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.
