Here are some Canon EOS R5 C specifications

I am very curious about that new on/off switch with the selections for Photo, Off, Video. I think it’s a nice compromise for those who missed that photo/video switch from the DSLR line (which was brought back for the R3). Although I can see it also being annoying, not being able to know if you’ve turned it off or merely switched it to the other mode when in the dark or not looking.

The R5 does not have C-Log2, not even in raw. ************* did a test and though you can change the log-curve in post to C-Log2, it's actually treating it like C-Log. Changing it to C-Log2 does not get you the benefits of C-Log2, but actually just makes for a worse C-Log. C-Log3 from capture through post is the best DR for the R5 and will probably be so here as well.

But it is kind of pseudoscience.
The complexity makes the subjectivity seem objective.
Image quality is pretty subjective and "usable" means a different thing to each person.
Also, ISO is different between cameras even from the same manufacturer.
Oh, that makes me wonder. If this is cinema line, will the native ISO be 800 like other cinema cameras or 100 like the R5?

If i remember correctly, the 1D C had a native ISO of 400.

I must say thats realy a nice feature in my opinion :) Going over a combination is not ideal in the R5 in my opinion =)

Actually if you go back to the first comment on his video he admits that he was wrong about that and that it indeed has Clog2 in RAW

We really have no idea what constraints the 8K 60 on the Z 9 will have.
Nikon only rates 8K 30 to run continuously for a little over 2 hours.
The R5C is stated to run indefinitely.
You can record for longer if you hit the record button again. No one is quite sure why it decides on the start to set a countdown as it isn’t based on heat or storage available. We do have the big video firmware due soon™ and I look forward to seeing more video features I’ll try once on my Z9 before returning to taking real photos.

So, one question that comes to mind for me is, if the camera has a fan, then it needs two vents, so what impact will that have on weather sealing? And from there, what will be the impact of sucking in ambient air that could have a lot of moisture?

It strikes me that the more the industry seeks a holy grail, the more elusive it becomes. Trade offs are always going to exist.

I suspect a heatsink will move heat to the back of the camera where the fan will draw air across the outer surface, so a) weather resistance wouldn't be impacted, and b) no humid air would reach the camera internals. I recall seeing some pictures of a Panasonic camera with such an arrangement. Just a guess, but we'll find out tomorrow.
