Canon's new 5DS and 5DS R DSLRs will debut in June of 2015, each equipped with a 50.6-megapixel full-frame sensor Canon hopes will steal even more market share from the remaining digital medium format crowd.

The company said on Friday that at 50.6 megapixels, the EOS 5DS and variant 5DS R have the world's highest resolution for digital SLR 35mm full-frame sensors.

The CMOS sensor outstrips rival camera systems such as Nikon's D810 at 36 megapixels and Samsung's NX1 at 28 megapixels.

Available in June at 3,699 dollars for 5DS body and 3,899 dollars for the 5DS R body, Canon's latest shooters are aimed at advanced amateur and professional photographers.

The difference between the two is that the 5DS R removes the effect of the low-pass anti-alias filter, which is designed to counter wavy patterns.

Richard Berger, a spokesman at Canon's Tokyo headquarters, said the boosted imaging performance is supported by Dual DIGIC 6 image processors and mirror-vibration control system, which minimizes camera shake to ensure users get optimal results from the image sensor.

The new cameras' features include a 61-point autofocus array, a maximum ISO of 12800 and shooting up to 5 frames per second. Moreover, a Fine Detail mode brings out the faintest details of an image without the unwanted effects of over-sharpening.

At the same time, there is a time lapse movie function, a first for EOS cameras, with which still images can be automatically combined into a full HD movie clip up to 2 minutes long.

The company also added two models to its popular Rebel line of midrange and high-end digital SLR cameras. The T6s and T6i have a 24.2-megapixel APS-C image sensor, NFC and Wi-Fi capabilities, with Wi-Fi getting enhanced features such as continuous tracking of moving subjects in burst shooting mode.
