I have ordered the 5Dsr here in USA and in Europe and i am getting really confused about the different shipping info i get


B&H Photo: June
My Amazon order confirmation states 27th-29th of May
Store in Italy: End of May
Store in Denmark: Beginning of June

somehow the manual is out since a while, so the raw support from Canon and 3rd party raw converter
normally at this point the camera should be just a few weeks from shipping but on this web site it still says that the cameras will ship only at the end of June
Does any one have more informations?

Thanks in advance

Got an e-mail from B&H:

Dear B&H Customer:

Thank you for your pre-order of the following item:
Canon EOS 5DS R DSLR Camera (Body Only)
(B&H # CAE5DSR)

You are receiving this message so we may address a concern of ours. Some customers might be unclear about the differences between the Canon EOS 5DS, and the Canon EOS 5DS R, and which camera is the best choice for them.

With Canon’s introduction of the high-resolution, full-frame 50.6MP CMOS sensor in the EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R DSLRs, many photographers are wondering which model is best for them. Luckily, there is only one major difference between the cameras, and that is the implementation of a low-pass filter (LPF) cancellation effect in the 5DS R.

Most DSLRs, including the 5DS, use a low-pass filter to eliminate false colors and moiré that can be created when shooting finely detailed repeating effects or patterns, by splitting the light points before they reach the sensor. The use of this filter makes the EOS 5DS DSLR a good fit for most users, as it is suited to use in a wide range of applications. The 5DS R uses a separate filter to cancel this effect, to the capture the maximum resolution and sharpness possible, though at a greater risk of aliasing and moiré. This makes the 5DS R useful for photographers who have complete control over their scene, require the highest resolution possible, and/or have time to spend working on images during post processing.

If you would like to change your Pre-Order from the Canon EOS 5DS R to the Canon EOS 5DS, please email [email protected] with your request. If you do not wish to make any change to your order, you DO NOT need to reply to this message.

Thank you,
B&H Customer Service

Any idea on an Australian release date? I thought it was going to be June 30 (approx) but I'm not sure it would be so different to the dates suggested in this thread. I still haven't placed an order as most places in Australia still don't list the actual price of the camera but instead allow you to place a $500 deposit and claim that they'll give you a competitive price.

The original information I heard was end of May or June 5th. I placed my order for both on the night of the release so hopefully I'm in the first batch of shipments.

It wasn't until a few weeks ago I heard 'end of June' which is total bummer b/c we planned our vacation for 'end of June' and I would be very disappointed if it was not with me for our trip to the mountains.

Where did you find these pictures?

They are already three weeks old, some photographer posted them on his instagram acc. If you use chrome right click the picture of the 5DsR box and do a google search, there you'll find it.

IMHO if you have 5d3 then that would be a better camera for the vacation. Just my two cents.
