Pros: Full-Frame Sensor with IBIS Its inherited AF from the higher tier R3 but somehow has a higher burst rate at 40 FPS vs 30 FPS on the R3 Has excellent good video and photo capability which suits your needs of being a hybrid camera Has Clog3 for extra dynamic range if you want to get more control for video Has 6k RAW recording capabilities when recording to an external recorder Cons: Because of the higher burst rate, it is only 24 MP, but for the most part this is plenty for most people RF mount is still limited and you are inlinced to get pricier native RF options to get the most out of your camera (inherent in the RF ecosystem actually) Can be larger/heavier for some but this can be a pro if you like wide grips Non-full sized HDMI port is prone to damage, assuming you are using an external recorder The R8 exists, inheriting all the benefits but in a smaller body and lacking IBIS and some other features More on reddit.com
