Re: Official: Canon 5DS, 5DS R and 11-24mm lens released!
Good thread with a bowl of popcorn. Some of the usual DRones chimed in with predictable bitching even though they keep telling us they have moved on from Canon bodies.
My prediction is that it will sell quite well given it\'s limited user base. Canon has no problem selling 1DX\'s to that limited user base either and that\'s a $7000 body. Early adopters will pay the premium price no matter what and others will wait for rebates and price reductions. Like it or not there is a user base out there that doesn\'t seem bothered by Canon\'s low ISO DR.
Looking at the body and feature list it doesn\'t look like Canon spent a lot of developmental resources on it so they get a high MP body out there now but at minimum cost. Taking a cue from Nikon they could update the body/sensor later in a much shorter time frame.
