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 canon eos r6 is better overall than the canon eos r, though both are great full-frame mirrorless models compatible with the same lenses. Still, the r6 has a newer sensor and processor and an improved autofocus system that performs more reliably overall.
