Some observations from using the 5DS now for a number of years.
a. 50.1MP is simply not always necessary and I find even with portraits Im using mRaw to lower the file size yet still getting superbly detailed shots at A3 or above.
b. The biggest area of improvement needs to be at high ISO / low light
c. Video needs to vastly improve across the spectrum but at a minimum needs to be 4K full sensor
d. Also owning the EOS R the metering needs to cover a larger area (not large enough on the EOS R)
e. Retain the toggle switch (D pad & Touch Bar dont cut it)
f. In-body stabilisation in conjunction with lens stabilisation (camera shake is even more apparent at high MPs)
Whilst I use the 5DS as a portrait camera in good light its a great landscape camera with all the benefits of the 5 series ergonomics, metering etc. so as far as possible Canon should not stray from a winning formula but in an R series wrapper.
