- Canon EOS 5Ds R: The Pros and Cons of 50 Megapixels | In this episode photographer Dustin Abbott takes a real world look at how 50 megapixels plays out. He examines the pros (cropping ability, maximizing resolution, etc...) along with the cons (processor load, need for higher shutter speed, etc..) to give you a realistic view at whether you need that amount of resolution.

I am having a lot of success with the 5dsr shooting weddings. I always shoot handheld and I often shoot in low light. I haven't seen issues with the 5dsr with my 200mm f/2 at shutter speeds of 1/200 or 1/250. If I have a really good technique I happily will go down to 1/100 with the big 200mm lens. As far as low light, sure there is a little more noise, however the noise is small and there is a lot more latitude for adding noise reduction and sharpening to the files. I have the 1dx2, which has the absolute best sensor Canon has made, and I can make the 5dsr images look just about as good as the images form the 1dx2.
Good feedback.
One of the things that I like about Dustin is that he makes you think! I want to buy a camera really bad but don’t know which one? Dustin helps by cutting through the excitement and lays out the pro and cons on cameras, I’ve been watching him for about 4 or 5 years now, my suggestion is to listen to him & take notes. I do comparisons on an excel sheet and many many times you will come to a smarter choice if you do. Thanks Dustin, you don’t know it, but you have saved me mucho dollars over the years!!
Thanks for the nice feedback.
Just bought one in 2021 for a really good price. I use it as backup camera in my wedding photography.
I only use the 50mp as an option that I can use when I need it. For most part I only use the Medium Raw settings / 28 megapixel
And that's the great thing about having that option.
you should use Capture One Pro for these bigger files. it's made for medium format cameras and can easily handle the files. ;)
great video.
I have a copy, but I've never really used it. Interesting info. Thanks!
Like your videos very much Dustin! thanks for putting all your effords in creating these videos. I learn a lot from them. I am using a 5D4 and a client loaned me 5DsR, what a joy!
It's a pretty amazing camera.
I have owned this camera for the last six months. I love it.
That's the story from many 5DsR users. It's a strong camera.
Upgrading all my glass was and continues to be an expensive exercise though
True. It definitely shows up the weaknesses of certain lenses.
This could be amazing for macro. Thanks for the video Dustin.
Definitely. All of that resolution is great...if you stop down and get a lot in focus.
Hats off to this gentleman for such a scholarly video! So much information and such humbleness!
Thank you very much
Dustin I like your videos. Among all those reviewers that go around the main subject you are among the top good reviewers that has least of wasting times for people. Thanks and keep up good works man :)
Very cool feedback. Thanks!
I really like the crazy about of detail on the portraits... I would get this camera if it was more of a hand held shooting camera. But if I was a studio photographer I would not use anything but this.
There is definitely a ton of info for portraits.
ordered the beast today! going to monument valley next week. can't wait to put this baby to test!!!
That's a great place to break it in.
@@DustinAbbottTWI what is your experience with memory card for it? some people say CF cards are supposed to be faster but they are not in some cases. i have both will try them out. see what happens
They definitely are - particularly because this camera's SD slot is limited to the bandwith of the slower UHS-1 SD cards.
Dear Dustin
Thank you for youe reviews on 5DsR. Your point of view convinced me to get this lovely piece of equipment for landscape and portraits.
Enjoy! It's a pretty amazing camera.
Only 2 things would have made this camera perfect for photo and video: 4k video and a better autofocus. Everything else is amazing. No need for better ISO, colors are amazing (did not see such colors in other brands or cameras), ISO50 is fantastic.
That's fair
Hey Dustin. Thanks for the very comprehensive review. I purchased a 5Dsr a little while back and am getting a lens kit together for this. I just watched a review you did for the Tamron 70-200 G2 V Canon's equivalent and from what I gather, the Tamron lens will be ok on the 5Dsr as you'd used it on a high res Sony camera. Thoughts? Thanks you
The Tamron is a high resolution lens and has good image stabilization, so it should work fine.
@@DustinAbbottTWI Thank you! Appreciate the speedy reply.
Hi Dustin .. great review as always... I own a 5DSR and you nailed your review perfectly. It’s a great camera if used correctly and to what you want it to do . It is a camera intended for what it was designed for .. it’s not a wildlife body with the slow frame rate .. it’s not a great video camera .. but for stills it’s an awesome camera in resolution terms .. when it comes together it’s unbeatable for image resolution and quality .. use high end lenses .. I use a Ziess on mine for landscape photography .. excellent combination . Wildlife I use a 300mm f2.8 .. using as you mentioned a faster shutter speed is the secret to sharper images . It’s very unforgiving as you said for motion blur . But in a nutshell I am pleased with it .
Years later it can still produce some of the best images in terms of detail if used to its strengths.
Dustin Abbott indeed you are so right . Dustin has does the still performance rate in resolution to the new Sony 7Rmk4 ? That apparently has a 60 megapixel sensor ?
@@DustinAbbottTWI The big store in Manhattan has it for $1499. Totally just ordered this beast before they are all gone.
Hi Dustin, how are you? I do hope your are doing well. After a month of deep trial and error, I am overall very happy with this camera. I use mostly Adobe Bridge for photo selections, it is really fast, and I don't have more than 16 mb of ram. The lens I love is the tamron 85mm, the last lens, it's so great! Regarding resolution, the tamron 15-30, and the canon 40 mm, with those 3, things are easy,even handheld. As you said, lots of detail, even from a far distance. As I never had a ff body, this is a good first experience. And I used it with very low speed. But , I never go further than 800 ISO, if not, noise becomes unbearable... Thanks for another great video !!! Regards from Uruguay.
Enjoy!
I owned 300D,20D,7D,5D3,and now 5DSR.I use it mainly for real estate and 360photo and even for portrati and weddings.Its absolutely stuning.Yes it´s 5years old,and Canon already stopped production this year.It lack many fucntion against new systems and mirrorles..But still it´s best thing you can pick for mainly static things.Auto focus is much better than 5D3.Only negative is really big files (RAW) and not so fast shutter ar 5D4.
I agree that (under the right conditions), this camera continues to produce some of the best resolution images I’ve personally seen.
On sale get em while they last $1499....... a steal.
Great video! I've been watching so many videos on this camera and you really nailed it with the pros and cons!
Glad it was helpful!
So did you purchase it? If so, what do you think? 5Ds is down $1299 and 5DsR is currently $1499 on Canon Website. I only recently came across this camera
Definitely agree with you here: the 5ds is amazing, but way too overkill for a lot of photographers, besides the ones you mentioned. As a technological stand point though it opened a new frontier though and it's exciting, but you need a whole new logistics on the work flow to handle that power!
That's definitely true.
....in lightroom there can be problems... You have to use something like Capture One - now version 10 - they are the photo software behind Phase One - 100 MP Cameras...
Excellent, once more, Dustin...
Bar the reduced-stop margin for diffraction onset, the referenced cons are the ones I diagnosed right from the time the specs were announced. The workflow bottle-necking, then, is something that only someone who has little to no experience in digital photography post-production could fail to anticipate.
For dedicated purposes, like product or tripod-assisted landscape photography this is a fantastic tool. For a general-purpose photographer, like myself, it would be a major PITA.
Truth be told, Canon, themselves made this perfectly clear from the get-go. It were only some misguided net pundits who heralded about this being something it simply is not.
I think you are right. This is specialist tool, though many (including myself) have found it to be a solid all around camera, too.
The latest update from Lightroom has made it much, much better at dealing with larger files. The speed of my workflow with pictures from 5Ds has improved significantly now, and the larger files bother me much less than before. I use a 2 year old iMac.
My particularly machine hasn't seen quite the boost you describe. I've got an i7 machine (Dell XPS 9100) with 12GB of RAM and my primary drive is a 1TB SSD. I've got a solid video card - Nvidia GT 640 card with 2GB of DDR3 memory - but I still experience some pretty serious slowdown with preview rendering and just general period hangups in Lightroom. Photoshop seems to handle the files better overall.
+Dustin Abbott Haha, I guess beeing used to 50 megapixels on the older Lightroom, makes the upgrade look more substantial. It is way better than before, I think, but a smaller 20 megapixel file works faster, obviously. I have never tried to build 1:1 previews though.
Thanks for the video, as always a great contribution. Two things I want to mention. First, the filesize is huge but considering using CaptureOne instead of Lr it is not at all a big drawback. Don't know how they manage it and I am not getting anything for saying that, but it just doesn't bother. The second thing is, standard lenses are really performing worse than on 20-24 MP. I can only recommend buying premium glass for this camera. Again, i am not getting anything for mentioning that the Sigma 50mm Art just blew me away. Of course the Milvus 85mm as well, but thats the kind of investment to expect.
+Martin Schlichenmayer I have a copy of CaptureOne but haven't used it. Definitely using the best lens you can afford is recommended!
Thank you friend
I would love to see a retro spective review now after not only you have matured as a reviewer but also the tech
Hi Pieter, I totally get what you are saying, but it is near impossible to go back and look at older products when my review release schedule is backlogged several months as it is. There's too much to cover...
Great stuff. Greets from Croatia.
Thanks. I have a number of viewers from Croatia who identify themselves periodically!
your right 50 MP gives the user plenty of options with a few downsides- but the options side wins i think, Cropping etc
+tflynn124 I agree. If I didn't want to wait to see what the 5D4 offers I would grab one
I'm a nikon shooter with a d800 and d7000 the 36 mp on the d800 suits me fine although the resulting files are large as well
Great Review and very helpful insights. Thanks so much.
Glad it was helpful!
thank you. it's interesting and useful review.
Glad to help out.
This video is fascinating and really really well done. Many thanks!
Thanks for the nice feedback!
Nice review Dustin. As for me- I want to wait until the sensor DR improvements move up to the next iteration of these 5DSr bodies. By that time, the improvement should be even better:)
If you're happy with what you have, that's probably a good policy. I would prefer Canon to perfect the 50MP sensor performance than reach for even more MP.
Great info Dustin. I was thinking of a 5DSR (like many probably, tempted by 50MP!), and you confirmed 100% my concerns. Eventually went for the 1DX Mk2 and it's fine for even A3 (plus I don't have to upgrade my PC). Keep up the professional reviews mate - well done.
Glad to help out, Darren. Hard to fault getting a 1Dx II
Just Wow, fantastic informative video. Thanks Dustin
My pleasure.
Thank you, good info. I'm upgrading to D850 first and then Z8x or Fuji GFX in the future mostly that I like to crop to 50% for getting HB pan lanscape like pictures. Im using a D700 and a D800E today. I'm using an old compter that need to be upgraded. I will increase Memory and SSD space for the new cameras.
Enjoy!
I’ve shot several Weddings with my 5dsr now I do use it as a backup cam to my 5d lll.
I use the 5dsr for portrait shots of my couple or family shoots during weddings. I also print off my work to sell and the 5dsr as never let me down...
It's strong resolution has held up well.
If one of the camera’s strength areas is landscape, would the diffraction at f/11 impact such images? Or is it negligible? Cheers for all your work
With any high resolution body, diffraction arrives earlier. You will definitely see some softening at F11, though not to an unusable level.
Excellent job Dustin...(We just were talking about your 5D4 Final Review video)....Awesome camera, but don't think I'd get what I need at weddings where it is dark many times...I really need great low light performance....Well done...
Philip
I think the 5D4 is the right tool for wedding photographers. Very versatile, and that improved AF performance in low light seals the deal.
I agree the 5D4 is a better choice for weddings. Now if Canon would just listen to us and release a version without the AA filter, many of us would buy it in a second. I appreciate your thoughtful reviews and comments. Have a good weekend. I'm off to a wedding later today near NYC...
10:32 Nailed it !!!
Hi:
I just bought the Canon 5DS camera and switched from JPG to RAW. But the photos won't transfer to my 128 GB SD card to transfer them to my computer.
WHY?
Thank you.
That's a technical problem I've not heard of. That seems like something to address to Canon.
thanks for letting us know what happens with a large filesize
My pleasure.
it gives to think because I am looking for a box that has a good definition of a good autofocus for marriage landscape or studio with a good rendering, the 5d mIV is not his point gort because I have a gh5 ... I think the 5dsr is a good alternative when do you think? after the iv has a good autofocus ... I'm lost :-(
So it's 4 years later now... would you still recommend this? Or is there a mirrorless option that offers similar resolution and features in the same price range? My interests are portraiture and landscape, not video, and my budget's in the $2000 range. I appreciate any suggestions or advice.
If you can get a 5DsR at $2000 (that would probably have to be used), it's strengths remain. The new Canon R5 has many of the same strengths and few of the weaknesses, but it will cost close to double your budget.
5DSR is possible take for 1250USD (new). Definitely 100% buy.
just see www.e-infin.com/eu/item/2642/canon_eos_5ds_r_digital_slr_camera_body_only
It´s legit site,you can find many positive reviews,pay by paypal,even i orderd there twice..
And yes,i picked 5DSR one year before..and its really great camera.
I would love to have the 5Ds to pair with my 35 f2 IS. With the resolution it would be like having a 35-70mm f2 IS zoom lens, but with better image quality than any of the current 24-70s on a 20 MP FF body.
Have you found that the framed-per-second change (increase hopefully) when switching to a smaller M-pixel mode such as 28? My main body is the 7d Mark II, and while I know the 5Dsr is nowhere near as snappy as what I have now, I am seriously considering it as my landscape option.
The 5Ds R is pretty much set up to deliver it's performance at its maximum settings, and I haven't really noticed a frame rate improvement when moving to lower settings. That's essentially true of all cameras, though.
Great review!
Thanks!
thanks for this video, Dustin! you really opened my mind to super high megapixel shooting :). I'm probably never going to be able to afford something like that but it's interesting to find use for the extra megapixels!
Definitely. It is a very different reality from most cameras.
+Dustin Abbott It's a new way of shooting - and I feel like it's just like getting a macro lens or tilt shift!
So would the Canon EF 16-35mm f2.8 or the Canon EF 16-35mm f4 be good glass for the 5DSR?
The 16-35 depends on which version (MK III is the only one I'd call acceptable). The F4 lens would be fine.
Great video. It seemed like a pretty cool idea to spend a grand and get 50 megapixels. Now I know there are preparations to be made first. It would be a shame to spend that much money only to find out your computer won’t process the files.
It helps now that computers in 2023 (with more RAM and faster processors) are much better situated to process these images.
Great explanation of the advantages/disadvantages of a high MP camera. I shoot with a Nikon D800E and sincerely hope Nikon does not follow Canon's lead with the next upgrade to the D810. Looking to upgrade eventually but 36 MP's is more than enough for almost anyone's photographic requirements. Give me a higher frame rate, better auto focus, and most importantly better high ISO capability and I'll be a happy camper at 36 full frame MP's for the rest of my shooting days. Thanks for all the time and effort put into in your informative vids, much appreciated Dustin!!!
My pleasure, Steve. I agree that the 36MP in the D800 variants is plenty!
Nice review as usual. Like your image galley as well, the photo of the cat for example. The resolution does me think about my Sigma Merrill camera's. I think the 5DsR is also more a camera for specific way of making photo's, where the 5d4 is more an all round camera, as is the cheap 6D.
I agree with your conclusions. The 5Ds R is far from a one trick pony, but it's chief calling card is absolute resolution. If that's what you need, there still isn't a better 35mm format camera out there.
A very technical lecture[good for us]. btw- I have never expected the more pixel count the higher shutter speed you need. Where is the borderline it does not count?
I can tell a bit of a difference even between the 20MP 70D and the 24MP 80D. D800 shooters have been aware of this for a while.
i've subscribed to your channel and more determined to by the 5DS or 5DSR just when you said there is an option where you can shoot at 32 megapixels.. thanks sir.
That's for JPEGs. There is a 28mm MRAW setting that is very useful.
Dustin Abbott
how different the mraw from raw?
evertuber
I didn't notice a big difference, myself. Some said they found dynamic range reduced, but I'm not sure about that.
Dustin Abbott
that is a general issue that i wanted to find the right time to ask about, i know Sony cameras provide better dynamic range than Canons generally.. is that correct?
evertuber
So I've been told. I don't shoot Sony, so I can't say firsthand.
the dsr is still a good device? because the quality seems better to me no? thank you for your help
I still think it offers the highest actual resolution of any DSLR. Image quality is excellent.
I was thinking of buying one now, but I don't think it's for me. I like the 5DMK4 better!
Fair enough. I got some good years out of the 5D MKIV
I would really like to see images shot with the 5 DS R in black-and-white to see how the images compare two images shot with my Pentax 6 x 7 film camera and then the scan negative .
That would be interesting. I don't know if anyone has done something like that, though you'd think that someone has!
I really hope the 5d mark IV will have 28-32MP. I've been checking three Canon rumours sites daily for the last few years and it seems certain that the 5d4 will have much higher dynamic range, 4k internal video, dual pixel AF, RGB metering, and possibly a touchscreen, GPS and Wifi. The biggest unknown at this point is the megapixel count. I hope they don't go for 24MP as Canon currently does not have a real answer to the D810. The 5DS/R are certainly good, but only for resolution (not dynamic range/high iso). I really don't want to wait for the 5DS/R successor...
28MP is about as much personally as I am interested in seeing the 5D4 go. I'd rather a 24-28MP body with improved everything else.
This is a great camera, truly, but I'm really happy with the megapixels of the 6D and 5D3.
That's kind of the point. There are some real benefits to high MP count, but it isn't necessary for everyone
Hmmm, no you haven't convinced me I still want one.
Have you considered doing a video on a printer? Can't find any reviews on your site about them.
I currently use the Canon Pro-100 (the market is flooded with them these days!) - it does a great job, though it can be a little "thirsty". My clients love the prints I make for them through it.
Here in Euroland it seems canon was quick to pull the off of the market, the pro 100-s can still be had for +-€500 (+-$800CAD) a far cry from the deals you can get in the US where you get one for free when you buy a camera
Please I have a question. Is 5Dsr a video camera?
Yes...though not a great one by today's standard. Video AF is terrible, and it is limited to 1080P.
excellent review Dustin sir
I owe a 5dmk3 n was thinking of upgrading . but you changed my thoughts.
I am happy with 5dmk3
thanks a lot
I have both. I use them both equally as much. For studio work or slow moving work, 5DS R. For literally EVERYTHING else, 5DMIII
great technical video! I own a Canon EOS 5DS and I love it for the cropping possibilities.
The only thing I find distracting about the video is that your lavalier mic is upside-down. ha ha
That's the recommended way to wear it as it gives a more even result.
@@DustinAbbottTWI sound is excellent
As Canon seem to be going all in on mirrorless, I am contemplating getting the 1DX3, just to get thát beautiful 0.76x optical viewfinder, before thát kind of cameras goes extinct.
But the camera I REALLY want is an 50mp Eos-1DSr, with a decent ISO 1600, I won't need more than thát....
-But it is probably never going to materialise, sadly, so 1DX3 will have to do....
It's hard to say if DSLRs will actually go extinct, but certainly all of Canon's development energy seems to be going mirrorless.
Is there more noise with higher megapixels?
More apparent noise, yes. At similar resolution, no, but for practical purpose (native resolution) the answer is definitely yes.
When will you begin to review nikon and mirrorless8 gear
I have no plans to add systems at this time. This isn't my full time job and I can barely keep up with the release of Canon and third party gear.
Hi Dustin, Very nice review of Canon DS-R Have been trying to decide on a full frame dslr ... want that medium format quality... Actually thought about the Fuji GFX 50 but want to stay with 35MM dslr for ease of use and lens selection and cost... Medium Format systems expensive..IE. Blad, Phase One, etc... $50K-$70K no thanks.
Both Canon and Nikon full formats do look attractive. After being a newspaper and freelance/portrait photog for most of my career i'm semi retired now and have need for the larger MegaPix camera. There is a clear diff in crop sensor images vs full frame, and some of my new projects will require large files for large wall size prints.
(As an example... Used my crop sensor Canon and photog friend let me use his older Nikon D800 full frame for an aerial assignment....Shot both in RAW, amazing how full frame holds the details in the highlights esp, so much better than crop sensor) I was sold then! And what a differnce when printed large 36"x48".... A very clear difference! Crop sensor couldnt compare.
I have and do use both Canon and Nikon, but leaning toward this Canon full frame. (thought about the Sony as well, just dont want to have to buy new lenses and like the feel of 35mm DSLR vs smaller camera bodies)
Think i would/could be happy either with this Canon or Nikon d850 file size. Both good systems.... Think the Canon lenses focus quicker... just boils down to personal choice i guess.
Your reveiw was helpful... Thanks
Jack
Glad to help. The Nikon is the more complete camera of the two. That’s probably what I would choose
@@DustinAbbottTWI Interesting you say that! You have a video on the 850?
A few, actually. You can see them in this playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLwWFV2kake9E5t5VERUJu5Lur4U4zSnfG.html
Wow I was just about to purchase a 5ds but you have just talked me out of it . I never use a tripod for my portrait work so it probably won't work for me
I didn't use it much handheld, either. I found that using lenses with IS/VC/OS helped, as did just keeping the shutter speed up a little higher.
I own the 5DS and handholding it is best using medium raw, which is still 280 megapix. but if I need the extra megapix I have it.
Dustin I was wondering if you could help me, so in October I bought a 1DX second hand from a camera store and it worked perfectly but then 2 months later I noticed it would get dirt inside the viewfinder assembly box I just ignored it even though I didn't like it, then in December I bought another 1DX this one brand new and after a few weeks it also managed to get dirt inside the viewfinder box so now I got angry and brought it to CPS they said it would be very hard and expensive to clean that so I left it again.... then a month ago I bought a 5DS and it too got dirt inside the view finder box however it happened the day I got it, I barely switch lenses and usually keep a 24mm 1,4 ii and 70-200 on each so I'm sort of lost at how this keeps happening to me, any tips or advice on what I could do to stop this from happening?
That seems strange to me. The 1Dx is one of the most robustly built cameras on the planet, so I'm surprised that you've had that issue repeatedly. You're sure it's not just on the mirror? I find that using a little squeeze blower can do wonders at getting bits of dust out of your field of vision.
Dustin Abbott Pretty sure, it doesn't show up on the final image and I can only see it while looking through the viewfinder, I i mean I'm not babying my gear when I'm out in Iceland or in the Arctic circle taking pictures but as you said I expected the 1DX to be able to not have problems like this especially after just a month of use, with the 5DS on the other hand i'm just in shock.
The other place to look is on the underside of the focus screen. You can easily access that and the mirror and check them. It's rare to get something actually in the viewfinder box.
it would most likely be on the underside of the focus screen, you can buy a new screen very cheap and it comes with the tool to remove it without touching it....
The perfect stalker camera lol 😅
Pro: crop neg: file size, iso, low light
Fair enough.
thanks sir.. really like you
All the best
I’m a canon user and after seeing what the Nikon d850 can do I’m in the process of switching to Nikon I’ve never really been happy with canon it been more of a disappointment using canon so I’m switching to Nikon
I hope you're happy. I didn't love either the ergonomics or the color science of the D850, myself, though it has a great sensor.
I thought Med RAW gives you 28mp, not 38?
Hi there, that's correct. It is 28Mpx.
Brilliant and Practical
5Ds is wall hung canvas king
That's a, ahem, unique take.
ua-cam.com/video/HhLhhyXkxSk/v-deo.html Medium RAW isn't 38 megapixels, it's 28 megapixels . Great points for pros & cons Dustin!
Great camera but sometimes it is just too slow. As a wedding photographer one of the things that bugs me the most is that I need need to wait 5 or more seconds for the camera to show the images I just shot , regardless of the RAW size - full,medium or small & I'm using sandisk pro 160Mb/s cards.
You're right - my bad! Thanks for the feedback.
Yes I understand, you didn't even post your specs, also having a fast gaming graphics card helps nvidia. Adobe takes advantage of them a lot now.
I'm using an Nvidia GT 640 card with 2GB of DDR3 memory.
Sorry I meant as getting review units look into that you have a terrific personality that is not generic and you do great reviews. Yeah your a pastor also god bless you. Get yourself quadro graphic cards then they will utilize Adobe more. Canon take forever to release new stuff it's just the third party manufacturer's that come out more frequently.
Thanks for the info. I probably need to start building a new workstation.
Lots of “pros” little cons. If you understand the camera’s limitations
Some of those limitations are the cons :)
Unfortunately Canon, in contrast to Nikon, which respects more the professionals who have the Nikon D850, has not presented any new firmware. He could very comfortably. She generally doesn't take care of her models. We have invested a lot of money to buy them. By force he made a new firmware for the 1dx mark iii. Could also be for the canon 5dsR. At least for digital noise and focus. Too bad. We feel cheated.
I'm not sure that firmware could have done a lot here. This was a camera whose sensor maxed out the available technology of the day. A lot of the rest of the camera's architecture was pretty old.
No, motion blur does not show up more on 50mp
say, if a motion smear took 1 degree of rotation (say, 2% of the entire frame), it would still take 2% of the entire frame, be it 8mp or 58mp.
so, if you don't crop, there will be no difference.
and there is always the advantage of denoising 50mp vs, say, 26mp. the individual noise blotch is smaller, thus details shine through better.
Noisewise, at iso 12800 this camera is better than canon eos rp and canon eos r if you shoot raw and then process. the jpeg engine is a bit too old, so yeah it undermines high iso performance for jpeg shooters vs newer gear.
tha camera has more pro's than con's
the real downside is dynamic range. it is a joke in 2023.
BUT i'm still getting it VS canon eos RP and R, because it is better for the type of shooting I do
Wow, I've extensively used all of the cameras you mention (and many, many more besides), and this is simply untrue.
@@DustinAbbottTWI if you are right, then the following should also be true:
during astrophotography, if stars move during long exposures, the higher megapixel camera should have a longer smear than the lower megapixel camera (measured in % of the frame, not megapixels)
In 2020, I have had it with the lack of detail. This camera is what I imagined what digital photography would be after a 30 year hiatus from film photography. Now if Canon would improve they ISO and dynamic range on this body, it would dominate! Still going to get this body though. Great presentation!
I'm hoping that a camera like you describe will be coming to their mirrorless lineup this year.
Diffraction sets in at f/6.7 isn't all that bad tbh
Relative to most cameras, however, that's pretty early.
Actually the best lens for Canon 5DsR is Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM, recording to DxOmark
I don't think I stated the best lens for the 5DsR in this video. The 300L II is one of the best lenses on any camera. The closest I have to that is the 100-400L II in my own kit, and it performs wonderfully on the 5Ds R.
I assume dxomark lens scores is as rubbish as sensor scores
:)
People don't always want to see flaws they have...most people ask you to hide there bad body parts.
That's true, but it is easy to reduce resolution than add it!
i7, 32GB DDR4, and two SSD in raid, w/ a backup spindle w/ a NAS backup. Only way to handle these files.
Ouch :) That's a mean machine!
A7R, D800, Pentax 645 D for landscape .. I just got frustrated with LR and PS for the sluggies on working with their files, so I finally went all out to get a system that works for me. The workflow is a 1:1 import render as well and some catalog optimizations in LR to make it worth while. It's just being prepared for the work flow is all. But ya ... landscape requires the megapixel and willingness to deal with it. I'm sure any medium digital format shooter (professionally) has something of this sort. I'm only an extreme hobbyist, but I sell enough of my larger print stuff on metal ... I want the largest images I can get and it's reality. The only suggestion I would make .. is do a dual import -> one to local machine catalog, but the second to the NAS 12-16TB solution with Western Digital Red Pro drives w/ a hot spare is the way to go. Only way to assure of catalog integrity and ability to work back over time.
Get the new intel x99 processors that will help your the best underrated youtube photography channels
That's good to know - though I'm not ready to build a new workstation quite yet!
I use 36.3 mp D800- the answer to dealing w/ average shots is immediately reduce size to 9x6 x 300dpi that is the official industry standard size, ( which most people do not know) then work on it in PS that size ideal for 99% of all uses.
Save original size if printing a mural size or delete it.
That's fine if that's your workflow, but not everyone wants to deal with resizing and having to work in a Photoshop environment.
Am i the only one who thinks thar croping a lor makes pictures look like cell phone taken...
If you need above ISO 6400, you are not getting good shots anyway.
That's not true with many modern camera systems. Certainly not true with, say, the EOS R5.
Lost me at Lightroom
Ummm, that doesn’t mean anything without context
I had 2 5dM3 Huge bag of L-Glass and sold it ALL along with my C100.
Sure Canon is a great camera, Colour scince is loved by all, However having invested OVER $30,000 USD into Canon I can truly say this.
Canon YOU will NEVER get $0.01 from me and ANYTHING I can do to damage your bottom line I will happily do so.
Nox I have Sony a6500 A7R2 A7s2 GH4 Sony FS7 !!! All G-Glass and Cine Lens Preordered GH5 and just ordered today Black Magic Studio Camera X3 and Ursa Mini.
Seriously Happy Where Canon has forced me to go.
Simply PUT CANON are thieving BASTARDS and Nikon are not far Behind
Hail Sony
Hail Panasonic
Sure Sony and Panasonic have there faults, but ripping me off IS NOT ONE OF THEM !!!
What and how has Canon stolen from you, and what can you do now that you couldn't before?
well done. you wasted all that time to be with the trash brand that Sony is. you are delusional, Sony's a numbers game designed to impress people by scoring high on graphs and meme's like dxomark. in terms of producing actual beautiful images, Sony aren't even close to Canon or Fuji. you said it yourself, c o l o r r e n d i t i o n
Lighten up Francis.
You talk to much without getting to the point. Everything you said could have been said in 1/4 of the time... blah blah blah....enough please.
