Canon India launches two mirrorless cameras - EOS R8 and EOS R50: Check complete specification and other details

In a bid to strengthen its presence in the mirrorless camera segment, Canon India has launched two new entry-level cameras in the country - EOS R8 and EOS R50. They are packed with many creative tools and automated features which can help users in creating high-quality vlogs and images with minimal camera operation.

“Our latest offerings are designed to support this new-age passion of creativity with the right kind of technology required to move ahead in the journey. While the youthful EOS R50 is tailor-made for social content creators and photography enthusiasts looking at sharing innovative and mesmerising content, the dynamic EOS R8 is made for wedding professionals and serious amateurs looking at upgrades to the full-frame mirrorless segment. These cameras are packed with features and performance capabilities. Also, they are lightweight and have compact designs," said Manabu Yamazaki, President & CEO, Canon India.

Canon EOS R8

Canon EOS R8 is the company's smallest and lightest EOS Full-frame Mirrorless Camera. It weighs just 461 gm (with battery pack and SD card) and therefore keeps users agile, giving them an edge when it comes to creative camera angles and transitions.

It also has a variety of recording options. The EOS R8’s newly developed 24.2-megapixel CMOS image sensor enables 6K data to be obtained from its entire width, producing high-quality cropless oversampled 4K UHD footage at up to 60p.

Canon EOS R50

The EOS R50’s APS-C format image sensor is three times larger than the 1-inch sensor on the latest smartphones. This means sharper, more detailed images and videos, and less noise (graininess) even in low light. Users can also look forward to beautiful, natural-looking bokeh (shallow focus) effects.

With 24.2 megapixels, the EOS R50 is also capable of producing high-quality Uncrop 4K 30p video oversampled from 6K worth of data. Oversampling means more information to reduce artefacts and other issues, so despite your vlogging experience and skill, the image quality will look pristine and professional.

With ample modes and features that simplify shooting, the EOS R50 is designed for vloggers who want the image quality of a dedicated camera without the learning curve that usually comes with having to operate one.

Lightweight at only about 375gm, it is around the same size as the EOS M50 Mark II.
