Canon R8 video is amazing!

Extremely happy with the video the camera produces. Does the camera overheat? Yes but only in 4k 60 from my experience with it. My workflow allows me to operate it without it shutting down. Most of my shooting is 4k24 and I’ll switch to 4k60 on the shots that I need. If your planning on only shooting 4k60 this camera is not for you. Shooting at only 4k60 you’ll get about 4 to 5 3 min clips before your at the first red overheating bar, once it hits the third red bar it shuts down. Video quality looks great tho. Very happy with the purchase. Was a little skeptical about buying refurbished but it came in excellent condition. No scuffs or scratches.

As a Professional Sports Still Photographer this is my first mirror-less Canon Camera, i am a longtime DSLR Shooter, & CPS Member, and hope to work the R8 into shooting fast moving Sports! For now i have only taken
personnel photos on hikes, it does live up to auto focus and low light metering for low light woods shooting! I do like the size & weight for hiking!

I love the camera, but it overheats.

I love the camera, but it overheats. I cannot do many sessions outside when it’s hot because of this. I’ve done a little research and this seems to be a common problem.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bought this camera for a film project. It's my first "professional" camera (meaning, the first time I spent more than a hundred bucks!). So far, it has performed exceptionally. It is an excellent camera at a great price. I did a ton of research before I bought this camera, about the sort of features and specs I should look for in a camera, and this camera had almost everything I could have asked for. Full frame sensor, 4k UHD, good dynamic range, good bit depth, good chroma sampling. The only thing it doesn't have (that I wanted) was sensor-shift stabilization - it has digital stabilization. The settings menu is a bit overwhelming, but I'm sure I'll get used to it with time and practice. Couldn't be happier. Would definitely recommend to others.

I’m very happy with the flexibility of my refurbished canon R8 camera. Though, I have a lot to learn since I’ve been out of photography for about 20 years. I use it primarily to photograph people - I’m exceedingly happy with the fast, sharp focus and depth of field (now known as bokah 🤷♂️) that I’m getting using my new RF lenses (50mm 1.8 and 24-105mm 4-7.1) as well as old EF lenses (I mostly use the 100-300mm 3.5-6.3).
