I didn't know you had a 5dsr too. Do you use it much? Haven't heard your impressions. Or any comments on it.
Yeah I should have listed to David Arbogast a while back and got one sooner. There is nothing like it on Earth, well except the A7Rii for resolution....too bad the A7Rii
just cant handle my 400, 500 or for that matter the 100-400ii to suit me.
Honestly I love the 5Dsr and have really only scratched the surface ---in that I've not played with the bulb, the intervalometer, the in-camera time-lapse movie, etc.
For what I do....sadly mainly perched birds it is a freak machine for resolution. I've even found for BIF that 5fps is plenty. And the landscaping capabilities is a given.
Back to wildlife, it's the cropability. What other camera allows BIF with a wide angle lens! ha! It's well almost true but you can do with a 300mm what normally you'd
want a 500 {and this allows you to see so much of the overall field of view}, and I'm even looking at the EOS 70-300 just for this body--too bad it doesn't take a TC well.
Some of my EOS bud's said what? Wait for the 5Div, but I knew it wouldn't have anything close to 50.6mp's, in fact only way I'd cried was if the 5Div had more than the A7Rii;
now the specs are out that is moot.
Negatives- I've found the information in the viewfinder dim. The buffer is nothing like I'm spoiled with via the 1DXii. I used to own a 5Diii and the SD card was crippled in that
cam but fixed on the 5Dsr, and I've learned to have jpg to SD and playback from SD so gimping (or is it chimping??) is quicker than most said in the early reviews.
Yep a freak camera but I'm digging it.
All that said, I still carry my Lumix GX8 everyday, everywhere....go figure
