Canon EOS 5Ds and 5Ds R review by DPReview

Photography authority DPReview posted their very exhaustive review about Canon’s EOS 5Ds and EOS 5Ds R.

From the conclusion:

Without a doubt, most photographers don’t need 50MP but some do, and this places the 5DS and especially the 5DS R firmly in medium-format territory for studio and fashion photographers. Canon has an excellent family of glass and accessories that pros trust: for example, Canon’s radio-triggered TTL flash system (600EX-RT / ST-E3-RT) is simply unparalleled in its versatility among Speedlites. Landscape photographers are always looking for more resolution for larger prints, and Canon’s excellent new glass in the 11-24 F4L, 16-35 F4L IS, and 70-200 F2.8L II potentially make this camera an easy sell for nature shooters. But the 5DS/R don’t exist in a vacuum, and that makes them a bit of a conundrum. Read the review…

Do not listen to people who smashes anything Canon just for the pleasure to do it. The EOS M3 is a little gem with outstanding image quality, very good build quality, and a decent set of features (our review). It’s good enough for me to be my new travel camera, instead of the heavy [shoplink 14246]Canon EOS 70D[/shoplink] and/or [shoplink 7139]EOS 6D[/shoplink].
