How wonderful are these words. Bravo. Bought a 5Ds in January (2024). I still use my 5D mark I; so this is a major change. As you said, the old school methods never change regardless of the toys. A kiss is still a kiss.
I could not agree more on every single argument made in this video. Being an amateur photographer who used a Canon80D for most part of my life, I shifted to the 5DSR a few years ago & have enjoyed seeing the game change. It's an absolute beast of a camera. Have to also agree that I'm not switching till this one bites the dust.
I have an R5 and several other cameras. I throw up a little every time I think of the fact that I sold my 5dsr. Being the only Canon camera to have no AA filter, it completely smokes my R5. It had the most incredible RAW files ever. I used it primarily for Sports, but my focus did play on your comments, as it was Sports Candids and Composites and predictable action, not fast-focus. I loved the video out of the camera. I loaded in a flat profile that was incredible. It looked so "cinematic". Up-rez'd it looked better than my EOR-R, 90d, and the regular 4k on the r5, as I loved the rendering. I miss it soooo much! Thanks for the video. Love some of your shots btw.
I suppose specs are just that. Specs. In my opinion the 5dsr has the best picture quality and RAW file of any Canon camera including the R6mii, R5, R3. I just like it that much... I suspect it's because it is the only camera that Canon has ever made without an AA Filter.
wild to hear this, for the R5 is really a high-performer! guessing this means your a pixel-peeper as well lol. No doubt a correctly-shot image from the R5 at 200/400% zoom is really pleasurable to look at, but you're saying this 5DSR is a *drastic difference in this regard? Not saying this with any tone of skepticism/doubt, but truly curious. Seems us pixel-peepers are a dying breed these days lol, and always value any input from someone who understands the importance image integrity. Have been thinking about picking one of these up (now that they're sooo bloody cheap) to do some time lapses with. If at all, how often did you find the lack of AA filter getting you in trouble? I find myself in urban enviro just enough that I worry there's a higher potential for moire/artifacting etc with all the different patterns on buildings/roofs etc ... will be mostly using 17 TSE, 85 1.2, 300 2.8 II on it ... when you shot with it, were there any lenses that truly stood out to you, or on the other had, lenses that perhaps didn't work out so well due to how revealing this sensor really is? appreciate your input here! In the oddest way, i'm really looking fwd to getting an older DSLR again, and your comment here is motivating me to get off the fence about pulling the trigger on one of these. thanks and have a great holiday!
@kernzilla When it was in high use, I had no problem with Morai. I had a baseball league with 60+ teams. Baseball uniforms aren't super pattern heavy normally. For regular portraits where there was uncontrolled lighting, like events, I had some issues, but minor. Nothing a little gaussian blur wouldn't help. Very few complete losses. It excels in controlled lighting. The dynamic range/iso performance didn't allow for super shadow recovery.
Great review... as a Canon shooter and having shot all of them, new and old, at this point in my photo journey I prefer the 5D MK III and this 5DSR. I also prefer film. I highly recommend to all those shooting today if you havent shot film to go buy one and start shooting. Todays cameras in my opinion are too 'clinical' and making lazy photographers. There is a ton of talent out there, so before yall go nuts remember that shooting in genres like film or older cameras make you work for each shot. Keep the new R5 or R6 II or A7RV, just pick up an older version and shoot with it as well to polish your composition and skill set. You should be at a point where youre only shooting in Manual mode. If youre not comfortable with that then maybe you should rethink your work flow and consider some time re introducing yourself to photography. Just my humble opinion and I hope everyone has a blessed week and keep on shooting!
Bought my 5DS a few months ago with a 6K shutter count for $625. Some people need the latest and greatest but I’m happier finding deals like this and spending my money on premium lenses.
I have a canon 5dsr and I use it with a 100-400 telephoto lens and a 24-70 zoom lens, both L series and with the telephoto lens I use it to photograph birds and it's a real beast!!!! It's a marvelous camera for me!!!
Nice video. I have a 5dsr and I agree with everything you said. It's the perfect camera for me as well. I don't mind if it's not the fastest camera or the best at everything. I just need it to do one thing, and that's take nice high resolution pictures, which it does.
I bought mine from B&H during the second half of 2022 for $1499.00 after ditching my Fujifilm X-T4 . Probably one of the last few left. It is an awesome camera. It can achieve the same or better results than anything new today, you just might have to work harder to do it.
Fully agree with your conclusion! I have had my 5dsr since December 2015 and am always impressed with the image quality. Nevertheless, I bought an R5 in 2021 because it is more universal with the same image quality. Is that why I am selling the 5Dsr? No, because firstly it is still a top backup camera and secondly the used prices are so low that I prefer to keep the good old 5dsr 😊
Best camera in my backpack for macrophotography, makes the Canon EF 100mm 2.8 and particularly the MP-E 65mm scream of joy! So when using premium light like diffused flashes for macro, this is THE camera you want to have in your backpack. I have the R5 as first choice but the 5DS R is never far away for the comfort of its mirror viewfinder (I find the electronic viewfinder a bit difficult to get used to) and robustness. A must buy!
This is a thorough and comprehensive review of a not so new camera by a very experienced photographer who does not chase after the newest and greatest like most UA-camrs. The Canon 5DSR is still a powerful camera if you know how to use and get the best images from it. Sub-ed and like.
I used to own one of these, before changing to the 5D mkiv for a wedding job I did in a dark church. I did miss the camera. And now I have stopped my 5d4 back to the 5DsR for my landscape images. I tried the new R5 camera but did not enjoy using it. But a plus is with the new battery for the mirror less systems can also work in my 5Ds R super cool
You cannot beat the 5DSR for landscape! We agree with you on that one. The new R-Type Canons are great, but there is something special about the old guard. A mirror never runs out of battery....
If you are a photographer and know what you are doing this is an amazing camera... Ive been using it for the last 7 years for object, advertising, theatre, docu, wedding, events, night and other studio work in really lowlight and sunlight and it has never failed me. Up to 6400 ISO (yes there is noise but what do you expect?) and without problem...
A very pragmatic review of the 5DsRI bought one in 2016 and have never regretted the choice. I only shoot landscape images & the results are fantastic! All of the newer cameras with lot of auto functions are irrelevant, i only shoot in M & RAW. All of your points re focusing, exposure bracketing it’s part of the ART of photography., I love the process…. it may outlive me (68yo) 😎📷🎞
i have both the 5ds and 5dsr, and i love them both! I will use them til they die. What you didn't mention, but what I use mine for almost as much as Landscape and Nature, is studio photography. I still haven't found a camera that does as well for product and studio portraits. Super clear, sharp, and the "limitations" of this camera are non-issues when you are using studio lighting. Definitely not a sports camera, but still so versatile and such amazing resolution. Plus Canon colors. 💖
@@bennykanny Right now, I seem to use the 5DsR in the studio (product shots) and for macro stuff, the 5Ds has become my nature camera (landscapes, woodland, etc. Not much animal stuff). Not sure I actually notice much difference, maybe the slightest bit of detail and dynamic range on the 5Ds, which is why i tend to use it outdoors where I don't have control over the lighting. But honestly youo can't go wrong with either unless you are really shooting things alot that have patterns that might have some moire.
Great video, I have to say that I’ve been trying to get back into landscape photography initially looking for a 5D Mark four, but one of these cameras came up on eBay as a steel price so I went for it, definitely agree with the limitations of the camera as I am at Tour Guide in London and often shoot customers for souvenir photographs, but as far as landscape is concerned, it’s incredible! I have to say I managed to pick up 5D Mark four a great price, and now I have Best of both worlds
Completly agree with you about eye af not beeing needed, I own an r5 and I have quit the eye tracking. I played around a lot in the biginning with the af settings but even if I set it up to case 2 and target priority it still changes a lot to something on the background or foreground after I put the point on the eye I want. Other than mugshots (and even then I had trouble sometimes when I used it) eye af doesnt work for me. I use traditional method and even using large apertures in very dim light shooting candid lifestyle portraits, my images come out sharp where I want them to be, not the camera.
I having been using this camera last 7 years and it been on some rough trails and has never failed. I totally agree on all you said except one aspect, that is the dynamic range, it could be better. I often have to use bracketing to get the contrast in the clouds as well as colour saturation of the landscape. I have used a Canon R3 and enjoyed the extra dynamic range but really missed the resolution of the 5DSR, being able walk through the image and crop the image is important to me.
It is always strange to hear people complain that their lenses don't resolve on 50MP sensor. You will absolutely get more details even out of your worst lens!! Pick any vintage lens to adapt to 5ds r and it will resolve more as opposed to 30MP sensor!
thanks for the review here. thought there might be mention/precautions of lack of AA filter? curious how this treats you in the real-world, and perhaps how often (if at all) you would come across moire/artifacting? we're all so used to this not being much of a factor/issue with modern day cameras, and hoping to understand the potential downside of picking one of these up. thanks
Amazing camera, love shooting with that camera. That said I recently upgraded to an R5, the eye autofocus is not necessary but not worrying about focus let’s me be more creative. Thanks for your input
Shot with the 5R last year. Amazing camera. Totally awesome. But still... Am I going to sell my Canon 5DSR? NO BABAY! Thanks for the response friend. Keep up the good work!
Great video! I am a hobbyist photographer and critically evaluated my own photography. I do mostly still life and macro with, time permitting, zoo photography. I currently have a Canon 80D with 100-400 version II L lens, and I am able to get very sharp and close up images especially with the 1.6 crop factor. When I saw this camera selling brand new for $1500, I could not pass it up at this price. I agree with all your comments about this camera. I was lucky to buy it a few months before it was discontinued. With my L lenses, it produces amazing images.
Michael! You cannot go wrong with this camera! I'm so glad you were able to pick one up. I feel lucky to have used it this beast for the past five years. Happy shooting!
Hhmm, i have this camera too and in liveview mode you have face tracking. With liveview and facetracking the eyes are always sharp, if you shoot portraits (but the AF is slow in LV). The camera is also ideal for wide angle astrophotography because the sensor has a small pixel size. The sensor is well suited because the sample rate is better then sensor with bigger pixel. You will avoid square shaped stars. The lowlight performance is not bad at all. My EOS R is not substantially better. Regards Andreas
Andreas! Your response is awesome! If you have success shooting astro photography with the 5DSR, please share it! I, on the other hand, cannot come out after dark. Beers at 7:30. Bed at 10:0...... what was I saying?
This video had me salivating for one. So that’s what I did. I bought one used. Only has 2000 clicks. For cheap a literally less than 1/3 the price of it when new or R5. It’s supposed to be here within the hour. Now do I buy the 24-70 you recommend in your other video!! Keep up the great work.
Thank you for the video. I use multiple Canon DSLRs for various purposes as a hobbyist. Contemplating a used 5DSR for wildlife photography especially when I need to crop a lot but still want to retain good details and megapixels.
Great video but I had trouble focusing with 5Ds. Could you poease make another video on how to shoot with shallow deprh of field and have a decenr success rate on 5DSR ? Thank you!
I hired the R5 but did not like the flip screen. So swopped my 5D mk4 for the 5DS R love the camera, like having the Anti Allasling filter removed and have 3 cameras in 1 full frame 1.4 crop and the 1.6 crop like my old 7D had. I use it in 30 megapixel setting most of the time & have 50 megapixel on tap when shooting landscapes.
Landscapes are my jam Andrew! I don't even know how to turn on the 30megapixel setting. Technological caveman here. 50Megs. However. Hole. E. Smokes. Best. Camera. Ever.
@@premiumlightacademy well I rounded it to 30 but it’s actually 28M. Just hit the Q button select image quality M- RAW 28M and S-RAW is 12M. I am just really staring in Landscape photography only been doing it for 3 years now
I am considering an eos 5ds for shooting headshots and portraits in a studio environment, and I want to say "thank you" for helping me decide this camera for that work!
I would love to see a comparison between images taken with the 5DS and EOS R3 Flagship under conditions the 5DS is meant for... I want to see the actual pictures. Unfortunately, I don't think anyone will ever take the time to post this type of thing.
I wanted to watch this out of interest. I very recently bought a brand new 5DSR from B&H (August 29, 2022) so I was a bit surprised to see that it has now become discontinued because when I last checked they had a few pieces left with "more on the way" and it was classified as one of their best sellers. I digress, I really wanted this camera to see how far I can push my L (and non-L) glass. The dynamic range and ISO performance are two of the prime reasons why I ditched Canon almost completely in favor of Nikon, even though my 5DMKII at the time was a lower resolution sensor with larger photosites, it still was very noisy at higher ISO or when I tried to recover shadows in a high dynamic range situation. I am still to take the 5DSR out on a shoot, and I'm curious to see how well I can do handheld. I'm also very interested to see what results I can get in a macro setting. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I have a 5DS R and at first, I hated it, however, learn to use it and it really is a remarkable bit of kit. Yes, low light performance aint great but other than that, can't fault it. I have just ordered a 5DS to run along with my 5DS R, only a shutter count of 19727! It blew me away doing a sunrise and the ammount you can crop in is outstanding. The 5DS R produces some very sharp images, the best DSLR ever? for me, not far off at all.
I bought this camera when it first came out to use in aerial photography, which is what I do professionally. In aerial photography, resolution is just everything - Clients want to see a beautifully framed overall image, but then they immediately want to zoom in to the tiniest detail. Sometimes in aerial photography you don't even know what you are shooting a picture of - You are hired to do a progress report on a construction site, but the client will want to zoom in to see the logo on the door of a cement truck to be sure it is the contractor they hired. Lawsuits are frequently resolved through aerial photography, and I have had to testify. Prior to the 5DSr I was shooting analog on 4 x 5 inch film (and I still do sometimes) but this is the first and still the only 35mm-size camera to be able to play in that league. Unfortunately, soon after buying it I became aware of its limitations - as depicted so well in this video. All my aerial work is done in bright daylight and in perfect weather - anything less and it's just not worth the cost to fly at all, and this camera is beyond excellent for this, but when I wanted to start to shoot other subjects - particularly low-light, I realized I needed another camera. I bought a 5D-Mark IV to share lenses and ergonomics, and it is fabulous, but it becomes my "backup" camera when I'm in the air, because the 5DSr is unbeatable. All this to say, mine is a highly technical specialty use case, for which this camera is Summa Cum Laude - best there is, but I would definitely not recommend it as an all-rounder or as an only camera for someone doing lots of different things. Even before I bought it I understood this, and I was always surprised to see people buying it when their use was general and varied.

I remember when this camera’s price cratered. That’s when pros should have grabbed one up. Was told it’s sublime as a portrait/landscape camera using a tripod (no IBIS). If I were a pro, I’d get one for that purpose alone. 👍 Great camera & good video
Very comprehensive reviiew. I wish there was more quality like this available on YT. Can you just tell me if there is auto focus tracking in the video mode. I am hopeing to switch from my 1DX i mainly due to video capabilities.
I use this camera for wildlife photography with a Canon 100-400mm II lens. Although the lens hasn't got the distance of 500-600mm with the 50mp sensor I can pull in and crop the image a long way and when published for the internet you would never think my image was taken with only a 400mm reach and the quality of the 100-400 glass allows this superbly. As for high-speed bursts, if you can't capture a good picture of a bird in flight with a 6-frame-per-second burst you are not much of a practised photographer IMO. I am still producing images on FaceBook that easily equal the quality of pictures taken with some of the latest mirrorless cameras. Shooting RAW and using Photoshop to edit I have no intention of moving away from this camera yet and I would say YES buy it in 2023 it is now an absolute bargain!
I bought dis Canon 5DSR brand new just last week here in Nigeria, I never found a camera that doesn as well for produc especially in the studio portrait. Super clear, sharp.a revolution in resolution and the "limitations" of dis camera are no-issues, one of day best DSLR camera in canon line-up some people need the letest and greatest but I'm happier finding deals like dis and spending my money💰on premium lenses.
Bought one early Jan. 2024. Body had never seen light outside, it was used in studio only. Also not the latest firmware was installed. Price € 1250 including original Canon battery grip BG E11. Recently bought a 2nd hand EF 11-24L F4 USM. Great combo both. Power supply by LP-E6 battery dummy or adapter to a V mount battery (DC plug or USB-C, own both versions). Wireless control with Godox TX with Canon N3 plug. Put all together on a Smallrig rig with lens support. Next job, shooting landscape / timelapse photo's for example The Alps mid Europe. Forgot to mention also the use of an old FD 17mm lens with adapter on the 5Ds R body. Btw don't forget the tripod.😊
5DSR is still Canon's best camera for still images (image quality). End of discussion. Their marketing department won't tell you that and people buy into the BS. Maybe the rumored R5-S will finally outdo the 5DSR and I will upgrade. I passed on the R5 due to inferior image quality.
Great video about 5Dsr, I paid three over thousand dollars when it came out, and now only cost one third of the price, this camera still my work horse produce high-res photo for me and must know how to use it as told in the video, still enjoy seeing through the optical finder instead of the EVF of now-a-days mirrors.
@@premiumlightacademy Thanks. I bought the camera for facades, which will later be printed on large tarpaulins in a 1:1 scale ;-) So the front door is also at least 2 meters high :-))
I have r6 and r6 mkii and i love them beyound belief. Went from 5d mkii to r6 and blew me away. But i have just started macro and loving it alot and find i crop alot, so going back i time to to 5dr just for my macro stuff. I. Hoping the 50mp will really really bring sharpness and help if crop. Wont use it for anything else as r6 and mkii have spoiled me but hoping for macro this will be my macro beast
Hey, I just found your channel and your overview is fantastic. I got mine at the BNH sale about two years ago and have only used it a little but the images are just so nice. It almost feels like film. In fact, I try to approach it as a film camera due to the so-called limitations which I think actually make that shooter. Take better photos.
I have a 5DS and it is my favorite camera. I do use it for wildlife and find it's fast enough for me. I won't upgrade to mirrorless until I am somehow forced to do that. A lot more money for the mirrorless stuff, and I don't see the benefit. I agree that sports is right out with the 5DS(R), but I don't do any sports photography. So, as you said, it's right for me. If Canon still made them, I would probably buy a new one every 8-10 years. But if wishes were horses then beggars would ride.
I use the Canon 5D SR, Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L IS III USM Lens, Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Lens, Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens, Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM Lens, and the Canon EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM Lens. Mostly I do freelance photography in sports, pays pretty good.
Another great benefit of this camera (indeed all Canon full frane DSLRs) is that Canon EF lenses are getting really cheap. A 5D i or ii, some L primes or zooms and one of Canon's EOS 35mm film cameras and all your bases are covered. You can even use the 5D to scan your negatives.
One other possible thing I might have mentioned is camera shake and mirror slap. I have mirror delay set at 1/8 S at that certainly works great in the studio handheld as I tend to move a fair bit when shooting. The slightest amount of shake if very noticeable on that big sensor. Like you it has never let me down and I have owned it since the first came on the market. I don't think it has ever been out of the studio due to the points I mentioned and the low ISO and more light needed to shoot in. Great camera thought and I certainly would not part with it for studio work.
A very important aspect is the question what lenses one uses ... The 5DS R has no IBIS - but with IS-Lenses one can easily select longer exposure-times, to get good pictures even unter low-light conditions. Also a tripod can be quite helpful.
I think I'll have to buy one because I have a Canon R since I like to photograph in Raw but the problem is that the images don't look like these that are too beautiful without problems
I could have bought the 5D Mark IV for the same price as the 5DR and in simmilar conditions. But I picked the 5DR because of the extra pixels and because of the lack of AA filter. I am happy with it so far, but it does however struggle in low light. And of course it would have been nice with the R5 but its on a completely different pricepoint. Also its got its disavantage as you discribed amongs others. Filming is not very important. Its hard to film with non Cine glass anyways, and if you really do want to film you can do it today with your mobile camera that can deliver 4k/120 fps with autofocus.. Sure it does not have the glass for it which makes it less pro but who cares. A mobile phone is also lighter and can be held up high and in different angles. Also GOPRO is also an alternative for that. Unless you are shooting static movie scenes, its hard to use the R5 too for filming. You need a bunch of extra equiment to make it look professional..
The 5ds is perfect for me for landscapes, weddings and anything else outside of the fast FPS requirements such as action. Bracketing and 50mp will ensure the camera will serve me well for many years. I perhaps would prefer lesser file size for everything, especially weddings. I use a 1dx and 7dii for sports and action and not swapping them either. I guess I can use the 1dx for Astro and I'll try later with a bit of moon photography. My only issue is fast eye autofocus would be great, but photography is about skill and that's what I enjoy. The 1dx is loads heavier than the 5ds though.
@@mrmenzies8108 Yes, regularly use RAW M and sometimes RAW S. I was meaning 50mp goodness and small files....the best of both worlds!..ha ha. I love the 50mp and size, but tends to just eat storage. Saying that, RAW M is still awesome.
Thank you for the video, dear author. I would like to ask you - have you ever compared your 5dsr camera with Nikon d700? I have a d700 and 1d mark III. I want to understand if it makes sense to buy a d700 5dsr instead? Will there be a noticeable improvement in the quality of the final image?
Hello thanks for your video because of it and other reviews I decided to purchase one, however, only used ones are available! My concern is the shutter actuation/life which is stated by Canon as 150000. If I find a camera with high count should I avoid it? Also do you know what your shutter actuation count is?
Love this video! Great , honest take. I see a lot more new 5DS available on the market than 5DS R. Would that be a good way to go if the 5DS R becomes hard to get new
Speaking of "eye autofocus", the EOS 3 had an autofocus system based on the shooter's eye. It's an amazing "mind reading" ability and I kinda wonder why it wasn't continued in later models..
Depending on what you do or need, there is no reason to "upgrade" from this camera if you have it. It is completely more than fine for what it is. I have one and some other Canon DSLR's and frankly this is a very specialized camera which most people will not need. I think once you get much beyond 26mpix few need more than that. In fact most people don't really need more than even 12mpix of the original 5D. As for shadows and highlights and such, bracket or choose what you really want. I will say I think the accuracy of the focus on my 5Dsr is better than some of my other Canon DSLR's like the original 5D or the 5DII, or possibly MY 6D. My advice is if you want one get one new while you can, if you can. I bought mine used and it works fine. Don't chase gear. If you think you need the dynamic range, think again, you would probably want to bracket if it comes to that, with any camera. At least for landscapes. Don't make the camera companies rich, their prices are too high already.
I do product photography and I'm upgrading from Canon 80D to a full-frame DSLR. I am heavily considering Canon 5DSR as my first choice due to having 50MP for prints. Is this a good idea?
Very good Question! Every image/video from Premium Light Academy is shot by us. JT, Myself and Ashely, with our own cameras that we talk about. I shot every video/photo from this video with the 5DSR. !!!!!Except the astro stuff. That was not me. Stock!!!!!! I have to go to bed!
R5 Replaces 5DSR. Hummmmmm... Yes! Let's be realistic. The R5 is one of the best cameras in the history of photography! But. . . . . .The Canon 5DSR. Oh sweet history. May you rest in beauty.
Greetings Shree. Sadly, Canon has opted to move forward with their mirrorless camera lineup. And the old dinosaurs are finally extinct. You can still get your hands on a 5DSR though. You can't kill the legend!
How wonderful are these words. Bravo. Bought a 5Ds in January (2024). I still use my 5D mark I; so this is a major change. As you said, the old school methods never change regardless of the toys. A kiss is still a kiss.
It’s about knowledge and application!
I could not agree more on every single argument made in this video. Being an amateur photographer who used a Canon80D for most part of my life, I shifted to the 5DSR a few years ago & have enjoyed seeing the game change. It's an absolute beast of a camera. Have to also agree that I'm not switching till this one bites the dust.
Brother, I hear your cry! Not going to switch to mirror-less until my 5DSR is swallowed by a crocodile
I also agree, i’ve had mine since 2016…. no regrets 👍🏻
Totalmente de acuerdo
I have an R5 and several other cameras. I throw up a little every time I think of the fact that I sold my 5dsr. Being the only Canon camera to have no AA filter, it completely smokes my R5.

It doesn't smoke the R5 in dynamic range or noise.
I suppose specs are just that. Specs. In my opinion the 5dsr has the best picture quality and RAW file of any Canon camera including the R6mii, R5, R3. I just like it that much... I suspect it's because it is the only camera that Canon has ever made without an AA Filter.
wild to hear this, for the R5 is really a high-performer! guessing this means your a pixel-peeper as well lol.

Seems us pixel-peepers are a dying breed these days lol, and always value any input from someone who understands the importance image integrity.
Have been thinking about picking one of these up (now that they're sooo bloody cheap) to do some time lapses with. If at all, how often did you find the lack of AA filter getting you in trouble? I find myself in urban enviro just enough that I worry there's a higher potential for moire/artifacting etc with all the different patterns on buildings/roofs etc ... will be mostly using 17 TSE, 85 1.2, 300 2.8 II on it ... when you shot with it, were there any lenses that truly stood out to you, or on the other had, lenses that perhaps didn't work out so well due to how revealing this sensor really is?
appreciate your input here! In the oddest way, i'm really looking fwd to getting an older DSLR again, and your comment here is motivating me to get off the fence about pulling the trigger on one of these. thanks and have a great holiday!
@kernzilla When it was in high use, I had no problem with Morai. I had a baseball league with 60+ teams. Baseball uniforms aren't super pattern heavy normally. For regular portraits where there was uncontrolled lighting, like events, I had some issues, but minor. Nothing a little gaussian blur wouldn't help. Very few complete losses. It excels in controlled lighting. The dynamic range/iso performance didn't allow for super shadow recovery.
Great review... as a Canon shooter and having shot all of them, new and old, at this point in my photo journey I prefer the 5D MK III and this 5DSR. I also prefer film. I highly recommend to all those shooting today if you havent shot film to go buy one and start shooting. Todays cameras in my opinion are too 'clinical' and making lazy photographers. There is a ton of talent out there, so before yall go nuts remember that shooting in genres like film or older cameras make you work for each shot. Keep the new R5 or R6 II or A7RV, just pick up an older version and shoot with it as well to polish your composition and skill set. You should be at a point where youre only shooting in Manual mode. If youre not comfortable with that then maybe you should rethink your work flow and consider some time re introducing yourself to photography. Just my humble opinion and I hope everyone has a blessed week and keep on shooting!
Bought my 5DS a few months ago with a 6K shutter count for $625. Some people need the latest and greatest but I’m happier finding deals like this and spending my money on premium lenses.
A very good plan LeCat! Great photography comes from the heart, not from the bank account!
Nice, I bought a 5DS R for $400 with only 851 Shutter count and I love this camera!!!
I have a canon 5dsr and I use it with a 100-400 telephoto lens and a 24-70 zoom lens, both L series and with the telephoto lens I use it to photograph birds and it's a real beast!!!! It's a marvelous camera for me!!!
Nice video. I have a 5dsr and I agree with everything you said. It's the perfect camera for me as well. I don't mind if it's not the fastest camera or the best at everything. I just need it to do one thing, and that's take nice high resolution pictures, which it does.
Yea baby! One resolution to rule them all! Premium Light. Premium Image. Done.
I bought mine from B&H during the second half of 2022 for $1499.00 after ditching my Fujifilm X-T4 . Probably one of the last few left. It is an awesome camera. It can achieve the same or better results than anything new today, you just might have to work harder to do it.
Same here. I saw the sale and got it immediately
Fully agree with your conclusion! I have had my 5dsr since December 2015 and am always impressed with the image quality. Nevertheless, I bought an R5 in 2021 because it is more universal with the same image quality.
Is that why I am selling the 5Dsr? No, because firstly it is still a top backup camera and secondly the used prices are so low that I prefer to keep the good old 5dsr 😊
What kind of watch is that?
I’m a studio photographer this camera is my fav . Still using it !
Im so glad I picked one up a few months ago. For macro photography this thing is an absolute beast IMO. Great video BTW!!!
Many thanks Popeye! Enjoy those 50 monster megapixels!
Absolutely spot on comment! Fully agreed!
Best camera in my backpack for macrophotography, makes the Canon EF 100mm 2.8 and particularly the MP-E 65mm scream of joy! So when using premium light like diffused flashes for macro, this is THE camera you want to have in your backpack. I have the R5 as first choice but the 5DS R is never far away for the comfort of its mirror viewfinder (I find the electronic viewfinder a bit difficult to get used to) and robustness. A must buy!
This is a thorough and comprehensive review of a not so new camera by a very experienced photographer who does not chase after the newest and greatest like most UA-camrs. The Canon 5DSR is still a powerful camera if you know how to use and get the best images from it. Sub-ed and like.
Many thanks Maximus! (Greatest name I've seen on UA-cam yet mate!) And yes, old cameras still rock.
I liked this video so much I hit thumbs up 9 times.
i still use canon 5dsr for fashion shooting ,portrait ,best sharpness,quality machine
I used to own one of these, before changing to the 5D mkiv for a wedding job I did in a dark church. I did miss the camera. And now I have stopped my 5d4 back to the 5DsR for my landscape images. I tried the new R5 camera but did not enjoy using it. But a plus is with the new battery for the mirror less systems can also work in my 5Ds R super cool
You cannot beat the 5DSR for landscape! We agree with you on that one. The new R-Type Canons are great, but there is something special about the old guard. A mirror never runs out of battery....
If you are a photographer and know what you are doing this is an amazing camera... Ive been using it for the last 7 years for object, advertising, theatre, docu, wedding, events, night and other studio work in really lowlight and sunlight and it has never failed me. Up to 6400 ISO (yes there is noise but what do you expect?) and without problem...
It's good to see you again, Lewis! Subscribed!
A very pragmatic review of the 5DsRI bought one in 2016 and have never regretted the choice. I only shoot landscape images & the results are fantastic!
All of the newer cameras with lot of auto functions are irrelevant, i only shoot in M & RAW. All of your points re focusing, exposure bracketing it’s part of the ART of photography., I love the process…. it may outlive me (68yo) 😎📷🎞
Keep on trucking Phil! Hope to see you out on the landscape scene some day!
I bought a Cannon 5DS and I’m pleased with it.
Still available new in june 2024. Just bought one for € 970. It's my second 5DS R, love it!
thank you for your inspiration, we need more motivation like this as a photographer
Yes I bought one in 2023 and I love it. I also have a mkiii
Excelent video. I wish you had explored Architectural photography, for which this camera is great.
We LOVE this camera for architecture, and perhaps more specifically cityscape photography. New episodes on that coming soon!
Very nice and informative video 👍
Great review. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks!!! 👍🏼🌿
i have both the 5ds and 5dsr, and i love them both! I will use them til they die. What you didn't mention, but what I use mine for almost as much as Landscape and Nature, is studio photography. I still haven't found a camera that does as well for product and studio portraits. Super clear, sharp, and the "limitations" of this camera are non-issues when you are using studio lighting. Definitely not a sports camera, but still so versatile and such amazing resolution. Plus Canon colors. 💖
Amen! Super beast in the studio. Rock on...
Cheers for sharing. Which lenses have you found to be best performing with it? Thanks.
Agree with all except works fine for sports/ action photography if you know what you're doing.
Hey, Which do you favour more in terms of these to versions? I have the 5dsr. But would you say they are almost the same? Pros n cons?
@@bennykanny Right now, I seem to use the 5DsR in the studio (product shots) and for macro stuff, the 5Ds has become my nature camera (landscapes, woodland, etc. Not much animal stuff). Not sure I actually notice much difference, maybe the slightest bit of detail and dynamic range on the 5Ds, which is why i tend to use it outdoors where I don't have control over the lighting. But honestly youo can't go wrong with either unless you are really shooting things alot that have patterns that might have some moire.
Great video, I have to say that I’ve been trying to get back into landscape photography initially looking for a 5D Mark four, but one of these cameras came up on eBay as a steel price so I went for it, definitely agree with the limitations of the camera as I am at Tour Guide in London and often shoot
customers for souvenir photographs, but as far as landscape is concerned, it’s incredible!
I have to say I managed to pick up 5D Mark four a great price, and now I have Best of both worlds
Completly agree with you about eye af not beeing needed, I own an r5 and I have quit the eye tracking. I played around a lot in the biginning with the af settings but even if I set it up to case 2 and target priority it still changes a lot to something on the background or foreground after I put the point on the eye I want. Other than mugshots (and even then I had trouble sometimes when I used it) eye af doesnt work for me. I use traditional method and even using large apertures in very dim light shooting candid lifestyle portraits, my images come out sharp where I want them to be, not the camera.
Old School focus! Works every time! Thank you for your response friend. Technology is great, but knowledge is better...
I having been using this camera last 7 years and it been on some rough trails and has never failed. I totally agree on all you said except one aspect, that is the dynamic range, it could be better. I often have to use bracketing to get the contrast in the clouds as well as colour saturation of the landscape. I have used a Canon R3 and enjoyed the extra dynamic range but really missed the resolution of the 5DSR, being able walk through the image and crop the image is important to me.
It is always strange to hear people complain that their lenses don't resolve on 50MP sensor. You will absolutely get more details even out of your worst lens!! Pick any vintage lens to adapt to 5ds r and it will resolve more as opposed to 30MP sensor!
through the viewfinder, it can track faces using iTR technology.
not eyeballs, but it's pretty smart anyway.
Thank you for your excellent review.
thanks for the review here. thought there might be mention/precautions of lack of AA filter? curious how this treats you in the real-world, and perhaps how often (if at all) you would come across moire/artifacting? we're all so used to this not being much of a factor/issue with modern day cameras, and hoping to understand the potential downside of picking one of these up. thanks
Amazing camera, love shooting with that camera.
That said I recently upgraded to an R5, the eye autofocus is not necessary but not worrying about focus let’s me be more creative.
Thanks for your input
Shot with the 5R last year. Amazing camera. Totally awesome. But still... Am I going to sell my Canon 5DSR? NO BABAY! Thanks for the response friend. Keep up the good work!
Great video! I am a hobbyist photographer and critically evaluated my own photography. I do mostly still life and macro with, time permitting, zoo photography. I currently have a Canon 80D with 100-400 version II L lens, and I am able to get very sharp and close up images especially with the 1.6 crop factor. When I saw this camera selling brand new for $1500, I could not pass it up at this price. I agree with all your comments about this camera. I was lucky to buy it a few months before it was discontinued. With my L lenses, it produces amazing images.
Michael! You cannot go wrong with this camera! I'm so glad you were able to pick one up. I feel lucky to have used it this beast for the past five years. Happy shooting!
Good video sir..strait to the point I waited till it went on sell I purchase it for events and portrait photos
Go get one now my friend!
Hhmm, i have this camera too and in liveview mode you have face tracking. With liveview and facetracking the eyes are always sharp, if you shoot portraits (but the AF is slow in LV). The camera is also ideal for wide angle astrophotography because the sensor has a small pixel size. The sensor is well suited because the sample rate is better then sensor with bigger pixel. You will avoid square shaped stars. The lowlight performance is not bad at all. My EOS R is not substantially better.
Regards
Andreas
Andreas! Your response is awesome! If you have success shooting astro photography with the 5DSR, please share it! I, on the other hand, cannot come out after dark. Beers at 7:30. Bed at 10:0...... what was I saying?
Amazing look at a camera that just happened to answer every question I had in excellent detail.
Thank you, from a new sub!
Thanks for the sub Dave! Glad to have you here!
Wonderful insightful review. Thank you!😊
Thanks for this awesome tutorial about this beast. I have this camera for four years and the results I am getting from this camera it’s incredible…
You know it friend! Sensor: Amazing. Glass: Amazing. When did we need More?
This video had me salivating for one. So that’s what I did. I bought one used. Only has 2000 clicks. For cheap a literally less than 1/3 the price of it when new or R5. It’s supposed to be here within the hour. Now do I buy the 24-70 you recommend in your other video!! Keep up the great work.
Great video I heard so many great things about this camera my first full frame camera was Cannon EOS R
Thank you for the video.
I use multiple Canon DSLRs for various purposes as a hobbyist. Contemplating a used 5DSR for wildlife photography especially when I need to crop a lot but still want to retain good details and megapixels.
Great video but I had trouble focusing with 5Ds. Could you poease make another video on how to shoot with shallow deprh of field and have a decenr success rate on 5DSR ? Thank you!
I hired the R5 but did not like the flip screen. So swopped my 5D mk4 for the 5DS R love the camera, like having the Anti Allasling filter removed and have 3 cameras in 1 full frame 1.4 crop and the 1.6 crop like my old 7D had. I use it in 30 megapixel setting most of the time & have 50 megapixel on tap when shooting landscapes.
Landscapes are my jam Andrew! I don't even know how to turn on the 30megapixel setting. Technological caveman here. 50Megs. However. Hole. E. Smokes. Best. Camera. Ever.
@@premiumlightacademy well I rounded it to 30 but it’s actually 28M. Just hit the Q button select image quality M- RAW 28M and S-RAW is 12M. I am just really staring in Landscape photography only been doing it for 3 years now
Superb video and thanks for your honest opinion 👍
So nice of you
I am considering an eos 5ds for shooting headshots and portraits in a studio environment, and I want to say "thank you" for helping me decide this camera for that work!
I would love to see a comparison between images taken with the 5DS and EOS R3 Flagship under conditions the 5DS is meant for... I want to see the actual pictures. Unfortunately, I don't think anyone will ever take the time to post this type of thing.
I wanted to watch this out of interest. I very recently bought a brand new 5DSR from B&H (August 29, 2022) so I was a bit surprised to see that it has now become discontinued because when I last checked they had a few pieces left with "more on the way" and it was classified as one of their best sellers. I digress, I really wanted this camera to see how far I can push my L (and non-L) glass. The dynamic range and ISO performance are two of the prime reasons why I ditched Canon almost completely in favor of Nikon, even though my 5DMKII at the time was a lower resolution sensor with larger photosites, it still was very noisy at higher ISO or when I tried to recover shadows in a high dynamic range situation. I am still to take the 5DSR out on a shoot, and I'm curious to see how well I can do handheld. I'm also very interested to see what results I can get in a macro setting. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I’m considering this for the in-camera cropping ability. Can’t do that with my 5d III….
Excellent!
Many thanks!
I would like to hear your comments on the 5D MkIV...thinking of buying one.
We actually have a 5D MKIV video coming very soon! Keep an eye out for it in the next few weeks.
@@premiumlightacademy will do!
I have a 5DS R and at first, I hated it, however, learn to use it and it really is a remarkable bit of kit. Yes, low light performance aint great but other than that, can't fault it. I have just ordered a 5DS to run along with my 5DS R, only a shutter count of 19727! It blew me away doing a sunrise and the ammount you can crop in is outstanding. The 5DS R produces some very sharp images, the best DSLR ever? for me, not far off at all.
Is this camera good for wedding pictures
I bought this camera when it first came out to use in aerial photography, which is what I do professionally.
In aerial photography, resolution is just everything - Clients want to see a beautifully framed overall image, but then they immediately want to zoom in to the tiniest detail.
Sometimes in aerial photography you don't even know what you are shooting a picture of - You are hired to do a progress report on a construction site, but the client will want to zoom in to see the logo on the door of a cement truck to be sure it is the contractor they hired. Lawsuits are frequently resolved through aerial photography, and I have had to testify.
Prior to the 5DSr I was shooting analog on 4 x 5 inch film (and I still do sometimes) but this is the first and still the only 35mm-size camera to be able to play in that league.
Unfortunately, soon after buying it I became aware of its limitations - as depicted so well in this video. All my aerial work is done in bright daylight and in perfect weather - anything less and it's just not worth the cost to fly at all, and this camera is beyond excellent for this, but when I wanted to start to shoot other subjects - particularly low-light, I realized I needed another camera. I bought a 5D-Mark IV to share lenses and ergonomics, and it is fabulous, but it becomes my "backup" camera when I'm in the air, because the 5DSr is unbeatable.
All this to say, mine is a highly technical specialty use case, for which this camera is Summa Cum Laude - best there is, but I would definitely not recommend it as an all-rounder or as an only camera for someone doing lots of different things. Even before I bought it I understood this, and I was always surprised to see people buying it when their use was general and varied.
Interesting, what 4*5 setup do you use? Camera, lens, film
@@nicolas-arg-o3u Linhof Aero-Technika 45EL (motorized). Carl Zeiss Planar 135mm, Carl Zeiss Biogon 75mm, Schneider Super Angulon 90mm, Schneider Symmar-S 180mm, Schneider Telke-Arton 270mm. AGFA AVIPHOT X-100 PE-1; KODAK AEROCOLOR IV (2460) 5-iNCH Roll maskless color negative.
I do not use any other film cameras in flight, even medium format, as this is the only setup I've found that gives me results equal to the Canon 5DS-R.
I remember when this camera’s price cratered. That’s when pros should have grabbed one up. Was told it’s sublime as a portrait/landscape camera using a tripod (no IBIS). If I were a pro, I’d get one for that purpose alone. 👍 Great camera & good video
Thanks🙏, I'm going to take Canon EOS 5D Mark IV Body.
tell me which lens is better to take?
Very comprehensive reviiew. I wish there was more quality like this available on YT.
Can you just tell me if there is auto focus tracking in the video mode. I am hopeing to switch from my 1DX i mainly due to video capabilities.
I use this camera for wildlife photography with a Canon 100-400mm II lens. Although the lens hasn't got the distance of 500-600mm with the 50mp sensor I can pull in and crop the image a long way and when published for the internet you would never think my image was taken with only a 400mm reach and the quality of the 100-400 glass allows this superbly. As for high-speed bursts, if you can't capture a good picture of a bird in flight with a 6-frame-per-second burst you are not much of a practised photographer IMO. I am still producing images on FaceBook that easily equal the quality of pictures taken with some of the latest mirrorless cameras. Shooting RAW and using Photoshop to edit I have no intention of moving away from this camera yet and I would say YES buy it in 2023 it is now an absolute bargain!
I bought dis Canon 5DSR brand new just last week here in Nigeria, I never found a camera that doesn as well for produc especially in the studio portrait. Super clear, sharp.a revolution in resolution and the "limitations" of dis camera are no-issues, one of day best DSLR camera in canon line-up some people need the letest and greatest but I'm happier finding deals like dis and spending my money💰on premium lenses.
Do you have where I could see sample images from the camera
Bought one early Jan. 2024. Body had never seen light outside, it was used in studio only. Also not the latest firmware was installed. Price € 1250 including original Canon battery grip BG E11. Recently bought a 2nd hand EF 11-24L F4 USM. Great combo both. Power supply by LP-E6 battery dummy or adapter to a V mount battery (DC plug or USB-C, own both versions). Wireless control with Godox TX with Canon N3 plug. Put all together on a Smallrig rig with lens support. Next job, shooting landscape / timelapse photo's for example The Alps mid Europe. Forgot to mention also the use of an old FD 17mm lens with adapter on the 5Ds R body. Btw don't forget the tripod.😊
5DSR is still Canon's best camera for still images (image quality). End of discussion. Their marketing department won't tell you that and people buy into the BS.
Maybe the rumored R5-S will finally outdo the 5DSR and I will upgrade. I passed on the R5 due to inferior image quality.
It's not the best at dynamic range and noise. End of discussion 😂
And what's the best lens to use with it for the landscapes?
Great video about 5Dsr, I paid three over thousand dollars when it came out, and now only cost one third of the price, this camera still my work horse produce high-res photo for me and must know how to use it as told in the video, still enjoy seeing through the optical finder instead of the EVF of now-a-days mirrors.
There is no substitute for a good mirror! They don't lie, and they don't drink batteries!
Since I shifted from 5D MK2 to Sony A7III for 5 years, I brought one in 2024 and I love it.
I bought it used today to only photograph architecture. I am excited. Thanks for the report!
You bought the 5DSR? That is so awesome Ecki! May you have many amazing photo shoots, and many wonderful memories!
@@premiumlightacademy Thanks. I bought the camera for facades, which will later be printed on large tarpaulins in a 1:1 scale ;-) So the front door is also at least 2 meters high :-))
I miss my 5DSR! I use this camera for all my commercial photography works print purpose.
Big sensor, big images, big prints! Easy like Sunday morning....
I have r6 and r6 mkii and i love them beyound belief. Went from 5d mkii to r6 and blew me away. But i have just started macro and loving it alot and find i crop alot, so going back i time to to 5dr just for my macro stuff. I. Hoping the 50mp will really really bring sharpness and help if crop. Wont use it for anything else as r6 and mkii have spoiled me but hoping for macro this will be my macro beast
Still a beast of a camera.
Hey, I just found your channel and your overview is fantastic. I got mine at the BNH sale about two years ago and have only used it a little but the images are just so nice. It almost feels like film. In fact, I try to approach it as a film camera due to the so-called limitations which I think actually make that shooter. Take better photos.
Great camera, notwithstanding the resolution, the colours are excellent as well.
I have a 5DS and it is my favorite camera. I do use it for wildlife and find it's fast enough for me. I won't upgrade to mirrorless until I am somehow forced to do that. A lot more money for the mirrorless stuff, and I don't see the benefit. I agree that sports is right out with the 5DS(R), but I don't do any sports photography. So, as you said, it's right for me. If Canon still made them, I would probably buy a new one every 8-10 years. But if wishes were horses then beggars would ride.
"Wishes were horses!" That's a great quote. We're going to have to weave that into one of our videos soon. Thanks for the response!
I use the Canon 5D SR, Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L IS III USM Lens, Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Lens, Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens, Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM Lens, and the Canon EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM Lens. Mostly I do freelance photography in sports, pays pretty good.
If you shoot outside "premium light", can you just fix it in post processing?
Another great benefit of this camera (indeed all Canon full frane DSLRs) is that Canon EF lenses are getting really cheap. A 5D i or ii, some L primes or zooms and one of Canon's EOS 35mm film cameras and all your bases are covered. You can even use the 5D to scan your negatives.
One other possible thing I might have mentioned is camera shake and mirror slap. I have mirror delay set at 1/8 S at that certainly works great in the studio handheld as I tend to move a fair bit when shooting. The slightest amount of shake if very noticeable on that big sensor. Like you it has never let me down and I have owned it since the first came on the market. I don't think it has ever been out of the studio due to the points I mentioned and the low ISO and more light needed to shoot in. Great camera thought and I certainly would not part with it for studio work.
What About This 5DSR for fashion or portrait photography in a studio ?
Absolutely. This camera takes advantage of all the amazing lights you can set up in the studio for fashion. No doubt, giant, beautiful images.
A very important aspect is the question what lenses one uses ...
The 5DS R has no IBIS - but with IS-Lenses one can easily select longer exposure-times, to get good pictures even unter low-light conditions.
Also a tripod can be quite helpful.
I do love a good tripod! Well said Scholz.
I think I'll have to buy one because I have a Canon R since I like to photograph in Raw but the problem is that the images don't look like these that are too beautiful without problems
I could have bought the 5D Mark IV for the same price as the 5DR and in simmilar conditions.
But I picked the 5DR because of the extra pixels and because of the lack of AA filter.
I am happy with it so far, but it does however struggle in low light. And of course it would
have been nice with the R5 but its on a completely different pricepoint. Also its got its disavantage
as you discribed amongs others.
Filming is not very important. Its hard to film with non Cine glass anyways, and if you really do want
to film you can do it today with your mobile camera that can deliver 4k/120 fps with autofocus..
Sure it does not have the glass for it which makes it less pro but who cares.
A mobile phone is also lighter and can be held up high and in different angles. Also GOPRO is also an alternative for that. Unless you are shooting static movie scenes, its hard to use the R5 too for filming. You need a bunch of extra equiment to make it look professional..
The 5ds is perfect for me for landscapes, weddings and anything else outside of the fast FPS requirements such as action. Bracketing and 50mp will ensure the camera will serve me well for many years. I perhaps would prefer lesser file size for everything, especially weddings.
I use a 1dx and 7dii for sports and action and not swapping them either. I guess I can use the 1dx for Astro and I'll try later with a bit of moon photography. My only issue is fast eye autofocus would be great, but photography is about skill and that's what I enjoy. The 1dx is loads heavier than the 5ds though.
Just turn the raw image file size down and you will have smaller file sizes.
@@mrmenzies8108 Yes, regularly use RAW M and sometimes RAW S. I was meaning 50mp goodness and small files....the best of both worlds!..ha ha.
I love the 50mp and size, but tends to just eat storage. Saying that, RAW M is still awesome.
I've always wanted that camera.
Get it baby! Now is the time!
Im very much concidering buying this in 2024, i only shoot landscapes and i think the 5DSR would be a excelent camera for my use.
Yes iam Using 5DSR,I love this camera any camera can't beats this picture quality
Did my best milkyway shots ever with this cam 😊😊😊😊 and the EOS 11-24 lens!!
CPS gold/gold member....
Thank you for the video, dear author. I would like to ask you - have you ever compared your 5dsr camera with Nikon d700? I have a d700 and 1d mark III. I want to understand if it makes sense to buy a d700 5dsr instead? Will there be a noticeable improvement in the quality of the final image?
Hello thanks for your video because of it and other reviews I decided to purchase one, however, only used ones are available! My concern is the shutter actuation/life which is stated by Canon as 150000. If I find a camera with high count should I avoid it? Also do you know what your shutter actuation count is?
Love this video! Great , honest take. I see a lot more new 5DS available on the market than 5DS R. Would that be a good way to go if the 5DS R becomes hard to get new
2024年我買了一台5dser還有35l跟70-200f4
I am gonna get this camara!
Speaking of "eye autofocus", the EOS 3 had an autofocus system based on the shooter's eye.
It's an amazing "mind reading" ability and I kinda wonder why it wasn't continued in later models..
Had that feature on my eos 30, I loved it. Wish I could get it again.
A pro choice amidst hyped speed features in new cameras.
Depending on what you do or need, there is no reason to "upgrade" from this camera if you have it. It is completely more than fine for what it is. I have one and some other Canon DSLR's and frankly this is a very specialized camera which most people will not need. I think once you get much beyond 26mpix few need more than that. In fact most people don't really need more than even 12mpix of the original 5D. As for shadows and highlights and such, bracket or choose what you really want.
I will say I think the accuracy of the focus on my 5Dsr is better than some of my other Canon DSLR's like the original 5D or the 5DII, or possibly MY 6D.
My advice is if you want one get one new while you can, if you can. I bought mine used and it works fine. Don't chase gear. If you think you need the dynamic range, think again, you would probably want to bracket if it comes to that, with any camera. At least for landscapes. Don't make the camera companies rich, their prices are too high already.
I do product photography and I'm upgrading from Canon 80D to a full-frame DSLR.
I am heavily considering Canon 5DSR as my first choice due to having 50MP for prints. Is this a good idea?
In my humble opinion, the 5DSR is always a good idea. If you do product photography, you can't go wrong with all that horsepower! Best of luck!
Stock video or from the 5dsr?
Very good Question! Every image/video from Premium Light Academy is shot by us. JT, Myself and Ashely, with our own cameras that we talk about. I shot every video/photo from this video with the 5DSR. !!!!!Except the astro stuff. That was not me. Stock!!!!!! I have to go to bed!
Nice review , I think the R5 basically replaces 5dsr , with a huge amount of benefits and R lens
Going to use my R5 at least until I see R1 and / or R5 Mark II and what specs those have. Wonderful camera.
R5 Replaces 5DSR. Hummmmmm... Yes! Let's be realistic. The R5 is one of the best cameras in the history of photography! But. . . . . .The Canon 5DSR. Oh sweet history. May you rest in beauty.
Is it Discontinued Now..? Why..?
Greetings Shree. Sadly, Canon has opted to move forward with their mirrorless camera lineup. And the old dinosaurs are finally extinct. You can still get your hands on a 5DSR though. You can't kill the legend!
I love your voice.
Many thanks Karrakot. I love you name.
My question is does this camera use EF or EF-S mount? Because I’ve been looking for a camera that takes video and photos
Wrong camera for you. Yes it uses EF lenses but for video try an EOS R6/7
