First, a quick report on the new Canon EOS 5DS/R camera from a reader who attended a recent 5DS event in Asia (click on images for larger view):
- The Canon 5DS/R will start shipping in June, 2015
- MSRP in Asia will be around HK$26-27k
- The camera does feel heavy and sturdy
- Continuous shooting is slow as expected
- Shutter operation is soft (as in the 5DIII)
- The duplex display inside the viewfinder feels a bit complicated
The Canon EOS 5DS/R pre-orders will start tomorrow in the US according to the product listings at B&H:
