HIGH IMAGE QUALITY
Full-Frame CMOS Sensor • DIGIC X Image Processor
The EOS R8 houses an approx. 24.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor
and is powered by the advanced DIGIC X image processor
for crisp-sharp, high quality imagery with less noise for both
photos and videos. It supports low light sensitivity at up to
EV -6.5 (Stills) / EV -4.0 (4K Movie), offers up to ISO 102,400
in low-light conditions, as well as Digital Lens Optimizer* to
correct aberrations and diffraction blur.
*For supported lenses.
