As you can tell, both of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 5DS R using its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon 5DS R will offer you more detail with its extra 46MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots more aggressively. The more recent 5DS R should have an edge in sensor technology.
