Canon EOS 5DS & Sigma 50mm f/1.4 Art sample pics (results are spectacular)

The folks at Reviewed.com got a beta sample of Canon’s EOS 5DS, the 50MP DSLR that competes with medium format sensors.

Having such a resolution monster asks for a super sharp lens. What better choice as the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 Art lens, one of the sharpest lenses out there and a pixel peeper’s delight. All sample pics were shot with a beta unit, in RAW, and later converted to JPG using Photoshop CC with minimal sharpness enhancement. All pictures can be downloaded full size. The Sigma 50mm f/1.4 Art is the lens PetaPixel called “stroke of genius“. Pixel peepers enjoy!

See all sample pictures at Reviewed.com. Spoiler: the results are spectacular! The EOS 5DS delivers, and Canon is now leading the megapixel race.

Canon EOS M3 review (What Digital Camera)

wpid-eos_m3_black_f002.jpg

What Digital Camera posted their review of the Canon EOS M3. In the conclusion:

There’s no denying that the EOS M3 is a huge improvement on the original EOS M1. To begin with it’s compact and impressively well made, with a control layout that makes it a pleasure to use.

[…] The camera’s autofocus speed is a huge improvement on its predecessor, although it does still lag some way behind notable competitors.

Image quality is also improved, with the new sensor delivering some impressive results including a huge amount of detail and low noise at lower ISO settings.

There are areas in which the new camera is still lacking, however. Notably, the relatively slow burst mode and small buffer make the M3 feel a bit dated […]

Canon EOS M3 Review (Camera Labs)

Camera Labs posted an exhaustive review of Canon’s EOS M3 mirrorless camera. Lots of sample videos and pics included.

From the conclusion:

At a time when many new cameras represent very minor updates over their predecessors, it’s refreshing to discover just how much Canon has improved on the EOS M3. Pick it up and you’ll notice the chunkier and more comfortable grip straightaway. Start setting-up the camera and you’ll appreciate the presence of dedicated mode and exposure compensation dials, along with three customizable buttons. During composition you’ll appreciate the convenience of a screen that now tilts 45 degrees down or up by 180 degrees to face you for selfies or filming pieces to camera. Prefer to compose with a viewfinder? You can now slot one onto the hotshoe. Need more light? There’s now a popup flash. Half-press the shutter release and you’ll notice the focusing is faster than before. Fancy sharing an image? Wifi with NFC makes it a doddle and once you get your photos on a bigger screen you’ll also notice they’re packed with detail and low noise.
