Canon Unveils EOS R8 Mark II: Lightest Full-Frame Camera With In-Body Stabilization
Canon has announced the second-generation EOS R8 camera, now named the EOS R8 Mark II. The new model features a retro-inspired design and includes in-body stabilization for improved image quality during handheld shooting. Weighing 1.2 pounds, it is slightly heavier than its predecessor but lighter than Canon’s more advanced EOS R6 Mark III. The EOS R8 Mark II will be available starting late October at $1,899 body-only or $2,099 with a stabilized lens. It shares the same 24.2-megapixel sensor as the older R8 and offers up to 7.5 stops of stabilization when paired with compatible lenses. The camera also includes Canon’s improved Dual Pixel CMOS AF II autofocus system for better subject tracking. Designed for amateur photographers, it supports video recording at 4K/60fps or 1080p/180fps and features creative tools like color filters and bracketing. A new Windows app called Dual Pixel 3D Converter will also be released to generate 3D images from standard photos.
