Canon adds stabilization to lighter EOS R8 successor
Canon announced the EOS R8 Mark II, a second-generation full-frame camera with in-body image stabilization and a retro-inspired redesign. The Verge describes it as Canon's lightest full-frame model with stabilization, addressing a notable omission from the original 2023 R8, while Engadget says its styling borrows from a classic SLR film camera.
Why it matters
Adding stabilization to a compact full-frame body strengthens Canon's pitch to photographers who want portability without sacrificing a key feature.
