EOS R Mark Ii Camera Body

The Canon EOS R8 Mark II is a compact full-frame mirrorless camera with a 24.2MP sensor, up to 7.5-stop stabilisation, 40fps shooting and oversampled 4K/60p video, built for hybrid creators who want serious results from a small body.

Full-frame image qualityThe larger sensor allows for shallower depth of field, while an ISO range of 100 to 102,400 gives flexibility as light fades, useful for portraits, travel and everyday content. Sensitivity can be expanded to ISO 50 and 204,800 at either end, with DIGIC X processing supporting image quality and performance throughout.

Advanced in-body stabilisationFor anyone upgrading from the original R8, 5-axis sensor-shift stabilisation now works in the body itself rather than depending solely on lenses with optical IS. This is very useful for slower shutter speeds and steadier handheld video in low light.

Correction reaches up to 7.5 stops at the centre of the frame and 7.0 stops towards the edges, and compatible stabilised RF lenses coordinate optical IS with IBIS for even greater effect.

Ultra-fast shooting40fps keeps pace with pets, wildlife, sport or anyone on the move. Pre-continuous shooting adds a safety net, capturing up to 20 frames from the half-second before the shutter is fully pressed, while the buffer sustains approximately 190 JPEG or 73 RAW images with the electronic shutter for longer bursts.


Intelligent autofocusDual Pixel CMOS AF II and deep-learning subject detection track automatically, leaving you free to concentrate on timing and composition. AF coverage extends to virtually 100% of the frame horizontally and vertically, with recognition for people, dogs, cats, birds, horses, racing cars, motorbikes, aircraft and trains. Focusing sensitivity reaches as low as -7.5 EV for very dim conditions, and subject switching sensitivity lets you tune how readily tracking moves between subjects. The dedicated AF Multi-controller offers a quick way to position the AF point manually.

Advanced video features4K/60p is oversampled from 6K for detailed footage with smoother motion rendering, and Full HD extends to 180p for slow motion. Canon Log 3 adds grading flexibility, with up to 10-bit 4:2:2 recording and XF-HEVC S and XF-AVC S formats for hybrid workflows. Focus-breathing correction is available with compatible lenses to help maintain consistent framing during focus transitions, and Register People Priority along with dedicated movie functions givefurther control when people are the subject.

Creative colourIn-camera creative controls shape the look of stills and video before you open an editor, with 16 colour filters and adjustable intensity from 0 to 100% in 10% increments. NegativeFilmtone and PositiveFilmtone extend the range, from softer, lower-contrast looks to stronger saturation and contrast, giving plenty of scope for a distinctive style straight from the camera.

Intuitive handlingA larger, deeper grip gives a more substantial hold despite the small body, and the SD card now has its own side-access compartment separate from the battery, making cards easier to swap, especially on a tripod. A 2.36-million-dot OLED viewfinder offers refresh rates up to 120fps, while the 3-inch 1.62-million-dot vari-angle touchscreen makes it easy to compose from high, low and front-facing angles. At approximately 499g body only, it remains remarkably portable for a full-frame model.


Sharing and connectivityBuilt-in 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.3 connect easily to a smartphone through Camera Connect, for image transfer or Canon’s image.canon cloud service. USB-C adds direct computer connectivity and charging, plus UVC/UAC support for video calls and livestreaming at up to 4K/60p, a simple way to use the camera for high-quality live content without a separate capture device.
