Canon EOS 5DS
Needs the best lenses and precision technique
Noise creeps into files from 400 ISO

No hybrid AF
Non-articulated screen

In depth
Limited to ISO 12800. Optical low-pass filter detracts from detail. Omits in-camera Wi-Fi and GPS. Lacks built-in flash
Very expensive

Low light performance limited compared to peers
ISO cap of 12
800 (6400 for Auto ISO) feels arbitrary and limiting
