20,000 megapixel image by David Bergman using EOS 5Ds R (Canon Expo 2015)

David Bergman, who was recently made a Canon “Explorer of Light”, shot an incredible project for the Canon Expo 2015. Equipped with an EOS 5Ds R he took 825 photos of the Yankee Stadium, 50 megapixels each, which he sticked together during a long and intensive post processing. But the result was worth the effort. The final picture has a resolution of 20,000 megapixel, making it the biggest picture of a live event ever shot! The detail is sheerly astonishing.

Bergman also said he was really happy with the Canon equipment.

Check out the video above where he talks about the photo and explains how he did it.

Canon EOS 5Ds R thoughts by Ming Thein

Ming Thein posted the last part of his Canon EOS 5Ds R long-term review. He compared the EOS 5Ds R to the Nikon D810 (and other cameras).

Ming Thein is a Nikon shooter. He tested the EOS 5Ds R, and says:

It is clear to me that neither Nikon nor Canon can claim to be decidedly superior at the moment, each with their own strengths and weaknesses – much like their equivalent lens lineups. Canon lacks Nikon’s new f1.8G primes, but Nikon lacks all of the special purpose stuff and some of the zooms – there is no 17 TSE, for starters. There’s no question that if I were a Canon shooter, I’d be very happy at the moment: you have a tool that’s miles ahead of anything else in the system, can hold its own against the competition most of the time, and can pull ahead if the conditions are right. If I shot only subjects under which I could satisfy those conditions – in a studio, or perhaps landscape or architecture – it would be very easy to justify a complete switch.

And: “Since my glass investment is already F mount, it is with great sadness, I have to bid the 5DSR goodbye. I’m missing it already“. There is more. Considerations, comparisons, beautiful sample pictures. Read the review.
