Specifications and first image look at the R5C

CanonRumors has published some leaked specifications of the R5C ahead of its announcement on January 19th. As well, they have our first look at the R5C albeit low resolution.

From the image, if we tweak it a bit, we can see that the LCD hinge appears different. It almost appears as it's not a fully articulating LCD, hopefully, it's a double hinge arrangement. There is also an exhaust vent on the side. Perhaps with the exhaust vent, maybe Canon felt that having the hot exhaust air blow over the LCD screen was unwise, as would be the case with the traditional Canon fully articulating screen assembly.

The main sales blurb for the R5C from CanonRumors;
