Photographers have been waiting for Canon's response. It came thi

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

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
Top notch image quality, Improved build to reduce vibrations, Swift and accurate focusing
Maximum 12,800 ISO, The 5D Mark III is better for video
If you're already a 5D Mark III owner and are thinking of making the leap to the 5DS, it should be an extremely easy transition. You'll need to give a bit of thought as to how those extra pixels affect the way you capture images, but otherwise this is eas...
Published: 2015-10-08, Author: Mike , review by: pocket-lint.com
Hugely impressive image quality (when matched with best lenses and suitable shutter speeds)
No tilt/vari-angle screen, not the best for fast-moving subjects (high shutter speeds essential)
The Canon EOS 5DS is a specialist DSLR, that's for sure, but treated with knowledge and it's a tool to truly challenge medium format. In short, it'll be the studio workhorse that Canon users have been waiting for - perhaps waiting too long, which is...
Abstract: Canon is celebrating its 12th consecutive year as the world's leading interchangeable lens camera manufacturer. But for some time it has been trailing behind the rest of the pack for image resolution with its highest megapixel camera, the 24.2MP 760D, way...
The Canon EOS 5DS doesn't push the reset button on the company's full-frame line-up. It's a specialist model for detail-obsessed and professional photographers who don't need ultimate speed or supreme low-light flexibility. However, as the cameras that w...
Just like the Canon EOS 5D Mark III stunned us when it arrived on the scene in 2012, the EOS 5Ds and 5Ds R do the same, though it must be made clear that both are out to target a more specific audience, namely the type of photographer who wants to resolve...

Abstract: With the release of the EOS 5DS and the EOS 5DS R, you could say that many Canon users finally got the camera they've been waiting for – a high-megapixel camera with enough resolution to rival the likes of the Nikon (with their D810 ) and the Sony (with t...
