Well, it all depends on what you shoot most. To me, having shot the 5DsR for over 6 months, going back to 20mp just was too much going back for a camera that is double the price. while I had the 1Dx2 loaner (for three weeks) I soon realised that given what i shoot, i would still shoot 80% on the 5DsR, making no sense to have a €6400 body for 20% of what I shoot.
Additionally, one of the major features, 61pts at f/8, was diminished by the fact that I can simply take off my 1.4xiii and shoot the bare 100-400ii on the 5DsR with all 61pts and have almost the same reach, by cropping to 20mp. I tried a comparison and the cropped 5DsR + 100-400ii @400mm holds more detail than the 1Dx2 + 1.4xiii + 100-400ii @560mm.
Still remains the fact that the 1Dx2 can shoot high fps but so can the 1Dx which is what I'm planning to get I about a year or so when prices drop below 2500.
DR improvement is there, absolutely. But 50mp scaled down to 20mp theres only about one stop between them.
If you shoot a lot of high fps work or if you really want to squeeze out the max DR then it may be a good investment. For me it isn't.
Kind regards,
