<p>We have a couple of reports of Canon EOS 5DS camera bodies landing at US retailers and making their way into the hands of the first few lucky customers.</p>
<p>I won’t mention the stores that have sold the cameras, just in case Canon USA has a sale embargo on the EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R.</p>
<p>B&H Photo & Amazon for example, won’t be shipping the cameras until June 14, 2015.</p>
<p>Canon EOS 5DS R $3899: <a href="http://adorama.evyy.net/c/60085/51926/1036?u=http://www.adorama.com/results/canonnewfeb" target="_blank">Adorama</a> | <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1119027-REG/canon_0582c002_eos_5ds_r_dslr.html/BI/2466/KBID/3296" target="_blank">B&H</a> | <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00T3ERPT8/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00T3ERPT8&linkCode=as2&tag=canorumo-20&linkId=X7P2IPISEXTZFLQ7" target="_blank">Amazon</a> | Canon EOS 5DS $3699: <a href="http://adorama.evyy.net/c/60085/51926/1036?u=http://www.adorama.com/results/canonnewfeb" target="_blank">Adorama</a> | <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1119026-REG/canon_0581c002_eos_5ds_dslr_camera.html/BI/2466/KBID/3296" target="_blank">B&H</a> | <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00T3ERPT8/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00T3ERPT8&linkCode=as2&tag=canorumo-20&linkId=C3LAZKJCU4IRBJUF" target="_blank">Amazon</a></p>

Mine is apparently arriving at WEX photographic in UK on Monday 15th to be delivered on 16th June.

Great timing.

The Sony Alpha 7R II, was announced earlier today.

I've already received overnight shipping confirmation on mine. I'll have it tomorrow. Right in time for the weekend.

From where?

Dealer only got one 5DsR - I am #4 in line. So next shipment. Plenty of 5DS though.

I'd be more unhappy if this was a prime shooting month - but it is not. I get more active next month with the wildflowers and monsoons. But I will be very unhappy if the NY shops clear their backorder and Canon leaves the smaller dealers empty handed.

 

[InterMurph]

I just got my shipping email from B&H. I ordered a 5DS on March 23rd.

 

[Halfrack]

LensRentals emailed me this morning that they got in an R I reserved a few months back. Set it up for overnight shipping and all Saw an S this morning, headed out for a rental locally.

Got a call around 11 local time from LR that they weren't getting the one allocated to me today, so we're setup for a Saturday delivery. Arranged for a 24-70 II and a 200-400 for the weekend - should be AMAZING, shooting soccer, plus side by side with my Hasselbald (50mp CCD).

I wasn't told not to say so mine is coming from Norman Camera. Apparently they got a few of the 5DS bodies in and I was high up on the list. I checked their site and they show out of stock so I suspect that the initial shipment was small. I'm fine with getting an S. I don't just shoot natural landscapes and don't want to have to deal with Moiré patterns in clothing and architecture. I already have had to do that some with bodies that have an AA filter. Horizontal and vertical blinds can cause it as well as clothing patterns. The R will be a little sharper but it's not worth the risk (or hassle) to me. Maybe no AA in my next high megapixel body.

Hoping there's word in Europe also soon, I pre-ordered my 5Ds in early February here in Germany at the Canon partner in my city.

Picking my SR up on Monday (Sydney). Had a test of both bodies last night at Sun Studios. Was able to set up a rough test with a fabric backdrop that I use when I shoot bikes and that occasionally generates moire on my 1Ds MkIII. Shot with both bodies with TSE 90. No problems with the SR at the distance/focus/etc "settings" I normally use. The SR was noticeably, but not greatly, sharper than the S.

I visited Procam in Aurora, IL yesterday after they posted on Facebook that they had the 5Ds in stock. Needless to say I walked out with a new camera. Just in time for my trip to Sedona, Grand Canyon, Zion etc.

I just got my shipping email from B&H. I ordered a 5DS on March 23rd.

Congrats! I also ordered mine on March 23rd immediately upon opening and I've yet to get a shipment notice.

Enjoy that camera!

My 5DS was just delivered by FEDEX as expected. I know what I'll be doing over the weekend.

I ordered mine at 5:36a Eastern time. I had to get up early to go to work.

but it's not a soccer or sports camera lol

...plus side by side with my Hasselbald (50mp CCD).

Whilst I applaud the intention, isn't it a foregone conclusion the Hasselblad will pee all over the Canon? I would really like to get a medium format setup and momentarily considered the Canon but the photosites are so small compared to true MF that I thought it would be a bad move. I hope you can prove me wrong!

Will you be able to post comparisons?

Anyway, congrats on your new toy!

 

[PureClassA]

I dont think the idea is to see what camera wins. Barring nothing but fast action, the MF will take the day. It's to see how close the Canon FF bodies are to MF given the same shooting conditions.
