Canon’s Retro Camera is Coming as the EOS R8 Mark II
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
That’s absolutely untrue. Both the Nikon Z 24-50mm and Sony FE 28-60mm are better than the Canon RF 24-50mm, and both are quite good. I have owned and used all three enough to form a grounded opinion on them. Canon’s RF 15-30mm is also compact and inexpensive, but it’s a very nice lens, unlike its standard sibling, and their RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 is the smallest and lightest lens of its class, while being pretty decent optically (and I so wish that Canon had kept it as the kit lens for the R8).

It's R6 V, not 8.
Aside from the retro look R8 II, what realistic upgrades would it have over the original without being too close to the R6 III? The R6 III sensor, maybe IBIS, higher res LCD and EVF, updated AF algorithm, a joystick would be nice since the R10 has one and I don't think that's asking too much. It would also be nice if the 4 way buttons at the back would have a shortcut to AF, Drive, WB, Metering like the entry level DSLRs.

Typical Canon Move hm?! We have a C50 and a R6III… there are some thinks Canon has not implemented now, which other have! Shutter Angle, tilting and flipping screen like Sony and Nikon… damn Canon! I Hope the R7II finally has it!
Not understandable move for me…
A real small full frame cinematic camera would be awesome! With a R3 sensor! (Smaller then the C50, more like a 50V)

Maybe the following generation keeps the 7K resolution, but moves to a stacked sensor for faster readout, but it will take a couple of years.
Makes sense, ZR is essentially Z6III - EVF + passive cooling, bigger LCD and slightly different software for +/- 10% less.
An R8 II will be the entry-level model, so I don't expect much beyond an R8 with newer sensor and features (+ silver as an option).

I'm not a video expert but IBIS in a video camera can make the video bounce around, even if it's not enabled. The preferred method is to use a gimbal or tripod. I prefer a tripod.

Some things the R6 will always have extra over the R8 that in my opinion is enough to separate the two:
- bigger body with different ergonomics.
- 2 card slots
- big wheel on the back
- bigger battery
- better heat management, longer recording times
- weather sealing (i hope the R8 will get it too one day)

I was absolutely excited about the R8 V, now I'm even more excited!
Crying so much for a ff compact, I need to buy one even just for not being a pssy. I really hope the price will be good.
Now I want 28/1.8 or 28/2 non-L, good performing lens to couple with the R6 V. Yes, I know , there's the 28/2.8 pancake is great, I have it, but it's just not enough. I want at least f/2 and a bit better AF.
Then I need something like Sony's 50-150/2 or I could even do with 50-100/2 on R5m2. This 2cam setup would cover event, weddings, street, travel. Optionally I would also take the 100-500 or the coming 300-600.
If there was also a 150/2 macro....
All my dreams in a nutshell.
Although not for myself but I'm also excited about the R8m2. I'm happy for the R8 line in general, I find it important to have a really affordable ff option.
Many ppl are coming for advice, some new into photography, some are trying to upgrade from all kinds of cameras, even 40D.
I don't like to recommend aps-c stuff but the R6 is still pretty expensive and unnecessary for most.

A R6V is WAY more exciting than an R8V.
I would assume you'll lose the top handle/XLRs, timecode port (which would be a mistake), and some active cooling... But HOPEFULLY it has IBIS. I use my R6 III for video more than my C50 strictly because I like to handhold or SAKK hold my non-IS lenses (Zeiss Otus). But I don't love the R6 III for video because of the crappy button layout.
If this camera doesn't have IBIS, I don't really understand the point of its existence...

If the R6 V looks just like on the picture, I think it will omit IBIS (but keep the mechanical shutter that's missing from a ZR, ZV-E1 - or C50 for that matter...)Will that “L” mean a $1200+ price tag? I assume the “R6” moniker will come with a premium as well; I was hoping for a more S9/R8 class body price, hopefully it’s not much more than the ZR at least.
