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
Continue
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
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

Abstract: Preview based on pre-production Canon EOS 5D S & SRCanon has added to its EOS 5D range with the launch of two 50MP cameras, the 5DS and the 5DS R. Both cameras are high-resolution full frame models, primarily aimed at stills photographers. The only differ...
Abstract: The Canon 5DS also shares the enhanced iTR AF (aka "Intelligent Tracking & Recognition AF") from the 7D Mark II, and is something not featured on the 5D3. Unlike the 7D Mark II, however, the 5DS uses the same 61-point AF point array as the 5D Mark III and...
Abstract: A camera where every shot can be a wall poster. It sounds like overkill central, but that's exactly what Canon is offering with its EOS 5DS and 5DSR cameras. Both are now available in Australia and boast a 50.6-megapixel sensor. That's more than 50 millio...
The 5DS and 5DS R are not replacement models, but two parts of a new high-resolution line. Based on the design of the highly successful 5D MkIII and incorporating a few of the 7D MkII's advancements, the 5DS is a more specialist camera than both, aimed sp...
Abstract: Like many Canon owners, when rumours of a new 5D began to circulate I was rubbing my hands together with excitement for the long-awaited EOS 5D Mark IV. My wish list would include superb autofocus and a full-frame sensor with great detail and high ISO per...
Abstract: The Canon EOS 5DS and 5DS R are the highest resolution full frame DSLRs on the market. The two models give photographers a choice: the EOS 5DS includes an optical low-pass filter to suppress digital imaging artefacts, while the EOS 5DS R cancels its effec...

It's another fantastic pro-grade camera, but video shooters need not apply. All in all, the Canon EOS 5DS is a pro-grade camera that lives up to Canon's esteemed reputation, but only in the right situation. If you're a portrait, landscape, or studio p...
