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!

Pros: all

Cons: nothing

Opinion: This is an LA camera. After trying and possessing many, I decided that she will stay with me forever. The only drawback is the consumption of batteries, especially in live view, the sensor is very energivore, but honestly it does not matter, because the files it gives are like paintings, I have never seen files with a similar definition and quality, but what is even better are the colors, superb! Every time I shoot with this body I am pleasantly surprised even by the speed of the af module which is very precise, even more precise than my 7D II, which I sold after having it side by side with it. In naturalistic it is perfect, it allows incredible Crops and if you do not need to croppare you get a file with crazy details, I call them delicious, because then you get used to continuing to croppare on every detail of the photo to see "further" and enjoy the immortalized scene better. At first maybe it is difficult to use, you have to know how to use it, but even at high iso it has never given me problems, not even of micromox as many decant, probably without having even tried it thoroughly! Even with dated optics it gives exceptional results, indeed I am often convinced that it gives it a second life. The best machine ever produced by Canon in my opinion, and in the opinion of many colleagues.

Pros: True resolution without sharpening, build quality, ergonomics, customization.

Cons: Lack of built-in speedlite transmitter, requires uncompromising optics (forget anything that is not fixed optics or L-series), if you have no video claims anything else.

Opinion: I delved into that full frame take. I was undecided between 5D mkIV and 5Ds/5Ds r; not that I didn't like the 1Dx mkIII, but I discarded it at the start so I didn't have to sell my kidney. The 5D mkIV I discarded almost immediately because I wanted a more extreme reflex, more shifted on the pure image resolution. Let's start with what are proclaimed as its flaws: micromosso and moiré. I come from an experience born with film on FD, then Eos 450D and Eos 77D. For economic reasons I have no stabilized L optics and I have become accustomed to shooting freehand with the 77D and the 70-200 2.8L. The APSC density of the 77D is significantly higher than the density of the 5Ds r (crop APSC 24mpxl VS. 19mpxl), so if you get used to a dense APSC you won't have micromox problems. Also consider that the mirror movement of the 5Ds r is cushioned and the mass of the machine body softens the vibrations a lot. Moiré: I photographed buildings with perforated sheet as a coating with different zooms, distances, inclinations; fabrics, grids, etc... Engaging for now I have not been able to see moiré, surely it will pop up at the least opportune time, but for now it has not presented itself except in cases visible to the naked eye. Take away these doubts, yes, maybe it is a bit compressed as a dynamic range and the has high iso noise that with 50mpxl you have to wait... On the other hand, flagship Canon (1Dx MkIII) has less than half the resolution just to better tolerate this problem, manage a low 16-point filter and afford to record 14 RAW/sec. It's a choice, it's not a quick and easy machine, but it gives satisfaction to the maniacs of resolution and nuances (finally I shoot panoramas and the foliage is not kneaded). I took a RAW, removed any post-production correction and it's more resolute than the 77D without that annoying forced effect of sharpening; defined and soft at the same time as for those who remember it was Fujifilm Astia 100 on 6x6. On both tests I used the 24-70 2.8L II at f5.6 and the 5Ds r , being less dense as a sensor, also showed fewer defects than the images recorded by the 77D. So look at the new super-resolute APSCs because they will demand extremely defined optics, you will see defects even in the most emblazoned optics. In the menus a lot of customizations, very useful and that should put on all models, is the minimum speed of click under which the sensitivity is automatically varied (which can be forced within a predetermined range). I read that someone called it a defect the lack of a touchscreen; yes, it's convenient, but then you should orient yourself on a mirrorless. At first when you set the reflex it is a bit of a mata to use sticks, keys and wheels, but it is a reflex: the eye must stand of the viewfinder and this body has all the necessary commands on the buttons. The only flaw for me is the lack of an IR integrated transmitter for speedlite that forces me to use one of the two flashes as a transmitter over the reflexes subtracting it from the scene. In 2020, any PC higher than the fifth-generation Intel i7 handles RAW shots in tolerable time, of course if you do 50 levels, masks, filters, etc., maybe you need a good graphics card or reduce pxl after the development of the RAW. In conclusion: do you want uncompromising resolution and soft nuances, but not kneaded? It's your reflex. Do you want to make videos or take home the safe shot even with optics not "top"? choose another model.
