Canon’s Retro Camera is Coming as the EOS R8 Mark II

Physical cooling is the main difference similar to what is being rumoured with the V version but takes out IBIS which offsets the passive cooling. We don’t know what the relative cost difference is.
The R5c has not only longer run times but also 8k60 vs 8k39 on the R5.
Adding the cinema menus but only via restart makes it a video SW version but looks to be shoe horned in vs a redeveloped integrated SW release.

my point was: the R5 and R5C are different beasts and extrapolating from them that a no video version would cost less would be incorrect in my opinion

I can’t comment on colour vs monochrome as canon hasn’t done that before and Leica charge what the market will bare.
Canon has released 2 Astro sensor bodies with the IR filter removed and charged more but that was a long time ago

Apart from Leica, Ricoh and PhaseOne have done monochrome versions of existing models as well. In all cases the monochrome version costs more than the color one and in all case the only difference is lack of color filtering. The color versions are all niche products admittedly, but the monochrome ones are niche in a niche

The Astro-Cam market is also illustrative. Astro-Cams (from ZWO and QHY among others) are pretty close to 'sensor in a box' designs where most of the complexity is offloaded to a universal driver. They have many designs where they offer a color and mono version of the same camera differing only in which version of the sensor they use. Even here, the mono versions are always more expensive.
