Almost all relative posts mention the 5DS ... only. Everybody says it is great... Everybody compares it to the Sony or the 5DIII or the upcoming this that and the other... The 5DS...
Who is using the 5DR?

its all about the 5DS, who is using the 5DR

I'm not, I am not using either yet. I had decided that if the 1DX MkII doesn't give me what I want then I'd get a 5DS as I was concerned about the moire potential from the 5DS.
BUT, I have been playing with some 5DSR files that have moire and using the moire removal tool in LR is truthfully amazing, that and the fact that when you get moire with the 5DSR you also get it with the 5DS, just not as bad, has made me think a 5DSR is in my future.

I know one friend in real life who uses the 5DSR, haven't seen him since he got it... I think its about time that I pay him a visit.
But if you do a small search on this forum, there is at least 2 people that own the 5DSR, e.g.
Eldar from the looks of this thread -http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?topic=26828.0
PureClassA has it according to his signature.
BTW, if you haven't noticed the 5DS is the only one with the price drops. Hence, more people buying into it?

I bought the 5Ds R
I have seen moire in a few pics in 4000.
In those pics it didn't matter for the overall nature of the picture.
It was repairable as well.
I seldom shoot people, most have been city scape, wildlife and landscape.
For me so far it has been a non issue and the camera has been great. I am glad I went with the 5Ds R.

I see just the opposite, many are buying the 5DSR. It was in short supply for a long time, while the 5DS was being discounted. I think that many who want such a high MP body are going for the R version.

I would be curious to see the actual production and release numbers.
I bet the 5Ds R out sold the 5Ds substantially.

That's something that we will not see. However, there are companies who monitor sales at key stores and issue estimates based on their sales... for a price, of course.
One Hint is that Amazon lists the 5DS as #35 in sales while the 5DSR is #61. That may be due to previous availability issues, but sales of the 5DS are definitely better on Amazon.

Got a 5DSR for a very good price. Very happy so far.
Have not really had any time at all to use it so far, but soon I'll get a chance to put it to the test.
Basically, its a 5DIII on steroids with a number of small/big improvements - AF being the most important - and with amazing ability to crop when needed. Have not seen any moire but have also not done more than a few shots where it could be a problem.
ACR profile is not the greatest - so I try using a color checker when possible.
If anyone knows of a tool or way to crop RAW files (into a new Canon Raw file) I would be very happy as the color checker software cannot handle 50 mpix files and I annoyingly need to work around this.

5DS R here. Pre-Ordered so received as soon as they were shipping. Primarily Landscape use and quite liking it. Amazing amount of data and still getting used to processing.

Partly because the camera is just generally referred to as a 5DsTeT said:
There are people to whom it matters that they have the 'R' and there are people who find it helps with their work in certain specialised areas - the two sets overlap to a far smaller extent than many of those in the first set might like to believe ;-)

I would think that the term '5Ds' is being used generically - the s or sr. I know I do. I'd like to see someone pick out which pictures were shot on which variation of the model !

i too bought a 5dsr when canonpricewatch had an early street price deal and b&h still hadn't filled their preorders. anyway, moving from a 5dii, i'm very pleased with the upgrade but still feel like i'm just scratching the surface of what it can do. i was initially worried about not seeing too much of a resolution difference unless i was working on a tripod, but that myth was soon dispelled. i have yet to have an issue with moire.

Just wondering if anyone has compared the 5ds or 5dsr to the 1dx?? And what there thoughts were. I did try to compare my 1dx to the 5dsr but had limited time to try a "scientific" photoshoot.
Thanks for everyone's time.

I bought the 5DsR Shortly after they were released. I actually got it for $200 less with about $150 worth ad ins thrown in.
Moiré is definitely an issue and I'd imagine it would be on the 5Ds also. I remember moiré tainted shots from the OG 5D too so...
Back to the 5DsR, it's definitely not my all around camera, that would be 5D3. Shooting several shots in a row makes it bog on image previews and the files size isn't something I need all the time. Shooting med RAW has some bottle necking too as the camera doesn't generate jpeg previews therefore Lightroom has to do it and that increases processing time. I probably could use a more powerful machine to process them too. Currently on a 2011 2.4 i7 MBP 16g RAM and SSD.
The files are really nice. I'd say on par with my 1Ds3 (that it has replaced) as far as sharpness and possibly slightly better DR. The shadows don't have banding in the shadows that cursed the 5D2 and to lesser extent the 5D3. With the files and performance I'd say it is very similar to 1Ds3 with better AF and substantially larger but familiar files.
I'm having pretty decent success with my hand held shots. I was missing a lot at first (I hate tripods even in studio) but it has made me more conscious of my technique which I'm actually happy about. Due to the file sizes, I'm also very conscious of over shooting now which I'm also very happy about. It is actually taking me back a little.
The 5DsR with the 100L makes for serious giddiness when viewing the files.

Well finally caved in to my desires and bought the 5Ds this weekend got a good discount from list price and as I bought the EF24-70mm f4L IS USM at the same time it also gets a Canon cash-back of £ 165.00. The 7D was traded against the 5Ds as I really was not using it any longer but I intend on keeping and using the 6D (until Canon upgrades it).
My first images were taken yesterday and I will process them tonight all were on a tripod at the coast.
What is peoples experiance regarding processing Im using a current generation 21.5" iMac I also have a fairly powerfull 13" MBP and I think I will buy a faster stand-alone hard-drive to download the files too. Im using the latest Adobe LR / PS subscription package.
