You will read about the benefits of this most anticipated camera in 2015 in official reviews and custom tests. And we will tell you about what manufacturers of the camera for $ 3700 do not like to mention: Canon EOS 5DSR was positioned as a “successor” to the legendary 5D Mark III, but the flaws of the new model sent all marketing constructions to the trash can.
Cons, which are written in reviews and tests
Slight photosensitivity
In both of the most serious and detailed reviews of the Canon EOS 5DSR (ProPhotos.ru and English speaking DpReview.com) It is noted that the ISO range (from 100 to 6400) will disappoint those who would like to use the EOS 5DSR for reportage photography. Serious noises start from a value of 1600, and to the “ceiling” the advantage of the new camera in detail is completely leveled. In this regard, Canon does not even compete with the versatile Mark III, not to mention direct market rivals such as the Sony a7r I or II.
Only expensive lenses
Tests and reviews (for example, on Strobius) clearly prove that by putting a regular EF lens on the Canon EOS 5DSR, you will get an entry-level camera. The list recommended by the manufacturer has inexpensive TV shots like the EF 85mm f / 1.8 USM or EF 100mm f / 2.8 Macro USM; however, to get really high-quality photos, experts recommend only L-series lenses, which often come close to the camera itself at a cost, and as EF 200-400 mm f / 4L IS USM Extender 1.4x is generally more expensive several times.
Lack of Wi-Fi
In the review from Strobius This aspect is noted especially: since the camera is designed primarily for studio work, it is very important to have the possibility of wireless transfer of images to a workstation for viewing. However, the Wi-Fi module, implemented in Canon EOS 6D, was not transferred to the new model, arguing that it was necessary to save energy. Now photographers have to run with wires. The USB 3.0 interface, by the way, is also not very thought out: when using a wire without a special connector, there is a risk of damaging the main camera board.
Cons, which write in reviews
Poor sharpening when shooting with hands
This is one of the most common "complaints" in user reviews. No need to talk about the curves of the hands: when the resolution of the matrix is 50 megapixels, the usual rule for photographers when setting exposure (unit at focal length) does not work. That is, normal hand-held shots with a shutter speed of 1/50 even with the use of a stabilizer are unlikely to be obtained. Literate people (in particular, Stanislav Vasilyev in his blog) it is advised to set the shutter speed at 1-2 steps shorter than the classical one - then there will be a sense. In a rapidly changing exposure, conjuring with exposure values is even more cunning. In a word, the EOS 5DSR is not a camera that is worth taking on a picnic to shoot a fun company.
Autofocus problems in video mode
In the comments on Yandex.Market Some users even claim that the Canon EOS 5DSR does not have autofocus on the video at all. This is not the case; rather, it’s about the slow operation of this function and a large number of errors. Apparently, the manufacturer decided that for a predominantly studio camera a normal video mode would be useless. In addition, compared with the Mark III, the new model also lost the audio output to the headphones.
High computer requirements for photo processing
The standard file, which is obtained when shooting at maximum resolution on the Canon EOS 5DSR, weighs 65 MB (which is not surprising - with such a matrix!). To process such a machine, you need a very advanced workstation. Regular 4-core processors, coupled with even 16 gigabytes of RAM, pull this strap with great difficulty. Work with layers, the imposition of filters, the use of certain effects, according to reviews of some camera owners, enter their computers into a stupor.Therefore, acquiring EOS 5DSR, you need to lay in the budget spending and related purposes.

is it so bad?
Nevertheless, based on the above, the Canon EOS 5DSR cannot be called a complete flaw. This is the first 50 megapixel SLR with a 24x36 mm sensor. Previously, such a resolution was found only in the characteristics of medium format equipment. Thanks to him, you can print a picture of A1 format without scaling using photo printing. In addition, the model has implemented several serious technical innovations (a new system for monitoring the vibration of a mirror, a new exposure metering module, a customizable quick access menu, an integrated intervalometer, etc.).
The EOS 5DSR has much more detail than its predecessors, and in general, the picture quality when shooting static objects at low ISO values is much higher than that of the much more versatile Mark III. Canon EOS 5DSR — good niche camera for specific tasks.
