Yeah...Canon is doomed. ::)

Seriously, though -- thanks for taking the time to post these fantastic examples, Keith. It's neat to see impressive results from thrilled early adopters, even if I won't be in the market for one of these for a few years yet...

I'm very happy and impressed with my 5Ds-R. I got it mostly for studio work where I control the DR on set but of course that isn't all I shoot. In the studio the detail lis ridiculous. It is beyond description. It's great when you are eliminated all ambient and shooting with strobes with super short durations.

I've also shot in a service garage with bay doors open. The backs of the shop and under the hood areas were very dark but it seemed to natively pull detail from the shadows and retain it in the highlights. So when I pushed the shadows a little there was no issue at all. No noticeable noise and best of all NO BANDING!

Chris,

just read your review. Canon Watch has it posted. Need to get CR to do the same. Excellent review!! Love my 5DSR too. Have been very pleased with ability to pull shadows even in my ISO 6400 shots. Color and contrast well maintained up that point and the noise is minimal by my account, particularly when compared to my 5D3.

So long as it doesn't crash the server!

Odd thing is it's just that fraction bit better that the 5D3 needed to be. I'm trying to sell my 5D3 now so I can get another.

Really? Don't want to keep the 5D3 for regular use? 1DX is just too bulky for everyday. I have a 6D too and considering selling that one. Thinking I will sell the 5D3 and 6D when 5D4 comes out provided it yields an upgrade worthy opportunity.

Regular use for me though is shooting at weddings. At the moment a wedding with 2000 shots means 1700 on the 5DSr and 300 on the 5D3 so I'd like to even that out. I keep reaching for the superior camera :D

Canon 5DS - shooting airshows...
I took the 5DS to the Minden-Tahoe Airshow just as a test.
I also took the 5D III as a go-to if I wasn't getting good results.
I mounted the 100-400mm and started shooting. The only difference
was frame rate and buffering time compared to the 5D III.
This screen shot shows the detail. Considering this is with the
100-400 at 400, not bad.
If you like to shoot 60 frames of every pass, this camera is not for you.
If you concentrate on framing and light and shoot a short burst, the 5DS will work out.
I cropped the original photo about 10%. The upper left frame thumbnail
is after the crop.

Looks great.

I have to say that I often find that even when downsized you can see the impact of 50 mpix. in the fine detail of pictures.

I can see from tests that this is actually true for downsized pictures when doing noise reduction. But I also think it shows here even if viewed at normal screen size. Pictures are simply sharper - even the "impossible" hand held pictures such as this.

Will have to do some tests to confirm that this is not just my own viewer bias. But so far I am really impressed with what I see.
