Canon EOS 5DS R Review – Verdict
The EOS 5DS R is an extraordinarily accomplished DSLR that offers exceptional image quality in a proven, workhorse design. The 50.6MP sensor offers the highest resolution of any full-frame camera, and has very respectable dynamic range too, although it’s perhaps not as noise-free in very deep shadows as the Nikon D810’s 36MP sensor.
Autofocus and metering systems both work exceptionally well, giving sharp, well exposed images, and the mature body design makes it easy to change settings quickly on the fly.
Together this means the 5DS R is sure to become a favourite for studio and landscape photographers.
