Canon EOS 5DS r

50Mp sensor for incredible levels of detail February 2015

When you want to capture the finest detail and texture in your images, and retain spectacular levels of sharpness even in large format prints, nothing compares to the Canon EOS 5DS and 5DS R. These stunning stablemates in the EOS 5D line-up are based around ultra-high-resolution 50.6Mp sensors and dual DIGIC 6 processors, wrapped up in a compact body with all the usual 5D build quality, controls and handling.

The critical difference between the two EOS 5DS cameras is that the ‘R’ edition has a low-pass cancellation filter, which removes the softening effect to enable the sharpest possible image quality for world-class results.

Innovations

With such high-resolution images on offer, premium levels of sharpness can be degraded by even slight movements in the camera, at the point of capture. An innovative ‘mirror vibration control system’ uses specially designed cams to operate the camera’s reflex mirror, greatly smoothing its operation.

Summary

Fitted with Canon’s top-quality lenses, the sheer resolving power of the EOS 5DS R is absolutely breath-taking. You can be sure that nothing is left to the imagination and, especially for landscape and architectural photography, the advantages are clear to see.
