Should You Buy The RED KOMODO, Sony FX6 or Canon C70?!

Red Komodo X

Love the video. I was already with the fx6 before watching this. And his detailed compare video only made that solid. With that komodo you're only buying the name. For the same price point you can get the fx6 and be way ahead of the game.

fx6

He is in different rooms for the four panel comparison videos! Dishonest much?

Canon always bringing out the ugliest camera

thanks

Komodo sounds like an awesome camera, but god damn it’s ugly. Looks like a mini pet cage ffs.

Komodo all day

I dunno, but you gotta buy somethin'!

Fx6 for me,love it.Good value for the money I think.

C70 is the best camera for wedding and events photographers,.

Used on dif projecst all three (rent) and finally bought FX6. Komodo is great cam but you need to rig it every time (it's ok for commercials but for corporate and doc not so) and really bad in lowlight (compare to others two), C70 is simple camera to use with, you can just get it from rental house 2 hours before shooting and setup it quickly, but it is not good for scenarios other than run and gun because of form-factor and difficult rigging. IMO FX6 is most universal, you can use it in multi-cam story, it has all I/O you (and sound guy, and focus puller) need. No rigging or cage need for most work, perfect doc and corporate camera but it's not that camera you can get in rental in day you planning to shoot if you never working with Sony cinema cameras before, because menu logic is HELL, its so overcomplicated and frustrating! 🥵

Conclusion: all three cams are really good and you can get excellent image from any. Just get "right" cam for your type of works.

C70 doesn't have SDI output which I feel major drawback for live video display

Which one do you recommend for Church?

Get a RED Epic Dragon 6K... thank me later

I bought 2 FX6's . Thinking about a third or FX3

Canon❤

there is no 16 or 12 bit raw. every raw format shown here is both 16 bit linear and 12 bit log at the same time. 16 bits is for marketing purposes only. 12 bit gets converted to 16 bit linear in programs like Resolve through its automatic color managment or CST. thats it.
Not saying that red has same or less DR then the others, as DR is totaly different thing compared to how much information is stored and how by the camera.

Thank you guys. I have been binge watching your videos for the past week as I'm thinking about getting an FX6 to use as my main A cam and using the SIII as a B cam. One question I can't seem to find the answer for, is does the FX6 balance okay on older gimbals like a Crane 2 or smaller ones like the DJI RS3 with the monitor mounted on it? Thanks!

BlackMagic 6k Pro EVERYTIME 😂

what's the power options for the C70, does it have AC power

Looking to use one of these for live streaming, Any suggestions?

Anything except Red, due to the way they are wielding their in-camera raw patent. Hope it gets invalidated.

Such a good comparison!

Interesring that you didn't include anythimg from Blackmagic. They are far superior in almost every category. But eahteva

Fx6 is the camera which can do almost everything
It have 10 bit ,full frame sensor, 4k 120fps and even raw external recording , internal ND filters etc
But we all know filmmakers buy red just because they want to impress the client and yes I know red have this so called cinematic look which most people can't even tell the difference
"but is it really what you need" when you spend $6k
Cinematic look heavily depends on the lighting, how you customize the environment, director's experience, experienced DOP, Good Post production work, Color correction, Color grading
And yes if you are shooting a Hollywood movie then we need the best camera even if it's 1% better then the other
But other than that filmmaker wants a camera which is easy to use when it comes to budget productions so they can focus more on the story, acting etc rather than that focusing on the differences between fx6 and red kamodo look which doesn't even matter after color grading a raw footage or even 10bit 4: 2: 2
If you have team, good focus puller and you want to purchase a RED it's good for you
But I think many filmmakers push their budget to impress the client even after knowing that these cameras differences doesn't make any sense when you are on a budget or just starting your career

The Komodo is definitely not for a solo operation, a duo minimum unless you’re stationary or your subject is.

Any particular reason you did not include the Black Mini or Broadcast into your comparison?

komodo is not in the line as a solo operate-able. first ask your client, there are many companies ask for sony cameras. if you are totally independent, i see no reason not to choose C70.

red ....>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

Blackmagic Panasonic sh1 gh6 Sony a7

I originally wanted to purchase the FX6 several months ago, but they were on backorder indefinitely. So I opted for the C70 instead. I'm not sure if the FX6 is still difficult to find.

I picked the Komodo and could not be happier.

If I was recommending a camera almost to anyone else, I would suggest the Sony.

Something about that global shutter of the Komodo looks so natural to me ... even in normal shots, it adds a bit of movie magic IMHO. But not everyone sees the same thing. The most versatile is the Sony, best auto focus, best low light and the highest frame rate, and the Sony Log option.

CVP/Jake, are fantastic. Excellent content, anytime I want info on a camera or new accessory, these are my 'go-to'. A must subscribe for all camera users/fans.

C70 is getting dual pixel eye auto focus on December 8th through firmware.

i got a sigma 24-105mm 1.4 dg art len trying to see what adapter to ues trying to get this lens to fit my sony a6100.

I hate that these companies is pushing for 6K and higher when they can try and master 4K or downscale 6K into 4K without doing that stupid Crop in better off leaving certain features out than doing crop ins but you know they need to add as much “specs” for marketing purposes

This is an excellent video. Well done

Do y’all ship to US and also repair from US?

I got the Komodo and C70. I might as well buy the FX6 too at some point haha

C70 ;)

c70 is an absolute beast. I love it and have been shooting with it for a year now. Commercial and gimbal workhorse camera, amazing colour.

Different tools for different jobs.

I only care for global shutter.

Thanks for the massive infos and time you put in. Hard to compare the Komodo to the two others. Komodo is barebones while the others come with decent audio, NDs and beautiful AF Features.

There is one thing that made the Komodo my workhorse for my main work. for pure Color, motion and image I pick the Komodo at all times.

I do a lot of product and lifestyle content. that includes fashion, tabletops and broll of Talents on set. Since I got the Komodo a lot of clients are amazed by the images they see out of the Komodo.

Even on set, Just slap one of Reds internal luts on to fit the clients vision and applause is save every time!

Haven’t had that happen on set to images we created on sony or canon. Fiddeling with all that S and C log stuff is just not straiggt forward for me. R3D is just one of a kind to work with!

On the tech and handling side its truely a different story. Especially for events or run and gun with an ultra fast output I‘d definitely advise Fx6 or c70. batterys, media body and go! easy and quick.

So in the end there is no good or better. Only the right tool for the right job.

Komodo… Picture quality Wise blows the other two cameras out of the water.
