Canon introduces EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R with a 50 megapixel sensor

With the 50-megapixel sensor, Canon wants to set a new standard: According to the Canon, the EOS 5DS is currently the most high-resolution full-frame reflex camera. The camera comes in two model variants, which differ only in a small detail. The Canon EOS 5DS has an active low-pass filter, the Canon EOS 5DS R was deactivated by a second canceling filter. This should contribute to even more sharpness in the image.

Both EOS cameras have a Dual DIGIC 6 image processor and 61 autofocus measuring panels. 41 of which are cross sensors. To support the high-resolution sensor, Canon has strengthened the chassis. This is intended to minimize vibrations. Controls and appearance of the housing are not significantly different from the 5D Mark III (Test).


With the full-format DSLR, thanks to the high resolution, an artificial crop mode is also possible. This simulates a smaller sensor and allows a higher focal length with lower resolution. In the 1.3x mode are 30.5 megapixel resolution possible, at 1.6x it is still 19 megapixels. The crop options are placed as a mask over the viewfinder, allowing the photographer to choose the right image.


In addition to the two new full-format cameras, Canon has also introduced a wide-angle lens of the high-quality L series. The EF 11-24mm 1: 4L USM should not record despite the low focal range and accurately represent straight lines. This makes the lens particularly suitable for landscape and architectural photography. With a close-range limit of 24mm, it is also flexible to use and allows a wide range of image design.


Both cameras will be available in June 2017. The Canon EOS 5DS (body) will cost 3,499 euros, the body of the EOS 5DS R 3,699 euros. The lens EF 11-24mm 1: 4L USM is available from March 2017 at the price of 2.999 euros.
