Overview

It's All in the Detail

With all the features and capabilities of the EOS 5DS, the EOS 5DS R camera offers the potential for even greater sharpness and fine detail for specialized situations. It features the same Canon designed and manufactured 50.6 Megapixel sensor, with the low-pass filter* (LPF) effect cancelled to provide even more fine edge sharpness and detail for critical subjects such as detailed landscapes, and other situations where getting the sharpest subject detail is a priority.

New 50.6 Megapixel Full-Frame CMOS sensor

The EOS 5DS R camera features Canon's newest full-frame CMOS sensor. At 50.6 Megapixels, it's the highest resolution sensor in the history of EOS. It captures 8712 x 5813 effective pixels, delivering images with an unprecedented level of realism perfect for large-scale commercial printing, fine art, significant crops and any number of other high-end applications.

50.6MP Sensor

Full Creative Advantage

Wide dynamic range and acute realism are two of the touchstones of the EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R cameras. These cameras create the high image quality needed for large-scale printing. The fine detail, and palette of colorful imaging possibilities, pair perfectly and allow for significant creative cropping options to suit discerning image makers.

Sharp, Detailed Performance

The  low-pass filter cancellation effect of the EOS 5DS R has the power to limit the reduction of resolving power inherent in digital imaging, creating incredibly fine detail by shedding the low-pass filter’s ability to minimize moiré and false color artifacting in favor of high detail images that the filter cancellation effect enables. When fine detail is critical, the EOS 5DS R delivers for a number of specific applications, such as landscape, commercial imaging, and other unique applications.

Which One Is Right for You

The right camera depends on the application. Both excel at creating large images for creative cropping to complement large-format prints. But, the EOS 5DS creates vertical and horizontal separation with the low-pass filter, ideal for creative applications. The EOS 5DS R specializes in image detail. But, it has a lesser ability to reduce moiré and false color artifacting because of the vertical and horizontal cancellation. However, that shouldn’t deter creators who demand sharp detail. There are ways to mitigate this effect in capturing and post-processing.

Maximum Creative Potential

The EOS 5DS R suits a wide range of applications. The array of creative possibilities with the 5DS R’s strong ability to eliminate false colors and moiré patterns make this camera ideal for most users, enthusiasts, and professionals alike, who focus on studio, gallery, and fine art photography. The additional power to expand possibilities for cropping (due to the high resolution and the low-pass filter) totalize the features for a near limitless ability to accommodate your imaging vision.

*** The Wi-Fi Adapter W-E1 must be inserted into the available SD card slot. The W-E1 does not have storage and is not designed to record images. To record and store images, a CompactFlash card must be used in the dedicated CF card slot.

1 Wireless communication may be terminated if the user operates the power switch, card slot cover, battery compartment cover or mode dial; starts Live View shooting or operates the movie shooting switch during wireless communication.
2 The communication distance for the Wi-Fi Adapter W-E1 is approximately 32.8 feet, making it shorter than the built-in Wi-Fi® communication distance of the EOS 80D camera (approx. 49.2 feet).
3 Because wireless communication speed can slow down or be interrupted when the grip is covered by a user’s hand, Wi-Fi® connection is not recommended while holding the grip.
4 If the EOS 7D Mark II, EOS 5DS or EOS 5DS R cameras are turned on or the shutter button is pressed while only the Wi-Fi Adapter W-E1 is inserted, [Cannot record] will appear on the LCD monitor.
5 If the Wi-Fi Adapter W-E1 is inserted into any EOS camera other than the EOS 7D Mark II, EOS 5DS or EOS 5DS R cameras (firmware V1.1.0 or later) and the power is turned on, [Card locked] or [Card error] may appear on the LCD monitor.
6 When the Wi-Fi Adapter W-E1 is inserted in the camera, a USB cable cannot be used to connect the camera to a Connect Station, wireless file transmitter, printer, etc. It can be used when the camera is connected to an external monitor via HDMI cable.
