Camera Review
Canon EOS 5DS
Needs the best lenses and precision technique
Noise creeps into files from 400 ISO
No Wifi
No 1080 video above 30p
No 4k
No hybrid AF
Non-articulated screen
Focus peaking or zebra patterns

Limited to ISO 12800. Optical low-pass filter detracts from detail. Omits in-camera Wi-Fi and GPS. Lacks built-in flash
Very expensive
Heavy
Even as a portrait shooter
I have no need to have 50MP and very few people really need this
The megapixel war will just continue
Large files due to high resolution
Screen does not tilt or rotate
Dynamic range lags behind the competition
Not for inexperienced photographers
Raw dynamic range limited compared to peers
Base ISO images can be noisier than the best of the competition
Low light performance limited compared to peers
ISO cap of 12
800 (6400 for Auto ISO) feels arbitrary and limiting
