I think the future is here...

Sony just came out with a compact/point and shoot that shoots up to 960p and records 4k

On top of this they also came out with this too

Sony A7R II 42.4MP and 4K Capable Full Frame BSI CMOS sensor

I am very close to being ready to buy a 5d mark iii. I'd like to hear opinions on whether I should save more and wait to get the a7rII? I'm upgrading to full frame either way, and I'm wondering if it would be worth my while?

I mean, you shouldnt spend $3k on a camera if you're still half and half... why do you need a camera that expensive?

I recently won a pretty decent amount of money from a local video contest and I have the money to upgrade now. I was thinking I would go with the mark iii because it is good in both photo and video.

After reading the specs on the a7rII, I have started to question whether I should wait for that, or stick with the mark iii...?

Do we know if Sony is gonna keep going with the a7s after this? It doesn't seem like this will have the same low light capabilities with that 42MP spec. Does anyone know about this?
