Which is better, R7 or R8?
Our verdict. The canon eos r7 and the canon eos r8 are both great cameras, but they’re aimed at different users. The r7 is a higher-end aps-c camera that’s better suited to sports and action photography. It’s sturdier, has a mechanical shutter, and has a longer battery life. The r10 will offer a bit more value for its price for most people, with faster burst shooting, better battery life, and very respectable video features. On the other hand, if you need full-frame image quality in a portable camera body, the r8 is the way to go.
