Canon 5D vs Canon 5DS R Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very tough to imagine the gap in sensor sizes just by seeing specifications. The picture here might provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the 5D and 5DS R.

Plainly, each of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different MP. You should anticipate the Canon 5DS R to provide more detail using its extra 38 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images far more aggressively. The more aged 5D will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
