So, I had to check the date on this post to make sure it was actually posted after the 5ds/r arrived. Ok, here is my take
1. 32mp or higher MP with improved IQ.
unless they are dropping the 5ds/r line, this won't be a big mp camera - my guess is it'll be 24-28mp.
2. AF & Metering improvements from the 7D2
3. ALL Crosstype AF
4. Fixed Blinking AF point fix.
5. 1/250th Sync Speed bump.
hopeful, but doubt it
6. Dual CF
look to the 5ds/r, it has cf and sd, so shall the 5d4
7. 7 FPS
thinking this may be up a bit more, only because it kind needs to have a fast frame rate to set it apart from the 5ds
8. Dual Pixel AF
9. 4K Video with S-log of some sort.
fine if it has it but personally don't care
10. Touchscreen
11. RAW 1080P if possible.
same as the 4k thing, don't care
12. Built-in RT flash controller.
Strongly doubt it
13. Peaking and Zebra
to show how much i care about this ...so peaking and zebra's...is that like being on LSD at the zoo? lol, not a video guy so no clue what these things even are....lol
14. USB Type-C/3.0
15. 3499$ or Less at launch.
reasonable, give or take
to those who want the 5d4 to have lower frame rate and higher mp's, seriously go rent a 5ds/r. If you want res, and quality, that's the beast for it. pushing the 5d4 over 30 mp's just doesn't make sense with the 5ds on the scene. The 5d4 will way more than likely continue on as the general purpose body.

I expect the 5div to simply be a high ISO version of the 5ds, with a 24-28 sensor fine random noise no banding at high ISO and 7 fps. In all other matters the same as 5ds
We all know this but still we dream wild dreams of DPAF and touchscreens! What you described is probably what they'll throw out and we'll go through the same motions we did last time!
On paper it will probably look crap but as usual it will be a workhorse for many a good photographer! Here's to one more megapixel and one more FPS. They might as well release it tomorrow!!
<pessimistic mode>
no pessimism, that is what will more than likely happen as there isn't much room for this to be a monster on the spec sheet.
I will say this, canon is making my plans difficult. LOL, after renting a 5ds I can say i really really like that camera. Before using it I thought, that's way too much for what I do (weddings), the 5d4 is gonna be the thing I need. But, as it stands, I don't need frame rate, I'd love a bit more high ISO quality, but, for the shots where it really matters (big prints or just wow that's awesome shots) - those will be with more controlled lighting anyway.
So for me, I don't need the super crazy fps, and unless something drastically changes - it looks as though the combo of a 5d3 and a 5ds will be my future setup (would be already but decided to invest in a iMac first). Yes, down the road when my 5d3 has more clicks on it, i may replace it with a 5d4 but I am highly doubtful I will be anywhere near an early adopter of it.
