Canon EOS 5DSr - 50.6 MP Full Frame
Canon EOS 7D Mark II - 20.2 MP APSC (1.6 crop factor)
As it is very grim outside I thought I would compare my newly purchased 5DSr with my 7D Mark II. Although I mainly bought the new camera for landscape work, there has been discussion on various forums as to how they compare for bird photography. Although the 5DSr is full frame it effectively has about the same amount of pixels on the subject as the 7D Mark II.
Glenn Bartley found that the detail from the 2 cameras was similar, Art Morris found on the other hand that the 5DSr was sharper, due to the lack of an anti aliasing filter (the 7D Mark II has one). However his tests were with a bank note.
My test was using a Northern Flicker tail feather (found on the ground in a forest I hasten to add). Canon 500 F4 Mark II with 1.4 Mark III extender (my normal set-up). Mounted on Gitzo tripod. AV 5.6, ISO 1600 (to see how they compare at high ISO), feather 6m from the camera focal plane - a typical ideal distance for me when photographing perched birds. Before starting the test both cameras had been micro adjusted for this combination using a Spyder Lens Cal (at the same distance).
Anyway - be interested in your thoughts, to me they look very similar, both in detail and ISO performance. I took shots with and without mirror lock-up on the 5DSr, but could see no difference.
The AF systems are very similar, but 5DSr has half the frame rate of the 7D Mark II. The full frame 5DSr would avoid you clipping off parts of the bird for close encounters in flight, not that this happens too often, but recall my (almost) best Short Eared Owl shot from last year with the 7D Mark II when this happened as one flew right over my head.
Flickr is a bit restricting in this sort of detail comparison, but to get a closer look, download the original file (down arrow icon at RHS of black frame).
I did a 1DX versus 7D Mark II feather detail comparison last year, but on a real bird that time! Have attached that shot below, where as you would expect the 7D Mark II in good light had a distinct feather detail advantage.
Update 20/2/17. Took the 5DSr on its first trip Sunday to try and photograph a wonderful and very rare Bluethroat in Lincolnshire. Must say I am pretty amazed at the results, whilst my feather test proved inconclusive actual shots taken in the field have such amazing feather detail - I am now convinced it is a serious step up from my loyal 7D Mark II. Example included below the Kingfisher shot.

It has been a rough winter. A blizzard has the reindeer stuck in the North Pole Pass. Things have not been pretty among the reindeer. Actions have been performed that we won't talk about. Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, and Cupid are all gone. Donner and Blitzen are doing what it takes to survive. Donner, however, is not struggling as much with the situation. Though his psyche seems quite damaged.
I am still a bit in shock at what we were able to witness. My friend and I went on a spur the moment trip to Big Island of Hawaii to document a bit of the Kilauea Volcano action going on right now. The first day, June 16, 2018, we chartered a helicopter with Paradise Helicopters and the second day we did the Lava Boat Tour. It was an incredible experience, to say the least, but also very eye-opening and pretty sad. Seeing the area where over 400 (over 600 now I believe) homes were taken out was pretty crazy. Seeing how fast the lava was flowing out the fissure 8 was even crazier, as seen in this collection. But seeing Kapoho Bay completely filled within days and Leilani Estates practically gone, was definitely the most shocking part. I guess we have to still remember these islands were formed by lava to begin with.
“Since May 3, 2018, Kilauea has erupted more than 110 million cubic meters of lava. This fissure has produced a lava fountain pulsing to heights of 185 to 200 feet (55 to 60 meters).”
These shots was taken on June 16 & 17, 2018.

50.6 Megapixels! A revolution in DSLR resolution
Canon has announced the 50.6 Megapixel EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R; its highest-ever resolution cameras, offering unparalleled levels of detail never before seen in a 35mm full-frame DSLR...
The EOS 5DS is Canon’s highest resolution DSLR to date, designed to offer editorial, landscape and advertising photographers the ultimate in image size and quality thanks to the 50.6 Megapixel sensor with an optical low-pass filter.
The EOS 5DS R is the same as EOS 5DS, bar one important difference in that it incorporates a low-pass cancellation filter to offer the maximum level of sharpness from Canon’s revolutionary new sensor. Studio and advertising photographers in particular will appreciate the extra level of detail offered by the EOS 5DS R, while all photographers will relish the ability to produce stunningly detailed 8688 x 5792 images from both cameras, with A0 prints readily achievable at 200dpi.
The 50.6 Megapixel Canon CMOS sensor is the highest ever seen in a full-frame DSLR, offering photographers new levels of resolution and detail.
Revolutionary image sensor – where every pixel counts
Canon has won itself a strong reputation over the years for sensor design, innovation and image quality and this commitment to continuous development is ably demonstrated with the introduction of the 50.6 Megapixel CMOS sensor.
The sensor’s advanced architecture provides ISO 100-6400 sensitivity (expandable to 50-12,800) ensuring ultra-high resolution with low noise, accurate colours and a wide dynamic range.
For added flexibility, the cameras’ resolution enables three new in-camera crop shooting modes – 1.3x, 1.6x and 1:1. Visible through the viewfinder, the crop modes deliver outstanding, high-resolution results; still producing a 19 Megapixel still image when cropped to 1.6x.
Ultra-fast image processing
Built to withstand the most demanding of shoots, both the EOS 5DS and 5DS R feature EOS 5D Mark III weather-sealing along with Dual DIGIC 6 processors to ensure the rapid performance and responsiveness required to deliver first-class images with exceptional colour reproduction. The dual processors are built to comfortably manage huge levels of image data from the 50.6 Megapixel sensor, whilst simultaneously reducing image noise and providing the freedom to shoot at five frames per second, even with such large amounts of data being produced.
Both the EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R feature a 150k pixel RGB+IR metering sensor with Flicker Detection for accurate exposures.
Stunningly fast autofocus
Designed to ensure that every detail is in focus, the EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R feature an advanced 61-point AF system with 41 cross-type points, delivering incredible levels of image sharpness and accuracy across the frame. Both cameras comfortably maintain sharp and accurate focus with moving subjects, using EOS Intelligent Tracking and Recognition AF (iTR) to track both faces and colour. To reduce image blur, Canon’s advanced Mirror Vibration Control System uses miniature cams to drive the camera’s mirror up and down in a highly controlled fashion, avoiding sudden stops which cause vibration and softening the shutter-release sound in the process.
Both bodies feature a 150k pixel RGB+IR metering sensor with Flicker Detection, ensuring images can be captured with consistent and accurate exposures under varying lighting scenarios, including fluorescent strip lights.
Exceptional detail and unrestricted creativity
Putting unrivalled image quality at your fingertips, the EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R include a number of customisable modes and settings to ensure stunning results every time. A new Fine Detail Picture Style maximises the level of detail that can be achieved from the sensor, by prioritising the gradation of tones and detail, enabling advanced sharpness adjustment without the need for editing software.
Popular creative modes, including Multiple Exposure and HDR provide instant, in-camera creativity, while a built-in timer allows you to shoot over long periods and create stunning time-lapse videos without being tied to the camera or the need for advanced software and excessive kit.
The EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R feature magnesium alloy body shells, steel base plates and are weather-sealed to protect against dust and moisture.
First-class construction
The EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R have been carefully crafted using Canon’s iconic design DNA. Superb ergonomics and handling based around the EOS 5D Mark III allow users to select controls quickly and accurately while a 100% viewfinder with electronic overlay makes framing vital shots easy and can be customised to your preferred style.
The large, 8.11cm (3.2in) Clear View II LCD screen, with an anti-reflective structure, minimises reflection or glare when reviewing shots and also acts as a visual and accessible dashboard of the most commonly used settings.
A new Custom Quick Control screen means that the cameras’ type, size and position of icons are easily customisable to the user or shooting scenario. For simple, secure, workflows multiple card slots enable instant backup and extra storage, thus offering added flexibility.
Commenting on the launch of the EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R, Mike Owen, European Professional Imaging Communications Manager, Canon Europe, said: “The EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R take Canon into a whole new imaging arena, bringing medium format resolution to the award-winning EOS System with its vast range of lenses and accessories. Canon has consistently led the way with its sensor technology and this latest iteration of the CMOS sensor boasts levels of detail never before seen in an EOS body. The flexibility, reliability and ruggedness of the EOS System means that, for the first time, photographers can harness the speed of EOS with medium format levels of image resolution in almost any location, no matter how extreme. This is all possible in a product that is smaller, lighter and significantly easier to use than other cameras that offer this level of resolution.”

The natural wonder of Dead Sea was a spectacular experience. Floating on the water without the effort of swimming was an amazing feeling. However; that is the common tourist stuff. I was there for the images of Dead Sea with the Salt Formation as foreground with a good sunset. I did get couple of sunsets. Not as good as I expected; but it was good enough considering that I was there only for three nights.
However; what I didn't expect was to take an architecture shot. This was from the balcony of my hotel. In the first look I decided to have a dusk shot from here. So after the sunset; I came back to the car running full speed. Then drove as fast as I can to get back to the hotel. The roads here normally stay empty and there is no speed camera. So you can be a bit acrobatic with your driving without taking any risk. Any way I was only few minutes drive away from the hotel. Even though I am a very careful driver and a big speed limit follower as being used to driving in Swiss roads full of speed cameras. Means; my rash driving might be rash for me on my discipline driving style and may not be anything compared to many others!
At the end with still a bit red remaining on the sky and that large pool with typical middle east style building and the Dead Sea on the other side was decent enough to capture the moment to remind us the relaxing time we have spend there.
Please have a look at my website www.avisekhphotography.com for all my recent works.
Have a nice weekend.
Hope you will enjoy the picture.

A rack of lamb has to be the easiest main course one can put together for a festive meal. This time, the lamb was cooked with potatoes, olives, and tomatoes, the combination of which was briny, bright, and substantial. Did I mention it was really easy, almost fool-proof to put together? With complete honesty, I gave it three more minutes in the oven than I should have so it was more done than I would like. But hey, the favors were still brilliant.
