Or Olympus E-M5 Mk ii with pixel shift to give 40 MP (tripod use only).

The 5D S and the 5D SR are aimed at studio, and landscape shooters, hence the rather low max ISO of 6400. Your average Joe will not be using this camera, they'll be buying a 5D mk III or mk IV.

Your average joe isn't buying s 5diii either!!

But a general purpose shooter, a wedding shooter, etc... Is still better served with the 5diii or d750.

Tom Bricker is basically "downgrading" from d810 to d750 according to his blog... And he is a landscape photographer, because he found 36mp files to be unnecessarily large. Very few types of shooters have any real use for over 24mp. Professional product photographers have some use for it.

I shoot a lot of landscape work . . . particularly panos and so the 50 MPLs using the 5D SR may be warranted, however, I would guess the majority of the photogs out there are probably not printing their images and so spending the kind of money it would cost for both of the new Canon models may not be warranted if your only posting them on FB, this website and others. I have the 5D MKIII and have been shooting for 40 years . . . and a good Amateur photographer and I have good equipment, but for the average photographer these new Canon cameras may not be necessarily warranted.

Even if you print 20X16, these cameras aren't warranted. If you print fine art gallery wall sized murals, then this is warranted. It's basically a medium format substitute. Fine art, product shots, etc. Truthfully, it's a bit much even for landscape work.

For people who do studio work, with a large amount of retouching, the more pixels the better.

It's a niche camera, just like the 7D mkII is a niche camera, for the do everything camera, you're supposed to buy a 5D mkIII or the 70D, depending on your budget.

Not necessarily . . . for High Res Panos where you are stitching together 20-100+ images you want that fine level of detail so that the viewer can explore. For printing of those high res panos such a camera may be cost justified . . . the jury is still out on this for me at this time

yes, I suppose it's good having extra megapixels if you're printing large. there's probably a limit to pixels getting smaller and smaller but I expect a 100 megapixel model will be out soon
