Canon 5ds R release date review specs price rumor

Update

DXO measured both Canon cameras and interestingly high ISO performance is similar to the performance of the Canon 6d performance. The dynamic range and the color depth is even better. According to DXO the Canon 5ds is a little bit better than the Canon 5ds R, surprisingly.

Canon announced two 50.6 Megapixel Full frame cameras for this summer. It is interesting after Nikon released the D800 with a 36 Medapixel resolution Canon announced the 50.6 megapixel Canon 5ds and Canon 5ds R cameras. The difference between the two that for the second camera they somehow don’t include the AA filter. As I heard the filter is there physically, but not counted in the algorithm.

What is this huge pixel count good for ? Landscapes is the first thing I can think of. Canon also announced a new Canon 11-24mm f/4 lens, which perhaps designed with this camera in mind. There is a price of this small pixels though: high iso performance, which is expected to be lower than the other Canon Full frame cameras with significantly bigger pixels. Obviously Canon try to put the best in this camera, but the starting points is the Canon 7d Mk II performance.

Competition: the new Canon 7d II has a smaller sensor but with a same pixel size and resolution at aps-C size, plus a wider ISO range, faster better af system, and a dual pixel af. Interesting comparison. A Canon 7d Mk II cost 1700 USD.
