We already listed pros and cons of each model. However, you may also find useful to look at their common strengths and weaknesses shown side-by-side.

Screen

Canon EOS 5DS R has a 3.2" Fixed screen with 1,040k dot resolution and Fujifilm FinePix SL1000 has a 3.0" Tilting screen with 920k dot resolution. Tilting screen makes Fujifilm FinePix SL1000 very useful for photography purposes but not so useful for video shooting.

Viewfinder

Canon EOS 5DS R has a built-in Optical (pentaprism) viewfinderFujifilm FinePix SL1000 has a built-in Electronic viewfinder with 920k dot resolution. Canon EOS 5DS R has 100% coverage with 0.71x magnification and Fujifilm FinePix SL1000 has 97% coverage magnification.

Canon EOS 5DS R features a 50.6 megapixel Full Frame CMOS sensor with dimensions of 36 x 24 mm and a total area of 864 mm². Its native ISO range is 100 - 6,400 and expands to 100 - 12,800 in boosted mode. Fujifilm FinePix SL1000 features a 16.2 megapixel 1/2.3-inch BSI-CMOS sensor with dimensions of 6.17 x 4.55 mm and a total area of 20.7 mm². Its native ISO range is 64 - 12,800.

Fujifilm FinePix SL1000 has BSI-CMOS sensor, short for Backside Illuminated Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor sensor. In traditional CMOS sensors, the wiring and circuitry are located on the front side of the sensor, which can block some of the incoming light. BSI technology flips this design by placing the photosensitive elements (pixels) on the backside of the sensor, allowing more light to reach the pixels. This significantly enhances light sensitivity and improves low-light performance. BSI-CMOS sensors are particularly effective in low-light conditions, as they can capture more light, resulting in brighter and less noisy images. This makes them well-suited for indoor and night photography. BSI-CMOS sensors deliver a higher SNR and reduced cross-talk.

Canon EOS 5DS R is equipped with Dual DIGIC 6 processor and can take pictures up to 8688 x 5792 resolution. Fujifilm FinePix SL1000 can take pictures up to 4608 x 3456 resolution.

No Low-Pass Filter on Canon EOS 5DS R

There is no optical low-pass filter (OLPF), also known as an anti-aliasing filter, in front of the sensor on Canon EOS 5DS R. This results in a slightly sharper image but may also introduce moiré patterns and aliasing artifacts when photographing subjects with fine, repetitive patterns or details.

Fujifilm FinePix SL1000 has an image stabilization.

Bluetooth on Fujifilm FinePix SL1000

Fujifilm FinePix SL1000 has a built-in Bluetooth which lets you to connect the camera to a smartphone or a dedicated remote control device. This allows you to remotely trigger the camera, adjust settings and controls remotely through a paired mobile app. While Wi-Fi is generally faster for transferring larger files, Bluetooth can be used for small, selective transfers, it can provide real-time information about your camera's battery status, memory card capacity, and other key settings directly on your paired smartphone or smartwatch.
