Difference between RAW light and cinema RAW light?

So, the R5 got the option to record video as RAW light in the latest update, yet the R5C is supposed to record cinema RAW light. Canon said it is the first EOS camera to support cinema RAW. Which made me wonder what's the difference.

When I was searching online, I only found one site saying not to confuse the two with each other, but didn't give further explanation.

Does anybody know the difference of these two? I mean isn't the R5C basically the same camera minus IBIS and plus cooling?

From what were announced.

Canon RAW light offers only one compression option at 1.7Gbps

Canon Cinema RAW offers 3 compression option: HQ, Std, Lt

Cinema RAW Std has 2.0Gbps = higher quality than Canon RAW light

Re: Difference between RAW light and cinema RAW light?

Any more info on the differences between (video) RAW Light on the R5 and Cinema RAW Light on the R5C? Will canon ever make Cinema RAW Light available on the R5? (or has it already with the latest firmware update?)

Which is easier to edit in DaVinci Resolve?
