Finally got back into digital with Canon's excellent EOS 5DS R body. It's possibly the highest-resolution DSLR made, with a 50.1 megapixel (8688 x 5792) sensor, and the R variant additionally omits the optical low-pass filter usually used with Bayer-filter cameras in order to squeeze every ounce of detail possible out of it. I'm mostly interested in the high resolution for film scanning (a sheet of 4x5 at 1:1 magnification on here produces an output image of about 750 MP), but it's also good for general-purpose photography because of just how far you can crop in and still get a "reasonable" output size.

The rest of the camera is also nothing to sneeze at - it's pretty much identical in every respect to Canon's EOS 5D Mark III, with slight improvements to AF performance and evaluative metering, so it's got everything you'd expect from a pro-tier SLR body. Only nitpick is that the high-speed mode only goes up to about 5 FPS.

Anyways, I borrowed an enormous zoom lens and went down to the park with the duck pond. There is definitely a technique about using something like the Sigma 60-600 to great effect which I have not mastered, but of course the advantage of digital is I can shoot until the battery dies (which ended up being about 500 photos) and some of 'em are going to come out if only by pure chance.
