Canon has announced the EOS R8 Mark II, a follow-up to its full-frame mirrorless camera that adds in-body image stabilization while retaining the same 24.2-megapixel sensor, according to Newsshooter. The announcement was reported on Wednesday, September 16, 2026.
The addition of in-body stabilization marks a notable change for the R8 line, since the stabilization is built into the camera body rather than relying solely on lens-based systems. Newsshooter's headline confirms the sensor resolution carries over unchanged from the previous model.
Reaction to the camera has come from several outlets. PetaPixel published a review describing the R8 Mark II as "a great camera in a polarizing package," while Canon Rumors shared its own thoughts and reaction to the announcement. Engadget focused on the camera's design, reporting that the R8 II borrowed its styling from a classic SLR film camera.
