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: 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.
