*Update* I have had conflicting information about the announcements next week. While all of this information below is correct, it may not all happen on January 19, 2022. More to come…
I love announcement week! I have now confirmed more Cinema EOS goodies that we can look forward to.
Canon EOS R5C
The Canon EOS R5C! Canon's active cooling video-focused version of the EOS R5. You can check the rumored specifications here.
Canon Cinema EOS C70 Firmware
Canon will announce new firmware for the Canon Cinema EOS C70. The new firmware will add RAW. I don't know if it's external or internal.
New Cinema Lenses!
Canon will announce new compact cinema zoom lenses. I think it's safe to assume that the RF mount will be offered.
New 8K Options?
The Canon Cinema EOS C300 Mark III and Canon Cinema EOS C500 Mark II will get new modules. It's been rumored for quite some time that we'd see 8K versions of these cameras. I haven't confirmed what the “modules” are, but I think Canon is about to go all-in on 8K.
The official announcements are scheduled for January 19, 2022, at 7 AM EST.
Raw for my c70 is a lovely surprise though.

It also doesn't make a lot of sense to me to release new RF cine zooms, which we can expect to be very expensive, when the only Canon cine camera that could use them are the R5C and C70 -- neither of which are intended to be used as A cameras on pro sets.
Next in line will probably be an entry model below (or replacing) the RP.
It wouldn't totally surprise me if the R5 "Mkii" and the R1 were both released *before* the alleged 100MP model.
There are also several factors that might contribute to a long delay, including:
Since the flange distance is shorter with RF, the limitation is the design of the C300's body itself. There's no way to shorten that distance between the lens and the sensor without shaving off the front of the body itself. There would have to be an entirely new body design to use RF lenses.
Oh yeah. I have no idea on that. So, maybe…
I’m thinking a full frame line and a super 35 line.
R5c & C500RF - fullframe
C70 & C300 - super 35
If they added a $7k full frame camera like the c70 but with a better body shape and call it the c50 they would be onto an absolute winner of a full frame line.
C5, C50, C500
They would sell soooo many of this range. It would be the canon version of the Sony FX Line
