Canon EOS 5Ds Specs Leaked (5D4 Slotted for mid-2015)

January 30, 2015 in Announcements, Industry News, All Posts, Photo Blog

*UPDATE* FEBRUARY 5

Canon 5DS full Press Release has leaked! ... Download the PDF here! 

Samples images and videos are available on the Canon website.

Pre-orders have already begun at $3,699.

Canon 5DS News

Specifications for the new EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R have leaked. The camera will officially be announced by Canon on February 6, with availability in late March or early April. Retail price is confirmed to be $3,699 for the base 5DS and pre-orders have started.

Three Different 5D Bodies

Note the maximum ISO of 6,400. This is NOT a Canon 5D Mark IV and is not a direct replacement to the 5D Mark III. The EOS 5DS and 5DS R constitute a "split" in the 5D line, and are for those specifically seeking high MP bodies and better color reproduction. This sounds like a commercial studio and big-print landscape camera that will try to compete directly with PhaseOne and Hasselblad.

The 5DS series boasts a new CFA (Color Filter Array) that will yield unparalleled color accuracy from a Canon camera. However, the new CFA significantly limits ISO range. As a result, the 5D lineup will consist of three bodies in 2015: the 50 megapixel 5DS, the 5DS R (with the low pass filter removed), and the 5D Mark IV: a 20+MP body with a "standard" range of ISOs that event photographers have come to love.

What About the 5D4?

Canon is still keeping the 5D Mark IV under wraps, and an official announcement is rumored for summer 2015. Northlight is reporting the Mark IV will have significantly improved video features (4k?) and a "modest" increase in MP. I would also expect the typical 1-2 stop noise improvement in ISOs. 

Get ready folks, 2015 looks to be a banner year for Canon fans! Discuss in the Canon 5DS Forum.
