The image files this camera produces are just stunning. Unbelievable detail with good L lenses. Since I have the 5D Mk III also (and have had the Mk II and Mk I), the ergonomics are essentially unchanged.

Canon has long lagged behind Nikon in the race to create SLRs with higher and higher megapixel counts, with Nikon owning the crown since the 2012 release of the 36-megapixel D800 . But Canon retakes the lead with its new EOS 5DS R ($3,899.99, body only) and 5DS .

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...

Canon has long lagged behind Nikon in the race to create SLRs with higher and higher megapixel counts, with Nikon owning the crown since the 2012 release of the 36-megapixel D800 . But Canon retakes the lead with its new EOS 5DS R ($3,899.99, body only) and 5DS ($2,699.00 at Amazon) . Both cameras share the same 50.6-megapixel full-frame image sensor, with the EOS 5DS R enjoying a slight edge in resolution thanks to an additional filter that offsets the effect of its optical low pass filter (OLPF). Longtime Canon users will feel right at home with it, as its body and controls are the same as you'll find in the EOS 5D Mark III, but we're going to stick with the Nikon D810 ($2,499.00 at Amazon) as our Editors' Choice in this class of D-SLR. The D810 doesn't pack as many pixels, but its ISO can be pushed higher and it's a good deal less expensive.

The Canon EOS 5DS R offers the most resolution you'll find in a full-frame SLR, but its high ISO capabilities are limited.

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.

Camera still in testing phase..... preparing to print a 17" x 32" enlargement to evaluate Canon's "medium format quality" statement. Will update when I have more information.

Great motorized mirror retraction system......tests indicated 1/2 sec; delay eliminated all mirror bounce/vibration. Camera works great....once I get used to all the control button locations....(after owning a 5D for 8 years !

Have not gotton thru the 521 page manual...; been relying on the abbreviated manual

The 5Ds vs. 5Ds R decision is not an all or nothing one in regards to moiré. It is a more or less decision and the same regarding image sharpness. If you are shooting images of subjects that are likely to induce the moiré pattern and do not have time to work on mitigation in the field (such as when...

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

Love the 51 megapixel resolution, but you can only push the ISO to 3200. Picked up the 5DSR yesterday, and shot a few mid-low light shots indoors. Great pictures, but you're going to be reaching for your tripod a little more often because of the ISO.

Easy to use; Build quality
