Great value photo camera

has the same sensor as the r6 mark ii, basically takes the same level photos of it to. Amazing photo camera, perfect in every way for photos. However if you are looking to do hybrid shooting with photo and video you should probably go for something like an r6 mark ii, the overheating and battery issues on the r8 are quite rough. That being said if photography is the primary purpose this camera is perfect.

Just like new. Other than packaging, I can't tell that it wasn't a brand new camera. The R8 camera is very capable, and is easy to use.

Great Value. Perfect for travel.

I bought this camera refurbished a few months ago in order to get back into photography, and to have a lightweight compact full frame mirrorless camera with a viewfinder that is perfect for travel. I finally found it. The camera looked brand new when it arrived, which was nice. I used to own the Canon RP many years ago, so this camera was definitely familiar in how it felt in my hand. Where this camera excels however is that the sensor performs way better, especially for high dynamic range and low light shooting. This camera also has much faster autofocus in tricky lighting situations and the ability to do more things that involve computational photography, like stitching panoramas in camera. The camera body has the same compromises as the RP model, but for this price point, good luck finding a better value for the money. I've already taken thousands of photos with it and it's run flawlessly. Overall, I would highly recommend.

This is a huge step up from the 50d I used before. Lighter, more features, what's not to love? I've only used this for about 1,500 photos on a vacation. Easy to use, awesome photos.

The best camera you can get for its price point

An absolute beast of a camera, everything you need as an amateur photographer/videographer plus way more. This is %90 the same exact camera as the 6 Mk II but at a way more affordable price. It’s smaller batteries and only one sd card might be a handicap, but only if you’re shooting often and for hours and hours on end. But honestly get more batteries if it’s really a problem

Body is very plasticy, but overall solid. The LCD hinge and lock seems to lack a snappiness to it that other Canon bodies have. No real complaints, but would have liked a better F&F

After using the RP for 80,000 shots, I upgraded to the R8 which improved most of the complaints I had with the RP without making the camera heavier. Accepting the same accessories is a plus but, I admit, the battery could be better.
