Canon releases 50.6 Megapixel capable 5Ds and 5Ds R DSLRs

Just when it seemed like the DLSR camera market was going stale and falling behind the success of Interchangeable Lens Cameras (ILCs), Canon goes off and unloads a flurry of products. At the top of the heap is their new full-frame capable cameras with a whopping 50.6 megapixel capability. Also new are Dual DIGIC 6 image processors, a 3.2-inch fixed LCD, 61-point autofocus, cropped shooting mode and reduced camera shake.

They also include the EOS Scene Detection system featuring a 150,000-pixel RGB+IR 252-zone metering sensor that provides enhanced precision and performance. The cutting edge doesn't come cheap. These beasties come in June 2015 for estimated retail prices of US $3,699.00 and US $3,899.00 for the body only, respectively.
