PRE-ORDER NOW!

The Canon EOS R8 Mark II Mirrorless Camera is a compact yet highly capable full-frame hybrid camera designed for travel photographers, enthusiasts, content creators and videographers who want outstanding image quality, speed, intelligent autofocus and advanced video capabilities without carrying a large professional body. Building on the EOS R8, the R8 Mark II combines a 24.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor with Canon’s powerful DIGIC X image processor, delivering excellent detail, rich colour, impressive dynamic range and strong low-light performance, while introducing sensor-shift In-Body Image Stabilisation with up to 7.5 stops of stabilisation at the centre when used under Canon’s specified conditions. Its performance extends well beyond travel photography, with an electronic shutter capable of shooting at up to 40fps, an expanded burst capacity of up to 73 RAW images, and Pre-Continuous Shooting that can capture up to 20 frames before the shutter button is fully pressed, making the camera highly capable for wildlife, action, events, street photography and unpredictable everyday moments. Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF II provides sophisticated subject detection and tracking for people, animals and vehicles, including eye, face, head and body detection, while autofocus sensitivity down to EV -7.5 helps maintain focusing performance in extremely dark conditions. For hybrid creators, the EOS R8 Mark II records detailed 4K UHD video up to 60p, with standard full-width 4K generated from 6K oversampling, while Full HD recording reaches up to approximately 180fps for dramatic slow-motion footage; professional creative options include 10-bit 4:2:2 recording, Canon Log 3, HLG, PQ, Custom Picture profiles and 16 adjustable Colour Filters. Despite this extensive feature set, the body weighs only approximately 499g, making it particularly attractive for travel, street photography, hiking, wildlife trips and creators working with lightweight RF lenses.  With a 3.0-inch vari-angle touchscreen, 2.36-million-dot OLED electronic viewfinder, 5GHz/2.4GHz Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.3, USB-C charging and power delivery, microphone and headphone connections, UHS-II SD card support and compatibility with Canon RF and RF-S lenses, the Canon EOS R8 Mark II brings together full-frame image quality, high-speed performance, sophisticated autofocus, stabilisation and serious video tools in an impressively portable EOS R System camera. This kit comes with an extra LP-E17 battery.

Key Features:

• 24.2MP Full-Frame CMOS Sensor – The EOS R8 Mark II uses a 36.0 × 24.0mm full-frame CMOS sensor with approximately 24.2 effective megapixels, providing an excellent balance between resolution, low-light performance, manageable file sizes and fast shooting performance for travel, portraits, landscapes, wildlife and everyday photography.
• DIGIC X Image Processor – Canon’s powerful DIGIC X processor works alongside the full-frame sensor to provide responsive camera operation, sophisticated image processing, advanced autofocus, high-speed burst shooting and demanding video functionality.
• Up to 7.5 Stops of In-Body Image Stabilisation – Unlike the original EOS R8, the EOS R8 Mark II incorporates sensor-shift IBIS, delivering up to 7.5 stops of stabilisation at the centre and 7 stops at the periphery under Canon’s specified CIPA testing conditions with a compatible lens, helping photographers achieve sharper handheld images in low light and smoother results while working on the move.
