Canon EOS 5DS And 5DSR | Medium Format Resolution In A Full Frame DSLR

[@bobair2]

Here where I live,I purchased my 5DS back in June of 2015 and have used it ever since. I love the quality images I get and the latitude for crops is excellent.

5DSR is a fantastic camera.

[@ullrichgebhardt2737]

The 5DsR lets the 24MP stuff look silly. It is incredible. And the body is outstanding. Made to last forever.

[@michaelktori5178]

I have gone mirrorless but would never part with my 5dsr, just love it.

[@photosinthehouse]

Completely agree with you! I shoot Sony professionally but I still have hung onto my 5DSR. This camera is built like a tank and essentially is a very good professional-grade body. Sure, the dynamic range is not very good and the autofocus is lacking by modern standards. But if you know how to properly expose and focus manually then neither of those things matter. Landscape, real estate/architectural, and studio photographers should not overlook the incredible value of this camera today! The 5DSR was MSRP $3900 when it came out in 2016!

[@EnidAgnusDei]

Do you still have and use one of these? I own them both and they are amazing, love them for landscape and nature.

[@acmdv]

No unfortunately I don't, I found the dynamic range lacking for the kind of of photography I shoot. If I were still shooting a lot of studio work then yes I would ideally love to have the 5DS or 5DSR but I have moved on to a more documentary style which they aren't as well suited for.

Even if I shoot Sony since 2017 I still own and use my 5DsR for some work because the images coming out of that body are absolutely gorgeous ! The only thing is that you have to set the exposure perfectly because of the bad dynamic range and I personally never shoot above ISO 640 with it ! IQ at ISO 800 with the 5DsR is pretty much the same as at ISO 3200 with my Sony A7R3(A) !

Exactly what I want in a video aboht a gear. Lots and lots of sample.

[@afzalshaikhshahmahammad]

Which camera produces sharper images --> 5ds or the 5dsr??

[@acmdv]

Theoretically the 5DSR but you really have to pixel peep to really notice the difference, also the lens you use has a lot to do with sharpness too.

[@Cotictimmy]

If you’re paying £1300 for a good used 5DSR, then it’s worth considering a Nikon D850 instead (45MP with more dynamic range & less issues.)

[@acmdv]

@@Cotictimmy I've just checked and now the D850 is a more expensive than a 5DSR in similar condition and remaining shutter life. The thing that puts me off the D850 is the XQD card slot.

[@Cotictimmy]

@@acmdv Yes I agree 5DSr bodies are cheaper on eBay than I'd thought. Decent D850 bodies still seem to go for £1350 U.K. upwards - whereas D5Sr bodies are £400-500 cheaper.

[@jiridvorak]

Why are all photos in here so strange shady? Even it´s some filtr, i don´t think it add good thing to final look. Just passing around.

[@bozoc2572]

I think you push any modern camera for shadow retrieval, you are not exposing your photos right. Exteme shadow recovery looks bad on every camera IMO.

[@bozoc2572]

If you feel like you need that extra dynamic range, I think medium format is the way to go. The full frame dynamic range peaked with DSLRs and the differences are small.

[@acmdv]

The problem is that all these photos were shot at ISO 100 and the latitude you have at that ISO on these cameras is significantly less than a NIKON D800/D800E & even a Fujifilm X-T3.

[@markrigg6623]

Canons had a particular problem with magenta colour noise, their shadow recovery is noticeably worse.

[@richschmitt100]

The audio is too low. What gives?

[@acmdv]

I have had some sound issues where it's quite loud on my computer so I turn it down only for it then to be too low when exporting videos. You will be able to see in later videos I have fixed it. So for now just turn the sound right up for this video.

[@richschmitt100]

@@acmdv Got it. Thanks for clarifying.

[@scotthullinger4684]

Try 100 megapixels in a medium format size sensor. That's FUJI. All others fall behind yes - FUJI.

[@MoD_Master_Of_Disaster_]

What are you trying to say?

[@lensman5762]

These are decent cameras with a high count sensor. But unless you are locked in with Canon, my recommendation is to go with a Nikon D850. Superior AF, superior iso performance, shutter that can easily go up to 300000 actuations, much higher burst rate etc, etc, etc. There is a reason why you don't see many on the used market mainly due to the fact that they didn't actually sell very well.
