The weather was crappy yesterday but I had to take a shot at heading out to the Smokies for one more look at the fall colors. It’s past peak and the atmosphere was pea soup in most places but I stopped at an overlook and shot a 9 frame panorama with the Canon 5Ds R and EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM lens, which you can see above.

With the A7R II being a more popular pick for a wider variety of images, while the 5Ds R is a little more niche for landscape and studio work where low sensitivity and high resolution are the primary concerns.

Kai from Digital Rev is back with a hands-on review of the Canon 5DS and 5DS R. He takes a look at their massive 50MP resolution sensors shooting high speed water studio shots. There are a couple compelling examples in this video that demonstrate the differences in sharpness between the two cameras.

The Canon 5DS is now shipping in large quantity and remains in stock for the time being. If you pre-ordered the camera, it should be on its way to you. And, if you still want to pick one up, it looks like there is enough stock to go around. Check it out here at B&H Photo.
The Canon 5DS R should be shipping soon but is, as yet, not listed in stock. Check it out here at B&H Photo.
It looks like the Canon EOS 5DS and 5DS R will begin shipping in just over a week on June 14, 2015. B&H has listed the new shipping date subject to availability.
As with other high-demand cameras, it may take a few weeks to fill all of the pre-orders. So if you want a 5DS or 5DS R sooner rather than later, you’d better go ahead and get in the pre-order line now. Check it out here at B&H Photo.
