Canon EOS R8 + RF 16-28mm f/2.8 IS STM

The Canon EOS R8 is a very light full-frame system camera with features from the Canon EOS R3 and Canon EOS R6 Mark II, namely Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, 4K video at 60fps, 40fps when shooting, and 24.2 megapixels.

PhotographyThe Canon EOS R8 is ideal for photography thanks to its 24.2-megapixel full-frame sensor. This camera has a faster readout on the sensor, which means you, as the image maker, will experience less rolling shutter. If you want to capture the action, the EOS R8's 30 fps RAW burst mode will help you get started. You also have a preroll setting, which records half a second (15 frames) before you click the shutter. These photos are shot in both JPG and RAW, so you'll never miss a spontaneous moment again.

In addition to RAW burst mode, the R8 has more cool photo features, namely focus bracketing and multiple exposure. The camera also has different shooting modes that allow you to get started with close-ups, HDR images, and panoramas. This feature is ideal if you're enthusiastic about capturing landscapes, cities, or the small details of the macro world.

VideoIn addition to the photography capabilities of the R8, there are also many great video specifications. With the Canon EOS R8, you can shoot in 4K resolution at up to 60fps, which is oversampled from 6K. This means that the sensor stores even more information, making your recordings even sharper and more detailed. In addition to the 4K capability, you can also record images in Full HD at 180 frames per second. These specifications ensure beautiful slow motion. It is also possible to film vertically, so you can share the images on your favorite social media platform.

In addition, there are a few features that really set this camera apart, such as 3 or 5-second pre-recording, which allows the camera to record for 3 or 5 seconds before you press the button. Just like the preroll function on photos, this ensures that you never miss a moment. One feature that has been carried over from cinema cameras is the False Color function. This feature helps you determine the exposure. This is because the color is translated by a certain brightness in the image. Ideal for lighting a green screen. When recording with the R8, you no longer have to keep an eye on the time, as this camera has no recording limit.

Image stabilization & autofocus

The Canon EOS R8 features Dual Pixel CMOS AF II. With this system, you no longer have to worry about whether your subject is in focus. This allows you to concentrate on other important things while filming. You can use tracking in the various autofocus modes. The autofocus has been expanded with various options. In addition to eye, face, head, and body detection, you can now also track animals and vehicles. Tracking has a cool feature called custom preset. This allows you to create and save your own box, so you can always choose your own focus points.

This camera works with electronic stabilization. In combination with the optical image stabilization of any lenses, this camera delivers sharp results.

Body featuresThe camera is equipped with the familiar flip touchscreen, which allows you to see exactly what you are recording. You also have the option of following your subject through the viewfinder. This displays 120 images per second and is equipped with OVF assist, which stands for Optical Viewfinder Assist. This feature ensures that even users of an SLR camera can get used to this viewfinder.

The camera has the familiar Canon buttons, with icons that make it easy to see which button is for what. A very nice button is the photo and video mode switch. This allows you to easily distinguish between the settings for photos and videos and switch between them. The ports on this camera are also versatile, including a microphone connection, a headphone connection, a USB-C connection, and a micro HDMI port.

Share, save & remote control

Finished shooting or need more freedom? Then you can use the WiFi and Bluetooth on the camera. These features make it easy to connect and control your camera remotely, view your files, or share them with your client or loved ones.
