The EOS R8 combines high performance full frame capabilities into a 461g lightweight and compact body. Experience 24.2 megapixels high quality imaging, fast shooting speeds of up to 40 frames per second and full width 4K 60p videos.

    The EOS R8 allows you to shoot RAW bursts of up to 30 frames per second with 0.5 second pre-shooting, helping you capture the decisive moment in sharp focus even before you've pressed the button. Capture scenes from 3 or 5 seconds before recording in video.
