@@pauleporterdp would you recommend the c70 then for run and gun cinematic travel videos? I use the gh5 but I want a little more dynamic range. the komodo seems great too but I don't want to spend $500 on a damn memory card lol
@@pauleporterdp is the dynamic range and image quality pretty much the same? those 2 are most important for me since I am always going to breaktaking places, and recreating the beautiful places I go to is paramount
GREAT content. well done. I own the C70 and love the image. With all the advantages of the C70 and how close the images are... I think I made the right choice!!
Fantastic comparisons and information given. You covered all the important points. The C70 seems like a juggernaut of a camera for me! Thanks very much, looking forward to more videos from you 🤙🏽
First time in here, I am more of a hybrid shooter, dslr style (yes dslr and not mirror less 😁) but enjoy watching camera reviews and comparisons. Definitely the top 2 or 3 in my opinion....no hype, no shouting, no gimmicks.....keep it up👍👍
Another great video Thanks I am proud to subscribe to your channel I think your comparisons It's one of the best on RUclips I hope more filmmakers can find this channel soon
I've shot on Canon for years, and while they are pricey I felt I was getting great images. But the Komodo is a game changer in many ways. And to say that your film, or project was shot on a Red camera will instantly get attention. The Red Komodo will (I hope) get a greater name recognition, thereby making more projects at higher fees. At the end of the day, name recognition is important.
Awesome! I've been waiting for a comparison like this...well done! You touched briefly on the RED's autofocus, and seemed to suggest it being usable/trustworthy for interview style, locked off shots. I understand it to be a center point phase detect system. Do you trust the RED autofocus for talking head shots?
Thanks. Yes it depends on the lens for example all my canon and Sigma lenses work fine my tamron doesn’t. Will go more in detail about that in my Komodo review for sure. But I’ve tested it several times for interviews at f2.0 and it was totally reliable.
Nice review! Would be nice to see another comparison but using the Canon Speedbooster (EF-EOS R 0.71x) which turns them into a Full Frame cam. It works on the Komodo as well. I seen tests with the C-70 but not with Komodo.
Been seriously considering using the C70 over the A7S3 on a regular basis. The Komodo has been on my radar, but is so much more expensive to use when considering all the kit needed to outfit it. Good review! Next up, compare the C70 w/ speedbooster and A7S3? I want to know how well the wide angle lenses work, like the 16-25 L v2 lens. :)
I use the canon vnd adapter from rf to ef. Currently I’m using my sigma and canon lenses on the Komodo. But I’m looking to get one of the sirui anamorphic lenses but I’m not sure yet
Hi Paule, great review - which cage are you using and will mounting a rail onto of the outrigger handle allow connection with a monitor using Red control?
@@pauleporterdp Absolutely amazing Paule. Please i want a one on one online training with you. Both video training and Editing. Please let me know mode of contact you prefer. Either call in app or phone. Please work out how many classes and cost for me for beginner to Professional. Thanks
The fun fact about highlight recovery systems of the Red komodo is very bad, it’s loses a red channel, only green and blue are still there, red komodo is not even close to the C70 if we talk about DR, pocket 6k sensor is still better for the latitude test (real world scenario) so I think you’re a little bit bias, even one of best camera lab in the world “CineD”, they testing everything camera that out of the market, they said the dr of a komodo is like 12.5stop for the SNR = 2 (Signal-To-Noise-Ratio 2) but the c70 is 14.2stops this one is if you many famous dp in the film industry said red komodo very bad at highlight rolloff. btw, I used it twice and never use it again, but I admit that the R3D is the solid raw, just the ability of the sensor that couldn’t capture it.
Great review! I can't help but notice how the Canon looks slightly more washed out when you do a shot of a face. Does that have to do with focus or anything?
Thanks man :) no that’s due to the colour science and the conversion lut that canon provides. The red lut is a little more colourful. However the footage of both cameras can be manipulated how ever you want to. The Codecs are there also for heavy colour grading.
Super Video vielen Dank dafür! Darf ich fragen wie lange die Wartezeit für die Red Komodo bei dir war? Ich hab sie auch bei Teltec bestellt, im November. Seither aber keine genaueren Infos mehr erhalten.
Hi Gerald, ich hab meine direkt im Oktober als Vorbestellungen möglich waren geordert. Bekommen habe ich sie am 20.11 also gut 6 Wochen Wartezeit. Soweit ich jetzt weiß kommt RED kaum mit dem liefern hinterher.
@@pauleporterdp I wonder how it would look if you rated it at 250 or or 400, given the shot is mostly in the shadows. Because RED has no native iso, rating it at 800 gives equal stops of detail to highlights and shadows (8 & 8).. if you rated it at 250 or 400 you’re giving more data to the shadows. I wonder if the same noise would’ve showed then, but I know you would’ve gained more latitude in post.
Cool comparison. I would be interested to see the 4k120 of the a7siii/fx3 compared to the c70. I believe the c70 actually loses DR in that mode because it cant use the dual gain anymore...just curious. I use the sony as im 95% running and gunning so ibis and compact codecs are essential, but i am regulalry amazed by the Quality whenever i grade it..
The c70 has a fantastic battery life great audio, built in ND and the best low light of all the 3 you mentioned. On top of that the image looks fantastic
@@pauleporterdp it’s interesting. But the file sizes of the 10 bit on the c70 look to be the same size as the raw from the Komodo and 6k pro. Am I correct in thinking that ?
The image is so close but the usability, ergonomics and framerates on C70 are way better. Komodo is a crash cam for big Red cameras on big sets, and it will never be as good for one operator small production, and that's exactly how this class of cameras are used for.
Can you get a XLR adapter for the Red Komodo, and most of all, will it sound good ? Also, ND filters, you have to use them manually all the time on the RED ? Did you use ND filters in your shots ? (thats all my questions haha)
Yes in most of the shoots I used the canon RF to EF adapter with VND inside. You can get an adapter from Red for XLR but still the preamps aren’t as good as from an external recorder. So I personally record externally
Hey Paul, I just sent you an email and wanted to be sure you received it. It came from Rey. If you didn’t get it please let me know. My company is interested in hiring you to produce videos and would even consider buying your channel with the option of hiring you to produce videos for the channel. Let’s talk!
There is always more than specs to a camera. Spending that much money on a camera which I can’t really use on a set due to lack of TC, shutter angle, and much more important aspects for a proper production camera. So the a1 is a photo camera after all
@@pauleporterdp All good points, just saying the C70 doesn’t have the best 4K 120 of any camera? But I do agree that it’s not a cinema camera in that it doesn’t have a lot of the practical essentials of a cinema camera but it’s dynamic range, latitude, color-science and frame rate are exceptional at 8K in full frame with very little rolling shutter so there’s something to be said for that?

Ok...thank you for the test, but do you have to shoot your opening at such a shallow DOF that the cameras you are talking about are blurry. Look, just because you can go 6” of DOP doesn’t mean you need to. Please, add more light, iris down to 5.6 and let’s see what you are talking about.
@@pauleporterdp I get it, I really do. But don’t you want to see the subject you are talking about? Not everything needs to be shot at a 1.4 in full frame just because you can...dare to be different-don’t be afraid to show something...but thanks for posting

Great video Paule. I agree with all of your findings in this video. I felt pretty much the same when I tested both side by side.
Thanks Griffin I’ve seen your video before and that inspired me to test the c70 against the Komodo as well ;)
The C70 is a Run & Gun shooter’s dream! The adapter for EF lenses is amazing as well!
Thanks for your feedback. Can’t wait to test the adapter.

Sigma 50mm Art ;)
