>>3693857>So you reckon either a EOS R or 5DsR?Based on the price you found on an EOS R (used?), I would say R or 5Ds. The 5DsR is another $300 and believe me, there's not $5 worth of sharpness difference between the 5Ds and 5DsR. Take the $300 saved and spend it on glass, a nicer tripod, a photo trip, filters, something.
5D4 is another good option, and another mix of feature points, but more expensive even new gray market on eBay. It would basically be the R's sensor, base ISO DR, and video with the 5Ds AF, OVF, and battery life. And a quicker frame rate than either.
The 6D2 is a decent camera but so close in price to a 5Ds, or the price you've found for an R, that it just isn't a contender. The sensor and video is better on the R, the sensor is way better on the 5Ds plus better AF. Same with the RP. Again a decent camera but if you're willing to go used or new gray market then you just have better options for the cash.
If you do go with a 5Ds, don't get obsessive with pixel peeping. The IQ is stunning when everything is spot on, but when it's not you notice more than with other cameras due to the 50mp. But you can't let something bug you magnified to 90" on screen if you're making a 20" print. To a lesser extent the same will be true with an R. 30mp and 50mp will show flaws that 20mp will not when you're pixel peeping. But you don't see those flaws when viewed at a normal size.
Oh and ignore mirrorless spergs. It's not mirrorless vs DSLR, it's just the feature set you want. 5Ds has OVF, battery life, and fast/confident AF so long as you keep a pt on target. R has EVF, better video, and better subject recognition/tracking AF. They both have advantages and disadvantages relative to each other.
Shooting a model in the studio with an 85 f/1.2? R's eye AF probably wins this. Shooting a fast moving bird, runner, or jet at an airshow? I'll take the 5Ds AF and lag free OVF.
