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...

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...
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...
