I Didn’t Need an Upgrade. I Needed Less. (Canon R8)

In this video, I share my personal journey from the Canon M50 to the Canon R5C—and finally to the Canon R8. If you’re a photographer or videographer feeling weighed down by bulky gear, or wondering if the Canon R8 is the right fit for everyday use, this video is for you.

I break down how the Canon R8 compares to the Canon M50 and R5C in terms of size, color profiles, 4K video quality, autofocus, battery life, and vlogging functionality. Whether you’re upgrading from a beginner camera or downsizing from a professional rig, this hands-on review is all about finding creative freedom.
