The R8 is a great-value full-frame body, but it is late in its cycle: an R8 Mark II is rumored for late 2026. Nothing is confirmed, but a replacement would pressure its price.
What to do now: Fine to buy now if you want cheap full-frame and don't need IBIS. If you can wait, watch for R8 Mark II news; also compare the Sony A7C II and Nikon Z5 II.
