A person on Reddit has posted a bunch of images of the Canon EOS R8 Mark II that are the real deal. They don’t look like Canon official images and more from a certification agency like the FCC.
The immediate reactions to yesterdays mockup image of the EOS R8 Mark II have been mixed. People see a lot of Sony in the design and that isn’t a good thing in the eyes of Canon shooters. While it does have a similar aesthestic.
I personally have never been a fan of the joystick placed near the viewfinder like the EOS R7, but I’ll reserve judgement until I get my hands on the camera.
I’m glad I had an R3 which lead me to buying a bunch of micro-HDMI cords, they might get some use again! No, I’m not over the moon about that.
These images are 100% real.
