As a professional shooter. I started with Canon. First DSLR was a 10D in 2004. I invested heavly in Canon Glass. During the Mirrorless Wars, SONY def had the edge, and I almost switched. I have tried both Nikon and Sony systems as well. Bought used ones to try out, and ended up going back to canon. My personal preference and having shot with Canon for so many years. I have an R3 and looking for a good backup. Think I will be going with an R6MK2

For me, I would go R8 almost every day if we are talking these three cameras, I would rather get the slightly cheaper camera, get some glass and then save up for the camera that I really would want (R5 mk II, R1...) down the line. I personally don't mind the slightly worse features on the R8, if it means I can more quickly get nice glass and equipment. PLUS by getting the R8 and using the 1k left over you could probably get a camera bag, a clip, a tripod, extra battery and some filters (if you expect you are going to need them) if you are starting out. Now that sort of stuff is not as exciting to buy, but if they make your experience taking photos more enjoyable, then getting e.g. and expensive and really good camera bag is worth it, if it means you will actually bring it with you.

@A D Nikon needs to take the z9 and create newer cameras with that and improve upon that tech. They are falling behind in autofocus miserably compared to sony and canon that is a fact. I liked my Nikon Z but I got rid of it because it just was not up to par and they need to trickle down the Z9 tech to the lower end new models or they will continue to lose even more market share. If Nikon does not shift , they may not be around in more than 5 years. Sony and Canon it seems will be the top dogs unless Nikon kicks it in gear.

@caroldavis5921 10 ай бұрын

I switched from Nikon z6ii to the R6ii in April as I was having tracking issues when switching from vertical to horizontal. I'm a boutique school photographer so this is imperative for me. I don't have time to reset focus 3-3 times a kid, just got too frustrating. Plus the lack of lens options. I love the R6ii, but am realizing it's too big for my hand. I got a hold of the A7 iv and it fits nicely in my hand (almost as nice as the Nikon). I don't notice much difference in colors but I don't think I'm 'clicking' as well with the A7 iv. I did hold the R8 at the camera store and it felt good in my hands. I'm not willing (I think) to give up the 2nd card slot and frame rate. I like the idea of third party lenses though, with Sony. Ugh. I need a money tree so I can have both the R6ii and the A7 iv. Help!

Perfect timing with the last couple of videos.. My last camera was the Rebel xt,, started getting to know it before personal things happened and I walked away... Just recently the shutterbug has reawakened in me and I've been looking at these 3 frames... I reserved the R8 a few days ago but was still feeling a little hesitant.. I'm good now.. Glad I made the decision to move forward with the R8.. Looking forward to rejoining the world of photography,, and hopefully learning and expanding beyond what the R8 offers. We shall see. I'd drop the money for the R6 II,, but to be honest I'm afraid of dropping that kind of money and just not using all of the camera enough.

I have a lot of LP-E17 batteries that I used on my 77d which is a big plus for me of getting the R8. I'm sure that a 3rd party will release a battery grip that can take 2 LP-E17 battery even though a cable is needed to use the vertical shutter. This will lessen the "issue" of changing batteries frequently because of LP-E17 lower capacity. I'm just a hobbyist and for me, I'm ok with an EOS R8. Also, IBIS is not a big deal for me as 2/3 of my EF lenses have image stabilization.

Thank you Jarod for this review. I shoot Canon, Fuji, Nikon, Olympus and Sony, but the vast majority of my gear is Canon. I am finishing my transition from DSLRs to the R-series bodies and currently operate 1xR5, 2xR6 and have just got the R6MkII. It is an awesome camera for all the reasons you have eloquently outlined, although I will note on the 3rd party lens front that Sony have been in the MILC market for about 10 years with their mount, while the R-mount is just approaching 5, and of that, they (and Nikon) lost quite a bit of development and production time because of COVID. So, I am giving Canon (and Nikon) a wee while longer to get their lens selection out there, and then I expect to see lenses from reputable 3rd parties like Tamron and Sigma. I have four RF lenses currently but currently retain the EF 70-200 f.4 MkII, 100-400MkII, 70-300L and the Sigma 150-600c and 60-600s lenses. ALL of which have worked without issues via the adapters on my R-series MILCs. A camera is just a tool, and I am not a brand follower per se, for different purposes each has its strength. I went to Canon back at the start of the century for the glass, not the bodies - which change very frequently. That said, when one invests in a system, it becomes expensive to chop and change, so I don't. Frankly, ALL makers make awesome cameras, the rest is down to budget and to a major extent, the skill of the operator. Thank you again for your interesting review.

That said i prefer my Tamron 35-150mm f2-2.8 than his Canon RF 24-70 f2.8. But the camera... the canon is newer and has some bells and whistles but that isn't that tremendous. Not like when i switched from the Canon 7d1 to the sony A7IV. also on noise, nowadays with pureraw and those other programs... it doesn't matter as much as in the past. if you can shoot up to 12800ISO it is plenty enough.

@TheWillRogers Жыл бұрын

There are aftermarket grips for the EOS Rp, which shares the same body as the R8 so I would suspect those will work. The R8 and Rp lack additional contacts for grip->camera communication so the shutter for portrait orientation is operated via a release cable (port located just above audio ports). I can't guarantee this will work, but the body is the same, the battery is the same, and I can't think of a reason off the top of my head why it wouldn't work. It's not as good as name-brand grips most of the time, but they exist. The extra grip and battery life are super nice on long days or when you've slapped a huge lens to the front of the camera, every time I've used one I'm glad I shelled out the $50 for one.

@TheWillRogers Жыл бұрын

@A D it depends on the grip and the camera. My D5300 grip didn't and my E-M1 grip does not block the SD door. For a camera like the R8 or Z50, ones with the SD card in the grip, yes, you'll have to at least partially remove a grip to access storage. This isn't a big deal, unless for some reason you're using weak ass SD cards that you need to swap frequently. Even shooting 4k and railing off 11fps with my Z50 I don't fill over a 512gb over the course of a day.

Jared, I keep hearing about the 40FPS on the R8, but what if I want to shoot at 20 FPS? I haven't heard anywhere if there is an option to shoot in electronic shutter with less than 40FPS (15, 20, 30 Etc).

It's a no brainer for me, the Canon may be better but that's really getting ever single benefit out of each feature that you may not use. I've just priced up both ecosystems and my preferred lenses, i.e. 70-200 2.8, and 24-70 2.8 and there's £3000 difference in price!!! That's mad! I can then get a 85mm 1.4 extra and still save £2200 The lens issue absolutely kills the Canon argument and I've been a Canon fan 35 years.

Just adapt some EF Art lenses from Sigma. There are videos out there comparing the RF mount 24-70 f2.8L from Canon and the EF 24-70 f2.8 art lens from Sigma on an adapter and the difference is basically marginal, like tiny improvements in sharpness and autofocus when you go with the RF lens.

Honestly they still lead the market in lenses sold. KZfaq makes it feel like people aren’t buying Canon lenses but people definitely are.

with these lens choices yes but canon have 35 mm 1.8 stabilized, while if you compare Sony their 35 mm lens is costs more without stabilization.

R8 liking it better but cannot get used the to the lack of battery indicator all you get is full charge half charge. So when that great shot appears the tiny battery goes dead with a red letter warning in the viewfinder. I am returning it for R6 mark 2. My 60D has the same battery and I have 4 spares.

Started shooting on a Sony a6400 .I do lots of automotive photography and want to get into the full frame game. Any recommendations? I was thinking about going with the A7iii but kinda wanna see what other brands offer.

@lb7144 5 ай бұрын

If you’re deep in the Sony ecosystem, they have some awesome full frames. The Sony A7IV is running around $2,300 now. There will probably be more sales at the first of the year. I just got a Canon R6 MarkII and I don’t regret it. I’m not a professional so it does all that and then some for my little needs. You can’t go wrong with either camera. The Panasonic Lumix S5 II is down around $1,400 now! It’s a beast with all kinds of video & photo features. No over heating with its built in fan. The new autofocus technology is spot on compared to previous models. I also have a Canon 5D MKIV DSLR and it takes awesome photos. Sony has some older kit out there also that still gets the job done that’s mirrorless or DSLR. Sony does video better, heck they’re music, tv, and movies. 🍿 Good luck and happy holidays

I'm a sony A7iii user for 4 years now, it work great. i'm hybrid user btw. my only complaint is the poor AWB and the LCD isn't great. but for everything else is great. now i'm considering to upgrade for A7IV, but it's so compelling to see the new R8. with less than $600 i can upgrade to a more feature wise camera. should i? lol

@ceasarmercado6759 7 ай бұрын

@bobbyrossfella3248 14 күн бұрын

I was looking at both the a7iv and r6 mark ii, instead decided on the r8. It has great internals. 24.2 mp which is good enough for high quality stills. 4k at 60 fps without crop. 10 bit. Light weight. Great in low light. Only big issue I could find is the battery drain. Honestly though, for 1k less than Mark ii and A7iv, you can afford to buy a couple extras plus spend more on better glass. For the price point, you can't beat the features this camera offers.

@truthsayers8725 Жыл бұрын

still using antiquated 5d3 and 5d4 so im kinda dumb about mirrorless... WHY does a mirroless give you elongation on fast moving objects? how does it differ from having a mirror that gets up out of the way? thanks. still would love to have an r5 for portrait, because i really love canon's eye-focus and want the resolution of the 5 over the 6 or 6II

@gianniskamakas3578 Жыл бұрын

It happens only in electronic shutter. Where no physical object blocks the sensor. So while the readout is taking place, something got written at those nanoseconds. It's an added thing, you get the same results as 5d4 using the curtain

Can you use a sigma for Canon lens on the Rs with a EF to RF adapter?

@Kaho_Tokyoo Жыл бұрын

The battery is slightly annoying with the R8, especially if you want to shoot without disruptions. I went to the R6ii versus the R8 just cos I wanted a very versatile body camera and capture moments with the mechanical shutter with the certainty of no rolling shutter, and I just dislike carrying multiple batteries. Also, IBIS in low light handheld with my standard 24-105 F4 certainly helps

@TheDka1 Жыл бұрын

I do like the A7IV from what I've seen, but I've got to say that the R6II is a marvel of a camera. The speed of the sensor is amazing (I'm talking readout speed and FPS), plus the AF is really strong. In the UK it's a little pricey £2779 and I've just not got the money for the lenses I'd need, otherwise I'd probably get the R6II. I'm hoping that Sony can implement faster non-stacked sensors into their next generation of cameras.

@truthseeker6804 Жыл бұрын

i believe its the same sensor as the r3 but they just didnt make it stacked. they both have 6k as their max video output.

Hey jared! I am a sport photographer, current i am using the sony a7ii with the tamron 70-300 and i want to upgrade me gear. What do you think is a better combo the canon r8 with EF 70-200 2.8 II or sony a7iii with Tamron 70-180 2.8 ?

R8 with the EF 70-200 for sure!

@adamadamis Жыл бұрын

Canon's R8 would be a bad choice for sports due to the amateur controls and lack of a joystick. Also, 6fps may be too low, depending on the sport. Finally, the battery is kinda pathetic, and you may prefer a camera with 2 card slots.

@truthseeker6804 Жыл бұрын

you can go for the regular canon r6 not mark 2. the a7iii is an outdated camera, better go for r8 with modern autofocus.

Tech is an endless race, (love it) with each company leap frogging it's competitors. What amazes me is how often consumers are willing to switch systems based on the latest and perceived greatest. Even though their past & current equipment accomplishes everything they need. We'll sell are equipment at a discount to buy features we'll never use or need. These cameras are so feature packed we'll for get half the sh*t it does and never use it. From the rat race to the tech race, wow, they got many of us good. 🙂

The ZV-e1 doesn’t have a viewfinder as it leans heavily towards being a video camera only (not a photography camera). That’s probably why it wasn’t included in this comparison.
