[BREAKING NEWS] These Two Cameras Set A New Record As The Highest Megapixel DSLR’s Ever Made
There is a low-pass filter cancellation feature in the 5DSR that makes the image just that much crispier. That and $200 is the only difference between the two. This is still the same body that is being used by the 5D Mark III.
The 5DS will ship in June for $3700, while the 5Ds R will be $3900.
Looking past the megapixel count, the cameras feature a 61 point AF system and dual DIGIC 6 processors. That should make it just as speedy and powerful as the recent 7D Mark II, which wowed us with its fast autofocus. I would guess that 50 megapixels of firepower is going to appeal mainly to landscape photographers toting tripods around. As users of other high-res cameras like the 36 megapixel Nikon D800 series or Sony’s A7r know, it can be challenging to get handheld shots absolutely sharp. The tiniest shake of the hand or shift of focus will show its ugly face.
Canon is being forthright about the unfortunate reality that such high resolution will hurt low light performance. Because the sensor’s pixels are so small and densely packed, they gather less light. We were told that both new cams are expected to perform similarly to the 7D Mark II in low light. The 7D has a smaller APS-C sensor, and is thus inferior to a full-frame one. This effectively eliminates one of the major draws of a full-frame sensor, its superior low light performance.
