Just ordered a 5DS R

It should be here in 3-5 days. It took me a while to decide as much of my photography is wildlife and autofocus is an important issue for me.

Congratulations on your new acquisition. Let us know how you like it.

Happy new toy!
I have tried one and was rather impressed! A far more versatile camera than you would think.
Unfortunately it didn't quite fit my needs but a fine camera nonetheless! Hope you have some nice glass for it to make the most of.

Well since the AF is virtually identical to the 1Dx and the 7DII I really hope that it is good enough! I would like a 5DS for shooting airshows with the 600mm. Same linear resolution as the crop options, for aggressive cropping, I am often down to just using a 15×10mm section of sensor while shooting at 600mm. 2.56× more sensor area to use before having to zoom out, whats not to like? Oh yes about £3000, when my body budge is probably closer to £300 All the other stuff like frame rate etc would be fine too.

you'll love it!!!
