The Canon EOS R5 Mark II, the company’s full-frame mirrorless camera that was introduced in July this year, has officially landed in Malaysia today. It is now available to order in the local market on its own, or together with the brand’s RF24-105mm f/4L IS USM kit lens.
To recap, the new EOS R5 Mark II features a new 45-megapixel back-illuminated stacked full-frame sensor, paired with the powerful DIGIC X processor, which is promised to deliver faster readout speeds and reduced rolling shutter effects. The inclusion of AI-driven technology further enhances its capabilities, offering upscaling up to 179MP for JPEGs, denoising, and improved autofocus accuracy.
The camera is capable of shooting up to 30 frames per second with full-resolution RAW images using its electronic shutter, while its autofocus system features the same Eye Control AF mode as the flagship EOS R1. These are complemented by a 5.76-million-dot electronic viewfinder and a 3.2-inch tilt/swivel LCD touchscreen with approximately 2.1 million dots resolution.
Video-wise, the EOS R5 Mark II supports DCI 8K/30p video, RAW and HDR recording, and 4K/60p. It also includes a waveform display and tally lamp, a full-size HDMI port for external recording and output, as well as independent mic and headphone jacks. Besides that, the camera uses Canon’s LP-E6P battery for improved battery life compared to its predecessor.
In Malaysia, the EOS R5 Mark II is priced at RM18,999 for body only. Alternatively, pricing goes up to RM24,199 if you wish to pair it together with the kit lens that was mentioned earlier. Those interested can purchase the camera now via Canon’s official website, as well as its authorised distributors across Malaysia.
