All in all, each of these cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The 5DS using its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Canon 5DS will offer greater detail having an extra 35MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics more aggressively. The younger 5DS provides a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
