Edit: EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R still not available for pre-order at Amazon EU.

This morning we reported that the EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R will start shipping worldwide starting mid June. Now we got the confirmation, at least for the US market.

B&H Photo updated their Canon EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R product pages. It says: “Will begin shipping Sun, Jun 14 (subject to availability)“. Remember that orders will be filled on a first come first serve basis. If you still didn’t order the EOS 5DS or EOS 5DS R, then this may be the right moment.

Canon EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R shipping mid June

Based on what I have been told, various big European retailers are expecting first EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R batches more or less by the end of next week/beginning of the week after. Guess this is valid also for other retailers around the globe, especially in the USA.

Keep in mind that shipping dates may also be delayed because of unexpected issues. However, I am pretty confident both the EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R will start shipping all over the globe from  mid June, with some delays to the last June week for smaller countries or markets Canon considers not a priority.

Canon EOS 5DS R review (Shutterbug)

View Post

Shutterbug review a pre-production Canon EOS 5DS R (with beta firmware). In the conclusion:

What’s missing in this camera?: 4K video and a vari-angle, swing-out (articulated) LCD monitor to give you the feel of a true, 21st century movie-making experience. And, yes, I’d like to see frame rates higher than 5 fps, but remember that we are shooting at the full 50MP resolution. And it would be nice to boost that ISO level another notch—sans interpolation, I might add.

Still, one can’t help but wonder if the 5DS R (along with the 5DS) isn’t an interim camera, as if Canon were saying, if we can put a 50MP sensor inside an existing body, just imagine what we can do if we revamp the chassis and make further tweaks.

Full resolution images available for your pixel-peeping pleasure. Read the review at Shutterbug.

Exploring the Canon EOS 5DS with fashion photographer Quentin Caffier

Fashion photographer and Canon Explorer Quentin Caffier is on fashion photography’s fast track. His recent shoot with a pre-production Canon EOS 5DS has convinced him that he needs every one of those 50.6 megapixels. More EOS 5DS coverage.

The Canon EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R manuals are available in all languages (click here). Good to have a closer look to the EOS 5DS and 5DS R’s features. Canon’s new EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R are available for pre-order:
