Canon EOS 5DS & 5DS R Technical Review by Tony Northrup (and thoughts on lens resolution)

Tony Northrup does an exhaustive technical review of Canon’s new EOS 5DS and 5DS R (preview videos). There is a lot of talk about resolution and how much resolution modern lenses have. He does some math do compute a “perceptual resolution”, i.e. an approximate figure of an optic’s resolution, to get an idea on how well a given lens could do on the 5DS and 5DS R sensor.
