End of June?

I thought I read previously around June 7th.

 

[Canon Rumors]

I thought I read previously around June 7th.

June 30, 2015 appears to be the day retailers are going to be able to sell the cameras. I suspect we'll see some leak out in Asian markets before then. Canon usually sets a "sell date" to equalize things for retailers in Europe and North America.

This camera seems to be an impressive tool for those who need/want that amount of resolution. Especially the portraits show what detail can be achieved with a outdated (really?!) lens like the EF 1.8 85 ... really surprised positively about the texture fidelity of the portraits of that SYSTEM of camera and lens.

Is it just me… These look pretty damn good!! Looks very similar to my 5DMKIII

The yard stick should be the latest high megapixel Nikon's and Sony's, not the ageing 5DMKIII. It wouldn't interest me, if it couldn't out preform a Canon DSLR, that's over 3 years old.

So no opinion about these sample images?

I think they look great, scarily close to medium format.

Can't assess them properly until this evening, but I hope that's the case.

But your doubling the resolution which is why its impressive I think the noise is well controlled.

I don't find my 5D limiting so I'm not bothered about comparing it. The camera is never the limiting factor for me.

This is going to be a beast for a lot of people.

This camera seems to be an impressive tool for those who need/want that amount of resolution.

But then, medium format has already had resolutions like this—and far higher— for years now. Portrait photographers who want/need more resolution than DSLRs have given up until now have just been shooting medium format, where you get far higher resolution, considerably more dynamic range and, as much as I like my Canon glass, most medium format lenses are also capable of resolving much more detail than lenses made for 35mm sensors.

So I'm still not really seeing the point of these new 5Ds. Yes, these images look very good compared to an existing 5D3 or 1DX, but they're not actually doing anything new. They're clearly slower and than the 5D3 and they've still not got the resolution or range of medium format, so... what exactly is the point?

 

[telemaq76]

i played with those raw files, and i ve to admit it s pretty good, no pattern noise at all, low iso quality seems far superior to 5d3. dynamic not great but shadows recovery keeps clean. and high iso is better than excpected. very regular and fine luminance noise .

So I'm still not really seeing the point of these new 5Ds.

Well it's a perfect fit for me, I am a product photographer. I am heavily invested in Canon mount lenses and have a couple 5Dmk3's. One day I would like to jump to a medium format but that big purchase is a few years off. The 5DS R will be a real step up, especially for large format photos for billboards, signage etc which is pushing it with my 5Dmk3.

Pre-ordered one, can't wait.

The point is simple. To make money. And Canon will from this camera. Lot's of it. And why? Because there are tons of folks like me that have many thousands of dollars invested in Canon EF glass. A $3800 camera to get this level of resolve is $10k cheaper than buying a 645z and a couple new lenses to make it work. I've had my 5DSR on pre order since March. Looking forward to it next month I hope.

How is 50MP not in MF range? And I don't understand your "slower" comment. FPS? Yes by 1 FPS. But you're talking more than double the amount of data on each frame. Losing only 1 FPS is pretty good! These aren't sports bodies. Portrait and Landscape. And the 645z is, what? 3FPS? That's slower. Don't misunderstand, I think the 645z is an amazing body, but it's for everyone.

+1, not everyone can t or want afford a medium format camera. and when you have canon gear for years it s great to have a camera that quality you can use with your canon lenses. For portrait landscape shooters i think it s really a cool deal. 5d3 was a great cam but low iso is so bad. No good canon in low iso since 1ds3 in my opinion. My 5ds is not preordered but i feel i can buy it soon

Ahh thanks for that. I was wondering why suddenly Amazon's release estimate for the R had vanished.

 

[PhotographyFirst]

I can here the chumps over at DXO crying that they might have to rate the MP of Canon lenses way above other brands due to mounting it on a super high MP sensor camera. They'll probably stop using the MP numbers and start going with lens DR instead.

This review just about sums up their pure hatred for anything Canon.

still is, happy with mine

Looking forward to the 5Ds and 5DR release.

To be followed by more "solid" rumors about the 5DIV 8)

Wow I was looking or of the images at 4:1 to check out the details and it looks Canon has had this camera around for a really really long time and has just been waiting for the right time to release it
