Alleged Canon 5Ds Photos And Specs Leaked

With the Canon 5D MK II being discontinued, Canon launched the 5D MK III, but even then that was almost three years ago which means that it probably wouldn’t come as a complete shock if Canon had a newer 5D camera in the works. In fact thanks to recently leaked specs and an image from Digicame-Info (via Canon Watch), we could be getting our first look at the new Canon DSLR.

The camera, if the rumors and image are to be believed, will not be called the Canon 5D MK IV. Instead the camera will be known as the Canon 5Ds and there will also be a variant called the Canon 5Ds R. Unless these are cameras are going to be part of a new lineup, it is safe to assume that they will be the successor to the 5D MK III.

So what we can expect in terms of specs? Well according to Digicame-Info, the new cameras will feature a 50.6MP full-frame CMOS sensor. The body will be built from magnesium alloy and will be sealed against both dust and water. It will be powered by a DIGIC6 processor, 61-point AF, continuous shooting at 5 frames per second, video recording, and more.

So far apart from the huge full-frame sensor, we’re not sure what it is about the cameras that make it so special or different from one another, but these are just rumors so take them with a grain of salt for now, but hopefully we won’t have to wait too long for the official information.
