Canon EOS 5DS Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)

The new EOS 5DS create stunning images in great clarity and high resolution. At a whopping 50.6 megapixels, this new ultra-high-pixel camera offers high-speed continuous shooting maximum of approx. 5 fps. With other features such as 61-point high-density reticular AF and EOS iTR, the EOS 5DS is truly excels as an ultra-high-pixel camera.

Astounding image quality down to the minute details
With a 50.6-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor, EOS 5DS have by far the highest resolution in Canon's history of EOS cameras. To maintain excellent image quality, EOS 5DS features a standard optical low-pass filter to resolve any unwanted moiré effect. With the 1.3x and 1.6x crop modes enabled, users can still capture a stunningly high 30.5 megapixels and 19.6 megapixels image respectively.

Mirror vibration control system
With even the tiniest camera-shake blur, a perfect shot can be ruined. Using a camera-driven mechanism to reduce camera-shake blur, the new EOS 5DS uses a new Mirror vibration control system. The mechanism enables suppression of vibration that occurs during mirror motion. This brings out the full resolving power of the camera by decreasing camera-shake blur while softening the shutter-release sound at the same time.

Fine Detail preset
Fine Detail is a new Picture Style preset designed to maximize the camera's resolution to capture minute details, which are essential in professions such as architecture, landscape, fashion and commercial photography.
