Canon is Big Nikon is Small, Canon EOS 5DS Marketing Campaign Suggests

Thanks!

This is just for fun. However, it seems Canon is making fancy coffee mugs for the Canon EOS 5DS marketing campaign. Well, the images speak for themselves :-) The “small” 36MP are a clear reference to Nikon’s D800 series.

With a 50MP sensor Canon is again the resolution champ in the full-frame domain (interview with the man behind the 5DS). For a round-up of hands-on reviews see after the next pic.
