I got it today, will be playing with it in earnest of the next few weeks at weddings and will report back, but for now here is an ISO100 shot for you.

WOW! My 5DS arrives today. 8) Most of my print orders are in the 18-30 inch category with several at 5 feet and had some at 8 feet. After cropping aviation photos, the 7D and 5D III are a challenge to correctly process for massive enlargements. Landscapes rarely need cropping but still require a lot of TLC for those big prints.
Shadow detail is very important, so this is looking better every day. :)
It will be interesting to see how well my current L lenses perform. I think I'll try the 300/2.8 first.
*And one nice thing- all my grips and batteries are compatible!!!

Given the detail, cleanness and clarity of the air shots you post already those pilots better make sure they clip their nose hair when you start using that cam! ;D

Edit: I'm curious why not the SR?

Waahaay!! The simplest solutions are often the best! ;)

OK- first daylight test. I found this retro McDonald's in Lodi, California.
Handheld 1/200th, ISO 100, Canon 24-105L(old version 1)
The screen shot is telling. I think I like this new body.

Kieth;
Your work almost always amazes me, here's another example.
You've found a mundane McD, sure it's retro but it's still McD, including power lines, you've composed and captured a brightly colored scene, perfectly exposed, leading lines from the power lines, the driveway, the roof line, the shrub line. Flowers just out of the shade of the off camera tree, even the SUV mostly blocked by shrubbery and not blocking the drive thru. I think it's a marvelous photo.
Grass is too green for CA right now, that's on McD.
If you think there's sarcasm there, you're wrong, I really like it.

Something tells me the 5Dsr was intended just for you and others with similar skill sets and artistic vision.

LOL! Thanks :) This frickin' thing is so good that you need to check backgrounds with binoculars before shooting. There is so much detail that the un-aided eye can't see it when scoping out the scene.
I have found that focus is super critical. What I could get away with on the 5D III is not good enough on the 5DS. I was getting frustrated shooting some birds later in the day. This is going to take some getting used to. My answer was a higher f stop to ensure critical focus. The 5DS mirror and shutter feel creamy smooth and very low noise from the mechanicals. 219 shots on a 16gb card was an eye opener.
Any thing I noticed is that processing in LR6 is really good. The higher res really begs for a huge monitor. My 27" ASUS sRGB displays well but 40 inches would look sweet! Critical photo adjustments need to be done at more than 100% crop.
Panoramas will be hard drive killers. I might have to invest in some $$$$$$ glass to get the best from this sensor. Still, the old L lenses are showing the best. I need to try the 300L 2.8 next.
