Canon EOS 5DS R review
For photography purists, Canon's 5DS R DSLR delivers outstanding stills at a whopping 50.6 megapixels.
In terms of camera tech, Canon is to be commended for creating a 50.6MP full-frame DSLR, so it earns our Editor’s Choice. While the near-$4,000 price tag puts it out of reach for consumers, it’s relatively affordable for the type of user this camera is...

Canon EOS 5DS Review
Canon's EOS 5DS D-SLR has a high-resolution sensor that filters out color moiré, but it sacrifices a little detail in the process.

Canon sharpens its image with 50MP EOS 5DS R (hands-on)
With 50-megapixel resolution and anti-aliasing-filter cancellation, you'd expect the 5DS R to be the sharpest Canon yet. Take a look at what a preproduction sample of the camera yielded.

Canon hits 50 -- megapixels, that is
The company's new 5DS and 5DS R full-frame dSLRs are its bid to compete with cheaper medium-format models.

Canon EOS 5DS R
Note: The EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R are basically the same camera. The only differences are the 5DS R has no low-pass filter, and costs about $200 more.

Canon EOS 5Ds R Review
The 5Ds vs. 5Ds R decision is not an all or nothing one in regards to moiré. It is a more or less decision and the same regarding image sharpness. If you are shooting images of subjects that are likely to induce the moiré pattern and do not have time...
