Pros: Compact, lightweight, ISO and sensor sealing

Cons: Compact, third bezel

Opinion: I come from 5DmkIII, replaced because it was now worn to the bone. I chose the r8 because I didn't want to deprive myself of the FF but at the same time I didn't want to sell an organ for the older sisters (bought with cashback at a price that you can't complain about for the quality of the object in question). The impact was quite challenging: halving weight and size gave me enormous satisfaction, especially for mountain excursions and travel. At the same time (I bought it a year ago now) I'm still suffering from the body so small, both in freehand stability and in functionality (used to the body of the mkIII which was certainly easier to manage) Beyond this small initial hitch you can't say anything: more than excellent sensor, spectacular ISO holding, Balanced colors, very intuitive software, battery life that I can't complain about for the use I do, excellent quality screen. The absence of the third dial, replaced by the classic orientation buttons, make scrolling photos and some functions slower but I am very satisfied overall with the purchase and the transition to Mirrorless

Pros: Size, weight and value for money

Cons: Battery life and lack of the third ring

Opinion: A very good machine. Especially considering the fact that it is one of the cheapest full-frames. Excellent in weight and size, perfect to be carried around at any time. The battery lasts very little, but you just need to equip yourself with 2-3 spare and you're done The only real flaw is the lack of the third ring that I use a lot.

Pros: Speed, sensor. dimensions

Cons: Aseptic

Opinion: I use it in combination with the various cheap fixed (16-28-35-50). With the 28mm it becomes a light and discreet compact and the image quality remains at the top. If I need more light I place the 35mm. The machine is good in everything and is perfect for its segment. The only negative note is that it remains a bit aseptic, there is nothing to complain about but nothing that you are passionate about in its use. However, what he has to do he does in an excellent way.

Pros: Power, size, sensor, versatility

Cons: Energy-intensive, few keys and dials (compared to its older sisters), it overheats easily, no IBIS

Opinion: Very small camera, combined with the excellent pancake RF 28mm f/2.8 becomes practically a perfect compact to carry around, while maintaining the excellent performance of the sensor. Lightning-fast autofocus and if well set practically foolproof. The files are excellent, workable and the colors are those to which canonists are accustomed. Unfortunately, portability involves some sacrifices, in fact there is no joystick, and the dials are only 2, a problem that can be partially remedied thanks to the control ring of the RF lenses. The memory slot is single, and the battery is the LP-E17 which in my opinion is slightly undersized on such an energy-intensive camera (600-700 shots, with the upper bodies I get over 1000). The small body also leads to worse heat dissipation, in fact the chamber sometimes tends to heat up easily, especially under stress in intense sessions. The viewfinder is obviously small and not top-of-the-range. Despite these compromises, the image quality is excellent, and overall it is a camera that is loved and thanks to the minimal footprint it entices you to always carry it with you.

Pros: Compact, good level of completeness of functionality, versatility and customization. Excellent ISO range, appreciable sensor with the right lens.

Cons: Extremely energy-intensive and picky in the cable - power supply combination for USB charging. Price (applies to all ML in my opinion) exaggerated.

Opinion: Was there a need, Canon, to make another attack? In my humble opinion: no. Very disappointed by the autonomy: 300 shots and possibly without using the display, liveview or pretending to transfer the shots via bluetooth. I had to use it in airplane mode to finish the day. I was used, with the same battery, on the 77D, to take about 400 shots in each mode, even sometimes using the built-in flash and then still having the opportunity to transfer photos wirelessly. Apart from that (which is by no means secondary) and apart from the fact that I found it quite difficult to understand the point of maximum polarization of the light both via display and viewfinder... good but not very good. The biggest advantage is owning a fullframe ML without having to sell a kidney. I still don't understand this mania of changing position to levers, switches and buttons but you get used to it, in the end it is not a defect but a feature.
