Re: Official: Canon 5DS, 5DS R and 11-24mm lens released!
As a manager of 3 repro studios thinking to transition from medium format digital (the back is great, the camera is a joke) I\'m not touching it with a bargepole. The new colour array sounded good but the limited DR is a game breaker. I want to be able to do as much to the images as I can do with my medium format files without them breaking up. I used to own a 5D3. Doesn\'t come close. Our D800e\'s do come close enough however are lacking in resolution. Waiting to see what the Sony A9 will be like.
One thing that I\'m not sure anyone has mentioned, are the lenses up to it? This week I tested the Nikkor 60mm and 105mm Macro lenses vs an old manual Mamiya 80mm Macro on one of our D800e\'s. The far older lens bests the modern Nikkor\'s in the corners with ease for sharpness, contrast and lack of CA/fringing. That\'s on 36 megapixels against lenses designed for flat field performance. I have a feeling that 50 megapixels will not require new lenses but a different type of lens design to fully maximise its potential. Just as the medium format crowd turned to Digitar lenses on tech cameras with their backs.
