Canon's EOS R8 line now has a Mark II successor, and the new body is the company's lightest full-frame camera. The update keeps the original EOS R8's compact, relatively affordable approach while adding a broader stills-and-video feature set.
The biggest addition is a five-axis IBIS system, which delivers up to 7.5 stops of correction in the center of the frame and up to 7 stops at the edges when paired with compatible lenses. Canon says the stabilization can also work together with lens optical stabilization, which should make the camera more versatile in everyday use. -
