High school football, thought I'd have some fun with a 5ds, 1d4, and 1dx along with TSE 17, 70-200, and 300 f2.8. Borrowed 5ds + tse from Canon and threw it in the bag to see how it does at night sports. Conclusion, not good. The resolution is freaking amazing, the amount of cropping power is awesome almost to point where you could probably sit in the stands with a 70-200 and produce good shots. Two noticable issues with 5ds and sports, just like the 5d3 it just can't acquire and maintain AF fast enough compared to 1d4 or 1dx, second the buffer takes forever to write. The 1dx just snaps to focus, and the 1d4 while slightly behind is just dead on accurate. If the 1d4/1dx has OOF, it's operator error, period. Just don't really get alot of oof shots with either 1d body, but both 5d3 and 5ds act very similar with AF in low light.
If the 5d4 is equal to 1dx and close to high iso, the lower fps I could make work with sports at night, 1d's AF just rule so need to chance oof. Another point about 5ds + lightroom, you can really crank up the luminance so nearly 2x vs a 1dx to get a smooth image. The 5ds really needs a performance update, faster AF, high iso, and bigger buffer but that camera isn't for sports imo. But during the daytime, the AF focus in ai servo was definitely spot on. A few shots I picked out between all 3 bodies.
