- With active cooling and these specs running 2x LP-E6 seems a must. Let's hope the existing R5 battery grip will work
- Maybe we'll get lucky and get a better ND adapter announced, one with a dial that can resist being changed by a slight breeze.
- No-cable XLR handle (C100 style) utilizing the new smart shoe? Not including this in the box or offering separately would be a huge oversight IMO
Seems like it's going to be a stellar camera spec-wise with real potential. Canon has made some bad choices last couple years with how they've segmented their cinema line, let's hope this is a change in direction.
- Yes, battery life is one of the biggest concerns. It's not awful on the R5 (I could get 2-hours on one battery), but it could be rough with the fan and hotshoe XLR module attached.
- There are a couple of third party VNDs that fit inside the Canon adapter that are WAY better. The Breakthrough Photography X4 VND is apparently a thing of beauty, is 1.5 - 11 stops in strength, and has no color shift at all through the range (unlike the Canon one which goes seriously blue for the last stop). I have one on pre-order.
- I think they'll just promote the new Tascam XLR as our dual XLR option.
Really hoping they have c-log2 or can at least get the DR up closer to S1H levels. That will be a big deal.
