Perhaps lending credence to reports of an 80+ megapixel high-resolution RF-mount mirrorless coming in 2021, the Canon 5DS and 5DS R are on closeout. Normally $3,499, the 5DS is available for $1,299, which is a 63% discount. The 5DS R is also listed for closeout at $1,499, nearly 65% off.
The new Huawei P20 Pro smartphone boasts what Huawei claims is the best-ever smartphone camera. It has a combination of three sensors with individual lenses, a 40-megapixel (yes!) 1/1.7-inch color sensor (significantly larger than the 1/2.9-inch sensor in the iPhone X), a 20-megapixel monochrome sensor (both these sensors are approximately equivalent to a full-frame 27mm lens), and an 8-megapixel 80mm-equivalent lens for zooming.
This incredible timelapse of the Grand Canyon filling up with clouds is beautiful beyond words. Shot on Canon 5DSR and 5D Mark III cameras, the film captures an extremely rare phenomenon called a full cloud inversion.
Fuji might have a mirrorless monster on its hands with the X-T2. In fact, in some preliminary side-by-side comparison shots, Tony and Chelsea Northrup actually find that the X-T2 is producing sharper results than the 50MP Canon 5DS R!
What is the largest photograph you have ever taken? Ask professional photographer David Bergman that question and he will proudly tell you he shot and produced a 20 gigapixel -- or 20,000 megapixel -- image of Yankee Stadium this year for Canon EXPO 2015. By stitching together 825 Canon 5Ds R images with a resolution of 50MP each, the result is a gigantic photograph with stunning detail.
The 3.5-minute video above is a behind-the-scenes look at how the photo was made.
Abraham Joffe of Untitled Film Works released this 3-minute video showing photographer Denis Glennon field testing the new Canon 5DS R by capturing wild animals in Botswana, Africa (he was likely using the first 5DS R to hit African soil).
Like everybody else, we at LensRentals were pretty excited to get our hands on Canon's new 5DS and 5DS R. There are already a lot of hands-on articles about the cameras that probably have told you more than you need to know to make your purchase decision. Of course, for most of the Canon shooters who read this blog, the purchase decision was just which place you want to buy it from.
It’d be easy to dismiss the new Canon 5DS and 5DS R as 5D Mark III DSLRs with 50 megapixel sensors, but that’s exactly what they are.
But there are some minor, and yet fundamental, differences that separate the three versions of the 5D, to position each model for different photographers. I’ve had the opportunity to handle pre-production units of the two new models to compare with my 5D Markk III to see how well they perform…
