All in all, each of these cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The 5DS featuring a larger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF simpler and the Canon 5DS will offer more detail as a result of its extra 46MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The younger 5DS should have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
