Description
Canon’s EOS R8 Mark II, announced in September 2026, fixes the biggest gap of the original R8 by adding in-body image stabilisation. It keeps a 24.2 MP full-frame sensor and a compact body, while moving to 40 fps electronic bursts with pre-shooting, oversampled 4K 60p from 6K and a refreshed, more retro-styled design.

The R8 Mark II is a natural first full-frame camera for hobbyists, travellers and new content creators, and a light second body for Canon shooters. The small LP-E17 battery means frequent shooters should budget for spares.
What to check before you buy
- Body-only and the RF 24-50mm kit are both common; check which is listed.
- Make sure the title says Mark II, as the original R8 lacks stabilisation and is still sold.
- Grey-import bodies are often sold without a US or Canadian manufacturer warranty, so ask the seller which warranty region applies.
- Read our guide to buying on eBay from Canada if you are ordering from a US seller.
