

 

Main Specifications

  • Format: full size
  • Mount: Other than Sony/Leica/Nikon
  • Focal length: 85mm
  • Aperture value: F1.8-F16
  • Aperture blades: 7
  • Lens construction: 9 elements in 8 groups
  • Shortest shooting distance: 0.8m
  • Maximum magnification: Unknown
  • Filter diameter: 58mm
  • Size: φ67×88mm
  • Weight: 380g
  • AF: STM

ALERT LENS AVAILABLE AT B&H STORE: Check youngnuo 85mm F1.8 lens for RF Mount at B&H Store and Amazon.com
