Kinda odd that the recording times are all shorter or the same at 0 degrees compared to 23. Are they just the wrong way round?

Just FYI Topaz is not free either and if you want regular updates you basically pay an annual fee, which is for all essential purposes a paid subscription. There is no free lunch.

Canon is not forcing you to buy any of these subscription services to utilize either R5 Mk2 or R1. They are optional and you can easily buy / use other software except for the Content Transfer Professional which is $50 / year.

Batteries drain faster in the cold.

So, that was the paid subscription part of the rumors.
It makes sense that it would not be free if you are using their neural network.
There are probably people who are paying a lot of other subscriptions who won't mind if the price is worth it.
