Canon EOS R8 vs R6 Mark II
Same 24.2MP sensor, two very different cameras — in 60 seconds.
Choose the EOS R8 if…
You want the lightest, most affordable way into Canon full-frame — the same 24.2MP sensor, autofocus and 4K as the R6 Mark II, in a compact body for travel and everyday.
Choose the R6 Mark II if…
You want the serious all-rounder — in-body stabilisation, dual card slots, faster mechanical bursts and longer battery for events, weddings and pro work.
