Thanks to all for your thoughts.
It looks like all who have the 5DSR are pretty happy with it. I guess my main "fear" was getting one and then kicking myself a few months later.
The reason I am trying to figure this out now is simply that for me, living in the Northern US, is that shooting season is coming up, and if I'm going to upgrade, I'd like to get as much use out of it as I can as soon as I can. Like Surapon said, life is short. Otherwise, I'd just wait a few months and go from there.
I would mainly use it for landscapes on a tripod in live view, but as we all know landscapes=sunset/sunrise=DR issues.
It looks like, resolution aside, the 5DSR colors/banding etc are somewhat better than the 5d3, and even the DR is a bit too. I suspect I will still be bracketing everything and still using luminosity masks etc.no matter what i shoot with.
My other question for all you guys lucky enough to own a 5DSR is exactly how much does movement artifact and diffraction matter in the real world. If, as Roger Cicala says, you just forget any special technique and shoot it like any other camera, will you still notice enough improvement over the 5d3 to make it worth it?
I am pretty happy with my 5D3, and agree it's a hard act to follow.
And thanks again for the feedback from everyone!
