Mirrorless Cameras
Step up to full-frame photography and video and realise your creative ambitions.
Give your creativity a full-frame upgrade. Better bokeh, wider angles of view and image quality that will blow you away – even in low light.
The full-frame advantage also extends to video for spectacular cinematic results.
Stills or video: keep subjects in sharp focus as they move around the frame.
– Alexandra Andreeva
Enjoy wider dynamic range, reduced digital noise and crystal-clear detail – that’s the EOS R8’s full-frame advantage
Perfect for powerful portraits. With a larger sensor comes shallower depth of field and more dynamic range. Make your subject stand out against a smooth, out-of-focus background with beautiful bokeh. Capture more details in highlights and shadows.
Transform the way you see the landscape, and get up close for immersive documentary images.
Full-frame cameras, like the EOS R8, are great for capturing atmospheric images in low-light conditions.
Compare the EOS R8’s background blur with that of an APS-C camera. Pin-sharp subjects are emphasised better against smooth, out-of-focus backgrounds.
Smaller APS-C sized sensor
EOS R8's full frame sensor
See how a 15mm lens looks on the full-frame EOS R8, compared with an EOS camera with a smaller APS-C sensor. Any given focal length gives a 1.6x wider angle of view.

By oversampling 6K sensor data, the EOS R8 produces high-quality 4K video footage at frame rates up to 60p.1 If you’re new to video, you’ll love how simple the camera makes it to get creative with different frame rates and resolutions. You’ll appreciate its advanced features as you become an accomplished filmmaker.
Use the EOS R8’s low-contrast Canon Log 3 colour profile for more options while colour grading. This footage preserves detail in bright highlights and dark shadows, thanks to its wide, dynamic range.
Add feeling and emotion to movement, shooting at up to 180p in Full HD.2 When viewed at normal playback speeds, this shows subjects in sumptuous slow motion – revealing hidden details of their movement.
Gauge the perfect exposure. Six coloured overlays show the distribution of luminance in a scene.
Master critical sharpness when focusing manually. In-focus areas are outlined with a distinctive (and customisable) colour.
Striped overlays make it quick and simple to judge the correct exposure
Change your view, even when shooting video with prime lenses, with up to 10x digital zoom.3
