^Cool, I know what you mean. I am quite wowed by the sensor.

Very nice capture.

Thanks!
Here are a couple of new learning experiences for me. I got three new lenses for my 5DS and 5DS R: The EF 40mm f/2.8 STM nicely fills a need for an ultra-light minimal walk-around prime, while the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II and EF 70-200mm f/4L IS join the 11-24mm for a great very high-quality focal range coverage. Naturally, I had to give them a try.
Here are couple test shots that explore the new lenses and the 5DS and 5DS R's high ISO capabillities:
And a more challenging dark setting with EF 40mm f/2.8 STM at f/2.8 and ISO 3200 (processed in DXO using it's excellent "prime" NR): The Streets of Lee's Summit by David Arbogast, on Flickr

John,
Thanks for posting that swallow image. It helps to confirm in my mind that I'm more likely to get the 5DS than A7R II. I'm planning a landscape photography trip to the north section of Capital Reef NP in Utah. I'll probably take a new high resolution camera (5DS or A7R II), a 6D for backup, some Tilt-Shift lenses, a handfull of Alts, and my 100-400L IS II. Being able to slap the 100-400mm on a fast AF, high-resolution Canon body to capture non-scenic opportunities goes a long ways towards outweighing higher DR (whatever that is).
I also tried my best to induce some moire, but sadly I haven't succeeded so far.
...and peering through the haze, I've never come even close to pulling this much detail through the murk.
...and wildlife, I haven't even gotten started...
No, this is deceptively the best camera I have ever had in my hands. Since I do not like nor ever use high speed continuous shooting, I find the 5Ds R better than the 5D3 and 7D2 combined. The main thing that is somewhat disconcerting... so much real estate, so much detail!
I love the ability to pull. I usually start with a shot that has a few blinkies and never have a problem with them.
There is also a level of detail even downsized that I never saw before. Some of this is just the camera. But I have had to learn a whole new method of processing which leads to results never before seen.
I haven't seen this yet, but I used to see it all the time with the 5D3 on fabric, buildings etcetera. Thankfully, this particular type of moiré is really easy to deal with. Convert to L*a*b, blur the "a" and "b" channels appropriately - in this case about 12 pixels for the "a" channel and about 14 px for the "b" channel. Gone. Gets a bit more complicated if some of that moiré is in the Luminance, but not here.
Is it me or does the 5DS(r) have a small shift towards a cool, blueish/cyanish colorbalance in general? I'm specifically looking at greens and some highlights in various images and it seems to render it a tad on the cold side. At least with the profiles I've tried, including DPP. It's subtle and some may not even notice it though.
Of course it depends on light and an image can always be warmed up and tuned to eternity. And maybe my other cameras are a tad warm, not sure. This is just something i've noticed with out of cam RAWs from the 5DS(r)

Pretty crazy.
