5Ds

I must admit you have a point there, ordering the MH-1 now That's the easy part.

To decide on lenses I need to decide D810 or 5dsr first though. The one beats at 12800 ISO will get the $$$. So we'll see...

lol

Thanks for being a good sport. You might want to base your body decision on the lenses available in each system. Do you shoot with filters on UWA narrower than 16mm or wider than 15mm; need f/4 or f/2.8; do you need a 70-200 for sports or for closer subjects; do you need a 60 macro on full frame; is your price range for lenses 100-500, 500-1000 or 1000-2000; do you need tilt-shift lenses? If you want to shoot at 12800 ISO a lot, the D810 and 5DSR are odd choices.

No need to turn 5ds thread to Robinson's gear thread. I'm not totally lost about what I want. I already had a thread for my evil plans to switch to the dark side.

I simply shoot anything, and I love every type of photography, except humans, I don't love them to be in my photos. So I was in search for a camera that does the job in every type of photography, but not the best for anything, which 5dsr seems like a good candidate for that. For now the most hated thing about my T2i is the high ISO performance, I'm afraid to take photos over 800 ISO, acceptable results at 6400 or 12800 will be more than enough, I don't think that I'll need 102400 and 5ds-R because an unnecessary filter to lose details doesn't sound meaningful to me. It's easy to lose details at post processing but if I try to bring back details at pp generally the outcome is very bothering. That's why I aim for d810 or the 5dsr.

Edit: oh and as my t2i's strongest focus point is the center, I take pictures, and most times crop them heavily for 1/3. So got used to cropping, more megapixels are always welcome There's a really long list to explain why I'm interested in this camera

60MB raws and 15-20MB jpegs! After 3 shots, the camera has to buffer for several seconds, even with the fastest storage cards...no thanks!

They will all cap out at 50. I would be shocked to see anything over that...then again its never impossible

By 2020 there will be 100MP cameras that allow 1,000,000 ISO. Mark my words! It's unnecessary, but it'll happen.

I see no reason why in the distant future we should not have say 10,000 MB RAW files and ISO's going into billions.
Why not? As long as computer can keep up which they will be able too.

Imagine shooting something that is so small or distant you can not even see with your eye but after cropping by 1,000% printing a billboard sized image.
Or using cameras to make videos in complete darkness of bat-caves.

It might not be necessary for some or even most photos, but it would certainly enable a whole new field of low-light, stop-action photography without flash. ISO 1 million is not really that high a target; all we need to do is keep current quantum efficiency and get rid of read noise (or just get it under 0.15 electrons at the pixel level - which, contrary to popular belief, is easiest with smaller pixels), and ISO 1 million for full frame will be quite usable. The character of pure photon noise is close to flawless; it only has clumping and banding to very small degrees by freak chance. It does not cloud dark areas at all, like read noise does; it is a modulatory random decimation of the ideal signal.

and then we can view the pictures on the side of an entire building or the wall of your home.

or this

Quite a lot of Blade Runner has come true. Those giant video billboards were science fiction when that movie came out, now they are everywhere.
