Oftentimes, it is very difficult to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions purely by checking out technical specs. The image here should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the 5DS and SD9.

As you have seen, each of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 5DS using its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Canon 5DS will produce extra detail because of its extra 48 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The newer 5DS should have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
