All those extra megapixels come at a cost. As an owner of a Canon 5DSr I know of what I speak from personal experience. Sure the resolution and details all those pixels produce is amazing but, as previously mentioned, you give up a lot for it. My D500, D7200 and 5DIV get used way more than my 5DSr because they are faster, create smaller image files and are a whole lot more practical and forgiving them the 50 megapixel camera. If I demand mind boggling detail then I use the 5DSr. A good example; I attended the Philadelphia flower show the other day. Did I use the 5DSr? No, I used my D7200 and 5DIV. The D7200 is much better with the available lighting and it's images are quite nice. If you don't want or need the advantages the fewer pixel cameras offer then get the more expensive one, but remember, you will be giving up useful features, and if you shoot RAW, you may need a faster computer with a lot more storage capacity. Those mega megapixel image files are huge.
