Reports of the EOS 5DS Landing at USA Retailers

[BMLmedia]

It's just a pretty picture for the box. I'm certain it has "Lens not included" written on there in microscopic lawyer print.

So the 5Ds Is also sold in a kit with the 24-70 f/4? Don't see any retailers listing it iwith a kit lens..

No, body only. Maybe some shopsshops offer custom kits, but I wouldn't pair it with the f/4.

I think for the launch they are directing you to a load of cash back orders so for example in Europe you can get €300 cash back on the 11-24 when you buy with the 5DSR

If you don't mind me asking are you using ACR to process RAW files? I played with a cityscape that I took with my 5Ds tonight. I looked at Photoshop using ACR and Adobe's lens profile for the 16-35/4L IS lens, Canon's DPP 4.2.32 and their Lens Optimizer, and Phase One's Capture One 8.3. DPP was the sharpest but looked artificial in some respects. Photoshop was the weakest in terms of correcting lens softness in the corners. Capture One was impressive right from the start. The defaults they applied were closest to what I would want. They also had a Canon 16-35/4L IS lens profile and auto selected it. Sharpness was somewhere between Photoshop and DPP and the overall look of the image was very good with minimal tweaking. I have a large number of 3rd party tools to work with in Photoshop so I can adjust just about anything but Capture One saved a good bit of time getting me close to where I wanted to be just by opening the file. It also transfers the image to Photoshop a lot faster than DPP.

So any Adorama customers heard anything? Their ordering website opened up at 20 minutes to midnight, and I had my order number and confirmation for a 5dsr at 1142 PM eastern time on the night of the 22nd, so I was hoping I was fairly high on the list. I have heard nothing from Adorama. Anybody else hear anything yet?

Jim

u got a long wait adorama is days if not a week or 2 behind b&h always they are so slow at getting new stuff

Yeah, me too. Was the first to pre-order at my dealer which is a Canon pro partner. If anyone should get it on Monday it's me. ;D

Canon Europe sent out two mails to dealers this week, an automated one saying we have just sent you.... and it will arrive on.... The second email basically said they are only to be sold from Monday, and don't mess us around on this

Your word in God's ear, so probably they already have the camera and call me tomorrow. Well it would indeed be a bit of a shame if they announce June 15th as official date and then a Canon pro partner shop doesn't have them.

Hello Joe,

In this series I was just using the latest Lightroom CC since it is most common for all. I generally use LR for a quick preview. But most all my production images begin with Capture One. I also used to play with DxO, but Capture One just became a fave for import. Interesting news on 5DS and Capture One. I guess I need to play with it now.

My card has been billed and I have a tracking number from Adorama for my 5dsr, but the tracker says it is too early to get any info. I checked my card earlier and found nothing, so Adorama must be getting them out right now. Can't wait!

Capture One definitely has a different take on the 5DS raw. With these new high MP files, it looks like there is diversity in the importers.
