Pros: Mega Quality, Fast Auto Focus, Silent Mirror

Cons: non

Opinion: I test my new 5DS. I use it with the 100mm 2,8 IS Lens. I can Say the sharpness of the Sensor is sensational. The Auto Focus is very fast and directly. The new Feautures are very cool. The Time Lapse Function is very cool to use. A little bit work make the 50MP RAW Data. But is not so very difficult it works fin. I use a little ITX System and the Power is good enough to work with the 50-60MB Raw Datas. Also a very Good Camera with great sharpness and Colorful Sensor.

Pros: Very good Jpeg. AF as 5D mk3. No security time issues.

Cons: Too pumped, ISO manageable up to about 12,000 when flash use is prohibited.

Opinion: A pumped 5D mk3 with second processor and extreme sensor. Bought for second-body needs to be combined with the MK4 at an affordable price and used for about a year and a half. It never drove me crazy that much if I wanted to look for differences, colors and Canon style details. Only in the exaggerated croppaggi where I could not compose decently during the shooting phase in the ceremonies I saved some shots. In the studio he behaves in the same way as the other 5D. AF dignified, he did his dirty work even in fast shots, buffering good enough for jpegs to store. I made him squeeze the two Tamrons 24-70 and 70-200 G2 series well and the baked rows were great. Many times I forgot his DS theme, I pointed and snapped without any problems and the car paid off well. Very good Jpeg. I didn't need Raw with that kind of compression and speed. It can be exploited very well as if it were an Mk3 or Mk4, without looking for the hair in the egg.

Pros: Exceptional details, robustness and the possibility of crop in the machine to enhance the focal points with very high preserved details, remarkable customization, incredible prints comparable with adequate settings to the Medium Format.

Cons: Noise management can be complex but with top lenses the return detail can be modulated in P.P., it does not accept mediocre lenses, it is essential to know it thoroughly to enhance its great potential.

Opinion: My favorite with L and Sigma Art series kit. Unreciable with high quality fixes. I have been using it constantly for 2 years now after a lucky purchase and I can't go back.... professional prints in A3 and A2 format return something you can hardly imagine. However, the perfect calibration of the lenses is a must, an essential prerequisite for the return on photographic media of exceptional details. Also fundamental accessory a tripod maybe carbon to bring in the kit, with which to finally get rid of the problem of iso and fix on the sensor perfect files .... equip yourself to study an excellent set of lights and diffusers that optimize in portraiture the sharpness of the subjects and harmonize the blurry ...... to wide openings of the diaphragm the details of a face or still life are exalted.... good light at all.

Pros: Amazing quality of the file that churns out, fantastic resolution for exaggerated crops, Pro body, beautiful viewfinder, excellent AF, original anthracite coating that differentiates it from smooth 5D3, possibility of on-camera cropping 1.3 and 1.6 directly on the RAW file at your fingertips, very accurate exposure meter and improved WB compared to 5D3, infinite possibilities (with series lenses)

Cons: Noise, noise, noise, you have to deal with the extremely dense sensor, 6400 ISO are already emergency, absolutely needs SERIES lenses!!, not for all genres.

Opinion: Then... let's start by saying that, this is a machine that caters to some photographic genres and can never, ever be a handyman like 5DMk4 for example. Portrait and landscape are his favorite genres, his sensor is truly extraordinary in the range between 100 and 3200 ISOs capable of churning out extremely detailed images and with exemplary colors! great quality therefore of raw that remains really very workable. with 50Mp the crop possibilities are almost infinite in more, genius of Canon it is possible to crop / cut directly in the machine on the RAW file in various formats, 1,3, 1,6 4:3 etc... this involves the possibility of exploiting the available optics in a very flexible way especially with clipping 1.6 (APS-C format) and, at crop carried out you still have a file of about 20 Mp of great quality. But... every medal, always has its downside and after all these Pros that are many, let's talk about the cons ... Noise! ehhh yes, forget about going around in the evening using it freehand, the range available to get a good file must not exceed 3200 ISO, beyond the noise it becomes quite invasive and is rather difficult to eliminate without losing the finer detail, therefore, for any night you will need a good easel. Another sore note... THE LENSES! even here, there is no escape, to make it to the maximum of its possibilities, it is necessary to equip it with OBJECTIVE GENTLEMEN such as fixed of the Art series of Sigma (BEN TARATI!!!) and L Canon series optics, in particular I recommend the 35mm f1.4II and the 135mm f2 L, beautiful in combination with this body. In conclusion, I can say with extreme certainty that the 5Ds is a fantastic reflex for lovers of portraiture and / or landscape able to show the most meticulous details of an image that often escape the eye during shooting but ... mind you, she's NOT a handyman!!! it's like a Formula 1 Ferrari to make a comparison, it only runs on the track and that's enough to understand us, you can't do everything about it, so much better the 5D4 is a machine with an extremely limited ISO range, 6400 ISO are the latest native sensitivity but they are already to be used for emergencies! so no night outings with reflex around the neck :-) but exclusively with easel as a result, SERIOUS LENSES without compromise otherwise, the high browning will highlight all the crap of underperforming lenses and the shot will be a all kneaded. With TOP lenses, therefore, for portrait and landscape no one will be disappointed by this reflex that, if used properly will create not a little dependence, recommended absolutely to be combined with a reflex all do or as the only machine body for super fine palates in search of the maximum possible detail and giving up stratospheric ISO and the use and abuse of the freehand chamber.

Pros: Image quality, AF, cheap, robust body, tropicalization, double slot, crop mode.

Cons: 3 sec blackout to show you the shot, iso limited to 6400.

Opinion: To date it is the best Canon for image quality, along with the 5Dsr. Cheap enough to be a professional machine. The detail and colors it returns are spectacular, VERY responsive and precise AF. The robust and tropicalized body restores reliability. Very funny and comfortable the crop mode in the car, practically behaves like a Leica Q2, you mount a 28 or 35 and you do everything. Among the cons I found that it is a little lentin, because it takes about 3 sec. to make you see the shot, and while you work on it it's a bit annoying to wait. With ISO is limited to 6400, (but enough), manually setting H comes to 12800 (louder than a 6D). This forces me with little light to use fixed lenses or flashes, which was not the case with 6D. It's still a great all-round machine. Recommended if you are interested in the TOP for image quality in the Canon house.

Pros: Possible strong crop with quality (1.3X and 1.6X). Noise with thin grain only with very high iso but easily manageable. Form af brilliant and with important news that pose justify the purchase. A burst that considers the size of the files easily compares with the 5d3 (1fps less in raw) but with a double amount of data (30Mb vs 80Mb). Absurd file sharpness as long as you take care of the snap phase.

Cons: Battery life for long sessions Requires technical care at the shooting time (that's why at first it was recommended for studio photos) It requires pc discreetly plateral to decrease the processing time of more 'files not suitable for lazy and approximate. Absence Orientable Screen that would bead Hoc in macrophoto , kind of very suitable for this reflex. Difficulty finding it used at a lower price than the new one, but it doesn't directly depend on canon

Opinion: Of this machine I read a lot of reviews and topics but since my considerations I draw from proven proof I decided to go deep considering how in everything what my real needs were.' I consulted sample I viewed and processed a hundred files from iso 100 to iso 6400 from 30sec to 1/8000 from f1.8 to f18 in the ranges I use most. Files worked with ACR and CS5. I believe that juza's review is the only one that really describes this niche machine objectively without taking a priori position, so I would invite you to read it . I use it mainly for naturalistic photography taking advantage of the possibility of crop 1.6x with a 300 2.8 multiplied, thus having a native file of 19mpx of the highest quality. In practice a 600mm can be modulated up to 960mm from 780mm depending on the crop factor chosen. Not suitable for those who are very approximate during the shooting phase because it requires a certain meticulousness in the choice of parameters to best squeeze the sensor avoid the micromove and any spreads. It doesn't even fit branded fanatics. The noise has a more pointy grain than the younger sister easier to handle in pp, however perceptible to eye 10/10imi only from 3200iso. If you want unnecessarily and exaggeratedly clean files switch to another sony or nikon brand with all the pros and cons. Silent shot suitable for naturalistic stalking. Detail of the absurd file as long as you use tricks to avoid micromove and diffraction of the lenses, otherwise you will be disappointed. Interpolation of a 5d3 file will NEVER give you a 5ds file as some claim. We talk about quality of image not beauty or emotions. Trust. Try to believe. The af module also in lv makes it perfect for photo hunting in-weaving but overused by stakeout. Of course it allows a customization according to the scenes filmed,but even here you have to take the trouble to devote a little time. I mean, it's not a machine for everyone. This has led to a sharp devaluation of the used and a difficult availability at fair prices. So I took it as the ultimate camera for the photo hunt to be flanked by the 5d3 and the 7d. Having no intention of reselling it and having found it at an affordable price I am aware that reselling it would be difficult even if I would miss cmq very little. I excluded the 5d4 despite coming with deep satisfaction from a 5d3, because at that price there are no big news that justifies it while remaining a nice car. Let's just say that 5d3 doesn't make you feel the need. If you use L-series optics it's obvious that the SLR will be satisfying, but I think it's an optical law that applies to all other bodies. Here all the more reason because we're talking about a monsterpixel. New machine costing 1100euro (2019) so the evaluation of the used in excellent condition should not exceed 850 euros in my opinion. Those who ask for higher prices than the new have paid as much as a utility on the time, so surely you will have to be able to get before you quit the bone. Tip: Evaluate your real photographic needs the way you take photography and your current kit before proceeding to the purchase .

Pros: Robustness, controls, compatibility with Canon home lenses, AF, exposure meter, file rendering if well exposed, silent and silent shutter.

Cons: Huge files, slower than new machine guns, af to calibrate for good, micromoney lurking, safety times to keep at 50mpx.

Opinion: What if it is used without taking care of the intrinsic weight of data behind each photo it is likely to throw it out of the hill and return to the markings because it is lighter and more similar. RnrnIt is used to today, mid November 2017, in Canon and in some respects throughout the market, there are no rivals on the 24x35 format. The well-exposed file returns impressive details and, in this version with the filter, I personally find a better thread about it microdetails that require more sharpening but never become almost as excessive as those of 5dsr; I obviously look at 100 or 200% of the file.rnPermette crop INDICABLE, sharpen the lenses as if they were sponges, but at the same time, the sharpest ones can make the final click out. rnThe 5dmkiii has a silent shutter, a better metering meter, a self-worthy self-worthy, and if you open the shadows you will never see banding; we are at the 6d but on 50mpx! rnspect the 5dmkiv? rnLent, a lower af for avifauna (i would say more for the limitation of f8 solor on the board more than anything else), but a file that slaps unresponsively with the newest sister, however, allows more exaggerated recoveries and is accompanied by a lesser Canon contrast contrast. Mostly taken under the 3200 iso not there are currently other Canon cameras you might want.rnrn Thanks to me I converted to Capture One that allows me to edit without waiting for so long at every zoom as happens with adobe; the file is clearly more alive.rnrnOcchio to the micromosus from snap without care and .. if the iso go up, just go to mraw (28mpx) or sraw (12mpx) and it also gets serene even at 12800 iso.rnrnThe main body that, anyone I know between 5ds and 5dsr, has elected primary even having the newest or the most expensive ones in your house, in your opinion, why?

Pros: Robustness, very silent shutter, spectacular file quality, possibility to crop the file at 1.4x and more without obvious loss of IQ, excellent signal-to-noise ratio, the file resized to 25 mpxl practically no noise up to 3200 iso and not requires special processing, at low ISO the yield is excellent even at full resolution

Cons: Size of the file if the PC is not adequate, slow burst, low battery life (about 6-700 shots), the fact that the high resolution causes me to avoid the use of other machines less resolving creating almost a psychological dependence.

Opinion: I also own the 1dx, but when I do not need the burst almost always use her, I consider it a multifunctional machine because it allows me to use it as an apsc cropping the file, or to avoid the use of the 1.4X on the 800 when I can not approach too much to the subjects (example the passerines can be taken 10 meters instead of 7) especially if nesting, or at close range to have a ff of excellent quality without crop. It will also be true that the 5DSr GD is so poor, in any case good shadows and lights recovers, on another planet compared to other machines that I know well: 5d3, 1dx and previous.rnRetings of the 5ds are very clean and detailed for my poor post-production possibilities, every time I tried even if for a few test shots machines also of other brands I never saw miracles and I got the idea that the current evolutionary possibilities of the sensors are at the terminus.rnIn particular the recoveries shadows of the 5ds preserve good detail and very fine grain without banding or alterationni of color, (I do not speak of the 5 or 6 stops of the tests that are still painful due to lack of detail on any sensor) but the normal needs of PP.rnrnFor these reasons a hypothetical 5dsr2 will be joined by the 5ds1 only compared to a good increase in the burst that for me is the only limit.rnConsider the 5ds a definitive machine for me, the only one that until now I never wanted to change.rnUsed with quality optics the detail is so high as to be simply wasted for most uses, because they are visible in the crop or pushed enlargements, it also has an excellent signal to noise ratio to the sesibility that I use more (100-1600 ISO) with a fine grain grapple and no chrominance noise, such to be virtually eliminated even by reducing the resolution, or shooting in Mraw when the light is poor. rnThanks to the very silent shutter is also excellent at the theater. The price to pay will be in any case a larger file, but I have adjusted & egrAve; I learned to use more trash, I had already updated the pc.

Pros: Much detail.

Cons: Micro moved.

Opinion: After taking about 2,000 photos I can say that 50 megapixels give many benefits and few drawbacks: the large files obviously have many contraindications but with good cards and a nice desktop everything is resolved; Micro moved unfortunately is always lurking forces at times much faster than a Eos 1Dx and sometimes involves an absurd raising of iso with all the consequences. For the rest only advantages: much detail when used with optical solving and up to a maximum of F.8 then the possibility to use it as Aps Aps-c-h or having still about 20 megapixels available with great advantage when using the super paintings. Then when it concerns the tonal passages the number is significantly higher than for example to that of a 1Dx. The 'AF than the 5D III is improved especially more precise. rn

Pros: Beautiful as the 5D3, some updates to firmware and to control picture, light, good to the touch, ergonomic ... a classic body 5D ...

Cons: tightness of the iso, kneading details, enormous price

Opinion: I got to use it for a whole day and I must say that, all in all, aside from an initial enthusiasm for the 50 megapixel, I was a little deluso.rnLe expectations were many but the evidence shows, the results are been poor. rnAnche 100 iso raw files are mixed when it opens 100% .rnLa same photos I shot with 18 mpx of 1Dx and interpolandoli in PP, I took them to 50 mpx ..... better 1Dx. .. paradoxical but vero.rnIngrandendo the file to 100% the photo loses incisiveness, exactly as I had seen it happen on the D800 Nikon.rnPer of everything else, is a very good car as the whole series 5 but the high ISO have made quite .... step back to 3200 ISO is identical to the 5D2 ... not bad but less than what you would buy the aspetta.rnrnSe? no ..... I take a Leica M9 rather that at least gives me emotions forti.rnLa 5Ds, in my opinion, not good even for the still life and controlled light and I say this in light of my all Canon L series lenses and all last serious, both zoom and fixed, so nothing due to factors esterni.rnrnCome already expecting,It is a camera designed to meet the marketing; Who owns a 6D or 5D3, discourage the passage ...... interpolated in Photoshop that you get the same file.rnrnqui you can download a file esempiornhttps: //www.dropbox.com/s/0g2wqqwed1y5an1/senza%20titolo .cr2? dl = 0RN
