No, it does neither dual slot rec nor record additionally to the USB-C. I have the Video Assist connected recording ProRes LT at all times. Saved me twice.
Hello fellow filmmakers,
i have just finished postproduction on a music video shot on the BM4K in ProRes. The 1.8 was not out yet :-(
Everything turned out great with the camera, except that i really need a EVF or at least a loupe for it. Some EXT scenes
lack that extra bit of sharpness...
Enjoy anyway!

Novoflex is the best. The chinese adaptors have much play, but you can hard mount hem by using varnish or pieces of duck tape to filmly mount the adaptors to the lens mount.
The C500 will be an awesome camera, no doubt. There will be cameras that can do more, but anticipating the form factor from the C300 shooting 4K RAW it will blow you away.
Hello,
removing the frame that sits on the top of the beam splitter prism will bring advantages.
I did this on all my Bolexes (i shoot with). It prevents problems with the dust and smear in the viewfinder you describe.
My cameras now have a "open gate" viewfinder that is easier to clean and allows easier framing (i.e. with a sound boom).
You can use one of the ridiculously expensive ISCOrama lenses. These have a 1.5x sqeeze. Very good filming in HD for scope aspect ratios. Will work with 50mm lenses up on a 5D and 35mm and up on a 7D or similar APS-C sized sensors.
