IN THE RUN up to next week’s CP+ photo show in Yokohama, Japan, Canon has announced a little something for everyone. Two new full-frame DSLRs will push image resolution to bold new heights, while a pair of new EOS Rebel DSLRs are likely to make some serious mainstream waves.Canon also teased a long-zoom premium compact that looks like it will use the same 1-inch-type Sony sensor found in that company’s RX series cameras. It’s likely to be a compelling alternative to Sony’s own RX10, and I only wish we knew more about it.
New Full-Frame DSLRs Crack the 50-Megapixel Mark
Starting at the upper reaches of sensor size and resolution, the new EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R are the latest additions to Canon’s professional full-frame stable. Both cameras have 50.6-megapixel sensors; the main difference is that the 5DS has a moire-busting optical low-pass filter (OLPF), while the 5DS R does not. It’s a trend that started with Nikon’s D800/D800E DSLRs a few years back, the idea being that the lack of an anti-aliasing filter makes images sharper.
These new Canon DSLRs set a new bar for resolution compared to those 36.3-megapixel Nikons—and every other full-frame DSLR, for that matter. There are a few medium-format Hasselblad cameras with even higher-resolution sensors—they go for tens of thousands of dollars—but the 5DS series is winning the resolution race for the full-frame set.
The new models will sit right below the flagship EOS-1D X in Canon’s DSLR lineup, and they’ll cost a few thousand dollars less than that highest-end model when they become available in June. The EOS 5DS is priced at $3,700 for the body only, while the OLPF-free 5DS R will cost $3,900.
