That's making the assumption that the 5D4 is 50MP, which it may well not be, so that better Low light performance can be achieved
Because, if true, they obviously think there is money to be had. If they only went 36mp, it would be a 'Nikon already have that, what's new?' attitude. With such a low high ISO rating, because you would assume of the large number of pixels, it will limit their versatility, and so probably sales. The higher price should compensate for that.I am confused to why they would release 3 variants of the same camera tbh...
A cursory glance at the specs suggests Canon have really lost the plot. An upscaled 7dII sensor is no alternative to a Sony 36mp sensor.
There's interesting stuff with the new AF sensor, but high megapixel at low ISOs makes it a landscape and studio camera, and not an improvement for anyone else.

Considering ISO6400 is pretty unusable on 5D3
I don't see what the problem is about this camera, it says it's aimed at studio and landscape photographers so the specs stack up in favour of these types of photography. It's also said that it is not a replacement of the 5D3 so why compare it to this? Isn't the whole point of having different models is to provide specific tools for the job rather than to just pump out jack-of-all-trades cameras?
I think you are spot on Graham, and for Canon users, I think this camera will be an absolute game changer.I don't see what the problem is about this camera, it says it's aimed at studio and landscape photographers so the specs stack up in favour of these types of photography.

As far as dynamic range is concerned, we're told that the new 5DS and 5DS R should give the same performance as the current EOS 5D Mark III. If true, this means that the new cameras won't be able to offer the same industry-leading dynamic range of Sony's current APS-C and full-frame sensors, but at least it isn't a step backwards. And hey - 50MP!
Given the 5Diii can't even match a sony compact camera for DR I susect this will be a big let down to those hoping to use this camera for landscape use. It might have the megapixels (although even 36 is too much imo) but if its 3 stops of DR behind the Nikon and Sony 'landscape' cameras its hardly a suited application.
It's quite obvious that it's a DSLR attempt to match medium format. Studio and landscape use only really. Horses for course. Why do people get so het up if it's not a camera for them?
Who knows, plenty out there to choose from. I guess the Canon users have been waiting for something with decent DR for a while though.

'Canon release barely updated camera no one wants'..shocker
I saw some images from Canon and the 5ds/r today...O M G !!
Any chance of a link to them Andy?I saw some images from Canon and the 5ds/r today...O M G !!
