As you can tell, the 2 cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 5DS having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Canon 5DS will result in greater detail using its extra 30MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The older 5DS will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
