I totally agree with the whole investment thing, it's never an investment... but I think when people use the term "invest in ______" they are referring to committing or the commitment into a mount... I don't think anyone actually expects a financial return on any purchase

I know, it's just a term. But people have used it in monetary terms with the camera gears they own. Just one of those things, I'll always comment on.
Just like when people say "I've got a lot invested in the car..."

Yea if I sold all my gear I would only be able to afford just a new body.... So no thanks
The only way to turn over your gear without losing your ass, monetarily speaking, is to buy used or refurbed. I can sell all of my stuff with almost NO loss because I did just that. In fact I could probably sell some specific pieces and make some $$ based on what the current used prices are.
I'm just not emotionally attached to canon so I always have my eye on "better" tools.
One of the hopes people had for the Nikon D810 was that it would feature 4K video, but even though Nikon made it obvious in the press materials that this camera is a capable video machine, the rumored 4K capability never came to fruition.
You can understand, then, why we’ll suggest you take this next rumor with a grain of salt. Nothing like getting our hopes up only to have them dashed.
According to Canon Watch, a tipster has told them that the Canon 5D Mark IV, which is rumored to arrive in early 2015, will sport 4K video capabilities. To be fair, it seems more likely that Canon will implement the feature than Nikon (given their history as a leader in DSLR video) but we’re still trying not to get our hopes up.
The rumored announcement is still a ways away, so keep checking back in the interim and we’ll be sure to update you as rumor sites reveal more of the camera’s potential specs.

Just remembered this, and I didn't mean new as in brand new in box, just new as in a newer body that what I have.

The long rumored high megapixel full frame Canon DSLR now finally coming, here is the first leaked image and specifications of the upcoming Canon EOS 5Ds / Canon EOS 5Ds R DSLR camera, the difference between Canon EOS 5Ds and 5Ds R is that 5Ds R has no low-pass filter.
Canon EOS 5Ds / 5Ds R specs:
I very rarely go above ISO 3200 - I'm usually around 320-800 or so - when I'm not at 100 that is - so the max of 6400 is completely OK with me. If I'm doing club photos (which I don't do too much these days) I'll entertain 1600-3200, as needed.
