Why don't you remove the BG-E11 so the camera isn't so tall? I've been using the 5Ds since November 3, 2020 and it's an amazing camera and it was at an amazing price of $1299 at B&H.
The nice thing about the Canon 5Ds is what it does to your lenses, all of my older Canon L lenses are much sharper with the 5Ds vs my 6D, the extra 30mp are incredible and I shoot with the 17-40 f/4L, 24-105 f/4L IS, 70-200 f/4L, 35 f/2 IS and 85 f/1.8 USM lenses.
As a macro photographer, I'd love a dedicated review on how this camera would perform in terms of extra detail compared to the 5d mkiii and how much more you could crop into an image without losing detail/sharpness.
The new version of the Canon T/S 24 3.5 II is way way sharper and better than the original, particularly at wider apertures which is where you want to be sometimes. But if the original works for you, that's great and it'll save you quite a bit of money over purchasing the new one. If I were shooting the 5DSR simply to ensure that I could resolve the sensor the v. II would be a much better choice. That's just my opinion. The original version was released in 1991 which is 18 years prior to v. II and well before the advent of high resolution digital sensors. The 5DSR is a solid offering from Canon, but I still think a lot of people were underwhelmed with the feature set it actually came with, not that Canon gave anyone reason to expect more. It think people expected to work a lot harder on improving DR, which is still far from class leading. I think some were wishful that 4k would be in there. I also think some people were expecting at least modest changes to the body which turned out to be basically a retrofitted 5D MK III body. And I think people really expected much better noise performance. But if you're in the Canon camp and need a high res stills body for studio work, it's the way to go. I don't expect the 5DSR to cause anyone to switch over from other platforms, certainly not from the D800E or the people looking into the Sony a7r II, which is kind of a shame. The market is still better when players like Nikon and Canon innovate and force everyone to improve instead of lagging behind the way they are.
How sharp are the actual hand held images you took during this video? Great vid btw, watched it twice now, love it. I've got the 16-35 f4 as well, just debating what camera to go along with it, either the 5dsr or the 5d3?
Any decent prime lens that is longer than 35mm at an aperture of about f/8. Even old ones, like the classic fifties, are quite capable With wide-angle lenses it is more difficult if we talk about sharpness from edge to edge. I would say many lenses from 2012 are quite capable.
He could have just recorded video internally in the camera while he was making the shifting adjustments ... it would have been more helpful to see what he was seeing directly in the recorded footage rather than him talking about it. Also, we could have seen the video quality of the camera. Just a feedback. Thanks for the review though. :)
I'm always bothered about trying to get rid of perspective in tall buildings, as i think there is a tendency to make the building look as though its getting larger as it gets taller. Besides, perspective is a natural optical phenomena.... After all, we have perspective all around us, which we ignore, such as railway lines... streets etc.. Why try to eradicate it in architectural photography? Anyhow, a great video, thanks for sharing :)
+Tachyon Particle I meant 5D Mark2. As a lot of pros still shoot on that camera as the mark3 wasn't a huge jump from the mark2. The performance of the 5DSR is about the same as the 7Dmark2/5Dmark3. Although I never tested it against those cameras. I have used all three and the 5DSR is unparalleled with its lowlight performance for the amount of resolution your getting with it. Truly remarkable.
The lines might be straight, but looks weird.. Also, you spend the whole evening taking shots and then you do high-ISO test during the day? Let's see both camera perform when they actually need the high ISO..
+Remko v.d. Wielen It's not just about maintaining straight lines. The angle at which the photo is taken will still greatly affect the appearance. A tilt shift lens correctly adjusted and taken at 90º angle to an architectural subject, i.e. straight on, will be vastly better than a non tilt shift lens in terms of accurately depicting the appearance of the building.
+thegrubyak In their defence, it is 34 minutes long though. Nice to have an extended field test, but I suppose it will always be at a slight cost to the direct product being reviewed. I really enjoyed it.
+thegrubyak In their defence, it is 34 minutes long though and good to get extra tips about extra equipment and techniques. Nice to have an extended field test, but I suppose it will always be at a slight cost to the direct product being reviewed. I really enjoyed it personally.
I personally feel Canon needs to get off their high horse. The 5DSR is not a great value. At $3899 they've got to be kidding, especially when it's not good for shooting video. The Nikon D810 is a far more capable camera in video and for $900 less you also get a built-in pop up flash, headphone jack and it's capable of shooting at up to 7fps.
ACiD_ ReinX Are you one of those who feels the need to be right and you can't admit when you're ever wrong? You seem like it, and very arrogant for that matter. With your attitude you sound like Canon Fanboy.

Agree its an Incredible camera.

Well, I finally got one and it's amazing.

Why don't you compare Canon 5DSR vs Nikon D810? Nikon D800E is a very old camera.
Why are using 5dmk2 as the example, (good camera) compared to 5dsr? Does he mean 5 dmk3
How sharp are the actual hand held images you took during this video? Great vid btw, watched it twice now, love it. I've got the 16-35 f4 as well, just debating what camera to go along with it, either the 5dsr or the 5d3?
Getting and taking advantage of that 50mp is very very lens dependent, what lenses resolve 50mp ?
Any decent prime lens that is longer than 35mm at an aperture of about f/8. Even old ones, like the classic fifties, are quite capable
With wide-angle lenses it is more difficult if we talk about sharpness from edge to edge. I would say many lenses from 2012 are quite capable.

can i know what sort of camera the videographer is using?
hai! can we use 70-200 L f2.8 II in night conditions on this camera?
What did you shoot this review with?

what camera you used to shot this video ?
Really wanting to see Blackmagic URSA review! Thumbs up!
You kept referring to the 5D Mk II - did you actually mean to refer to the 5D Mk III?
+Tachyon Particle I meant 5D Mark2. As a lot of pros still shoot on that camera as the mark3 wasn't a huge jump from the mark2. The performance of the 5DSR is about the same as the 7Dmark2/5Dmark3.

Many thanks for your prompt response!
Elmo was looking at you with a disappointed look xD
when is the meet and greet going to be in New York city?
No date set just yet. I will make a video about it when there is.
Absolutely.
The lines might be straight, but looks weird..
Also, you spend the whole evening taking shots and then you do high-ISO test during the day?
Let's see both camera perform when they actually need the high ISO..
Low light test was done in a dark room with only a very dim light that simulates a low light scenario.
+Remko v.d. Wielen It's not just about maintaining straight lines. The angle at which the photo is taken will still greatly affect the appearance. A tilt shift lens correctly adjusted and taken at 90º angle to an architectural subject, i.e. straight on, will be vastly better than a non tilt shift lens in terms of accurately depicting the appearance of the building.
I still strongly suggest shooting when there's a lot of black in the shot, that's where the color noise is the most obvious.
trevorpinnocky I have seen some cool stuff being done with a tilt shift lens, but I really don't like these shots,
I'm sorry.
Or focus shifting.
the 61 af points are not all cross type are they, only 41 of them are?
+atyl1972 yes, only 41 are
are u people reviewing the camera or the tripod....???????
One more excellent video!! Thank you!!!
Can you review medium format cameras ? ex: h5d-50c
+ali tiger I will be expanding to more cameras. I will take a look for sure.
Spoke to sports photographer shooting races he said he never goes over 6400 ISO ..
why do I keep thinking of home alone 2
Still love my 5D3 shutter slap =)
"Canon 5dSR Review" but they keep talking about tripod, tilt shift lens, photo composition and food.
+thegrubyak In their defence, it is 34 minutes long though. Nice to have an extended field test, but I suppose it will always be at a slight cost to the direct product being reviewed. I really enjoyed it.

where's the review AJA CION?

+Wesley Jordan You cannot shoot 7 fps with a D810. You need to purchased the battery grip to achieve 7fps based off the information on the website. :)
ACiD_ ReinX
RIGHT! And I know that! So that means you CAN shoot 7fps with a D810. Oh how some people just don't read the words they write. ;-)
Wesley Jordan Yeah ok lmao
ACiD_ ReinX
Are you one of those who feels the need to be right and you can't admit when you're ever wrong? You seem like it, and very arrogant for that matter. With your attitude you sound like Canon Fanboy.
Nice
'stand'? It's a tripod.
NOT available!!
look at his hair roflcopter
Distracted by hair , thats ok though
if you shave your head, your views will double.
16:12 that pic looks horrible. SO BLURRY I would never have displayed it
best not watch this video in 240p hey now cause its prefectly in focus from what I see
Its in focus dude? Ahaha, its a long shutter speed so it captured the movement of anything going past, if thats what your saying makes it blurry
