Like you I was waiting for the announcement on the 5D Mark iv. And just like you my heart was really set on the 5DSr, I approached it like this, I prefer darker photography so the less than ISO of other models was not a real factor, I prefer landscape specifically waterscapes and I like 16” X 24” prints or larger, or viewing on a 24” or larger high quality screen, the lesser fps was also not applicable to my needs, I was not concerned about the Wi-Fi or the GPS, so the omission on the 5DSr was not a concern and if it becomes one it can be added on.
Like any decision you will make, next month, next year, etc….
Something new will arrive, so the decision to wait is paramount, however at one point the decision will have to be made and for lack of a better term “Now”
My decision on any purchase of a device that is technology driven is always based on the needs of the moment and the desires of the heart, for to me, they outweigh the potential possibilities of what could be, what will be, because they are forever in flux, so any decision will always come with a sense of regret as soon as another announcement of the “Next Model” occurs.
Think of it this way, remember the first camera you acquired, now remember every one since then, no matter which one you buy next, it will probably not be your last…
For what it’s worth, I purchased the 5DSr, my only regret so far is the lack of time I have to utilize it lol
