Re: More About the EOS 5DS & EOS 5DS R

Colour wise, I wonder if they are using 4 colours each one more seperated, compared to say the pro-photo colour space it would cover about 120%.. compared to the human eye probably about 100%.

Another thought on the colour: the 5Dc was always cited as producing excellent skin tones.. part of the reason I think is the lesser green sensitivity and the fact that it was a slightly more red biased green, not unlike human vision. see: http://www.astrosurf.com/buil/50d/test.htm.. about half way down there's a QE comparison between the 5Dc and the 5DII.

Whatever, it does look like canon have accepted the need for a "landscape/studio" camera, and hopefully it will be better built than the D800.

I'm still wondering if it will come with an updated mount.. EF compatible, but able to accept EFX (or whatever they call the next mount)

FINALLY!

A thousand times YES!

This sounds like a new modern version of the 1Ds Mark III. If the files turn out to be 1Ds-ish in color and character with no AA filter and better DR I am soooo getting this one. This sounds like THE studio/wedding/portrait camera.

It will be an expensive year for sure...

What about the price, anyone?

Re: More About the EOS 5DS & EOS 5DS R

I can't seem to find the logic as to why people complain about certain things.

We have options for everyone. Why is it when a new option comes along people act like they are being forced to buy it at gunpoint for something it is not intended?

When 7D2 was released, people complained it didn't have a flippy touch screen and wifi. Does the 70D not exist?

When the 11-24 was rumored, people complained it is too wide, too slow, and doesn't take filters. So no other fast UWA lens exists that takes filters?

I really hope people's lives are not so boring and miserable that they feel the need to just constantly complain. These companies are giving us amazing options for little or no profit. I swear some people would complain about a free sandwich because it wasn't slice at the angle they prefer. :)

I bet if we took someone from 1990 and brought them ahead in time, they would be dumbfounded, and eager to slap some people around for their perceived "first world problems." Back then, digital photography was a fantasy. Today, it is better than anyone could have ever imagined.

Re: More About the EOS 5DS & EOS 5DS R

I guess to state the obvious: it looks like Canon and other camera companies are starting to ditch the idea of making a camera that does it all. More and more cameras that are specialized are being released. What's the difference between the 5DS and 5DS R though? Sorry if I had missed that somewhere in the flood of posts.

Added: Nevermind, just saw that 5DS R has no AA filter.

So there will be a 5Ds, 5Ds R and 5D Mark IV?

It looks like Canon is planning to deploy three variants of a single design platform ... smart. As the market matures and saturates, it becomes necessary to segment to appeal to the niches.

Yes, it is very smart because the pros who have all of the needs (lowlight capabilities, fast AF) will end up having to buy more than one body. I hope they have deep pockets!

Ugh so I'm gonna have to buy two cameras this year? One for portraiture and one for events?

NOOOOOOOOOO

You already have one for events. Did your 5D3 suddenly become useless?

ahahaha. well said!

Exactly. I'm not giving up my 6D. I'll have a perfect general FF and now a kick-ass studio/landscape rig. If someone cant afford to keep both, wait for the 5D4 and get that instead. Given that THESE are the high MP bodies, how much better is the actual 5D4 going to be than the 5D3? A small to modest boost in MP? same 61 AF? 7-8 FPS? maybe 4k? It all depends on what you need. I suspect if you are very happy with a 5D3 now... a 5D4 won't add much to your plate. Buy the 5DS and keep the 5D3

Re: More About the EOS 5DS & EOS 5DS R

I can't see myself buying any of the new cameras, as I'm very happy with the 5D3 for my needs. However, it is gratifying for this Canon fanboy to see Canon moving ahead. I was starting to worry about their commitment to the DSLR market.

It will be interesting to see if the strong dollar helps hold the USA price down a bit.

If anyone is in need of a new full frame body, the prices we are seeing for 5D3 bodies are very attractive right now! :)

Re: More About the EOS 5DS & EOS 5DS R

Who makes the NEW Sensor ??? The administrator over at Sony Alpha Rumors is bleating that's it's probably a Sony Sensor.

Of course he's often wrong about claiming wishful thinking to be truth ;)
