Canon 5 DS

I received my 5 DS body for Father's Day. I also own a 7 dS mark 11 and a 1 DS mark 111. I have only taken a few hundred shots so far. The files are enormous and take a very long time to upload. In Lightroom they are also very slow when opening them in the develop module. I haven't printed yet but the thumbnails are very detailed and sharp. There is no battery grip available and the battery is very small for this high end camera? It is however quite a bit lighter than my other two bodies. I would love to hear what other hogs have to say.

I was told by B&H that the Canon battery grip for the 5D Mark III will fit the 5DS.

have you seen any great GREAT advantages of this body over your other two. I have a 5d mark 2 and love it. was thinking about getting the 3 and saw little adv to justify the price.
so i purchased a sony a6000 and love the results and the weight difference for a walk around system

Received my 5 DS body last Friday and have only taken a few pictures. So far I am extremely pleased with the results. The files are very large but I have not had any problem with upload time. They are a little slower, but something I can live with. It does appear the battery is going to drain pretty fast so I just ordered another battery form Amazon. I ordered the STK LP-E6 for 13.99. This battery had excellent ratings so should work fine in this camera. I also ordered a PNY 64GB high speed SDXC card for 27.99. This card also had very high ratings and this is a great price.
