The 5DS was announced 5 years later than the K-7 and that is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras feature the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before going straight to a step-by-step comparison, here is a short summary of how the 5DS scores vs the K-7 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 5DS and Pentax K-7. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon 5DS Gallery and Pentax K-7 Gallery.

In case you're looking to carry your camera often, you are going to need to take into account its weight and size.

Oftentimes, it is very hard to picture the difference between sensor sizing merely by checking a spec sheet. The graphic here should give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the 5DS and K-7.

As you can see, each of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The 5DS having a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon 5DS will resolve extra detail with its extra 36MP. Greater resolution will let you crop photos way more aggressively. The fresher 5DS provides a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
