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 .

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 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.
