The 5DS R was revealed 7 years later than the E-3 and that is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras come with the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before delving through a full comparison, below is a brief view of how the 5DS R grades versus the E-3 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 5DS R & Olympus E-3. The full galleries are provided at Canon 5DS R Gallery & Olympus E-3 Gallery.

If you are going to lug around your camera often, you're going to have to factor in its weight and dimensions.

Don't forget, the weight of an ILC will vary dependant on the lens you select at that time. Underneath is the front view sizing comparison of the 5DS R against the E-3.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the 5DS R and E-3 is 55 and 56 respectively.

Typically, it can be hard to imagine the gap between sensor measurements purely by looking at technical specs. The photograph below will give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the 5DS R and E-3.

As you have seen, both of the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 5DS R using its larger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Canon 5DS R will resolve extra detail because of its extra 41 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics much more aggressively. The younger 5DS R should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
