Canon has just launched the EOS R8 Mark II, but its most interesting new feature isn’t in the spec sheet.
The result is a sharper, more angular full-frame camera inspired by some of the most recognizable film models in Canon’s history.
The R8 Mark II is, of course, an entirely contemporary camera.
The biggest improvement over its predecessor, however, is the introduction of 5-axis in-body image stabilization (IBIS), making it the lightest EOS camera with IBIS ever made.
Combined with uncropped 4K 60p and Full HD 180p recording and 6K oversampling, it is particularly good news for videomakers looking for a capable full-frame alternative to Sony cameras.
Canon has just launched the EOS R8 Mark II, but its most interesting new feature isn’t in the spec sheet. For the first time in a long while, the Japanese brand has openly looked to its own past, moving at least partly away from the soft, rounded lines that have defined its digital cameras for decades. The result is a sharper, more angular full-frame camera inspired by some of the most recognizable film models in Canon’s history.
The R8 Mark II is, of course, an entirely contemporary camera. It features a 24.2 MP sensor, DIGIC X processor and Dual Pixel CMOS AF II system already seen on other EOS R models. The biggest improvement over its predecessor, however, is the introduction of 5-axis in-body image stabilization (IBIS), making it the lightest EOS camera with IBIS ever made. Combined with uncropped 4K 60p and Full HD 180p recording and 6K oversampling, it is particularly good news for videomakers looking for a capable full-frame alternative to Sony cameras.
