While the 50.6 megapixel sensor is capable of delivering the highest image quality from any Canon EOS camera to date in terms of out-and-out resolution, it does limit it versatility, with the 5fps burst shooting rate not proving fast enough for sports/action/wildlife photography, and the expanded ISO range of 50-12,800 limiting what the camera can do in more testing low-light situations. And as we've discovered after shooting thousands of images with the 5Ds and a variety of older and newer lenses, only the latest and greatest lenses together with careful technique are good enough to get the absolute best out of that 50 megapixel sensor.

The maximum resolution of about 50 megapixels and the continuous shooting speed of about 5 fps are simply remarkable. Are there any efforts that are worth special mention?
Morita While this is also applicable to cameras other than the EOS 5DS series, it is necessary to ensure that the firmware allows for the smooth operation of the series of systems from data loading by the image sensor to data processing by the image processor and data recording after converting the file format. It is the first time for the firmware to handle a data size as huge as 50-megapixels, and we have put in a lot of effort into the various firmware processes, including the transfer of data between the two DIGIC 6 processors.
What changes were made to the existing firmware following the upgrade of the pixel count to about 50 megapixels?
Morita The huge amount of data has a significant impact on the firmware. In order to ensure speedy and smooth data processing under such conditions, advanced and complex processes are needed, such as parallel processing while switching between the memory spaces. As there is limited space in the built-in memory of the camera, it is important to consider how this space can be utilized most effectively.
