From the rumored specs of the c500 ii "...optional module for V-Mount batteries".
The c200 screen works with the c300 ii. What do you think the chances are of this c500 ii accessory existing at all and working with the c200?
I'd love to use v-mount batteries without rails so I'd be extremely interested, though I can't see how it can be done given how much stuff is on the back of the camera - 2x SD slots, audio controls, FUNC/CANCEL/MENU buttons, plus EVF tilt. There's a much stronger case for the more square design of BM UMP/red cameras if you need to add larger batteries. Looking at the fs7, its curve means the adapter isn't flush. I'd be surprised if canon's solution was elegant at all and I'm not saying I want canon to start making cubes/boxes but am curious what it would look like and would most likely still prefer an ugly adapter vs. rails.
I doubt it will become anything more than a bullet point on some poor dude's website but who knows?
