Editing notes
The R6 II sensor in a lighter body. Same warm colour rendering, same high-ISO behaviour — recipes built for one transfer to the other essentially unchanged.
Looks that suit these files: Portra-ish 400, Moody matte, cool grade.
The files it writes
The Canon EOS R8 records RAW as .cr3. Same CR3 container as the rest of the R line, so anything that opens an R6 II file opens these — a point worth knowing given how recently the body appeared.
What a .cr3 file actually contains — compression, bit depth, embedded previews and which software reads it.
