Above you can see a frame grab from the EOS 5Ds 1080 / 25p / All-i footage when fitted with the EF 11-24mm at 24mm. Canon EOS 5Ds design and controls. Canon has hit back with the EOS 5Ds, which comes fitted with a 50-megapixel sensor – the highest resolution to date for a full-frame SLR. Perhaps in the future, Canon will be brave enough to offer a model with no low pass filter at all and perhaps call it the 5Ds Mark II, but in the meantime you have the choice of two models with about a $200 premium on the 5DSr version. In this Review of the Canon 5DS R I will give you my experience and opinion of one of the biggest full frame cameras of the last years, resolution wise. Like the EOS 5D Mark III, the 1080p frame is generated from the full sensor width, resulting in no reduction in the horizontal field of view. I’ve used both for some basic sports and birding photography and found them capable of delivering quality images, while also maintaining their maximum burst speeds during continuous autofocus / AI Servo mode. For the main review, covering the design, controls, AF, continuous shooting and movie modes on both bodies, stay on this page and keep reading! The absence of a rubber area on the EOS 5Ds suggests it may not grip a tripod plate as well as the 5D Mark III, but Canon has singled this out as an improvement on the 5Ds; indeed, when coupled with the new shutter drive motor and mirror lockup options which I’ll mention later, the camera should be a lot less susceptible to photos spoiled by vibrations. By sharing essentially the same body as the popular EOS 5D Mark III, the EOS 5Ds hits the ground running. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. The 5DS is all about the big 50.6 Megapixel sensor, which even in the optional APSC crop mode still delivers a respectable 19 Megapixels (although it’s not compatible with EF-S lenses). The EOS 5D Mark III has a rubber rectangle with just one screw near the thread, whereas the thread on the EOS 5Ds is surrounded by five screws and the grip grooves are embedded into the entire underside. Well, that’s exactly Canon’s EOS 5DS DSLR and its 5DS ‘R’ variant offer. And the 5Ds has the ability to shoot HDR photos and multiple exposure photos easily through the camera’s built-in software. As before, you need to enable the feature in a menu, start recording a video, press the Q button, then you’ll see the options you can adjust, such as the aperture, ISO or audio levels. But pressing it does exactly the same thing, presenting AF mode options in the top half of the rear screen and Drive mode options in the lower half. Even with all of the features Canon included with the EOS 5Ds, there’s one thing in which this camera clearly specializes: High-level image quality. Then for the D810 it just went for one version with no low-pass filter at all. Sign up for our newsletter to receive weekly recommendations about seasonal and trending products.

I was only 10 years old at the time, and totally oblivious to it’s existence. Like the 5D Mark III, there’s also an in-camera HDR option that captures three frames at up to +/-3EV before combing them into one JPEG using a choice of five effects: Natural, Art Standard, Art Vivid, Art Bold and Art Embossed. 100% crop from 1080p video at 25600 ISO. Compared to a modern mirrorless camera, or even a more forward-thinking DSLR, the EOS 5Ds can’t help but look a little old fashioned with its fixed screen, absence of peaking or zebra guides, lack of Wifi and fairly modest video frame rates, but as a traditional DSLR it feels confident and ultimately delivers the goods. So if we’re chasing the ultimate resolution, why bother with a low pass filter?

The EOS 5DS DSLR Camera from Canon is the long-awaited follow-up to the vaunted 5D Mark III and brings with it new technology and a number of significant upgrades, placing it in very lofty territory for a DSLR. The Canon 5DS and 5DS R are the world's best DSLRs. Low light sample image filmed with the EOS 5Ds at 1600 ISO, using the EF 50mm f1.8 STM at f8 and 1/30. You get the same 61 point AF system as the EOS 5D Mark III, with 41 cross-type and five double cross-type sensors. I plan on adding some detail and noise comparisons with the Sony A7r Mark II soon, which of course offers 4k on a full-frame sensor. It’s a camera so many of us are already very familiar with, we can start using it without delay. The 5DS did come out on top concerning details, as expected, but the difference was minor. The 5Ds shares almost exactly the same body design and control layout, ensuring anyone who’s familiar with the 5D Mark III will be up and running without delay. Above left: Sony A7r II, above right: Canon EOS 5DS R. Both with Sigma ART 50mm at f8. So the EOS 5Ds inherits a fairly tough and solid body with a comfortable and nicely textured grip that feels good in your hands. You are looking at a pair of world record-holding DSLR cameras, the Canon EOS 5Ds along with its near-identical twin, the 5Ds R: . You can also shoot 720p at 50p or 60p, or VGA at 25p or 30p if desired. It’s also nice to have a slightly quieter shutter sound as standard, although the 5Ds offers additional ‘silent’ drive modes. You can choose exactly which ones are displayed – I went for all of them and enjoyed being able to check and adjust all these settings without taking my eye from the viewfinder. So which to choose? So at 50MP, the same lens that was DL at f16 on a Canon 5D III is now DL between f11-f14 on a Canon 5DS. 100% crops from 1080p video at 6400 ISO, Above left: Canon EOS 5DS, above right: Canon EOS 5D III. A new benchmark has been set. Advanced photographers will appreciate the camera’s dual memory card slots, which allow for shooting with either SD memory cards or the higher-performing CF memory cards. So what do these resolutions mean in practice? On the 5Ds you have a choice of delay periods from 1/8 to two seconds, or the option to simply press the shutter release a second time to take the shot. Don’t get me wrong; that’s still very strong battery life, but not quite as good as what Canon claims. In terms of continuous shooting, the EOS 5Ds is quoted to fire at 5fps for up to 510 JPEGs or 14 RAW images when using a UDMA 7 Compact Flash card. To find out I filmed the same scene with the same lens from the same position, moments apart with each camera. Alternatively if you’re shooting in Live View, the coverage automatically fills the screen, at least as much as the shape allows; it’s same as the EOS 5D Mark III in this regard. The Canon 5D Mark II was my first full-frame camera, which I used for two years before pre-ordering the Mark III. The camera’s noise reduction software does a tremendous job of removing noise from the final image, even at high ISOs. Here’s a single frame next to the HDR mode at +/-3EV with the Art Bold effect. Going through the menus reveals additional differences including a built-in intervalometer and considerably more mirror-lockup options, all of which I’ll describe later. Daylight clip filmed with the EOS 5Ds and EF 11-24mm at 24mm f8, 100 ISO, All-i compression. A quick note on that. As of review time, these are the highest resolution 35mm format DSLR cameras ever produced. This review applies to both models. Audio is recorded by the built-in mic or an external mic connected to a 3.5mm jack, and like the 5D Mark III you can set the audio levels automatically or manually, using graphic peak meters on-screen. Around 500-550 shots per charge is probably a more realistic number for this camera. But there’s a critical difference: the full sensor width of the EOS 5D Mark III was 5760 pixels, into which 1920 (the width of 1080 video) fitted exactly three times. For some photographers, this is all they need to know. In the cropped areas above, both cameras are delivering surprisingly similar results in terms of detail and artefacts, although the 5Ds is a tad crisper and more contrasty using the Standard profile. In my review I’ll show you how this new Megapixel leader compares for static and action, for stills and video, while comparing it with a selection of rivals: I have a complete set of resolution and noise results for the EOS 5Ds versus the EOS 5D Mark III and another set for the EOS 5DSr versus the Sony A7r Mark II, along with separate pages of sample images for both Canon bodies. If you loved everything about the EOS 5D Mark III but just wished it generated bigger files, larger even than Nikon and Sony’s current flagships, then the 5Ds is the camera for you. The full frame Canon 5Ds DSLR camera is one of the best high end models on the market today, producing amazing image quality. The EOS 5Ds looks so similar to the 5D Mark III that you really have to place them side-by-side to spot the minor external differences. In the absence of any in-camera effects, panorama modes or Wifi connectivity, it’s time to complete this section with autofocus and continuous shooting.

In this first one I locked the AF area to the middle of the frame and panned between near and distant subjects. The EOS 5Ds inherits essentially the same movie capabilities of the EOS 5D Mark III with a handful of small changes I’ll mention in a moment. The preset cases are aimed at specific types of sports or action and are even accompanied by icons reminiscent of Olympic event graphics. Canon’s designers decided against giving the EOS 5Ds some of the “fun” features that are common in the best compact cameras and some entry-level DSLRs, such as built-in WiFi, a touch screen LCD, or a tiltable LCD. On the earlier 5D Mark III, mirror-lockup was either enabled or disabled. No Why do I have a five year old camera in my bag in 2019? In terms of AF area, you can choose a single rectangle which you can move around the screen using the joystick, or opt for tracking / face detect, which tracks a subject across the frame. Canon quotes 700 shots per charge on the 5Ds, compared to 950 for the 5D Mark III, but I suspect that’s more down to the conditions required for measurements, than a noticeably hungrier system. The Canon 5D was the world's best portrait and landscape camera for under $8,000 in its day, and today, still a steal. With the EOS 5Ds set to Large JPEG, I fired-off 95 frames in 19.02 seconds for a rate of almost exactly 5fps; the camera seemed happy to continue at this speed while memory remained, although I didn’t try it up to the maximum quoted number of shots. So in terms of JPEG and RAW, the 5Ds performed as quoted, making it only fractionally slower than the 6fps I measured for the earlier EOS 5D Mark III; even the RAW buffers are similar in size, which makes the 5Ds quite impressive considering the considerably higher resolution. Also, the Nikon lacks an optical low-pass filter. There’s no built-in Wifi or GPS either. From the EOS 7D Mark II you get the 150k pixel metering system with Intelligent Tracking, Flicker Detection and an Intervalometer. If you want to obtain quite a bit more battery power, you can add a battery grip to the 5Ds for an extra cost. While the view understandably shrinks through the viewfinder, it’s still useful to preview the coverage as you compose; this is a feature absent on the EOS 5D Mark III, which also lacks the 1.3x and 1.6x crop options.
