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.

Interview with the Mastermind behind the Canon EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R

5ds

Canon Professional Network published an interview with Mr. Tsunemasa Ohara, Senior General Manager of Camera Research and Development at Canon Inc., the mastermind behind the development of the 50 MP Canon EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R.

From the interview:

CPN: What are the key technical advantages of the cameras compared to existing competitor high-resolution DSLRs and medium format cameras?

Tsunemasa Ohara: In terms of megapixels, the EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R are almost the same as a medium format camera and offer the same levels of image quality too. The key advantage from an EOS perspective is that handling and mobility is much better than a medium format camera. This is a major advantage with our product because it is smaller and lighter and can be used in a wider variety of situations.
