    The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being.

    I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure.

Production of the EOS 5D Mark III Finished? [CR2]

So if I used a dedicated profile in Lightroom noise and downsample the file I'll get an image better than a 5DIII image on my 5DSR.
That doesn't sound too good or too practical. Maybe if I stand on my head the picture will look better too.
I personally think Canon stretched the 5DSR and 7DII sensor too far in maximizing MP's.
It was really a race to 50MP.
I think the 5DIV will be a better all round camera.
Maybe it's too simplistic to judge photos as they appear out of the camera. In high ISO the 5DIII is better making the 5DSR limited to low ISO use where it performs very well.
But again I think the 5DIII camera is a great camera and probably all most photographers will ever need.
Grab one while you can if you are thinking of moving to full frame.

I'd find the 5DIII much better than than the 5DSR (which I assume is like a 5DS) in low light.

Sounds like you are probably using Lightroom's standard color profile if this is the case.

If you use Canon's RAW engine or a dedicated profile in Lightroom noise is somewhat better on the 5DS R than the 5DIII on top you get better detail - if you reduce to the same file size.

Well using a profile is just good practice, according to some (I don't, perhaps I should) - it's certainly the case the different software produces different results, and if quality is paramount, finding the best is worthwhile. And downsampling is surely a normal part of the process of outputting images for people to see? I certainly never post full sized images online. But as for preferences, it's a matter of taste. From the comparison files I've seen, there's not much in it between these two cameras.
