DP Review:
"Canon tells us that at a pixel level, noise levels should be very similar to the EOS 7D Mark II and slightly better than what we'd expect from a 5D Mark II (note: not a 5D Mark III)."
and
"As far as dynamic range is concerned, we're told that the new 5DS and 5DS R should give the same performance as the current EOS 5D Mark III."
Seems like it's pretty much an upscaled 7DII sensor, right? Personally, I call that disappointing.
We use 5D III's at work, and I generally like them but hate the pattern noise, which I can see at base ISO without any big edits. Regardless, like Nikon – which I own and use – I wonder what AF lenses are seriously up to the task of 50MPX, particularly at the wide end.
This seems like an advancement of sorts, but certainly not revolutionary like the D800 was. For Canon shooters who need more resolution and are happy with the IQ of their MKII or III, then I guess this is the ticket. For people buying into full frame from scratch and wanting "the best", I guess it's a harder sell. In my opinion, one would be better to choose what they feel more comfortable holding and using than buying on spec anyway. In my case, I'd prefer the D810, but others are different and difference makes the world go around!
