This is a REAL WORLD REVIEW of the Canon EOS R8...6 Months Later. I've extensively used this camera all over the world to bring you this detailed review. I've shot everything from fast action to the Eiffel Tower. It would be fair to say, this $1,500 camera gives the $6,500 Canon R3 a run for it's money...in some ways. Don't read in to that too much, but the R8 is a super powerful, well rounded offering. How does it do against Canon's EOS R6 Mark II? I go into that as well.

![I Replaced ALL my ADOBE APPS with these [free or cheaper] Alternatives!](/img/n.gif)
I’m an interior photographer and bought an R8 2 months ago. I have to say it’s a great camera with all the features I need, packed into a light body, which is perfect to travel back-and-forth to work with every day.
Great to hear!
I am from China, in our case this camera is very cheap and the camera is not bad, I use it often, I am only 12 years old
what lens do you use?
Is it better than the R50?
@@JorgeGonzalez-nk6bv without a doubt
Thank you so much Jared, i finally got my Canon R8, paired with RF 35mm 1.8, RF 50mm1.8, RF 24-105mm F4 L lens, and adapted EF 55-205mm. Its a complete arsenal of Portable Masterpiece!
I moved from the EOS-R to the R8, and overall, the R8 is a great camera. I shoot landscapes and macros (wildflowers, etc) and the features missing from the R8 vs the R6MkII were just not important enough to justify an extra $1,000. The R8 images in low light have low to non-existent noise, even at high ISO's. The AF, especially when shooting macro is far and away better than the R. With the R, I could not rely on AF to be accurate when shooting macro, and had to shoot with MF. With the R8, the focus is much more accurate, and i rarely have to manually focus on macro shots.
There is one GLARING PROBLEM with the R8: It has a propensity to overheat in moderate temperatures, when shooting photos (not video). This has occurred to me several times while shooting outdoors. I was shooting single shot photos, sometimes a few minutes apart, in 70-80 degree low humidity weather, and have had the camera warn of "overheating" and then shut down. These temperatures are FAR below the operating limit of the camera. When it first happened, I sent the camera to Canon and they said it operated normally, which I dispute. It has since occurred several more times, and I have spoken to Canon support about it, but they are lost. I don't believe it is a wide spread issue, but a quick Google search will show that I am not the only one with this issue. Canon needs to address the overheating problem.
I had a sightseeing trip to southern Utah come up right when the R8 was released and couldn't wait to put my new camera through its paces. I was and still am thrilled with its performance, but I immediately ran into the same overheating problem on that sightseeing trip. I've found I can't carry this camera mounted on my Cotton Carrier without turning it off and either covering it with my hand or with the waterproof covering attached to the Cotton Carrier and expect to still be able to use it again. Any direct exposure to the heat of the sun to the back of the camera will overheat it within only a couple of minutes.
Edit: stupid autocorrect grammatical error
Strange, I have the r8 in Singapore with constant high temp+humidity, shooting in jungle, shooting in the sun, haven't had a single issue. Maybe a manufacturing issue on some model?
Such a underrated camera! I love my R8 paired with the RF 100-500. A very light wildlife setup. Having the aches and and pains that come with aging, having a really light weight setup helps.
Thank you again for confirming my decision to buy the R8 (largely because of your first review). I'm really happy with it.
I only came to a limit when taking pictures of flying owls at 40 fps, even with the Sandisk Extreme, I had to wait for the buffer to be ready again. And I ordered a UHS-II V90 Sandisk Extreme Pro today. The price really came down over the past few weeks.

This is my first time watching a video of his, and I feel more confident buying a Canon R8 as my first pro hybrid camera 📷
Hi there, can you share your impression after 8 month usage?
@@soedionolenz Hello,
after more than 10'000 pictures, I can still say that I'm happy with my decision. For me as an amateur, it is the camera with most of the features that I was looking for, and for a reasonable price.
Ah thank you for your opinion, I am considering this camera but I am aware the lack of in body stabilization and the poor battery life. The image quality itself looks so good in other forum.
@@soedionolenz Yes, IBIS and Battery size, and only one card slot, are the cuts that make the 1000$ difference to the R6II. But I never had IBIS before, I can live with that (and you can buy lenses with image stabilization). I never had 2 card slots, I can live with that, too (backup your images to a laptop frequently, if they are important). And: Always set the camera to "flight mode" to turn off Bluetooth and WiFi, unless you actually need it. That makes battery life a lot better.
Choosing a camera is, like you said, finding out what trade offs you can live with. I absolutely love the r8 and the r6 mark ii would not have been worth the thousand dollars more for me at this moment of time. I am used to the battery life, as my previous camera used the same one. I always packed 2 or 3 batteries while shooting out and never had an issue. Ibis is useful, but i don’t shoot lower shutter speeds that often, so no problemo for me. Only electronic shutter…well I wouldn’t really notice the difference from a mechanical one anyway, especially since I don’t shoot sports. For me, there is no way that spending thousand dollars more would be justified for my uses. In fact, after trying out this camera for the last few weeks, I feel this is the camera I’ve been waiting for. It packs all the features that are essential to me, and perhaps even more than I will need. Safe to say I am as impressed with this camera as you seem to be!
I just watched a fix for clearing the buffer quicker for the R8. Menu Settings on Tab 5 in Lens Aberration Correction, Turn off the Digital Lens Optimizer. Now you do not have to wait as long if you shoot at the full capacity of 40 shots. Hope this is helpful! Cheers!
Appreciate it Man ❤️
🎉
CANON R8 is a perfect camera for everone! i have 2 of these for me and my 2nd shooter and we both using the sigma 24-70 2.8 for wedding events and it never failed me i just love it so much!
I’ve stoood up night after night, tossing and turning because I don’t know what mirrorless camera to buy. I want you to know that I am a new fan of yours! Your videos are so real, and raw and I appreciate that so much! You really simplified things and made it easy for me! So thank you!
I am using an R5 and I am jealous how sticky the Eye AF of the R8 from your sample live view. You got me sold with this statement "in my opinion the R8 auto focus is superior than that of the Sony flagship A1 and head and heel with Nikon Z9 and Z8".
The R8 is the perfect travel camera for me (an aged Canon user getting back into photography and wanting to go full frame). The hardest thing for me is figuring out my workflow to be honest.
As a stock photography shooter the R8 is perfect. Paired with the superzoom 24-240mm, one can't go wrong. Add a cheap 50mm 1.8 plastic fantastic and all bases are covered. For pro work, I would not risk a single card slot and go with the R6 mk2.
I've been using my first ever camera, 250D, for three years and now that I finished secondary school, I feel like now I can upgrade my gear. So r8 with a EF 24-105mm f4.0L IS ll USM (with an adapter) is definitely a big step up for me.
I own a R6 (and 7D mk II and 5D mk II) and an would love to have a R6 mk II. But as a hobby photographer I don't have the money to spend on a pricy camera house, so I went for the R8 and I'm not disappointed. It's sharp and fast in autofocus and I would rather spend my money in better glass (my glass are RF 24/70 2:8, RF 35 1:8, RF 85 2:0, EF 50 1:8, EF 70-200 2:8, EF 16-35 2:8, 100-400 Trumpet, EF 24-105 4:0 and some more....
An the old EF glasses adapted to RF are working so fine and I'm very happy about my R8 (and so are those from the weddings and birthdays to.....)
It's a "master" piece ;-)
Would you choose R8 over r6? On the verge of getting r6 but this video is getting me hyped for the R8 but I don’t know ..
Is your R8 better than your R6 ?
Just purchased the R8 this is my first full frame camera chose this over the R6ii so I could afford glass. Plus I wanted a small body to travel and hike with
Thanks, this puts a lot of things into perspective. As well as having me think "You have a teeny tiny buffer", needs to be added to your T-shirt collection.
I have R8 since it came out. I previously used a 5DmkII. I like to go for multi hour hikes in the forest and this is somewhat problematic with R8. I keep the camera at the ready and it is possible that the viewfinder will remain on as the camera bounces off my stomach, which will drain the battery real quick. With 5D this issue didn't exist and the battery lasted forever. Other than that, the camera is a marvel of technology and I am very impressed what it can do, especially in the video department.
You're not wrong, but the answer is to carry lots of those little batteries. They only take a second to swap out - it's not a big issue.
How does the image quality compare between the two? I too have the 5dii and was thinking R8, what lenses are you using?
@@kasparov9944 Image quality is great, I have no issues, it's at least as good as 5DmkII at low ISOs, and it's way better at higher ISOs. I have RF 35/1.8 and 50/1.8 and EF 200/2.8L. I don't use any zooms, but checked that it works with vintage manual lenses (M42 and C/Y mount).
why not just turn the camera off till your ready to shoot??
I can upon this review after purchasing it instead of an R7 as a full frame option. This also is to Replace my 80D as a backup and mainly to avoid using my R6 I situationd where I don't want to put my R6 at risk. I'm glad to hear you say good things about it because I really like it. As a bonus i realized it uses the same battery as the T6 Rebel which was my first camera so I have a total of 3 batteries from it. My R8 is also going to be my "on the go" camera ( another benifit of it's small body ) since I decided to stop using my phone ( except when I'm doing IG stories or something ) but yeah I'm happy with this camera and I love having it with me ✌🏾
My R10 uses the same battery and I use 3rd party batteries and also in the past with my SL2. The Canon battery IS better. The 3rd party battery doesn't last as long and when it dies, there is no warning. The battery level indicator never changes so you never know how low it is until its too late. I agree with Jared....Buy the Canon battery.
I hate that with my 200d, after market is shocking and just gets worse the more it's used and I get less than half the amount of shots off as with the Canon one
Because of Canon, we don't see the state of the battery. I have seven batteries for my RP and only one is genuine, but the R8 is on the way so I will have two of them :) I have an R with third party batteries and the indicator is working. And these batteries are very old I used then in my old 70D and 80D as well.
@@Slanzro That because the third party manufacturer of LP-E6 has successfully decoded that battery so it can be recognized by camera.
Great long term review. This looks like a greta option for a Full Frame body, for the "serious hobby" photographer. I'm currently looking to upgrade from my well worn 7D (MK1) & was looking at the R7, but now the R8 is an option.
The R7 is closer to the 7D, and much better than the original 7D. If your uses still require the closer reach of the APS-C crop sensor, then stick with the R7. Even though the R8 is small and light, the R7 is smaller and lighter yet, but still has the larger battery as well as IBIS. I have both (R8 is new) as well as an R5C, and the R7 is the one up to now that I've used the most. Having said that, I was gifted the R8 for my birthday, and it's been a pleasure to use.
So, R7 advantages: larger battery, higher resolution sensor, full mechanical shutter to 15fps, IBIS, 2 card slots, weatherproofed.
R8 advantages: better autofocus, (R3's autofocus system), more compact and lighter weight for a full-frame, full-frame?
9:52 Prestige worldwide - my favourite daly preset to start with
Of all the camera's my dream camera is the Nikon D850 no clue why. I can hear it whispering to me
Been a good 5-6 years since I’ve watched your videos cool to see you’re still rockin and rollin - cozying up to a R8, glad you love it too
Thank you for great review I was thinking of upgrading my M50 and now definitely will be getting R8!
What’s wrong with your m50? I have the 22, 32 and 56 primes for mine, and there is no picture I can’t take! Video quality is great as well! The m50 is the last camera I will ever need!
I think the R8 will be the replacement of my eos2000d when I have the money some day.
Awesome content Jared and team. Been watching you since you popped up. Very consistent and very on-brand. And I have no issue acknowledging Fro as a legit expert photog and general purpose geek.
You finally got my sub and notifications set on "ALL". I watch a few a year, so don't expect more than that? Are we clear? lol
Also, I've never bought a single piece of kit based on what Jared thinks. And never will. And you should be happy about that, because I point people that ask me questions I got tired of in 1984 and got VERY TIRED OF as we all rode the Photoshop true believer train and dealt with very skilled emulsion heads and their happy crappy ignorant BS for a solid couple of decades.
I've owned the Lumix S5 and the RP. I loved the ergonomics of the RP but the low light performance and color science were way below the Panasonic's, (The only exception were the skin tones, I preferred the look of Canon's.) No surprise there since the RP is an entry level ff camera. How is the R8 in low light, at high ISOs? I'm into handheld street photography. I'm thinking of buying the new Sony A7Cii but it's more expensive than the Canon and since I will get it with something like a 20-60 lens, it will be heavier than the Canon rf 20-105 lens which was amazingly light.
Great Video!! Thinking of picking up the R8 as an everyday carry/vacation camera with a rf 35mm. I was gonna look at the r50 but I can't leave the full frame!
Just started the video. Great that it dropped. I have an R8 on order (after the seller have priced and traded in my RP) and have missed reviews from the bigger camera-tubers about the R8 after longer use.
Love this type of review with the ambient music.
Where are you guys with a6700 vs. R8?
You can't compare cropped sensor cameras with full frames , the later would always have some advantages
Im looking to upgrade from r50 and r8 seems to be a good value for money.
It's a beast
How about a comparison with other entry-level cameras? For my tasks, for example, it seems to me that the Z5 is preferable in this price category. The Nikon has two memory card slots and sensor stabilization.
The Nikon 6ii apparently has better iso than canon r series cameras and that Nikon is “old”. I forget which ones but it basically outperforms the high level r canon cameras .
People overlook Nikon
i am going to buy it....someday.
I love how this video came out on the day i bought a Canon RP for the same price of an r8
😂😂
What lens all around lens you can recommend for this Camera?? I am traveler.
i have the r6 markii, r5c, and the c70. this camera works great with smaller lenses but pairing it with high quality lenses like the canon primes, it overheats very easily.....and if you are a videographer that is extremely annoying. so this camera is only used for us when shooting 1080p for making youtube videos or live streaming in 1080p. If you have the money get the r6 markii. its more suitable for documentary and other big projects. I will say for gimbal work the r8 works great because we only shoot short clips anyway when its on a gimbal. that being said if your not doing major video stuff and just a shooting for fun or for small projects the R8 is very useful, especial for gimbal work.
is overheating really that much of a big problem? Im not into videography though. I was thinking of buying R8 and i shoot pretty much everything. Sports, landscape, portraits, astro....
Nice commercial for Canon, but you should have made a comparison between the R8 and R6 Mark I, which is now heavily discounted. The R6 Mark I costs only $500 more and offers a better battery, higher resolution EVF, IBIS, a mechanical shutter, a faster shutter (1/8000 vs 1/4000), weather sealing, a joystick, and 2 SD card slots.
Who else pooping while watching this
🙋♂️
Lol me 😂
I’m about to lol
😂🙋♂️
This review is a real helper for me, thank you.
Oh man, I have been wanting to upgrade from my RP because I was so bummed about how poorly the RP handles 4K footage. I think this body might be the best solution for my studio camera. Great video as always Jared. My go to dude for all things camera. Now give me your stinking presets!!! hahaha j/k
Did you get it? I can't find if it can output 4k raw video to an external monitor/ recorder
A really comprehensive speedy run thru of the pro’s and con’s of the R8, looks a great, almost compact, camera. Ofc most of the lens aren’t, but my budget won’t extend to the pro lens anyway..). Thks Jared.
I'd recommend this camera. That being said I'm a r5 shooter
Hi Jared, thank you for this Canon R8 review. Do you plan to make a conparison review between the Canon R8 and the Sony a7C II? It would be good to see how you compare these cameras. Thanks!
is this really an entry level camera? Currently running the M50 and looking to upgrade to a full frame
Great review, Jared! Clear, practical, comprehensive. Thank you!
Just bought the R6 Mkii. Thanks for the buyers remorse.
The R6 mark ii is a much better camera...
Better choice over the R8.
If it helps I tried out the R8 and returned it fast. It gets hot in photo mode, arguably too small (especially the strap, it has significantly less width than the basic model), the EVF isn't very good and the battery life is surprisingly terrible. Personally I'm waiting for R62 to get cheaper and just get it. If you only take casual photos then R8 is perfectly fine, but the heavier your usage is, the more problematic it gets.
I'm still on the fence for my upgrade between this or the R7. I really like shooting handheld because I like to get weird angles, so naturally I would love to have the IBIS in the R7. However, it would be nice to go to full frame (currently am not), and to have the current/updated AF and Processor.
I just bought the R8 about a month ago and the full frame sensor really pushed me to the R8. I was also considering the R7 haha. I think full frame is worth it if you’re like me and gonna keep the camera for a long time.
I would go with r8. R7 is good but it does get unnatural noise/color pretty quickly when raising the iso and for most people I would say go with the r8 (or a fuji instead for aps-c) with some exceptions like wildlife. Camera shake can be countered with faster shutter speeds, not to mention the IS that some lenses do have. I would definitely go r8 if you are on the fence.
@@ryanclouse299 But raising the ISO to what degree? I tend to try and keep in the ISO super low if I can help it. So like what kind of numbers are we talking?
@@BlissfullyIgnorant You only really need 1/(focal length) shutter speed minimum as a rule of thumb. Maybe a little more if you aren't careful with the shot. The iso on the r8 should be around 2 stops better than the r7 anyway due to tech and pixel size/density. You also have tools like good ai denoiser now too.
I generally shoot at 1/250 anyway for general people despite being well over the needed handheld shutter speed. Ibis only helps for handheld and not for subject motion. Its only really useful for static objects, Longer focal lengths and video. I think most longer lenses usually have some sort of IS anyway.
I would argue correct exposure is much more important than a little bit of noise, and it sometimes is the difference between having the shot and having nothing. Don't be afraid of using iso 6400 iso etc. I was also worried about having high ISO at first. :)
@@ryanclouse299 But can't you get more stops with IBIS? And it gives you like 5 more or something? And really again I'm no too concerned with ISO. R7 says it can go to max 32000 which is more than enough for me.
They are both pretty similar spec/hardware wise honestly except for a few things and difference in features, which most still make me lean towards the R7. It has IBIS (which is the main reason I want it, because I like shooting handheld, because I like getting weird angles and unique perspectives), anti dust shutter, longer battery life, and two card slots.
The only reason I'd really get the R8 is the bigger sensor, and maybe because it has the latest auto focus from the R6, but even then, R7 still seems to have perfectly good tracking and focus.
I enjoy viewing all of your videos.Your’re always giving the best senerios and possibile situations in photo and video work. i almost picked up this camera as a main for particular work. I needed ff. The deal breaker for me with this camera was “ Flash “. However i will eventually pick this body up as a second or travel camera. It’s an awesome camera for everything it does for the price point.
What is that you have hooked up to the camera @ 3:59? External Screen? What are those for if the camera has a screen? (just getting into photography ive only been doing product shooting since im a web dev so trying to learn as much as I can about getting to the next level. Thanks in advance for any answers. (Currently have NX210, Canon R8, Rebel xti, G9 cameras)
I always enjoy your videos. Thank you for posting this.
Moving from a 6Dmkii. Would you pick up a used R6 or a new R8? I know both would be an upgrade but the battery life on the R8 and the lower megapixels of the R6 both have me worried.
Great video man!! I'm looking for a great camera for mostly video but of course not limited to. This seems perfect for me. I have a gimbal for the stability. Funny, I live in the greater Philly area. I didn't know there was an Allens right in Levittown. Thanks man!!!
Awesome review with great detail. I am upgrading to an R8 and I am looking forward to using it!
I can't find a clear answer online but can anyone tell me if the R8 can output clean 4K raw to an external monitor/ recorder?
It’s a very clear answer in this video: No.
Would you make a video about Lumix S5ii in photography? There are lots of video talk about video spec but not a real world photography. Wish you will make this out :)
I hope this year get R6 or R8 for wedding videography
would you recommend this camer for videos? is this just as good for videos as it is for pictures?
Thank you. Great review. Looking for a backup for once in a lifetime trip to Alaska. This might be it.
R8will be great but
It took 3 years but i have saved enough for a z7II and a 24-120 for landscape and events.
Should i go for it or no........
Jared, I bought stuff you recommend and have been greatly satisfied. May I ask you for a followup video and some tutorial with the R8 for advanced video and photo output...humble request
I’m watching this for the first time 6 months after you post this video
Yo Jared, What shutter curtain did you use when shooting sports with the R8. I got rolling shutter effects on mine while shooting sports. What settings did you use?🤔💭
can the R8 charge with usb c while its operating? unlike the RP, it only can charge when turned off. thanks!
I would use it for video rig and a external battery
Aren’t we missing a major setback for outdoor photography which is weather sealing. That’s more of a dealbreaker than anything else when traveling.
The R8 looks tempting to save some $, but I think I'll wait to see in a few years if the R6 II will have some serious price drops like where the EOS R has currently gotten to (August 2023).
Thank you for the great video, With the new R1 and R5 out, I was thinking of upgrading to either one of these, or was thinking about waiting and looking on the used market for the R3. I currently have the EOSR8 and have been happy with it but there are a few features I am missing that I like. But felt there was not a lot to upgrade to with the R3. What are your thoughts of upgrading from a EOSR8 to one of these?
Hey Jared would you advice going from a Sony A73 to this R8? I do landscape, wildlife and street photography. Thanks for the great content you put up.
The viewfinder is my only concern. My current camera has a terrible viewfinder, so I mostly shoot using the screen. I can live with most of the downsides of the R8, but I want a good viewfinder. Maybe it's hood enough, I'm not sure.
What "bothers" me with the R8 is the missing redundant recording which makes it useless (to be very harsh) for me
so buy the R6 Mark II
Would this be the camera to upgrade too from the m50 mk2
Did the video looped ? I heard the same things couple of times
How's the build quality? Half magnesium alloy half plastic?
Really really good advice Jared. Thanks
this camera is insane for the price, I really can't think of a better deal right now
Is it allready 6 months
First of all I'd like to say very good through review of the camera. Thanks a lot! Secondly I'd like to ask your opinion on this camera. I'm a fairly long time Canon DSLR shooter (mostly 7D) and I'm about to switch over to mirrorless. Full frame isn't a must have but while I'm making a change I'd like to switch over to FF finally as well. I'm not a pro by all means but when I do something I'd like to do it as best as I can. I mostly shoot birds like seagulls which doesn't really count as wildlife in my opinion, outdoor sports like soccer, voleyball or tennis and a little bit of macro. With my new camera I'd like to take a serious step into portrait photography as well. The setup I have in mind, at least to start off, is Canon R8 with Canon 24-105L f4, 50mm f1.8 stm using the adaptor. What do you think of this setup? Autofocus is important and I'm a bit worried about using adapters.
This camera is fully capable of doing everything you said. I shot the Harlem globetrotters with it at 40fps and you saw the results. Just make sure to use good glass.
@@froknowsphotoHey thanks a lot for quick reply! I loved the shots you got with this camera and it actually got me hyped to get it even more. My only problem is I can only afford f4 lenses at the start and that's using the EF - R mount adaptor. Do you have experience with this? Do you think it will have a significant effect on autofocus performance?
A comment more about the presentation style sir. You show irreverence but very much an informing and informed style albeit a bit to much lacrosse! I like the fact your emphasise is about the individual and not the equipment and in this light I am to decide on a R5,R6 OR R8. I'm leaning towards an R6 currently but as I'm not an immediate buyer I have options open. I would like to ask for settings for taking firework pictures, I've done some nice pictures before but I feel it was luck not judgement.
Finally the Kaperneck hair style works for you!
the lack of IBIS is a deal breaker for me.. No reason to upgrade my R6 for a 4mp resolution bump. Video features are useless for photographers. I'd wish there would be cameras without video features at lower costs.
the lack of dual slot is a dealbreaker for any professional unfortunately, a mutual friend introduced me a guy that got sued for losing the work on a sd failure (lexar card)
I apologize if this has already been discussed, but I've heard of some banding issues when shooting using full electronic shutter under certain lighting conditions. Did you ever encounter any of this? Will be using to shoot a lot of stage/theater performers both indoors and outdoors in low light settings with constant lighting changes on stage throughout the shows. Thanks
That’s what the variable shutter is for, to counteract the flickering in electronic shutter. This camera has that feature just like the other newer canon cameras
Great review canon trying come back w R8.. nice 👍
Thank you for this video. I'm looking for a second camera body as a travel and/or backup camera for my R7 (ans successor for my fullframe travel camera EOS RP). So with this video have I have made the decission to by the R8. Thank you Jared for this video. As lenses I use my "older" EF L glas with the EF/RF mount adapters and make great fotos with my R system cameras and my older (and vbeloved) EOS 7D Mark II and 700D. So I'm very flexible with all my camera gear, the older ones and the newer ones.😅
The battery is the issue - as well as the expensive/massive/canon only lenses. passed on it and bought the x-s20
You can purchase a aftermarket battery grip. The RP battery grip works with the R8
@@TheCloudfoot72Canon should have sized the r8 battery like their other full frames - not relying on their customers buying extra batteries and grips
@@georgedres7914 Then the body would be larger. I like the compactness.
After two days in the field - battery is absolutely not an issue - on electronic shutter lasts about 1.2-1.5k photos over the period of 2h constantly on. I have two - one charging i the backpack while i shoot the other...worked like a charm.
@@BajsMejnijak I was testing the AF and tinkered with the menu and the battery died in over an hour (0 photos). I don't think taking pics is what really drains the battery on this one, it's the AF (and EVF). Can't reliably shoot an event without additional battery. Not the biggest hurdle, but it's definitely something to keep in mind.
My Guy, I just cannot get enough of you saying "GLASS, GLASS, GLASS GLASS, GLASS"!!! CLASSIC!!!!😂😂😂😂👍🏾👍🏾 I absolutely video Jared, you are definitely a class act bro!!!😉😉
Lexar V60 works well for the video biggest codec 4k60 FF IPB Clog3
Question to everyone... I have the T5i yet and I want to make a big jump into full frame. I only have EF/ EF-s lenses. Would yo recommend a 6D mkII o the R8 with the Ef to R adapter? thankyou! Greetings fron Argentina.
Nice one was going to px my r6 to the r6 mk2 but I think I’ll just get the r8 as a 2nd body 👍👍
Would the R8 be a good camera to record a dj in low light at night. With lights flashing and bass
High capacity high speed SD Cards right now are more expensive than CF Express Type B cards of similar size, so be ready to spend quite a lot of $$$ for an inferior card. We are talking hundreds.
High capacity? You don’t need cards Oder 64 gigs for stills. Let alone 128. Anything more is well
Over kill.
Thanks very much for this information!
The only downside to me as a 5D user, is the battery. If it uses the LP6 it’ll be THE perfect camera for me.
Hi Jared, in your opinion how is the AF of R8 vs RP? Now I'm using RP but I'm non absolutely happy with that camera and I'm seriously thinking to take another body camera, like R8.
small question, do you think it will perform well with a plane that has propellors even in the 6 fps mode
Thanks for this video!
I got confused during your video. You would compare the R8 to the R3 but show a image of the R6 Mark II. Were the comparisons with the R3 for real or were you confused and meant to say the R6 Mark II?
Sir, is it suitable for bird photography? Please make vdo comparing r7 with r8.
What about as an upgrade from the Canon R7? I've had the R7 a year now and I'm wondering, as an amateur photographer and videographer, if the R8 wouldn't have been a better option.
I have the R7 and R8 and just made a video comparing them. For most situations I can't tell the difference in video other than low light.
R6ii
@@morvegil Yes, R6II is better
I traded my Eos R in for the R8. With the 24-105L and the 100-500L I think I am well covered for my amateur photography.
love your vids!
