I think a 5D4 is overkill for all but the absolutely most serious photographer on a trip oriented virtually exclusively for photography.

Well, lots of us are serious around here. However, if you don't need the AF functionality of the 5D4, then you might wait for the 6D MkII to get the latest generation of sensor. It's about time to replace the long in tooth 6D.

I think that the 6D and 5D have always gone after slightly different crowds.
