Which should you buy?
Full-Frame Entry — EOS R8 (2023): Canon's most affordable full-frame mirrorless — 4K/60p 10-bit and class-leading Dual Pixel AF at an accessible entry price.
Vloggers & Content Creators — Canon PowerShot V10 (2023): A vlog-first compact with a 1-inch sensor, front-facing screen, and Canon's Dual Pixel AF — the simplest way to create clean content on the go.
Creative Filmmakers & Experimental Photographers — Sigma fp (2019): The smallest full-frame camera in the world — Cinema DNG RAW and L-mount flexibility in a pocket-sized body that rewards creative shooters.
