Canon really raised bar today not only in the Full Frame Digital SLR arena but in the photography world as a whole. They announced not one but TWO high resolution full frame sensor models - the EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R.
So why two models instead of one you may ask, what is the difference between 5DS and 5DS R?
In a nutshell, the difference between the two models is Optical Low-Pass Filter. Whilst both models share the massive 50.6 Megapixel sensor and shooting capabilities, the EOS 5DS R has the ability to cancel the Low Pass filter effect which in certain shooting conditions will give you a sharper image with finer details.
