EOS R8
I would like to share my dubious speculations about an upcoming EOS R successor that I would call EOS R8 and how it will be differentiated from the R6 and the original R.
Price: 1799 USD / 1899 EUR
So about 700-800.- less than the official R6 price, but only about 300.- less than the R6 market price by the time the R8 comes out.
Sensor: Worst case they keep the sensor from the EOS R, but I hope for a new one. (DR + ISO measured like DXO)
MP: 30-34 (R6: 20, R: 30)
DR: 14-14,5 (R6: 14.3, R: 13.5)
ISO: 3000 (R6: 3400, R: 2800)
FPS w/ Servo AF: 8 (R6: 20, R: 5)
IBIS: 5 stops (R6: 7 stops, R: none)
AF: Dual Pixel 2 (R6: DP2, R: DP1)
EVF: 2.1 MP (R6: 3.69, R: 3.69)
Card slots: 1 SD (R6: 2 SD, R: 1 SD)
Video: 4K 30 (R6: 4K 60, R: 4K 30)
Body built quality (weather sealing, materials) slightly lower than R6, ergonomics like R6.
I´m not sure about the card slots, if it will get 1 or 2 and the less capable IBIS only makes sense if it would mean a cost advantage otherwise it would get the same IBIS as the R6.
Major advantage R8 over R6: 30-34 MP instead of 20 MP
Major advantage R6 over R8: 20 FPS instead of 8 FPS, (maybe) the second card slot, more video options
Minor advantage R6 over R8: Built quality, slightly better low light performance, better EVF, (maybe) better IBIS
That should be enough differentiation to justify the price difference.
What do you think?
