Canon EOS 5Ds, Worth buying or not?

[Ryanjrector]

Besides the sticker price of $3,000 new, are there any other massive drawbacks to this camera that i should know about before I buy it?

I will be looking forword to your feedback!

Thanks!

What Canon need is to have a camera like the Nikon 850 - high resolution, high frame rate, high ISO...Hopefully a new 7D Mark III will do that and will come out soon.  Quite a few of my BIF friends have abandoned Canon for this reason, sadly.

Re: the 850. That would be awesome but Canon is too late. I do not expect any further substantial DSLR releases from Canon, as the company is rightly focused on mirrorless, as is Nikon. 

Re: the 7D Mark III. There will be no such release. The 7D II is the end of the line.

Neither do I. 

"What Canon need is to have a camera like the Nikon 850 ..."

Of course everybody has their opinion but there is no way I would go for a D850 over the 5Ds or better the 5DsR.

I'll give you the better ISO of the 850 but the 5Ds and R has more of the things I prefer and less of the gimmick the Nikon has.

Plus, Canon has one thing that no other company has, and that is the lens line up. If no spec was better that alone is reason enough to go Canon.

I would never consider any Nikon over my 5DsR...
