FYI, CVP discusses batt life in their review. Seems like it might actually be less time than the R5C tho 😳. This link goes straight to that section of the review:

 

This is always one if not the best camera review. The camera itself looks a very very good product except for the Stabilization. Another thing is the latitude test, which is for me the true to life DR test. And it is definitely not a DGO sensor and Canon is lying again about the 15 stops of DR(Not same test values). In the latitude test it scores about 7.5 to 8 stops of exposure latitude. Which is ok to good. For example the Panasonic S1ii in normal mode, does about 9 stops and the Arri Alexa LF 10 stops of exposure latitude.

I wonder what was the purpose behind developing this new sensor. Its not exceptionally fast, doesn't have new DR tech. Just to increase a bit of resolution and keep the 40fps burst of R6ii to put in R6iii?

More or less, that's it. Perhaps also, to be able to shoot Open Gate.

An important question for me is whether the C50 top handle/audio mixer is compatible with the R5C?

Looks like it's secured with two screws on either side - but maybe Smallrig or Tilta can make a modified cage that allows the top handle to be bolted down that way? 🤷🏾‍♂️

If it is compatible I wouldn't need to be pinning for that Tascam Fr-AV2 anymore. But if it isn't it would be another head scratcher bcuz between the C400's detachable monitor and now this top handle/audio mixer, I feel like Canon is missing these really big opportunities to open the door for Canon made essential accessories that are compatible across/within their cam/cinema lines which would further strengthsn their ecosystem.   

Either way, seems like a great piece of kit!

Apparently CVP confirms in their review video that the handle is NOT compatible with the R5C - which begs the question: what is the point of the multi-function shoe mount if something like this new multi-function top handle isn't compatible, but the Tascam one is? 🤷🏾‍♂️

I don't know about electronically, but the new handle definitely wouldn't be physically compatible with the R5C, given that the top isn't flat and doesn't have 1/4x20 holes to screw it in.

Yeah but I imagine Smallrig/Tilta could maaybe make a special cage that has the right compatibility with those screws?
