Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you are employing during that time. Here is a front view proportions comparison of the 5DS compared to the I-10.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the 5DS and I-10 is 55 and 93 respectively.

Quite often, its hard to imagine the gap between sensor measurements just by reading through specs. The graphic below might give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the 5DS and I-10.

All in all, each of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 5DS using its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF easier and the Canon 5DS will give greater detail using its extra 39 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots more aggressively. The fresher 5DS provides an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
