CANON ANNOUNCES THE EOS R8 AND EOS R50

Canon has announced two new entry-level cameras in its mirrorless EOS R series, the full-frame Canon EOS R8 and the APS-C-format EOS R50.

The EOS R8 is Canon's lightest full-frame mirrorless model, and borrows its compact proportions from the EOS RP, while boasting specs including blistering 40fps burst shooting and 4K 60p video that make it an instant contender for the title of best entry-level camera.

The EOS R50, meanwhile, effectively folds Canon's bestselling EOS M50 into the R system, while adding upgrades only possible on RF-mount cameras.

Let's take a look at both new cameras in more detail...

Canon EOS R8 

While take its design cues from the EOS RP, the EOS R8 inheris some of the more desirable features from the recently announced Canon EOS R6 Mark II, and sits somewhere between these two bodies in the 13-camera EOS R lineup.

Features from the R6 Mark II include its 24.2MP full-frame sensor, a native ISO range of 100-102.400 and that 40fps burst mode (using the electronic shutter). It also boasts the powerful Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, with Canon claiming that autofocus can be achieved in just 0.3 secs. In addition to the standard Face, Eye, Head, Body, Animal and Vehicle detection, the EOS R8 has new tracking modes for horses, trains and aircraft, with autofocus possible down to -6.5EV.

Features that the new model has in common with the EOS RP are its compact and portable size, which makes it ideal for photographers and vloggers who like to pack light. In fact, the EOS R8 is significantly lighter than the RP with a battery and memory card inserted.

The R8's small and portable form factor comes at the cost of having no in-body image stabilisation, though Canon is keen to stress that many RF lenses have optical stabilisation - and the R8 also has a Movie Digital IS mode that will crop your frame by around 10% but deliver more stable results.
