Canon has two new mirrorless RF cameras in India: the full-frame EOS R8 and the compact APS-C EOS R50. Check out all the details here.
Canon has expanded its lineup of mirrorless cameras with the introduction of two new models: the full-frame EOS R8 and the compact, lightweight entry-level EOS R50. The EOS R8 has features from both the EOS R6 Mark II and EOS RP – including Canon Log 3 and 40fps shooting, while the EOS R50 has an APS-C sensor and replaces the EOS M50 Mark II.
Canon EOS R8 Specifications and Features
Canon claims that the EOS R8 is their lightest full-frame mirrorless camera. It features a 24.2-megapixel CMOS sensor with Movie Digital IS, which provides tilt correction and image stabilization for steady handheld footage, and can record in cropless oversampled 4K at up to 60p and Full HD at up to 180p – dramatic slow-motion allows for. footage. Additionally, the camera offers two options for recording 10-bit 4:2:2 High Dynamic Range video – HDR PQ and Canon LOG 3.
Additionally, the EOS R8 supports UVC and UAC support – making it ideal for live streaming.
Canon EOS R50 Specifications and Features
The Canon EOS R50 camera also gets a 24.2-megapixel sensor but in APS-C format. It is the first EOS-series APS-C mirrorless camera to shoot 6K oversampled uncropped 4K video. As for the supported frame rates, the EOS R50 can shoot at up to 119.88 fps at Full HD and 29.97 fps at 4K. Designed for vlogging, the EOS R50 is built to be as light as possible—weighing in at 375 grams.
In addition, Canon’s popular Dual Pixel CMOS AF II makes it easy to track people, animals and vehicles – switching focus to the subject closest to the camera. The camera comes with two different Movie IS levels for 5-axis camera shake correction and an Auto Level mode that automatically corrects horizontal tilt, ensuring footage remains stable.
