Canon to bring a new Cinema EOS camea below the Cinema EOS C400?

I am for an R1C. Take the R1, don\'t remove anything, and just add a timecode + XLR, without dongling thing on the hotshoe.

I'd say remove IBIS and add C80 NDs and keep it usable for normal photography without the extra block of volume and weight.

R1C with built in NDs and minus IBIS makes a lot of sense. Not really "below C400" but a different category and hybrid flagship.

Not sure which sensor would they use for Cinema EOS camera positioned below C400 with which specs sufficient for Cinema range. Perhaps smaller C400 minus some I/O and with same card/recording capability as C80.

I think it is time to have proper stills camera functionality and basic cinema functionality in a flagship hybrid camera (R1C) now that the technology is there and folks also obviously want R5C successor.
