Best Canon Camera I have used
Karl C — 5 out of 5 stars
Currently using: Canon R8, RF 14-35m f4.0L, RF 70-200 F4.0L, EF 50mm 1.4 and Tamron 90mm f2.8 Macro I had been using a Canon 5D mkII since 2009 until I upgraded to a Canon R8 in 2024 (so about 15 years with the 5D mkII). Although this may be considered an "entry-level" full frame, I found it outperforms my 5D mkII in everyway except for battery life (which is fine) and there is not top camera LCD screen. This camera resolves so much more detail I replaced my EF 17-40 F4.0L and EF 70-200 F4.0L (non-IS) with the RF 14-35 F4.0L IS USM and the RF 70-200 F4.0L IS USM (don't bother with non-L series zooms, you are better off with a second hand EF L series zoom that you can adapt). My go to kit is a Canon R8, RF 14-35 F4.0L and the RF 70-200 F4.0L. I also own an EF 50 f1.4 USM and a Tamon 90 F2.8 Macro and the images and auto focus on these lens are much better than on the Canon 5D mkII. I take landscapes, travel photography and indoor sports (make sure you use the anti flicker mode) and the R8 never lets me down. Having owned the Canon 300D, Canon 30D, Canon 50D, Canon 5DmkII, I can confidently recommend a canon Mirrorless.
