    I’m really enjoying your takes on these things man! We run three Sony FX3’s. In our opinion it’s the best camera for the kind of work our company does. Each camera is a tool and different tools are best in different elements. I think people tend to stray away from the fact that cameras are a lot like shovels. You use different kinds of shovels to dig different holes. The same for cameras. One shape or size doesn’t fit all.

    Man, I just randomly stumbled on this video looking for something completely different, but I was wanting to eventually get a RED someday but currently using an FX3 which is epically amazing for what I do, which is exactly what you're doing. Fitness industry stuff and the more I looked into things, the more I kept leaning towards staying Sony and going FX6.........but was looking for something completely different with External SSDs trying to see if I can mount the the new Sandisk Transport SSD system to the Ninja V+ and the FX6 or RED cameras and poof.....this video comes along and explained everything else I needed to see on other topics I was previously searching for. One major big thing for me is Sony's mega low light ability for when in Gyms or at Olympia (Hotels) with not so great lighting and run and gun so no set up lights. So the FX3/6 is literally king for that. But hearing all this other stuff in comparison is great to know.
    Random Side question though.......if recording ProRes RAW....since the FX6 doesn't have IBIS, if you use Catalyst to use the stabilization in metadata.....does it export it back into the RAW Meta data so that we can convert it and use CDNG still in DR?? Or does it get exported as 422 or 444 and lose the camera raw features in DR?

  • @fotomaton7852

    Great video as I've been hesitating in upgrading my FS7 to an FX6, C70 or Komodo. I'm still on the fence and was leaning towards Komodo as the IQ from the 6K R3D RAW files is stunning (I've been messing with them in Resolve) but you do make some very good points about ND filters & audio. The FX6 being full-frame and having that electronic ND with auto setting sounds like a dream to use. The C70 now has internal RAW so also tempting. Decisions, decisions..

    • @KofiYeboah

    Me and my friend was having this discussion only this morning. Somebody we know has just bought a Komodo and we sat and priced it up and it came way higher than the Sony. Money is a small aspect of filmmaking but... Red is EXPENSIVE! Used the FX6 recently and fell in love with it, i'd love one myself and out of the two, it would be the one i would hire for the projects. Great video! So glad I found you on Twitter

It’s been a great experience learning the cameras.

    That being said, there really is something magic about the Komodo's Global Shutter image (or the global shutter of any camera). I was actually starting to look for a used digital Bolex right before the Komodo was announced. I guess I am just super sensitive to the motion.

    Very good insight, Kofi. Thank you for posting. I did a head to head test with the Komodo and FX6. I had been shooting heavily with my Sony FS7, so I understand Sony's cameras. What I found is both can produce a beautiful image. The FX6 offers very helpful tools like built-in ND filters. And, like you said, the workflow is a little easier with the Sony. But, for what I do, I really need the global shutter the Komodo features. The main pros of the Komodo to me are the global shutter, nice image overall, .R3D flexibility and exceptional RED customer service. Still, the FX6 is a great choice. Really, just pick the one you like the most and it will do great things for you.

    • @KofiYeboah

  • @jamesmathews243

    I shot a feature recently on the Komodo. Loved the image. I chose it last minute over my FX6 when we did side by side tests of the RAW images. The blacks on the Komodo are so clean. But I wouldn't use the Komodo as my daily camera. The FX6 is just too versatile and when shooting internally, I prefer its image for corporate and doc stuff... especially S-Cinetone. I shoot S-Cinetone anytime I can control the light.

    • @KofiYeboah

    I think workflow matters a lot. Cameras these days are all catching up on terms of image quality but ease of use, and camera comfortability matters a lot.
    Internal NDs is just so crazy to let go of once you have it.
    Plus Sony is killing it in terms of glass. So many options to buy and adapt, hard not to notice.
    I’m just doing it as a hobby but I love hearing about working video/ cinematographers opinions on cameras. My enthusiast heart wants a red Komodo but I know my brain will go for a A7IV. I just want to get out and shoot, an not worry about setup as hybrid shooter.
    I left canon because of the 30 min record limit but I’m sure in a few years I might go back once “cheaper cameras” in their line adds that ability. I like the color science and look of the red / canon cameras.
    But Sony was my first love in terms of potential.
    Anyways Im looking forward to your next upload!

I 100% agree that we should have a bit of experience using different camera systems.

    I was choosing between a komodo and ursa mini 12K and I went with the ursa mini because it's so much more functional, and image quality isn't far off! Built in ND - check, two XLR - check, no crop in most modes - check, SSD recording - check, and It would have cost me 3500$ to have RED's nd which with very little difference in image quality I simply can't justify.

    My first pro Sony cam was the TRV-900 which was a 3 chip DV camera back in 2001. Sadly it was stolen at a wedding shoot! I've been Sony ever since with a minor detour into Canon and back again. Currently I shoot FS5m2 and FX3. Soon to get an FX6 then sell the FS5m2 for the FX30 (being able to use all of the S35 glass)

    I think everybody should realize, there isn’t a bad camera out there. It’s all about what you like and what you want to spend out there. Just picked up an XH2S and if it wasn’t for the RED hype I probably would use the XH2S more. Literally bought the RED as a marketing point. It worked for sure, but I know BlackMagics and C70s etc are just as capable.

    It's an interesting take actually. As someone who became so extremely reliable on Sony (A7III, A7SIII, A7IV, FX3) I regularly reach for those cameras still as a new Komodo owner. I think I'm trying to balance familiarity with potential and vice versa. I want to learn to use the Komodo like I have my Sony's. I just will always lack the ability to have a few things like 4k 120 on the Siii, sensor stabilization, familiarity with SLog3, etc.
    Still can't get over what I can do with a R3D file though. It's like my fuckin mistress that calls to me all day... It's so good. And costs so much to get it to the same level that an A7Siii is out of the box.
    Not to mention that you have to switch lens systems. That's the worst part. If Red went with an E mount and just adopted Sony's focus system all of us Sony fanboys would've taken out loans against our mortgages and bought them all up already hahaha. I know someone is reading this thinking, "Yeah.. Yeah, that's me." LOL
    Both are amazing cameras.

    Well presented brother. Again, for the incremental improvements in picture quality, the RED Komodo doesn’t seem worth it. “Content Creators” are so hung up on the name RED that they believe it’s going to add credibility to their name or brand. It’s silly. Folks like you, Mark Bone, JHawk (Sony Users) are proving that fallacy wrong. You guys are producing great content with the tools you have in hand. In your case, the FX6.
