Nice camera.

Every bit as good as expected. I also upgraded to the latest Canon 100-400 zoom, and the 16-35mm zoom with IS, and the image quality of these combos is staggering. My main uses are landscape and wildlife, and although I was getting excellent results from the 5D Mk 2, previous 100-400 and 17-40mm...

Bright LCD; Comfortable Controls; Easy To Use; Great Image Quality; Strong Construction

The Canon 5DS R, the highest-resolution EOS body to date, is an all-around striking camera that captures some seriously impressive, incredibly detailed photographs. The higher resolution sensor does make shooting technique more crucial though, and the video features and ISO range are limited...

Phenomenal resolution and sharpness; Fine Detail Picture Style is like in-camera Unsharp Mask; Excellent print quality; Decent high ISO performance; Improved normalized dynamic range compared to 5D Mark III; Decent burst speed with good buffer depths; Built-in intervalometer & timelapse movie mode

AF speed tested closer to consumer-level DSLRs; Dynamic range lower than competing models from Nikon & Sony; Lack of OLPF means subject to more aliasing artifacts with some subjects; No 60p video frame rate; No headphone jack; Timelapse video is only 1080p

In the early 2000s, Canon's EOS-1Ds series was unchallenged in the high-resolution DSLR stakes, from the original 11.1MP version of 2002 to the 21.1MP Mark III of 2007. But in 2008 Canon lost the crown to the 24.6MP Sony Alpha 900, and has lagged behind ever since.

+ Extraordinary image quality with huge levels of detail; + Highly refined control layout and user interface; + Excellent; extremely accurate autofocus system; + Rugged; professional-level construction

Fixed rear screen is inconvenient for tripod work; Relatively limited ISO range; Huge file sizes

Good and fast service

Fabulous precision in landscapes as well as birds coupled with my 100-400mm lens with 2x extender. Details in the pictures are extraordinary.

We take a closer look at the highest resolution full-frame DSLR to date in our Canon EOS 5DS R review

Super-high resolution; Robust, weather-sealed body; Excellent autofocus

Relatively limited ISO range; Enormous, difficult to handle raw files; Fixed LCD screen

The Canon EOS 5DS R is a 35mm full-frame digital SLR camera with a 50.6 megapixel sensor, the highest number of megapixels ever seen in a full frame sensor, and and a low-pass cancellation filter that maximises the sharpness of the camera's sensor (the only difference between the 5DS R and the...

The Canon 5DS R may seem like the natural successor to the ageing Canon 5D Mark III . But it's not. This is an ultra-high-resolution 50.6-megapixel full-frame DSLR designed for times when maximum resolution is what's needed, above all else.

Incredible detail; Great build and handling; Excellent AF performance

Limited video modes; Narrow native ISO range; Very limited wireless features

Announced by Canon on 6 February 2015, the EOS 5DS R is one of two DSLR cameras with 50-megapixel, 'full-frame' sensors that are targeted at professional photographers and serious enthusiasts.
