To sum up, each of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The 5DS having a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF easier and the Canon 5DS will resolve greater detail using its extra 27 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older 5DS is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
