Key Advantages

The EOS R8 excels with its lightweight and compact body design, enhancing portability. It boasts impressive autofocus speed and accuracy with eye and face detection features. The 4K video recording with 10-bit depth caters to professional videographers. Fast continuous shooting supports capturing fast-moving subjects effortlessly. Dual Pixel CMOS AF II ensures smooth and reliable autofocus during video and still shooting. Its user-friendly interface and touchscreen controls simplify operation for users of all levels.

Limitations

The Canon EOS R8 lacks in-body image stabilization (IBIS), which may affect handheld low-light shooting. Battery life is moderate, requiring extra batteries for extended use. The absence of a dedicated headphone jack limits audio monitoring options in video mode. It has limited weather sealing compared to higher-end models, reducing durability under harsh conditions. The single card slot may pose storage risks for professionals needing redundancy. Its rear LCD screen, though vari-angle, could have lower resolution than competitor models.
