Canon EOS R5C coming in January

CanonRumors has confirmed with their sources that the R5C is coming in January.  The R5C is a video-orientated variant of the Canon EOS R5.  It's expected that it will not have any heating issues and essentially unlimited operation.  The current rumors are still stating that it's using the same sensor as the R5, however, I'm hoping that Canon will replace the sensor with a stacked sensor for faster readout, eliminating the majority of rolling shutter.

The rumored specifications for the camera are;

• 45mp full-frame sensor (Same as the EOS R5)
• DIGIC X
• IBIS
• Canon Log 3
• Canon Log 2 is still being discussed
• No Internal NDs
• Unlimited 8K30P recording in Cinema RAW Light. XF-AVC and MP4
• Timecode in/out
• The same multipurpose hot shoe as the EOS R3. Which will work with accessories such as the Tascam XLR module.
• Active cooling
• 3/8″ or 1/4″ mounting point on the EVF for a top handle that won’t interfere with the hot shoe.
• Full-size HDMI Port
• The LCD has been moved further back to accommodate the cooling fan. So this likely means that it won’t recess into the body like the Canon EOS R5.
