From what I could see so far (1 week of usage)
 
R5 II vs R5 advantages:
8k 60
SRAW
2k 240
Audio in 120fps and 240fps
Better rolling shutter
Better DR, CLog2
Better AF (I need to test more)
Better overheating resistance
6h recording limit 
Better IBIS (I need to do some more tests)
Waveform
4 channel audio
USB-C iOS support allows you to use an iPhone as monitor with the App with almost no latency. Does not work in video playback. App UI is a bit crap and does not take full advantage of the iPhone screen size
Full HDMI
disadvantages:
Price, especially vs used R5
Needs new battery
 
 
R5 II vs R5c advantages:
8k 60 RAW with internal battery
SRAW
2k 240
Better DR, CLog2
Audio on the same file for 120fps
More than double battery life, no need of external battery or battery grip.
IBIS (still need to check more for the wobble).
Better and much more customizable AF, all features available in all res and frame rate.
WiFi

Quicker way to delete video files
When playing back it has the view assistant LUT applied, why why and one more why the R5c cannot do this. Is so bad to show clients dull videos....
C1-C3 memory, super easy to switch between 8k 50 RAW to 4k 120 10 bit. You can also switch from PAL to NTSC with the C memory. On the R5c is a pita changing from 8k 50 RAW to 4k 120 10 bit, many menus and for PAL to NTSC is a reboot.
Switching video to photo and back is instantaneous, although it really never bothered me the R5c
Full HDMI
A bit smaller body
disadvantages:
Price
No crop RAW
No 4k 60 oversampled
Less customization, cannot really decide what you want on the screen, hdmi, evf
Less proxy choices, for 8k RAW just one as is 2k.
Overheats vs no overheats
Waveform is a single size and there is no way to assign a button to show it or not. R5c has two sizes plus button assignable. Seems a last-minute addition this waveform.
Peaking is available only in MF. I like a lot to have Peeking on also in AF so I can easily see if the subject is really in focus, or the AF did not pick it up.
False colors works only with view assist (709 LUT) disabled.
I like the cinema menus better, they seem more logically organized. The R5 II res/format/framerate is confusing, maybe I just need to get used to it.
 
 
Still missing from all of them the possibility of zooming in while video playback.... why is such a thing so difficult to implement?!? Also why I cannot stop on a frame and have a clean screen so I can check the framing...

Just saw the CVP tests - the big surprise here is the unique triple base iso - really impressive feature in the under-exposure latitude tests. This might be the best low light camera available

Rode is a prosumer company. 

Outlawed? Good luck with regulation!
A more likely solution would be a combination of a few things:
Platform verification and monitoring (Twitter does a good job) NFTs to secure authorship Education. Younger generations grow up w/ digital tech and are much more perceptive and discriminating. The gullible boomers are on the wrong side of disruptive technologies, but this too shall pass Anyways, there's also a creative and productive element. Why can't a creator choose to express in a different voice?

They need to ditch this ridiculous "pocket" design. I hope they release an updated 4K version of the real pocket camera. Also, a Komodo-like, modular box design w/ built in NDs. 6-8K. I don't expect autofocus or any cutting edge technology, but they can make these relatively simple changes. 

I just had a quick look at this and it seems that when using EF lenses with the MC21 you need to turn on the IS switch on the lens in order for IBIS to work. This was a bit strange to me as I'm used to a Metabones Speedbooster where the lens IS switch has to be turned off for IBIS to work. If it's not an IS lens then you don't worry about the switch, lol, because there isn't one. Then there are two options. One is body only and this is the best:

 
The other is a weird mixture of body and lens:

 
This second option is jerky with EF lenses on an MC21 and is in no way comparable to body only. So I don't think there is a way to have both full IBIS in all directions plus whatever the lens can do.
But, I think I remember seeing some  YT reviews with Panasonic lenses where the reviewer just stuck with body only. So I would say that body only is also good enough for EF lenses.

Looks like DJI is releasing a RS3 Mini
 
 

To be fair, I don’t think the main demographic of this camera would require DCI standards. Nobody aiming for cinema release would be using this camera. Much better options. 
This is for influencers. 
 

Tested on our R5 and RED Raptor, the RF 50mm 1.2 far out resolved the EF 50mm, which looked out of focus in comparison. Resolution isn't everything, but the EF also suffered from more chromatic aberration, fringing, and busier bokeh.
I don't know. Great lenses are expensive—even EF lenses like the 35mm 1.4 ii or the most recent EF zooms. The RF are nearly the same price as those—and the Sony counterparts as well. If you're complaining about the RF, you might as well complain about everything else.
About the RF exclusivity, we'll see how it plays out. Still see a ton of 3rd party RF lenses being released on B&H. 
 

Sensor size will increase, but it will be subject to limiting factors. One, diminishing returns and less demand for what a larger sensor size can get you. Not everybody in the market will need or care. Second, AI will increasingly simulate what larger sensors offer. 
Doesn't mean Apple and Google will dominate the pro industry. The pros will remain; what won't be the large prosumer market that buys pro gear for no good reason. They won't be able to afford the pro gear nor will they need it.
 

Don’t want kids?

Oh man, the Red One. I learned to operate with it, and while it was sometimes quite a bitch to work with, no question how amazing it was for digital. Truly groundbreaking. Saved up to buy the Scarlet as a wet hire, switched to Blackmagic and Canon for more commercial work, and now I'm back on Red because they priced it right. 
If you're into the Red One, you already know the answer. Komodo. 6K 16-bit redcode raw and global shutter will give you the most detailed, color-rich, film-like moving image. 
While this forum is centered more around hybrid, consumer cameras, discussions lean almost 99% video. Probably because what people want are accessible cinema cameras. Well, we've never gotten a pro cinema camera within reach until the Komodo.
