Ah the poor 60D, it was rough following the amazing for the time 50D. The 60 didn't do it justice as an upgrade.
The 50D upgrade at the time was the 7D. The 60D was an upgrade in some ways and a downgrade in others.

I went 300D>T2i>60D>7D>5D3. I've enjoyed walking this path, especially the T2i, very underrated. After all those incremental bumps, I'm ready for something extraordinary.
I doubt we see a high MP camera this year and the R5 specs are wrong. Unless of course you believe Canon is just going to change decades long behavior and throw all kinds of high end specs into their cameras. Yea, not happening.
What did you find was the biggest leap for you? (I know the leap in a body purchase may not coincide with big leaps in technique and artistic vision though ...)I think this is fun to talk about. I went t4i -> 7D -> 5D -> RP.
I have ISO 3200 files from my 5Ds that I would not hesitate to print 24x36". They are tack sharp and full of detail across the tonal range with only a bit of noise in deep shadows. By 12,800 you may only be looking at an 11x14, but that's true of just about every 35mm sensor out there.
As I wrote previously, RS does imply Rat S*** in some lingo but RS is also similar in looks to R5 hence the rumour that they couldn't tell if it was R5 or RS.
My guess is R3 instead.
R4 is unlikely due to the similarity in sound to "death" in many asian languages. See https://www.tofugu.com/japan/number-four-superstition/

Yeah it comes down to the subjective difference,
The 60D also had the articulating screen, just no DPAF.Yup. I can remember debating with myself as to what to get. At the time, the 60D looked like it was still a great camera to me. In the end, I went for the 70D due to dual pixel AF and the articulating screen because I was doing youtube videos at the time for my Google+ page. It was a nice camera.
One is magnifying the higher resolution cameras more then complaining they have more noise (or motion blur or CA or whatever).
it's clear the 5D IV and A7r4 either got a bit more light or have profiles that open the shadows more (most likely the latter)
Now I'm sure you'll zoom in and complain that the 5Ds has more luminance noise. But it's also a lot sharper
I really hadn't been a big Auto iso person until I started thinking how I could use it in narrow ranges depending on the exposure triangle and how I'd nail it all down and use the iso for a little more latitude, wiggle room. i.e. 100-400 or 400-800. Serves me well unlike when I first tried it and kept it wide open, ugh.I was shocked by the leap from 7D to 5D, but more than the full-frame sensor, what improved the most was my understanding of post-production, which muddies the waters somewhat. Going from the 5D classic to the RP has been extraordinary as far as AF capability goes (which is of primary important to me as a portrait photographer). How about your own journey?
EDIT: God, and auto ISO. Ohhhhh, auto ISO, how did I ever live without it?
That wasn't magnification, that was viewing 1:1.
I don't see shadows in 5DIV any brighter tbh. Moreover, to me it feels like 5Ds image is actually a bit brighter than 5DIV on DPR, same in your sample.
Again at 1:1 90D also produces messy shadows, worse than 5DIV.
For me it was AE1 > A1 > EOS 620 > EOS 3 > EOS 1v HS > 10D > 1D Mk II > 1Ds Mk II > 5D > 1D Mk III > 5D2 > RS?What did you find was the biggest leap for you? (I know the leap in a body purchase may not coincide with big leaps in technique and artistic vision though ...)
The 7D was a revelation in ergonomics, not imaging. I hated the noise ceiling of 6400 iso.
Oh snap, I forgot to entertain with my film bodies.... Thanks for going way back and sharing, here's your chip.For me it was AE1 > A1 > EOS 620 > EOS 3 > EOS 1v HS > 10D > 1D Mk II > 1Ds Mk II > 5D > 1D Mk III > 5D2 > RS?
AE1 taught me the fundamentals
A1 allowed me to capture more due to better/more useful metering
620 was a setback as the AF sucked, but the technical back was fun
EOS 3 eye control did not work well for me, I should have just got the 1V
1V HS was great way to waste film, but I got very good at reloading
10D was the biggest leap for me, with the instant feedback of chimping
1D Mk II increased my keepers
1Ds Mk II was a great increase in printable images
5D was a great landscape body for me
1D Mk III was the biggest setback due to AF failures, I should have dumped it, it sits on a shelf with 6x7 gear
5D2 is a great body and was my last after the career impact of the 1D Mk III
RS will be my first new gear in over a decade, and now that I am retired I can focus on landscapes again
I have been wondering if any of my older L glass (first gen IS) will hold up to a 70MP+ sensor. Did you have to upgrade any L glass for the 5DSR, and if so what?I went 20D -> 5DM3 -> 5DSR. These were each significant jumps and the last one required me to upgrade quite a bit of glass. Will be interested to see what this year holds and what my upgrade path will include. I am hoping for a mirrorless MP monster with great DR and a 7dmII replacement for wildlife. Will consider the new R5 if it ticks all the right boxes as a wildlife rig.
We're talking about different things. You're talking about visual sizes of objects, I'm saying that 1:1 doesn't magnify anything as you see 1 image pixel per 1 screen pixel.I can't believe I have to explain this but 1:1 magnifies higher resolution files more because it's a one-to-one mapping of image pixels to screen pixels. Why else do you think her head was larger in some of the squares?
I can measure it on screen with Digital Color Meter. In the section you're complaining about the hair is darker on the 5Ds, almost certainly due to profile differences. Like I said, Adobe's profiles tend to crush the blacks on the 5Ds/sR. (It was disgustingly bad when the cameras first came out.)
Of course it does. It's a crop sensor. The same pixel density in a FF sensor would have FF noise characteristics when viewed at the same print size.

Canon sales and marketing : show us your money, Freddie.I would probably buy a R-series Canon camera body with a high-density full-frame sensor. It would replace the 5DSr for landscapes and macros. I wouldn't go for anything less than 70+ megapixels. Come on, Canon, get with it!
