Canon 5DsR / 5Ds in 2020? A brutally honest take after using it for 5 years. 

Ironically, both these cameras just drastically dropped in price....

A camera that is good, doesn’t become bad just because others come along.

I've been shopping for a 5DS for a few years. Just picked one up for $800 on ebay with only 1500 actuations. Very happy!

I just completed a shoot for Ralph Lauren using my 5DSr ...... and the editor asked me what camera I used...... and that's a question he never asks...... so the quality in 2023 .......yes, it's all in you style and the how you use the tools !!!!

I’ve owned the 5Ds since 2015; have loved it ever since the day I took my first shot with it. Maybe I’m missing something, but 50 mpxls of goodness in 2015 is still 50 mpxls of goodness in 2021. The image quality of the pics coming out of this awesome camera (low-light shortcomings notwithstanding) still blow my mind after all this time.

Don't forget the reason some dinosaurs haven't switched to mirrorless is that lovely sound of that mirror...

Got a 5DS R about a year ago, a pain to use at first but learn its limits and you will be blown away. The 5DS R now has been joined by a 5 DS. Yes it has its limits but what a machine.

Awesome video Easton thank you. I produce full time for a multi-dealership automotive group and I really love your commercial photography. Clean and polished, and it's nice to know the person behind it is humble and eager to help others grow. Appreciate this so much.

Came for the review but admittedly your voice is very soothing in a strange way lmao. Great insight, definitely helped me a ton in the decision making process.

I purchased a refurbished Canon 5D sR from Canon last week, 1-13-2023, for $1195. It came with a one year warranty, and all the other accessories that came with the original camera. I’m looking forward to using it. Enjoyed your video.

Excellent, excellent review. You really know your photography and it helps educate us immeasurably. Also, your portfolio is exquisite.

While I have picked up the R6 and probably the R5 in the near future, I wouldn't think of letting my 5DsR go. The image quality, can not be beat. The features of the newer mirror are fun and extremely handy and with an adapter, the older glass is adaptable. We grow and go forward, but we ought to think twice before we completely let go of the already tried and true. As with the author Easton has indicated, I too have been shooting my 5DsR for 5 years as well. An idea he has brought to mind, why not by a second one (at the new ridiculously) low price.

Outstanding video. Love the tone and the honesty!

Nice review. Today (2024) I still use the 5Ds R. I purchased a refurbished (new) camera from Canon directly, and so far have had years of good use. I am angry that other manufacturers have made better options, including mirrorless. In summary, it's poor in low light situations (stage performances, etc.), and it takes a lot more work to get great pictures. But when all parameters line up correctly, you can still get great images. In general, high megapixels seems to mean poor low light sensitivity. Today, if you can get a good deal on a healthy 5Ds(R), and you have good quality lenses, and you don't want to switch to Nikon, Sony, etc., then I think you can get some good use out of this camera. Unfortunately, today's photographers have switched to quiet mirrorless cameras, so the shutter noise can be annoying in comparison. I still think Canon is not on the forefront of innovation.

Thanks Easton for this video. I concurred and bought a used 5Ds recently. Image quality was great. Enjoying taking photos with it now.

I was using a Canon 80d which is a good camera, with a nice dynamic range, touchscreen etc. I wanted to update to full-frame...I liked the canon 5d mark iv but the body was 2000 dollars. So...I saw the canon 5ds in 1249 and I just bought it together with a 24-70 lens. I can not be happier. The quality of the photos compared with the 80 d is just ANOTHER world. Even in 6400 iso is A LOT better than the canon 80d. And I can say, i am super in love with the 50 mg because the capability of cropping is a HUGE HUGE advantage I took photos for stock and book covers and I can take any part of the scene and still have a super high-quality photo. For me, that flexibility is incredibly useful. And I also use bracketing for extreme contrast situations so it is no problem with some lack of dynamic range. Of course, you can have better cameras, but you have to pay really a lot more. If you want to upgrade from crop sensor, this camera is incredible, the quality and color rendition is really amazing. I don't have any more touchscreen nor wifi and not articulated screen like on my canon 80D... who cares? at the end, which is a matter...is the quality of the photo. I don't miss those features AT ALL. With the 700 dollars, I saved for not buying the canon 5d mark iv I bought a good glass. I just want to share m experience after two months of using my Canon 5DS. And many thanks to you Mr Easton, you open my mind to make the best choice. I wish you all the best. Ruben

Thank you for this excellent review and insight. I'm considering the body now that it's even less than $1,000USD (December 2020) as a third (specialized) body for portrait and landscape work. Also helped me choose b/t the s and sR.

I've been looking for a new stills camera after switching out my Sony A7iii for a BMPCC6K. I WAS going to buy a used 5D Mark III, but made an offer for a 5DS for $750 USD. Couldn't be happier. Great video!

As someone who is looking on upgrading (finally) and have invested in EF L glass, this video was exactly what I needed to tell me to hold out a bit longer for a next generation.

I just picked one up this year, to replace a GFX50s, and while it generally does that, at the pixel level I feel that the D800 I used to use is ahead. But apart from that, I am simply in love with Canon. I got it used for about 1400$ so I am floored.

omg you have an youtube channel? I love your work dude!!!!!!

brilliant review , i owe the beast i know it . But seriously its the best u can vouch . Man your car photography is just as brilliant as it can get .

The 5dsr is a bargain with current pricing. Can buy lightly used or grey market for not much more than the cost of new 850d/Rebel t8i

B&H Has made this "complete ripoff" $1299.00 for the 5DS, and $1499.00 for the 5DSR suddenly VERY attractive! You were ahead of your time! Cheers!

Welcome to June 2024 - Just picked one up used on eBay for $1,100 USD. Full kit, original box and materials, a few additional bits and bobs. Shutter count 55K. A few trivial scratches on the body. I've got the 5DMIV as my primary day to day work horse and some Canon L glass, which turn out lovely images, as well as some Zeiss primes that are just gorgeous. I shoot mostly landscape and portraits, so low-light performance, low ISO ceiling, crawling fps, etc. don't really bother me. And I shoot to print in large format, so the resolution really matters. As Easton alluded to, this is very particular camera body intended for a narrow audience. I appreciate the very thoughtful and details analysis - including the frank honesty of the presenter. I don't do car photography, but, holy smokes..., that portfolio is stunning. Gorgeous work! Cheers, J

Thanks for the vid. Thing is, there's never a "what camera value" question. It's always a "what camera value in the context of what it's built for, so far, my main camera has been the 5DsR and haven't nudged anywhere else ever sice 2016. I shoot jewellery and product and only until the release a7rIV did I find reason to do a comparison. So far, none of the bodies you have mentioned give users who don't compromise detail and resolution specifically for their line of work give more detail and better sharpness than the 5DsR. I do own other bodies, the 5D IV is one of them when I need video work but as I mentioned, the 5DsR is strictly made for studio work, hence the weak ISO performance and the laughable video capabilities. The only 50mp sensor I've tried that makes me change my mind is that of the FujiFilm GFx 50s but again that's a twice more expensive combo. I use Sigma ART primes for everything and honestly 8k 30p and 73k 960p are of no interest to me for what I do. This is what I meant to say, it's built for a specific audience.

I like my 5d mk iv for most work. Was looking for higher pixel camera for doing large print studio work and thought that the sr was too price rich for an older model. Luckily, B&H is now selling the sr for $1,499.00 USD. It'll be a great holdover until Canon comes out with a high megapixel photocentric camera.

Purchased 5Ds New £880 and a 5DsR New £1080 for shooting DPS uk magazines in July 2020 and amazing kit after 1DsIII / 5DIII / 5DIV / EOSR, the latter I kept for gimble filming alongside C300MKII. I tested the 5DsR and 5Ds against the EOSR and it still blew the EOSR out of the park pulling back shadows. For 'Now' cost they are amazing and doubt I will be moving from them until the R5 is £3k ish and the issues are resolved. If I am honest I have always changed camera near the end of the incoming cameras lifetime as the firmware is at its prime and the niggles are sorted out. Look at the R5 8k heat issue? I mean still today almost all of my none broadcast clients want 1080p and yes shooting 1080p from a 4k sensor is amazing. Nice film and its now my official bedtime sleepy listen thank you.

I bought the 5DSR in 2019 for under € 1400 (new). It's a fantastic camera even in 2020, and the image quality at low ISO values continues to amaze me. However, it only convinces with high-quality lenses such as 85mm 1.4 IS. For me a typical Canon workhorse, which, when used correctly, delivers perfect results. For a price of less than € 1400, I think it's still a recommendation if you want to stay true to the EF system.

Bought the gray market 5DSR 1 year ago for $1800 USD and it is brand new with no issues. Did a full shutter count and pixel test and there were no bad pixels and shutter count was about 25 which is normal for Canon testing. Had to set movie from PAL to NTSC but that was it. Excellent camera and almost everything I shoot is landscape so buffer speed is a non issue. In addition Amazon has 2 year warranty you can buy that is easily as good or better than Canon's warranty. I shoot in live view so in essence it is mirrorless when shooting.

Great review, awesome pictures!

Thanks for the review very informative. So if I buy the 5Dsr now would that make it a new camera or a 2015 camera, what difference will it make.

Excellent review. Analytical and with real experience. I'm looking at buying one and getting back into photography

Thanks for this, very useful. I have always looked at high detail in my cameras, but I recently downgraded to a Sony RX10 M3 for the video capabilities. But I am thinking of buying the 5DS R for £1500 excellent second hand and selling my one. The video isn't as good but the photo quality is incredible. What is it like in low-light? and What do you think of this swap?

Picked one up for $1,500 from B&H. Hadn’t thought of getting one, but at that price it’s nearly a steal.

To guys watching it in 2024, i just bought this camera, to switch from canon 90d aps-c, why? Portrait, landscapes, street photography- for my only quality matters, i don't use any inteligent autofocus system, sticking to center dot focus 99% time. Why i switched? I genuinly believe that some day i will hit a photo that really matters to me, that somewhow could land on fine art photography and i believe this camera gives me the quality that I won't think about my equipment anymore, just focus on some day i do a photo that is worth 50 megapixels or even more. Now it costs about 1k dollars used, has EF mount compatible to amazing line of lens which are getting cheap used, i think that this year is the best to buy this camera

Useful video thank you. Landscape shooter here, trying to decide what to upgrade to from my failing Canon 5D2. The R5 and R6 are both calling, but with one serious eye on budget, the 5DS brand new for around £1.1k is a tempting proposition.

First off, I appreciate your breakdown of the 'value' of the 5Ds. I expected a more technical review, but your observations are very helpful in my decision making processes. The reason I am researching the 5Ds is that B&H announced a huge drop in price for this model in October. Currently advertised the 5Ds is 1299 USD with a 2400 USD "instant rebate". Canon must have figured out the 5Ds/r will not sell for their previous asking prices and as you mentioned in your video, the Sony A7R iii is a more than qualified equal to the 5Ds and is currently selling for around 2300 USD on Adorama. Currently I own a 6D M2, but have wanted a more capable body for long landscape exposures in low light. I have lusted after the 5d IV for it's premium optical quality and modern features such as touch screen (which I really like), but the price seems stuck at 2499 USD. The 5Ds has a pathic max of 6400 ISO and of course no touch screen. It will be a tough decision.

Just ordered a 5DSR for 1500 bucks from B&H (brand new and authorized, not gray import) to replace my 6D from 2013. Still on back order but I can wait a week or two. I mostly do landscape (for fun) and never video. I also have a good collection of L lenses so this thing should be good for another 5-7 years. The 5DS is even cheaper at 1299.

I just noticed that the 5DS R is now on sale for $1499 so I came to watch some reviews on it. I have a 1DX that's getting long in the tooth and that's seen a lot of use. I've just purchased a Canon R5 and will be moving forward with that system for now. But $1500 seems like an excellent prices for the 5DS R, especially to have it on hand to use my EF glass down the road when my 1DX has given up the ghost. I know you thought Canon was unrealistic for its pricing on the 5D SR when you made this video but what are your thoughts now that the price is only $1500? Would you buy the 5DS R at this price?

Bought last month grey a 5Ds with the TS-E 24mm. Love it. Next month going to get the 100-400 mk II and I'm all set for landscape, cityscape, architecture, only on tripod. A Fuji XT30 takes care of family snapshots.

I am still snapping with my 5D MKIII, it has always run like a sewing machine! Been looking at upgrading, and not sure if I will get a 5DsR or wait to see the new R3 when it comes out. Might even save a bit more and go the Fugi FGX100 route. Hard to consider because I have been shooting on canon since 2004.

I just bought a used Cannon 5Ds for it’s 50 mb. And I’m learning to use it. And I’m happy with it.

Man those photographs are just amazing so sharp and vibrant... so what do you think about that camera and Astro photography as well as landscape which I know it does an awesome job with that

For me, the camera speaks for itself....the video left me wondering what lenses you found most usefuly for the awesome photos you published ??? I had the 5D back in the day, but now I can find this beast for around 1200. So: nothing in my lens inventory would fit it so then: Canon glass? Sigma Art glass? Thoughts ????

I've been thinking on upgrading my 6D. I've been toying with the idea of getting the 5DSR. My main photography focus is portrait (Family, outdoors) and the occasional landscape for my own pleasure. I would like to know if you recommend me to get the 5DSR or go for the Mark IV. I'm happy with the DLSR system as I've been using it for a long time. The R6 is also in my range for a purchase. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Hi ?Easton, I've never come across you before, I was just looking around to see what's up with second/hand canon stuff. I have a 7D, AND 7D MkII, love both of these cameras, They do what I want them to do, and they work fantastic for my needs. Wildlife, Landscape etc. When I come across the 5DsR and you started talking about it, I agree with you about the BullShit price that Camera Stores are pricing them at. WAY, WAY, WAY too much for a 6 and nearly 7 year old camera. (Me - Australia in 10/21). Hearing you talk with so much experience with the model I'm looking at, and you gave a no BS advice and comparison to other models. THANK YOU, for having the balls to actually tell it like it is. I suppose I'm a NO mirrorless camera bloke as if sold all my gear, maybe 3-4 grand aus, it's NOT worth me doing so. But,,, If I could get a decent re-fund or so on my gear to get a 5DSR I'd get one and i'm sure I'd be tickled pink to have it. I do like the 50meg size, plus full frame, plus my lenses I have will fit the 5DSR, so all round, I'd be more than happy. I'm just really thankful that I was able to come across your 12th old video giving some dam good advice from a bloke that has actually made a living and lifestyle from the actual model camera I want. BLOODY THANKS for your sharing here, I hope to get to your site and have a look at your pics and know that they are what I could eventually have from my own (eventually) 5DSR camera. Thanks again, Teddy, :)

An erudite, insightful presentation which I found invaluable. Would be interested to know which cards owners of 5DS R use.

They (spearheaded by the big RU-vid channels like TOny and Chelsey and the rest) criticized this camera big time. Then, as always, we learned that true professionals actually have been using them and loving them. They wanted Canon to be amused by cock-pitting SOny and Canon - but sorry, but Canon doesn't play anybody's game. They have their own game. And they have the last laugh. 5Dsr is going to be my first full frame camera even though it is years old. And why? Because that is what I want.

I owned the Canon 5dsr for 5 years and just sold it. The Canon R5 with RF glass out performs the 5dsr in terms of what can be resolved in frame. It's almost unbelievable.

I am looking at the 5Ds ($1200 now) because of the 50mp and almost as important OPTICAL VF !! something that is critical for tracking fast small objects (rockets) The Sony A7RIII can be had for a similar price ($1200 to $1500) but I assume being mirrorless its a EVF and not an OVF ?? I can't track rockets in an EVF the lcd resolution and lcd ms lag time is just a deal breaker. Suggestions?

Hi Easton! Great video. Amazing images. Has your opinion changed now that 5drs is around 1500? How does 5drs low light capability measure up to 5dmark 3 and 4? I need a back up for my 5d mark 3. Any suggestions?

Picked up the 5Ds used in excellent condition in 2023 for AUD$1600 to add to the 5D collection...Not a lot of use as yet but loving the results so far.

Easton pls help me: 5DsR or EOS R? What would you choose for your type of shooting? Best. Seb.

I just watched this a second time as I've found a 5DS with

This video comes at a great time. I'd be upgrading from a 5dm2 and I have quite a bit of Canon glass so really, what else is there to do? I've considered the options and what sells me with sticking with Canon is CPS. CPS is just such great value imo. The only thing that concerns me is I'd be looking to pick up a grey market version so if CPS won't service it, well, I dunno. Either way, a 5ds on ebay for $1100 seems like too good of a deal to pass up.

It's interesting seeing this video 2 years on. A 5DS R for £1200 second hand seems amazing value for money - for studio work and landscapes.

A really interesting vlog. If I were a proffesional photographer I would most certainly have upgraded the "tools of my trade" over the years because that's how I would be earning my living but as a keen hoybist photographer, it's a very different story. My two main cameras are still DSLRs, a Canon 5Ds and when I need speed, a 7D MkII but of course along with these goes the patiently built up collection of L series lenses. As a lightweight "carry option" I have a mirrorless system built around Canon's M series and from that, know the many advantages of mirrorless especially if you want to do video work however, would a brand new camera make me a better photographer ? I suspect not though buying into the R series or Sony/Nikon/Panasonic would certainly make me poorer so for now I will stick with my 'old DSLRs' and just think about all those hand me down EF lenses that just might come my way at affordable prices :)

Canon 5DSR is a true beast. I recently bought a brand new one. I had one and sold it since then I have missed so I bought one before they have gone. I will keep this one forever. It's perfect for architecture and landscaping. Also some studio or commercial works. Not a good option for sports or wildlife does not make sense.

I enjoyed your video. I first saw this last year and yes I thought the prices for this camera from USA retailers was outrageous...so I bought a gray market Canon 5Ds in September of 2020 for $1054. I got the 5Ds instead of the 5Dsr primarily to avoid any moiré and it is still very sharp. Today you can get a 5Dsr for $1499 at B&H brand new - they have no 5Ds cameras left in stock. If I were a professional, I would get the R5 because it would be more versatile, flippy touch screen, better dynamic range, and no need to calibrate the lens to the body, just to name a few. I hope Canon will continue to try to stay on the leading edge of technology. I have so many EOS EF mount lenses that it would be a pain to switch to another brand.

Hello Easton, what do you recommend for wedding and portrait photography? thank you

I'm going to upgrade my 5D4 soon as i'm getting more and more technical jobs right now, do you think it's wise option to spend 3x the price of 5Ds(R) for something like Fuji GFX50R? I'm shooting mostly on TS-E lenses so the image circle is enough, but for tripod use is it really that big of a difference?

I'm considering purchase of one, anyway, used. And it's not for the specs, but because it's an oddball in Canon's inventory. It stands out from the rest. And I like cameras that are different and perhaps even 'flawed' in some way. Image quality, ergonomics, esthetics, character are properties that override more sensible decisions over and over again in our daily lives. Whatever makes sense doesn't make it a more appealing option all of its own. Isn't that also why you still got it too, in the end?

in B&H it is now $1499 is it a good buy in this price range..? please suggest

Thanks I guess this video helped make up my mind. Been looking to acquire a DSLR again after working with ML for over a year. Not bashing ML cameras at all, love my G9 and A7iii and will still use them for work. Just not feeling the same fun when using ML for free time photography Cheers

Must ask what lenses do you use. And do you tether to a monitor or other.

I found a 5ds r used with a low shutter count at a great price. I can't wait for it to come in.

Hi! I’m looking for another camera body and I want to stick to Canon. I currently have a 6D MK ii, and I mainly do wedding and event photography. I was planning on getting the R6, but the 5DS R at $1500 is very tempting. What do you suggest I should buy?

best camera for landscape,real estate which i ever had.I used in even in commercial photo and 360 panoramas and absolutely beast.But it really need L lenses.Otherwise coverage of resolution is not covered and can be kind of blurry. I skip to this from Canon 5DmarkIII and change is really big.Have 5dsr for 3years now.What i lack only is more modern functions,but this is one of last DSLR coming out from Canon.Seems that Canon close now their research of classic DSLR and just only focus on mirrorless.But unless this works,i would be happy with.

What is a good camera for professional (mostly portrait) photography for a beginner who wants to make a living with it (while budgeting) ? Thank you!

Just a guess… The high retail price of the 5DSR may have to do with the amount of cameras sold. Perhaps they haven’t yet sold enough to have made their original investment back. The 5DIV has probably outsold the 5DSR, to where after making their desired profit point, Canon could trigger discounts and price adjustments.

What lenses did you use here?

First I was looking for 2nd hand EOS 5D Mk IV but a EOS 5 Ds R with original grip the BG - E11, appeared for € 1250,00 both in excellent state (studio use only). Shuttercount 50K. Gonna use it for landscape photography / timelapse and use some of my dad's FD lenses. Doesn't go without a tripod and a (wireless) remote / Canon App. Love you dad, mis you.

holy crap, there you make such good photos, what are you doing on youtube, mate, with all the youtube pro camera noob reviewers??? Thank you for that video!

I just sold my pair of 5d2 for $450 each, and replaced it with two 5DS brand new from einfinity for $1050 each, I think it is so worth it with the pricing of half 5D4 that I want originally to buy. Of course my dream would be to get R5, but that's totally out of my budget.

amazing-- thank you for this video its explane well way I have got one :). I love the color grade of you pictures ... do you have a video about how the edit and tip for shooting to get that quality? thank you

I was looking at a 5Dmkiv but there was no decent discounts even though the R5 and R6 had been released. I bought the 5DS off CCC warehouse for $1100 usd. I would love eye autofocus but I can just work a little harder to nail the focus. Can’t complain about the image quality

Fabulous video just bought a Canon 5ds in the 🇬🇧 for £800 new unbelievable value and the image quality is up there with the so called flag ship sonys and nikon, why buy them when a 5ds does exactly the same quality and its for peanuts. Bang for buck it can't be beaten. Thanks Adrian

How’s the colour output on the 5DS? Vs for example the colour rich 6D? I’m tempted ☺️

$1499 @ B&H right now but not in stock. I’m getting another to back up my current 5DSR and Sony A9

Recently got the 5DS US model new. For 1k. I'm a landscape/environmental landscape photographer in Utah. I absolutely love it!!! It's a beast!!

great video by the way! I looking for a camera for architectural photography, that I could also use with tilt-shift lenses, what would you recommend today ?

hi sorry to bother you. i have canon 5dsr and I'm thinking of getting ATOMOS NINJA V 5. will it improve 5dsr video? thanks

All I know is nothing beats Canon in image rendering quality out of camera and editing the files that are not as huge as SonyR IV ; which requires upgrading to a better PC. If you're shooting stills, it's does a phenomenal job from what I've seen. Faster is not always better. Canon colors are the best

having purchased the 5ds used with bundle of lens - sold same for the 5dsr with bundle of extras i ended up paying about 800.00 us when parted out the extras for a lightly used 5dsr. at this point i see no reason to "upgrade" - 100% shooting landscape and vacations - more than happy to invest in glass.

Just looked them up they are running from 800.00 to 1,100 now (Sep 22). So finally a bargain?

If you have the option to buy a brand new 6d mark ii or 5dsr used.. which one would you buy?

I just picked one up for 1500 on B and H, and I'd be upset about everything you've said except I have so much in EF glass and I'm switching from my 5d Mk II, so this is a jump up in every direction.

How does the 5DSr look when using Zeiss Classic lenses like the 85 & 50 Planar? I also have the 35 f2 distagon and plan on getting the 135 apo sonar. The R5 is a bit pricey right now.

i still like the 5dsr i cant see upgrading to anything else. i have L glass. the 5d m4 seems good to me if it drops in price at all. i will hold off n the mirrorless jump. have an xpro2. still like the look and feel of the images i get from the 5 dsr and im not sure its worth updating everything to the m system.

Which one is better the 5ds or the 5dsr?

i bought a used 5dsr in 2022 for $1000, but it was mainly because i love the 5D bodies. I had a Sony mirrorless and i felt that it shows that they are made in China

cant believe its been 5 years.

Good stuff bro

Hi: I just bought the Canon 5DS camera and switched from JPG to RAW. But the photos won't transfer to my 128 GB SD card to transfer them to my computer. WHY? Thank you.

I'll gladly take that 5DS off your hands for free and give it a good home ;) I'm still using the original 5D from 2005. But yeah for professional purposes, it's more economical to upgrade to something newer to keep up with the times, especially when a well paying shoot or two should more than cover the cost of a new camera. Not to mention the new RF lenses are pretty good, performing better than even the L lenses on EF. With all that has come out, if you're a Canon user, you're looking at Canon, and only just recently has Canon really started to compete and bring viable replacements. And at this point if you're going to change lens systems, might as well go with Canon again rather than Sony or Nikon, because at this point, they're all pretty much at parity. Which means the only determining factor left is familiarity with Canon's design style and menu systems and such.

Hey is there a work around for the lack of mic jack? It's on sale but still might just get a nikon df now that prices are down . different camera but beautiful

I love my 5ds and 5dsr cameras. However, spot on on pricing but Canon has'nt made a true flagship mirrorless yet, they are getting closer though. When they do, ill buy it and retire my 5ds and 5dsr. Until then I will continue to wait for the next leap in mirrorless in two years.

Paid exactly $1400 for my 5Ds yesterday. I didn't see the need to burn the extra $450 extra only to have a red "R". The R is absolutely pointless purchase for literally one feature. This is a freakin BEAST! I have my Sony A7R and A6000 up for sale now. I miss Canon and I don't care about mirrorless although there are some pluses. This freakin thing has features I can't figure out so I have to youtube all these extra features but man, 50mp.. I took a shot and you can see the INSIDE of the pores this thing is so great.

I just got a 5DsR from B&H for $1,499, an upgrade from my 77D, T6, and XSi.
