Canon R8??? WTF is wrong with Canon 

Spoilers: the EOS R mark 2 is not coming out, as it was the R mount prototype. That's it. The R8 is the replacement of the RP, and the R5 and R6 both replace the R.

I switched to Sony 2 years ago, that's it. Not going back to Canon. Their RF system is crippled. Not for mass consumers only for rich or professional who are willing to spend on their RF lenses. And Why Make a Canon R8 that is budget friendly but no offering of cheaper lens alternatives. Don't really understand Canon strategy, makes no sense.

Tbh. a used EOS R is a great b cam. I use the R as a b cam next to my R6 and it works wonderful. Also, when I use my Ninja V it can even record 10bit. I have used this combo for a lot of talking head shots and the 4K crop even helps since it turns my 50mm into a portrait focal length which is perfect for this scenario.

Boy those specs on the R8 were a little off! Lol! Now that the R8 just came out today, what will you do now and what do you think ?? 😊

Just get the R6 mk2. I upgraded from the mk1 and it’s a perfect b cam to my C70. 24 megapixels. Not 30min record limit. No overheating in 4K 30 or below. Full frame 4K 60 downsampled from 6k. False color, lens breathing compensation, video and photo switch, up to 3 custom video & separate photo modes. Up to 40 fps stills. Live-streaming with just usb connection and improved autofocus. Love the channel keep up the great content!

I think it's more of an RP replacement. They might bring the fight for the R replacement at the $2K range. I used to think it'd be the R8, but it's just seeming inconsistent/silly/confusing. But we should probably stop thinking of "replacements" for those cameras and focus on what they give us and how they fit with our needs, or the market needs. It's been too long. As far as specs go, if R6 goes down further in price, that is probably now the R replacement. Like below if that makes a little sense. What's interesting is how they'd match this up with the R7 specs. Cause they won't want to cannibalize that, so they'd cripple this R8 then. So yeah, maybe 24 MP. It might not go past 4k 30p, possibly cropped 60p, burst at around 10fps. I'd want 2 card slots, but it's probably 50/50 for this one. By the way, you kept saying S-log 3 😅

I still go with EOS R6 mark ii🙃 Exchange for my EOS 90D

I just switched to Sony for this very thing from 3 years ago. I was looking for a b cam and the only thing that I could find for the R was the Sony a6600. I needed unlimited recording for weddings and interviews. Then I just sold my R to get the FX30 and I don’t miss it honestly. The next b camera available with Canon was the R7 which I tried but didn’t love honestly and the feeling of plastic compared with an FX3 equivalent feel sold me immediately. And the xlr handle option (even though I slightly despise it) makes it super handy for doc set ups.

I think now R6 competes with Sony A73. Canon R6 is still available to buy with usually lower price. I think R was just a placeholder for the mirrorless series form canon and it won’t have a successor. R6 is really a capable video camera for some workflows and you can find it for a good price now. R6mk2 is probably the most underrated camera released in last few months but it’s actually a hybrid workhorse.

At least camera filmmakers channel says the r8 will be a crop sensor too 😭 he's not that credible but he gets some stuff right

the Panasonic S5 Mii would be a good friend the L mount is very interesting.

Unless you have the camera in your hand, watching you complain about a camera is utterly useless.

You are aware that Sony was hit with a class action suite because when people used 1st curtain shutter the A73 shutter flew apart. Sony denied it, so they were sued. The suite was settled about a year later. I prefer companies that admit mistakes.

After being in the Sony realm a pair of years I sold everything and buyed Nikon Z. There are cheap third party AF lenses for full frame (Yongnuo, Viltrox, TTartisan), Nikon Z6II and Z6 could be a good buy if you can afford it. And if you want go cheap, the Z30 can record 4k 30fps without crop, and 1080p 120fps.

This felt a little forced, if I'm being honest. The R6 is about the same price as the A73 at this point and you wouldn't have to switch ecosystems.🤷‍♂️

It's kinda weird the R8 is full frame but sits between two aps-c cameras - the R7 and R10. 😫 Historically the higher the Canon number the lower tier the camera is. It's odd. 🤯

IDK dude. Your rant is fine. The problem is Canon R8 buyers are looking at this saying wtf are you comparing it to camera 2x-4x as expensive.

Thank you so much Chris for the helpful video! God bless you and good luck!

Actually if u factor inflation and what not the eos r mark 2 would cost more then 2500. The r6mk1/2 is the replacement for eos r. Now what you could see is ana a7c of the r6mk2 or something along those lines for slightly cheaper maybe at 2200

Bro Canon shooting themselves in their own foot, we end up buying a Sony FX30 just cuz of 2 reasons 1 4k 60 & 2 you can live stream & record at the same freaking time which No R can do accept for the Canon R, R5 & R5c price range on the next level.

The EOS R is still king of the hill in that price range as long as you don't need unlimited recording. It does have 4k, just cropped. There won't be a mark II for it so just wait for the R6 to drop in price as it sounds like what you really want...

I bought an EOS R6 and it died on the first wedding of Error 70. I sent it back and had it replaced. The replacement did the same out of the box before I even attached a lens or put a card in. Refunded. I bought one Sony A7C and it’s amazing even on 1080-50fps 25MB (it’s lowest quality setting). I bought two more A7C all with the 28-60 kit lens plus a Sony 24-105 f4 G OSS and a Sigma MC-11 adapter for my Canon lenses. Bye bye Canon!

Buy a fuji, they are amazing. I switched from a canon 760D to a Fuji XT3 to an Canon R5 and the Fuji XT3 ist still an amazing performing camera in comparison with the r5, especially when you take price and lens options into account.

The mix race Robin Van Persie 😉

I used to own Lumix s5mi and Canon RP. Lumix was much, much better in low light than the RP. Now i'm thinking of gettnig Sony A7IV. I suspect that Canon R8 is still not on that same level as Sony. However, I did enjoy using the RP, it felt great in hand and I know that the R8 is much lighter than the Sony

Just buy a second R5 body and be happy. why have two different bodies.

Nice video thanks for sharing but I keep hearing rumors of a 24 megapixel sensor and not 30 and possibly no EVF, what you think is no EVF a deal breaker for you?

which watch are you wearing?

The R8 turned out as a much better camera than leaked. Destroyed the RP video wise and is great for everyone who loved that form factor. I'd love to see a second SD slot for the R8 Mark II, but maybe i'm just dreaming. Or 4K / 60 for the R50 Mark II

I bought a refurb R to go with my R3 Black Friday. I want an R with 2 cards, IBIS, no crop. That would be perfect for me

I now own the R8 and will ask the shop if I can return it. How the Canon sensor handles light is still horrible. YOu still pay 2000 bucks for a basic lens edition, and see no real benefit of full frame sensor. I would go for Sony and even Nikon. They say they improved the dynamic range, so its the software then but 4096 focus points cannot do a good metering. A lot of darks to fix and believe me there is enough noise to make it unfixable. I was really disappointed investing in it after so many comments, unless you take all shots RAW and spend a reasonable time in front of your computer its a no go.

why not the canon R5C?

Why you had mic in the frame... ?

The problem with Canon is that they make their own sensors, which are consistently inferior to Sony sensors according to DxO Mark scores. b

Obviously it won't be an "R Mark II". First because it won't fit in the naming scheme and the original R was around $2300, making it too close in price to the R6.

With the release of r8 with the same sensor as R6mkii and the r5 being 45mp, canon has run out of namespace for a true 5dmkiv replacement. A 30 mp camera that shoots 4k60, has DR toe to toe with a7iv. For photography I want to go with the R6mkii but it feels like a compromise given what Sony offers at the same price. Just for photography, if you open a a7iv file, you'll know what I'm talking about. That said I still think R6mkii and r5 are some of the best canons out there for most people, but canon is not keeping up with the competition.

S5II is the answer

Switch to Pentax and do 4K Time-lapses for clicks. 🤞

He's saying so many cameras names it feels like he speaking another language. I came here for the r8, is it better than the eos r and a7iii?

Even a cheap R10 has a joystick and this one does not! This is unacceptable , there is room for it. I use viewfinder 95% of the time for stills, so no joystick no buy. For stills and $100 less, the R is a much better buy. Those who shoot animals and sports will get an R7 anyway.

I am in a complete opposite boat. I have an SL1 for seven years. I want to upgrade. I mostly do street photography and some nature photography on a recreational basis and not for profit. I don't think the R10 will give me the head room I want to keep the camera for another 7 years. So I was looking at the R7 as nice prosumer category. But now they drop the R8. This has left me confused. Other than price I am not sure if the R8 will meet my needs and and still concerned about rolling shutter issues that the R7 has and I am sure the R8 will have,

Fuji xt4 is the best bro… tbh… the most WELL ROUNDED CAMERA EVER. on top of it with a fringer adapter you can adapt your canon glass to it and get killer performance as well…

Canon R8 is better than Sony A7 III and A7 IV, in opinion of photoblogger Olegasphoto. He made reviews and researches in Russian (I hope you can use autotranslate in RU-vid correctly), but it very infor Canon R8 по своим характеристикам обходит как A7 III, так и A7 IV, об этом подробнее в разборах от блогера Olegasphoto.

Personally I think the R8 is good cos it doesn't cost 6 grand like the R6

I like the sound of the R8 personally. If it's a good price, like less than the R7, I'd defo consider it

Great video. How certain are you that the R8 will get a full frame sensor? Whilst I agree this makes sense, a lot of other people, including Canon rumours, are saying that it’s going to be an APSC sensor.

I like you have/ had the r6, the r6 is a really good camera, but the r6 mkii is next level. It has no record limit no overheating false color etc. If you can swing it I highly recommend the r6 mkii. I think you would like it and pairing it with the r5 it would be a excellent combo.

R8 great camera

I look really tired and I was haha! Do you agree??

R7 with a speed booster. I want Clog 2 though to match the c70 better. 😢

Looks like the R8 is the deal for you.

R8 next level from eos R.

Hi from Como 👍

Go for fuji

Good luck on finding a Canon camera with an S-Log3 pp 😂

Save your money you work for Canon as an independent contractor. 😅

S5ii + EF

You're ranting on something you don't even have yet? Glad i caught on that before I wasted my time

Nothing?

lol. how about now? 😂

Sorry what?

The problem is not Canon body's, its missing third party RF glass...I would not recommend Canon to anyone right now.

I doubt u can afford it
