The Canon V-8 is a compact MSX1 with 8kB RAM that was built from 1983 to 1985. Like the Canon V-10, the cursor keys are located on the top-right of the casing to keep the keyboard and the computer as compact as possible. The V-8 was only sold in Japan and features a NEC D780C (Z80 clone) or Zilog Z80A.
