I would have expected that the new camera would offer greater MP to match up with the Nikon. I was expecting that through an increase in MP I would afford to have larger improved prints which i can hang around in my exhibitions.... I guess this was a setback when even Fuji are generating raw files over 4m in length as far as image size is concerned

This is what phototips predicted and why, in his word, it would be industry changing. I don't think he said ground breaking. although it might be if true considering no one else would have it.
There is not mention of this in the spec sheet, however, and the OP says it appears at this stage that he ended up being wrong.
Although why is it $500 more than a D800??? I am confused.... I don't think we know everything yet...

I would like full-time autofocus during video capture, too. While the contrast detection autofocus during Live View/Video Capture isn't as fast or accurate as phase AF it could be, it is a really convenient feature that doesn't get enough credit. People dismiss it by often saying that (1) the autofocus noises that are picked up during recording are annoying, (2) it's slow and inaccurate, and (3) real videographers use manual focus.
I think that if you're using an external mic, or if you're going to cut out the audio anyway, the first point is moot. While I agree the continuous AF during video is at times slow or inaccurate, the option to have autofocus is convenient - you could always manually focus, but having the option of autofocus helps out a ton in some situations. Even though most videographers manually focus I think that by having a convenient feature like continuous AF during videos, Canon can not only sell more cameras to a wider segment of consumers, but that even professionals could rely on continuous AF at times when manually focusing is difficult. While one who is serious about DSLR videography ultimately invests in a shoulter rig, follow-focus, etc, not having to manually focus during video could conceivably allow people to hold the camera steadier in situations where they don't have those accessories.

I don't want to use a depth of field calculator, so a ray of light showing the near and the far limit of the depth of field would be appreciated.
In case of hyperfocal, the near limit would be enough.
Spoiler
5d4 should include a paralyzing ray, in order to stop any movement when the shutter is pressed.
