Canon has introduced the EOS R8 Mark II to the Indian market, setting the standalone body price at ₹1,78,995. The successor to the original EOS R8 brings flagship-grade features—such as 5-axis in-body image stabilisation (IBIS), a dedicated autofocus joystick, and high-speed continuous shooting—into Canon’s most compact full-frame body with sensor-shift stabilisation to date. Weighing roughly 546 grams (including card and battery) and measuring 131.4 x 90.0 x 79.7 mm, the camera pairs portable ergonomics with updated chassis lines while retaining Canon’s signature viewfinder profile. Key Technical Specifications Imaging & Speed: Powered by a 24.2-megapixel full-frame sensor and the DIGIC X image processor, the camera reaches burst speeds of up to 40 fps via the electronic shutter. It also features a Pre-Continuous Shooting buffer. Native ISO spans 100 to 102,400 (expandable to 204,800). Stabilisation: The onboard 5-axis IBIS pairs with optical-IS-equipped RF lenses via Coordinated Control IS to deliver up to 7.5 stops of shake reduction centrally and 7 stops near the edges. Autofocus Upgrades: Driven by Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, the tracking system introduces a “Register People Priority” tool that locks onto preselected faces in busy environments like weddings and sports venues. A physical rear joystick now handles manual AF point selection. Video Capabilities: Records 6K-oversampled 4K video up to 60p, alongside Full HD slow motion at up to 180p. The camera incorporates Canon Log 3, Cinema EOS Custom Picture profiles, and custom LUT importing. Non-high-frame-rate recording limits extend up to roughly six hours per take. Connectivity & Storage: Equipped with a single UHS-II SD card slot, 3.5 mm microphone input, micro-HDMI port, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.3. Power is supplied by an LP-E17 battery supporting USB in-camera charging. Creative Tools: Introduces 16 built-in color profiles, including new NegativeFilmtone and PositiveFilmtone looks, along with the first Creative AUTO implementation on a full-frame EOS body.
