Quote from Canon's Chuck Westerfall
Despite some rumors to the contrary, Westfall said the 50.6MP CMOS sensors in the 5DS and 5DS R are developed and produced by Canon. When asked whether they were created in collaboration with Sony as some rumors indicated, Westfall responded by saying: “Absolutely not. The sensors were developed completely in-house, by Canon.”

My Thoughts (video)My quick thoughts - 50MP and ISO 6400 limit!! This is targeted at studio and serious landscape photographers. This will not be the replacement for the 5D Mark III and a jack of all trades camera. That will be the 5D Mark IV coming soon*, but apparently not as soon as these two. They will be officially announced next week along with the EOS-M3 and hopefully the Canon T6i (750D). *Northlight images is now reporting that the 5D Mark IV will be announced in August and feature 4k video with a modest increase in MP and targeted toward low light shooters. August feels FAR away so we need to take these specs, if we can even call these specs with some healthy skepticism. I will change my tune from the video and say if we are waiting till August to see a 5D Mark IV I do think it is a good possibility that 4K video will be an option.
D610 Offers an excellent sensor for just $1500D750 Offers a versatile camera that excels in low light focusing and produces very clean images at high ISOsD810 offers 36MP with no optical low pass filter (OLPF) this gives you stunningly detailed images 
D610 and the D750 share partial MA Skeleton. D750 gets carbon fiber exterior increasing strength and decreasing weightNikon Full Frame DSLR Weight:
One of the headline features of the D750 is the articulating display. The first full frame DSLR to offer. There is some nervousness surrounding the ribbon connection powe to the screen and yes an articulating screen is more prone to issues but all in all the additional angles you can shoot at without craning your neck or guesstimating on the composition are appreciated. The D750 is the smallest of the three and like the D610 some buttons on the left have dual purposes depending on the mode you are in. I find this to be slightly annoying The D810 has a dedicated button for almost everything and includes a dedicated AF-ON button too. 
The D750 has the newest focusing system of the three cameras with excellent performance in low light. Same points and spread as the D810 but with better low light performance. D610 is capable but not my first pick for speedy focusing when the light levels drop. 
My Favorite features of the Nikon D750
A few small items that I don't love about the D750.
NIkon has quite the full frame (FX) line up now - Nikon D610, Nikon Df, Nikon D810, Nikon D4s. The D750 sits just below the D810, borrowing and actually improving on the AF system with 51 AF points. It does include a popup flash and all of the video features of the D810 but adds WiFI and a tilty screen. In this crowded line up the D750 offers lots to love and the body only price point is reasonable for a camera at this level. I expect that this will be in high demand through fall and into winter. I'd love to hear your thoughts, leave a comment below. Support my work. Purchase your gear through the links above. 
I recommend PNY SD Cards. The 64GB Card offers 90MB/s and costs just $33. Reliable, fast and plenty of room for all your photos and videos. 
Canon's 7D Mark II isn't the only new DSLR that we will hear about in the next few days. Nikon has a new FX (Full Frame) camera coming - official announcement may be tonight.
Let's look at the similarities
