Hugely impressive image quality (when matched with best lenses and suitable shutter speeds)

No tilt/vari-angle screen, not the best for fast-moving subjects (high shutter speeds essential)

The Canon EOS 5DS is a specialist DSLR, that's for sure, but treated with knowledge and it's a tool to truly challenge medium format. In short, it'll be the studio workhorse that Canon users have been waiting for - perhaps waiting too long, which is...

Full frame sensor, huge detail ; Excellent AF, exposure and white balance ; Extensive features and accessories

Huge file sizes ; Fast shutter speeds or a sturdy tripod and mirror lock-up essential to get the best from the sensor ; No Wi-Fi built-in

The Canon 5DS and 5DS R are superb cameras that resolve a huge amount of detail, beating even 50Mp medium format cameras. A new benchmark has been set. Before you commit to the investment, however, make sure that you have lenses that can match the camera.

Class-leading 50.6MP image resolution Pleasing out-of-camera colors, particularly skintones 61-point AF system with 41 cross-type points 5 dual cross-type, high precision points offer uncanny precision with newer lenses 150,000-pixel RGB+IR metering...

Raw dynamic range limited compared to peers Base ISO images can be noisier than the best of the competition Low light performance limited compared to peers ISO cap of 12,800 (6400 for Auto ISO) feels arbitrary and limiting JPEGs not as sharp or...

Top notch image quality ; Improved build to reduce vibrations ; Swift and accurate focusing

Maximum 12,800 ISO ; The 5D Mark III is better for video

A fantastic piece of kit that any pixel-peeping DSLR owner will get heaps of enjoyment out of.

In terms of camera tech, Canon is to be commended for creating a 50.6MP full-frame DSLR, so it earns our Editor’s Choice. While the near-$4,000 price tag puts it out of reach for consumers, it’s relatively affordable for the type of user this camera is...

Sadly, though, Canon doesn't offer bespoke camera designs to order. The 5Ds is what it is, and for the most part, it's extremely successful. If the 50-megapixel resolution appeals and you're willing to sacrifice a little performance, battery life and...

AF and Metering are both incredibly fast and accurate ; Live view allows you to shoot with the LCD ; Full 1080p HD video capture produces beautiful videos ; Outstanding overall image quality ; Amazing detail from loads of resolution ; 3.2-inch, 1.04...

Very large, heavy camera ; Camera must be in video capture mode to capture video ; No GPS or WiFi built-in ; Battery seemed to go quickly during our tests ; No 4K video capture ; Dual card slots are SD and CF, not the same media (some may see this as...

The Canon EOS 5Ds is a professional dSLR providing and amazing 50.6-Megapixels of resolution, great performance from the dual DIGIC 6 processors and Full 1080p HD video for those looking for more than just still images. Read more in our

Limited to ISO 12800. Not a true OLPF-free design. Omits in-camera Wi-Fi and GPS. Lacks built-in flash.

Conclusions Canon photographers have waited patiently for a high-resolution, full-frame camera body. The EOS 5DS R—and its near twin, the 5DS—are what the company delivered. Our tests show that the 50-megapixel image sensor may be an overkill for some...

Limited to ISO 12800. Optical low-pass filter detracts from detail. Omits in-camera Wi-Fi and GPS. Lacks built-in flash.

Conclusions If you're a Canon shooter after a high-resolution, full-frame body, you've got two choices. The 5DS is the better choice if you often shoot subjects where color moiré can be an issue. These include fashion photographers who photograph...
