I am standing pat with my 5DSR! Hard to believe Canon has not surpassed 50MP in eight years! Eight years!

Where is the 90MP that was rumored four or five years ago? Not that I need that much, but what the heck. At least match Sony.

I have thought about an R7, but I seem to be buying longer lenses instead!

I went to the store today and checked out the R6MKII. It's smaller than the 5Ds but it is very comfortable to hold. I'm very impressed by how quickly it focuses. Had the salesman try an EF 50/1.2 L and an adapter. I love it!

Having said the above, I am not sure if the R6MKII's IQ will be better than the 5Ds. Sure maybe from ISO 1600 and upwards. However, with my current software (i.e. DXO PL6 Elite featuring Deep Prime XD, Topaz Labs Suite and Adobe Photoshop) shooting at ISO 6400 is not an issue anymore. So basically I'll be buying the R6MKII for what it is advertised for----electronic shutter speed. That's assuming that I can get 12-20 fps with my EF lenses using ES. Mind you it will be useful for the sports that I sometimes do (i.e. indoor volleyball and outdoor tennis). Thus I'm still debating.

The R-series camera to rival the 5DS is the R5. It is close is resolution (frankly to the point where the difference is not significant, imo), but with much higher frame rate capabilities and much more versatility in terms of ISO, plus new AF, etc.
