I have a Canon 5Dsr for stills and Canon C100 MII for video. So this camera is still playing catch up. I gave up trying to make a DSLR into a real video camera for documentary films -- just too many add-ons and limitations. And I use my Sony A6300 for 4K but I really don't like the way 4k looks. Maybe for nature stuff but just too clean for me. The cinematic dynamic range of the C100 MII is what works for me. And the 5Dsr is freaky beautiful at 100 iso, 8622 x 5692 res on my iMac 5K monitor.

You would have to selectively control noise manually if it is an issue. It's a tradeoff. If I was shooting landscapes for print I would take this camera over the new one.

I shoot all my stock stuff in 4K. Even though 4K sales are rare, it's future proofing and also allows cropping in editing for a 1080 image.5DM4 fails for me in that the 4K is only 30P max. Me and my 5DM3 will wait another 3-4 years for Canon to quit screwing around and make an affordable 4K/60P DSLR. Love the Canon look, but until that day I'll have to lug around my Sony FS7.

Love the Canon look, but until that day I'll have to lug around my Sony FS7.AFAIK, 30P is plenty. What does 60P get you? Or is it that you want to do slo-mo at 4k? I bet that comes in a firmware update.
I've had my mind set on the mk4 for over a year but now it's been released I just can't justify the $6k CAD with kit lens, especially as I hardly make any money from my photography. Think I'm gonna go for the 7d2 instead
I've shot a 5D III for several years now. I've been saving up for the 5DS R because I want the high resolution for my landscapes and studio work. I expect to use the 5D III for my carry-around camera and for what little event, concert and sports type of work I do.When I decide to replace the 5D III I'll probably go mirror-less since that'll make more sense in a walk-around camera. I expect to keep shooting the 5DS R in the studio and for landscapes for several years.So, no real interest in the 5D IV for me.
