If you scroll down this link, they have a nifty diffraction calculator. If you open the advanced tab, you can punch in actual mega pixels. Set you Circle of Confusion to be based on pixels. If you set pixels to 50.6, you will get the approximate pixel size of the Canon 5DS at 4.1 nm.
This seems to illustrate that where on a 5D MkIII, diffraction doesn't mathematically effect things until between f11 and f16 (they only use full stops on this), it shows the 5DS topping out at f8 given the much smaller pixel size.
Just thought this was interesting enough to pass along. I shot landscape at f11 with a 5D3 and 6D commonly. I'm now curious to try it out on my 5DSR. The 6D given it's fewer, bigger pixels, has an even higher diffraction limit than the 5D3. Assuming one needs a longer DOF on a given shot, fewer pixels could actually be better? Sure some of that effect gets mitigated with so much more resolution, but that's pretty interesting to consider nonetheless.
Lots of people on here smarter than I am I'd love to hear opinions on
