Have not really had any time at all to use it so far, but soon I'll get a chance to put it to the test.
Basically, its a 5DIII on steroids with a number of small/big improvements - AF being the most important - and with amazing ability to crop when needed. Have not seen any moire but have also not done more than a few shots where it could be a problem.
Your comment above in red lost me. Aren't the 5D3 and 5DS/5DS R identical from an AF perspective?
From TDP, see below, specs side by side -- 5DS on left, 5D3 on right.
From the spec list, I just thought a 5DS was a 5D3 with more pixels, better anti-shake / mirror slap options, and more processing power to move those bigger files and a few of the 7D2's viewfinder improvements. AF was not improved to my knowledge.

Not the OP but the specs are similar. The 5ds is more like the 7D2 from an AF perspective. Both are similar to the 5D3 but 5ds and 7d2 have a few more extras such as iTR, facial recognition and 5ds also offers a blinking red AF mode so you can see the AF points in the dark. It's similar to the 1DX where it alternates between lighting up the AF points and metering. 5d3 does not offer that.
In addition to being more precise in daily use and also can be customized in many ways the 5D3 AF cannot. Also, what you cannot see from the spec list are things like the new - more accurate - spot focusing mode.
Several reviews (most?) note that the AF has improved noticeably - and I agree.
