Updated Looking for a full-frame camera that's compact, lightweight, and still packs serious muscle? The Canon EOS R8 could be the answer, and earlier this week we noticed Amazon had R8 to just £1,216 – which is £373 cheaper that it had it before, and even cheaper than at other stores. Sadly, it looks like Amazon UK has run out of stock of the R8 - but the good news is that John Lewis is now matching the £1,216 body-oncly price. And unlike other Canon offers we have seen, this is the price you actually pay - there is no cashback shenanigans to deal with.
I've been using the EOS R system since day one, and this is one of the most amazing RF bodies that Canon has yet released. I couldn't quite believe it until I used it: the Canon EOS R8 is the same size as the super-svelte Canon EOS RP but weighs even less – and packs even more firepower.
The fact that it shoots at 40fps is absolutely mindblowing – that's faster than the flagship Canon EOS R3! It also captures 4K video up to 60p (oversampled from 6K), has a crazy-high ISO of 102,400 (expandable to 204,800), has microphone and headphone jacks, Canon's clever new Multi-Function Shoe that communicates with and powers accessories… it's just a brilliant all-rounder. And at this price, it's even more brilliant!
