Canon R8 Mark II vs R6 Mark II vs R8: Which Camera Should You Buy?

What did you think?

Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

1:06The R8 Mark II adds a boxier design and joystick; the R6 Mark II offers a heavier body.
5:24Polin favors the R6 Mark II's larger battery over the smaller battery retained by the R8 Mark II.
17:39The R6 Mark II has two SD card slots; both R8 models have one.
22:20The R8 Mark II adds in-body stabilization, slow-motion audio recording and an updated video menu.
26:52Polin frames the purchase around budget, stabilization, ergonomics and future needs rather than image quality alone.

A new body design gets your attention, but a bigger battery and a second card slot can make the stronger argument. That's the practical thread running through Jared Polin's most-watched upload of the week, "Canon R8 Mark II vs R6 Mark II vs R8: Which Camera Should You Buy?"

Polin works through handling, shutters, autofocus and video features rather than treating the newest model as the automatic purchase. The R8 Mark II adds in-body stabilization and a joystick, while he gives the R6 Mark II credit for its larger battery and redundant storage. His attitude to appearances is brisk: "Who cares what the camera looks like, as long as it functions and feels good in your hands." The comparison includes a paid DJI gimbal segment.

The video has drawn about 54,000 views, the largest audience among his three new uploads. In the comments, battery capacity and dual card slots keep coming up, alongside owners explaining why they're keeping their existing cameras. One viewer describes watching as though shopping while an R8 sits right on the table.

Elsewhere, Polin presented a signed-print mystery-tube sale, while RAWtalk paired camera rumors with a conversation with war photographer Ziv Koren about his book, The October 7 WAR.

Channel-wide daily views are running above their usual level, although subscribers were unchanged across the week. Minibricks also had a notably busier viewing day in the wider arts-and-making group. For Polin, the Canon comparison is currently doing the most daily viewing work; his earlier Sony cinema-sensor news roundup and month-old Sony buying comparison remain active behind it.

I don’t have to think twice: a larger battery and two card slots beat everything else.

Can't believe the R8 holds the price is not far off from when I bought it years ago. Still using the R8, for my A-Rolls. Lovely camera.

When I first saw the R8 Mark II I didn’t like the design but I eventually came around and now I love the new look. I bought one and absolutely love it.
