Here's why the RED Komodo is THE Bonanza beast

The idea is to get a cinema type image from almost a DSLR formfactor, and who could do this better than the company that makes top of the line cinema camera’s? At $6000, the RED Komodo is really a hell of a beast. The formfactor of the camera is really small and RED promises a lot with this one

The Komodo has a lot of features, actually a lot of them. The Official RED website flaunts a lot of features the RED Komodo specifically has in different, than the other players.

The Komodo has a global shutter; it records in primitive REDCODE; modes like HQ, MQ, LQ are available for you to record for different purposes like VFX, Stills from Motion, TV, Online Content, Interviews, etc; This beast of a camera can record at a whopping 6K resolution; has internal stabilization; has a touchscreen for recording; has a versatile lens mount; can also output 4k image in real-time, for viewfinder purposes too.

Specsheet.

Our Verdict.

Totally trash for you if you’ve made your mind to get it.

No, you won’t get the bang for the buck when you get the RED Komodo, clearly you’ll get more bang for the buck when you get the BMPCC 6K. You might ask, why not the RED?

Look, if you’re really after the cinema camera look and think that this is the only one for you, you couldn’t be more wrong. The BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K offers much more at a price of nearly $2000. You’re getting the deal of the lifetime when you go for the BlackMagic pocket cinema camera.

If you’re still rooting for the RED Komodo, either there’s something wrong with you or you’re really rooting for that RED logo and flex when you’ll be personally owning it. You might say you’re rooting for the RED image quality, but you’ll see the BMPCC 6K is also going against the RED Gemini sensor which makes it pretty safe for me to say that the BMPCC is really a better bang for the buck. Going against the mighty overkill RED’s whilst still being a 2000 ish package is really over the top.
