The Canon EOS R8 and EOS R50 have just been announced. But for who and what kinds of workflows?
The rumblings of new updates from Canon have been shaking our foundation for quite some time. While some thought that the C200 Mark II was on the horizon, we received two new mirrorless bodies instead.
The Canon EOS R8 and Canon EOS R50 both tackle different-sized sensors in two vastly different ways at a price we can all be excited about.
The Canon EOS R8
The new full-frame camera in the Canon R line shares many similarities with the R6 Mark II. The EOS R8 has the same 24.2 MP sensor and DIGIC X processor, as well as the same Dual Pixel AF and AI-based subject recognition. What makes it a standout in comparison is the new compact design and price point of $1,499 for the body only.

But that slash in cost and size comes with a few sacrifices.
Firstly, the EOS R8 has no mechanical shutter and in-body image stabilization, or IBIS. This means creatives will have to keep a steady hand or rely on sense with image stabilization built-in.
