Hi Charles,
I followed this topic with interest. First, I think you should stop testing the 5DsR sensor by using the 24-105. Especially at 24mm where this lens is not at its best. Go ahead and use your 50/1.4 @f/8 and focus in Live View. You will see a different sensor arise.
Second, I must say that I don't understand why someone says a 5D4 would provide better images than a 5DsR if not using a tripod. I have taken very sharp handheld shots at all focal lengths varying from 16mm to 560mm and the results are so good, that something else must be going on that leads to disappointing results without tripod. I must state that I used the latest incarnations of lenses for this: 16-35/4IS, 70-200/2.8iiIS, 100-400iiIS. I have taken hundreds of landscape shots handheld, especially using the 16-35/4IS and it was more than fine....Show more →
Since I allegedly said that (allegedly, b/c those were not exactly my words) let me explain further, in case it was not clear.
When one shoots landscape, you would ideally like to shoot at f8-f11 for proper dof, iso 100 for least noise and max DR, and a lit of times, during golden hour. that often leads to shutter speeds which are not very conducive to max detail and resolution from the sensor. That, in many practical situations, may negate the difference in resolution between 5dsr and 5d4 (though obviously not always). However, 5d4 does offer more dynamic range, at all iso settings. and that can prove to be more useful, more often, than the extra resolution. .
I would also say, I would personally take the sony a7R with 36mp and 13.7 stops of DR over 5dsr with 50Mp and 12 stops of DR, even shooting off of a tripod. I find that for at least up to 24x36 prints, how clean the files are make more of a difference than the MP count.
I think a 5dsr with 5d4 DR would be ideal of course.
