Weighing the 5Dsr against the R5 for architecture.

[KenJones_NJ]

I primarily shoot architecture, the exteriors, and the interiors of buildings and always use a tripod. I also shoot various heavy construction machinery & equipment, which I also shoot with a tripod as well as hand-held.

I'm currently shooting a 30MP Canon EOS R, but I'm looking to increase the file sizes to be able to crop in without degrading the image quality, which is the reason for considering the 5Ds r and the R5. And since I also have a Canon R6 II, I don't need either the 5Ds r or the R5 for the occasional video shoot. I'm also going to keep the R as an emergency backup for whatever body I decide to buy.

The big question mark in my mind is whether it's worth spending $1,500 more for the R5 over the 5Ds r?

I'd appreciate some guidance on this issue.

I'd go for the EOS R5 just for the options it has to help manual focus. Since you mentioned architecture I think you might also use a tilt-shift lens? If so the focus guide and manual focus peaking on the mirrorless models is a godsend and worth the cost increase. The EOS R5 is a step forward in quality over the EOS 5DSR and there's little difference between 45MP (8192 x 5464) pixels and 50MP (8688 x 5792 pixels).
