Canon 5DS vs Canon 80D

Here, we will be evaluating the Canon 5DS vs Canon 80D, both Advanced DSLR cameras and they are both produced by Canon. There exists a big gap among the image resolutions of the 5DS (51MP) and 80D (24MP) and the 5DS (Full frame) and 80D (APS-C) have totally different sensor dimensions.

The 5DS was manufactured 12 months earlier than the 80D which means that they are both of a similar generation. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before we go right into a in-depth comparison, here is a simple summation of how the 5DS grades vs the 80D when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 5DS and Canon EOS 80D. The entire galleries are available at Canon 5DS Gallery and Canon 80D Gallery.

In case you're going to carry your camera often, you're going to have to factor in its weight and proportions. The Canon 5DS comes with external measurements of 152mm x 116mm x 76mm (6.0" x 4.6" x 3.0") with a weight of 930 grams (2.05 lbs) while the Canon 80D has measurements of 139mm x 105mm x 79mm (5.5" x 4.1" x 3.1") accompanied by a weight of 730 grams (1.61 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you choose at that moment. The following is a front view proportions comparison of the 5DS compared to the 80D.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 5DS and 80D is 55 and 59 respectively.

More often than not, it can be tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing merely by looking through technical specs. The graphic here might offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the 5DS and 80D.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The 5DS because of its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field simpler and the Canon 5DS will provide you with greater detail due to its extra 27 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The older 5DS will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
