The 5DS R was revealed 8 years later than the SD14 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras offer the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before diving straight into a detailed comparison, below is a short overview of how the 5DS R scores versus the SD14 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 5DS R and Sigma SD14. The full galleries are available at Canon 5DS R Gallery and Sigma SD14 Gallery.

In case you're aiming to lug around your camera regularly, you are going to need to take into account its weight and measurements. The Canon 5DS R enjoys physical dimensions of 152mm x 116mm x 76mm (6.0" x 4.6" x 3.0") having a weight of 930 grams (2.05 lbs) while the Sigma SD14 has proportions of 144mm x 107mm x 81mm (5.7" x 4.2" x 3.2") with a weight of 750 grams (1.65 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you have chosen at that time. Underneath is the front view measurements comparison of the 5DS R and the SD14.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the 5DS R and SD14 is 55 and 59 respectively.

Normally, it is hard to visualize the gap in sensor measurements simply by viewing a spec sheet. The visual here should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the 5DS R and SD14.

As you can see, each of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 5DS R with its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon 5DS R will provide you with greater detail because of its extra 46MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more recent 5DS R should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
