Pros: Megapix, detail

Cons: Slow burst (but suitable for its use), lack of an internal flash trigger

Opinion: I already had a 7D markII and I was aiming for the 5D IV. Then almost by chance I came across the reviews of this one, I saw the sample photos, and I said "WOW". Considering that in some terms it is the exact opposite of the 7D II, I took it and I like it a lot. I have an amateur use, but for photos where you need to bring out detail is fantastic, of course with the limitations of the case.

Pros: Pro body, grip, big mp, file rendering

Cons: Gust, lack wi fi, lack touch, fixed display, Cost also used.

Opinion: Currently at canon the models with "big mp" are the ML R5 is the reflex 5ds / 5dsr (out of production). In 2015, the year of its launch on the market, this camera entirely oriented on the photo side cost more than 3k euros, today it is only used at about half price. To obtain high-impact photos it is necessary to use L-series lenses with very open apertures. Purchased for use mainly in the studio and therefore with direct connection and remote shooting via dedicated DPP software you realize that you can only choose between two focus settings, af central point area or af with face recognition, also the coverage of the frame is poor, it will be around 65% of the framing impossible to focus on the subject near the corners. Being a 50mp FF camera and using a digic 6 processor the shooting is very slow as well as the burst. The lack of technology such as wi-fi, adjustable screen and above all touch is felt, and also a lot, especially the lack of touch to move in the various menus. The files are very good although large (sometimes they are even around 80 kb) Workable and well manageable. The colors compared to other canon cameras I found them a bit cold. Always compared with other csnon (R, R5,R6,) However, I find that the lack of the AA filter is not very incisive. In conclusion I can say that this machine has disappointed me jn po in terms of multimedia By now we are used to touch without that helps a lot in the shooting phase is above all navigation in the various menus, as well as the lack of wi-fi and the possibility of remote shooting (flaw solvable with the use of the card will adapt wifi canon) to the detriment of the sd card. 50 mp files often create shake even with high isos and wide apertures. The cost of the used are around 1.5k, cost that I still consider high bike. Unfortunately today at home canon the choice of a camera with MP is only between this SLR (out of production with all the disadvantages of the lack of multimedia) And the ML R5 from the really high cost (I think its very much also due to the fact that it offers a video 8k) To conclude this 5DRS did not excite me very much and review I guess I did not shout wow!

Pros: Sharpness, ergonomics, build quality

Cons: None for my use

Opinion: I was very torn on the purchase of this machine, reading on the net you understand that many people talk about it without owning it, I think that one of its big obstacles to the spread was its very high initial list price, but bought at the right price it is really a great product, I shoot normally freehand and clearly sometimes making me take my hand I am punished, the sensor so dense does not forgive, but when you put it in the right conditions churns out magnificent photos, I come from a 5D Mark II, but the jump is really high, the noise, even raising the ISO is always well manageable, especially with the software that are there today, I use the Topaz Denoise, the file size allows you to crop and have more photos from the same shot, maintaining a very high resolution, with lenses such as the 24-70 f4 and the 16-35 f4 we get married, like the 70-200 f4, I am very happy with this product.

Pros: Sharpness, build quality, ergonomics

Cons: Burst, buffer, high ISO seal, battery duarata

Opinion: I have been a happy owner of this gem for several years and I can only confirm what has already been said by many other users: the images produced by this machine are really special. In optimal light conditions and with the right lenses, the photos are truly phenomenal: sharp, defined, beautiful colors etc. Obviously there is a but: all this definition involves many compromises in terms of responsiveness (the frames per second are few by today's standards and become even less once the battery goes down), the buffer is particularly limited and the hold at high ISO is what it is, but on the other hand the files are really "important". In addition, praise to ergonomics, which in my opinion is really at the top, in short, holding it in your hand even all day is a pleasure. In conclusion I would like to say that this is a special camera from many points of view and as such it is necessary to reflect if you were going to buy it. Of course, I believe that the majority of those who today go to buy a 5dsr know very well what they are facing and for these people I am sure that this camera remains the best the market can offer.

Pros: Definition, sensor sharpness, dynamic range, holds very high ISO.

Cons: Nothing.

Opinion: I went from an 80D to this one, making the leap to full-frame... What can I say, another world! Another approach, though. This camera returns photos of impeccable quality as long as you know how to shoot in certain conditions, so you have to "think" before shooting (a bit like you did with film). Do not think of using it freehand in low light conditions because it will emphasize even more your mistakes. The micro-shake is around the corner, if you do not use the necessary precautions. It tolerates even very high ISO and a dynamic range that allows you to distinguish many shades in the transition between shadows and light; the 50 mpx make the difference in the crop (sometimes I crop even a fifth of the entire frame without losing quality), but be careful: forget about simply good optics, otherwise it would be like mounting poor tires on a Ferrari! You will see the difference only with excellent lenses, otherwise - here too - the defects of the mounted lenses will be amplified. I use it with Sigma Art series and Canon L series, and I tell you that it churns out files of a remarkable definition, files that can be managed even with PCs a little old (like mine). I learned to use it, and the more I use it the more its potential comes out, it is an extraordinary photographic tool that requires a certain hand to make the best! From the naturalistic (despite the burst of only 5 frames per second) to the macro and landscapes, there is no area where I have disappointed. It was a car a bit snubbed compared to the famous Mark IV, but as far as I'm concerned it has nothing to envy to the majority of SLRs in circulation!
