The Canon EOS M mount was Canon’s first dabble into the mirrorless camera market in 2012. After multiple mirrorless M cameras (all APS-C sensored), Canon evolved into the R mount in 2018 and 6 years later, We have the new EOS R8. The camera features a 3-inch LCD touchscreen that can be tilted for better viewing angles. It also has built-in WiFi and NFC capabilities, which allow for easy sharing of images and videos to other devices via the Canon Connect app.
