If you thought Sony’s a7R had plenty of megapixels, Canon would like to introduce you to the 5DS and the Canon 5DS R. Both cameras pack a massive 50.6 MP full-frame CMOS sensor, and they have 41 AF points. This much power will do well in the hands of landscape, architectural, studio, portrait and commercial photographers. They’ve been designed to produce the sharpest image possible and positively huge prints, and we can only guess at how they’ll look.

Though where the two cameras diverge is the 5DS R’s lack of a low pass filter effect. What this does is help give images more sharpness.

Canon overhauled the mirror system in both cameras to minimize mirror bounce and camera shake. The company also added intervals between shutter presses (first to lock the mirror, second to release the shutter) at 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1 and 2 seconds to allow any possible shake to cease before the shutter’s released. Both the 5DS and 5DS R have the 7D Mk II’s Intelligent Viewfinder II, which provides the information you’d find on the rear LCD.

Both cameras carry on Canon’s commitment to HD video with 1080p capability. Both have new AE systems to compensate for flickering light sources. They also have a burst mode of 5 fps at full 50.6 MP resolution and dual SD and CF card slots.

Both the Canon 5DS and 5DS R will be available in June 2015 for $3,699 and $3,899 respectively.

Head on for product images.

Did Canon Miss the Memo That Says Mirrorless Lenses Are Meant to Be Smaller?

When Canon introduced their new Mirrorless cameras earlier on this year (The EOS R) one of the stand out features was that the lens mount was so huge. While other manufacturers like Sony have made all things Mirrorless smaller, the late comer to the Mirrorless party seems to have decided that bigger is better. In a recently released interview, Canon engineers seem to be having a sly dig at Sony by saying that lenses with smaller mounts are far less capable than those with larger mounts. Read on after the break to find out more about what the Canon engineers are wafting on about.

The New Nikon P1000 Has a 125x Optical Zoom with a Laughable 1/2.3 inch Sensor for $999.95

Today, for some odd reason, the Nikon P1000 point and shoot camera is being announced. Odd, you ask? The fact that it is a point and shoot isn’t such a big issue at all; but the fact that it’s a superzoom camera being marketed as one with a 125x optical zoom is what’s insane. Kudos to Nikon for being able to do something like this; but then you read the fine print (or in this case, print that’s not even in the press release) and see the bait and switch–this Nikkor lens is having its potential wasted by being placed in front of a 1/2.3 inch sensor.
