Canon EOS R8 Mark II + RF 24-105 F4-7.1 IS STM

Canon EOS R8 Mark II + RF 24-105mm F4-7.1 IS STM is a versatile full-frame mirrorless camera kit designed for photography and video creation. The EOS R8 Mark II features a 24.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor, DIGIC X processor, advanced Dual Pixel CMOS AF II autofocus and 5-axis In-Body Image Stabilization. It can shoot at up to 40 fps using the electronic shutter and records oversampled 4K video at up to 60p as well as Full HD at up to 180p. The included Canon RF 24-105mm F4-7.1 IS STM is a compact and versatile standard zoom lens. Its 24mm wide-angle setting is ideal for landscapes, architecture, interiors and travel, while the 105mm telephoto end is useful for portraits, details and more distant subjects. The lens features optical image stabilization and a smooth, quiet STM focusing motor.

 

 

Who is it for?

 

This kit is ideal for photographers moving into a full-frame system and looking for one versatile lens to cover a wide variety of subjects. The 24–105mm zoom range makes it suitable for travel, landscapes, street photography, family photography, events, portraits and everyday shooting.

It is also a strong option for hybrid content creators. Fast autofocus, in-body stabilization, optical lens stabilization and 4K 60p recording provide a flexible combination for both stills and video.

Comparison with alternatives

 

Compared with the EOS R8 Mark II BODY, this kit includes a versatile standard zoom lens and is ready to use without purchasing a separate lens.

Compared with the RF 24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM kit, the 24-105mm lens offers a considerably longer zoom range, making it more useful for portraits, events and distant subjects.

The RF 24-105mm F4 L IS USM is an alternative for photographers who require a constant F4 aperture and a more professional L-series design, while the RF 24-105mm F4-7.1 IS STM weighs only around 395 g and is designed to keep the overall kit compact and portable.
