5DSR mark2

[jeanluc]

With all the understandable mirrorless buzz, I am wondering what the status of the 5DSR mark 2 is. I remember reading that a "faster than usual" upgrade to this was coming, presumably to incorporate a current generation sensor (and hopefully tilt/flip screen a la D850 or 6D2), no aa filter, DPAF etc. Haven't heard much about this for a while.

I personally look forward to this as much as a FF mirrorless offering.

Either one with a new generation sensor somewhere around 45-50 MP would be great, but I wonder if that sensor in a proven DSLR vs a first generation new body may be better.

Hope there is both for us to debate and agonize over.

It's been crickets in regards to a 5DS follow-up for quite some time.

I'm sure it's still coming. Just not this year.

I'm looking forwards to one as well. I'd happily get a MkI secondhand at the moment, I just saw a very well kept low count one for $2,195, but I have kind of fallen for the newer generation sensors along with built in WiFi etc etc and would rather get a MkII with all the toys and keep it for a long time rather than get a current model and end up with gear lust or trading it out.

The buzz was just that - buzzzzzzz. June 2015 - June 2019 = 4 years. No chance we will see a 5DS/R ii before that time imho. I actually expect it will be 5 years.

I'm waiting and wanting one!

The current camera has few weaknesses but the obvious ones are better low light performance and better dynamic range. Canon will likely make the AF & metering changes it added to the 5D MKIV but these are minor. I shoot with my 5DS mainly in the studio with strobes a faster sync speed would be handy but not a deal breaker given I can shoot HS with my Elinchrom strobes. The frame rate for some should come into line with the 5D MKIV and utilise a bigger buffer. Lastly Wi-Fi needs to be incorporated along with NFC.
