Canon’s latest full-frame mirrorless body, the EOS R8, tips the scales at a mere 461g, making it the lightest in its class. Additionally, it stands out as one of the most budget-friendly options available for full-frame cameras. Inside the compact frame of the entry-level camera body lies a powerful full-frame sensor accompanied by an advanced autofocus system, offering a cutting-edge photography experience.

With affordability, portability, and lightweight design, the Canon RF 100-400 lens not only excels in these aspects but also delivers remarkably sharp results, ensuring impressive image quality. In low-light conditions, it is important to note that the Canon RF 100-400 lens has an f/8 aperture at its maximum focal length of 400mm. Consequently, capturing images in such situations may require the use of higher ISO values to compensate for reduced light.

The combined weight of Canon R8 and Canon RF 100-400mm lens is just over 1kg and priced around 2 Lakh Indian Rupees.
