Nikon D850
While on recent trip to Japan -- with one stop being a visit with Nikon to attend the award ceremony for Nikon's annual Photo Contest -- Dave Etchells had a chance for an exclusive interview and Q&A session with top Nikon engineering and marketing staff in Tokyo to discuss, among other things, the all-new Nikon D850. In typical IR fashion, we will, of course, bring you the full in-depth interview in short order, but we wanted to pull out relevant excerpts from the interview as it pertained to the D850.
When shooting in DX mode, the D850's AF system has exactly the same coverage as it does on the D500.
When we asked whether the D850 would support different AF fine-tuning adjustments based on aperture (to handle lenses with spherical aberration, that shift their focus point slightly when stopped down) or for wide and tele focal lengths on a zoom, Nikon replied that they're aware of user requests in this area and are studying the feasibility, but it sounds like it won't be possible to add this capability to existing cameras via firmware updates.
The D850 has very strong features for video recording, but when we asked if they would be positioning the D850 as a go-to camera for primarily video users, they replied that they still consider still photography as the camera's main focus. They did very specifically want to cater to the increasing number of traditionally still shooters who are now also shooting video, though, so treated video recording as a very important use case.
One significant feature of the D850 that we discussed with Nikon is its ability to shoot 4K video with no horizontal cropping. This is a big benefit for video shooters!
When recording Full HD video, the Nikon D850 offers the option of electronic vibration reduction. This is accomplished by using a bit less than the full sensor to create the video image.
Given the huge buffer size on the Nikon D850, we wondered how long it would take to clear it to the memory card. The D850 supports the very fast XQD memory cards, so we asked how long it would take to clear the giant buffer when using one of them.
Canon 5DS R
The Canon 5DS R, the highest-resolution EOS body to date, is an all-around striking camera that captures some seriously impressive, incredibly detailed photographs. The higher resolution sensor does make shooting technique more crucial though, and the video features and ISO range are limited compared to other full-frame cameras, so the camera is certainly not everyone. For professional and advanced enthusiast portrait, editorial, landscape and nature photographers looking for extreme image detail in a tried-and-true Canon DSLR package -- without jumping to a digital medium format system -- the Canon 5DS R is the answer.
Pros:
Phenomenal resolution and sharpness; Fine Detail Picture Style is like in-camera Unsharp Mask; Excellent print quality; Decent high ISO performance; Improved normalized dynamic range compared to 5D Mark III; Decent burst speed with good buffer depths; Built-in intervalometer & timelapse movie mode.
Cons:
AF speed tested closer to consumer-level DSLRs; Dynamic range lower than competing models from Nikon & Sony; Lack of OLPF means subject to more aliasing artifacts with some subjects; No 60p video frame rate; No headphone jack; Timelapse video is only 1080p.
Special update: The Canon 5DS R was named Best Professional Camera in our 2015 Camera of the Year awards!
When a simple 50-megapixel full-frame sensor just won't cut it, Canon introduced a sibling to the 5DS, called the Canon 5DS R, that uses a special canceled-out optical low-pass filter in order to capture even more sharpness and detail from the massive 50-megapixel sensor. Similar to the design idea of the Nikon D800E, the 5DS R
Apart from the low-pass filter cancellation feature, the Canon 5DS R is identical in design and specs to the 5DS. The massive 50.6-megapixel, Canon-designed, full-frame sensor makes the 5DS and 5DS R the highest resolution full-frame DSLRs in the world. Combined with dual DIGIC 6 processors like the 7D Mark II, this latest full-frame camera offers a substantial increase in sheer resolution over both the 5D Mark III and the previous 1Ds Mark III cameras.
