Personally, I'm stoked you keep testing cameras. I could watch 1000s of peeps on here talk about gear, but it's when you find someone that you value or trust their opinions, that you'll listen. I've enjoyed your content across BMPCC, ZCAM, your photo work is amazing, film, C70 and now I look forward to the Komodo and what ever 2021 brings! Happy Holidays dude....keep the content coming!
I found you through Zcam. I’ll come right out and say “brand loyalty” is counter intuitive. I’m guilty of the underdog mentality myself but if someone gifted me a RED or something I’m not gonna complain 🤣🤣🤣
Dude it makes no sense to me. I think a lot of people found a hobby in wanting to be a photographer/filmmaker via TH-cam but don’t actually have a passion for it
To your last point on client perception, I am currently thinking of upgrading my kit(basically starting fresh again) and that thought is currently one of if not my biggest battle mentally. For most budget jobs a mirrorless is more than sufficient, but a particular brand of camera especially semi high end types makes a difference on set even on smaller jobs. Visually from a clients perspective once they see you using a mirrorless, immediately that association has been made with a certain budget. Its not the right thought process and yes talent and quality does supersede all of that BUT that perception does exist and we should stop ignoring it.
I wondered how that form factor would feel switching from the z cam. That was one of the main things that bugged me when I went back to SLR style from mine before the RED. I highly recommend getting the outrigger handle with it. Having the record button right by your thumb is totally worth $500 lol. For exposure, the stop lights make run and gun exposure so easy on the Komodo once you play with it a little.
you have to ask yourself why you "really" want a Red, is it because the image is so much better or because you feel like you need a "status symbol" for other people... - Ive been making features and videos for over 15 years, once we get over 4k raw, 99.9% of people are not going to see the difference in quality - especially on 4k TVs and computer monitors....not to mention when you get into 6k and 8k it often looks so sharp and instantly "digital" looking....the Red also requires a lot of start up time, a lot of accessories, black shading, needs more light, runs hotter, etc etc... that said, I think both of those cameras can edit together just fine...also, why not just shoot your normal content in 24fps then shoot slow motion separately rather than changing the FPS so you can slow it down in post?
Cameras are like paint brushes, sometimes that brush you chose are perfect for producing wide strokes on the canvas and another might produce nice fine lines for details . Ultimately, what I'm saying is, they should be used together to create that masterpiece - whether you use a Sony, Red or Panasonic. So yeah, I agree with you.
Totally cool if people want a Red Komodo, just wish people were more honest. It’s just cool to own a Red for $6000. That’s really the number one reason,but I think some people (not you) just don’t want to admit it. You can make great work and make great images with other cameras , but there is a prestige and auora to Red as a filmmaker, and that’s what draws you in really. As a one man band, and when shooting hours of footage over multiple days, the RED post workflow can get daunting quick. But for lots of other projects, those concerns are a non issue.
Talking camera gear has become political. People got too much time on their hands lol. Less debating, more creating. We’re suppose to keep people feeling human with our art.
Now this makes my decision harder 😅 I'm sticking to to my beloved C100mkii until much deeper into 2021 lol. I'm between the c70 and Komodo myself. Feels strange that Red didn't intend the komodo for the consumer but for crash cams which is one thing that throws me off. The R5 I definitely want though. I'm hoping you keep the c70 around just to see more comparisons and final products from you using multiple cameras! Your Zcam work looks beautiful, it has made me want to grab one 🎥
Hi ! I'm in the same situation with a beloved C100MkII and I'm currently testing the C70.... In my opinion, the footages are AWESOME but the built quality is really worse than the C100 Mark II.... or the C200... Canon made a huge mistake in my opinion: cutting back on build quality to bring the price down. I'm waiting to see in 2021 if the next C70s will have a more solid screen in particular ... or if the C90, which is to be announced in early 2021, will have better ergonomics because it will be more expensive.
Just learned that the global shutter on the Komodo takes away a stop of DR and a stop of sensitivity. This is due to the electronics being on the front side of the sensor.
Another 🔥video! I know that you will but keep keeping it real. I love it and it's so helpful for the community. I appreciate your transparent, non bias information. Cameras are just tools used for us to create. We don't oh them anything except appreciation. Looking forward to the next video!
@@cammackey No problem! Thank you for the content. And I get that LOL. The truth can hurt for sure but it is indeed the truth nonetheless 😂. Happy holidays!
hey man! really appreciate the effort you put in this video, idk if you're going to see my comment, but I'm planning to start my own tv series in which I will mostly shoot in my house with my friends, and I'm wondering which cinema camera or dslr would you suggest is the best (even if they'll all look good with the proper equipment). thanks again man!
Love it when you can tell that a review is un bias!!! Can’t wait for the day blackmagick drops a full frame camera with XLR and NDs. Yes red would be sick for the type of work that you do ...Everyone has different needs...
@@cammackey that would be awesome. I did a reso and dr test with my R5c and C70 at iso 800 clog2 in cam and through davinci (set for the R5c) I tried to set them both to middle grey of 37% on the wvm(protect the highlights) c70 seemed clen in the shadows but the r5c footage scaled to 4k also was clean in the shadows. I hope canon does sensors whith higher DR (like 18 stops) in their future sensors
After several iterations for a two camera setup, i've settled in on the Red Komodo as my A camera, and the Sony A7SIII for slow motion and low light. Great vid as usual bro🙌🏼
Awesome Video Cam, you can shoot 50p (NZ we shoot 25p) and still get face tracking. But yes its a bummer when you go into slow-mo modes the face tracking is locked out. Shame the Komodo has to crop in when you shoot higher frame rate. Have you take any Tiff's from the komodo footage?
Even Christopher Nolan said that he would use a different camera if it produced a better image than 70mm 15perf IMAX cameras. Cameras are tools; everyone relax and use the best one that fits your vision.
It makes absolutely no sense for someone to stick with a tool that is not optimized for the job being done. I was surprised when you swapped out the z-can because that rig seemed so close to perfection for your work. Apart from the rf mount and raw workflow. .... and in comes the Komodo. Honestly everyone who’s been watching your work should know that that thing is as perfect as a camera gets for your stuff.
Man, I’d love to see you do an in depth review of the Red Komodo with your beautiful content... Those RED Komodo colors are KILLER! I dig the video’s you do on, cages, handles...Also, best settings in various lighting conditions, different editing practices... Basically show us what you’re learning about the Red Komodo as you go... FOR FREE! Lol.
@@cammackey Cam, I’m getting ready to start a Channel do you mind if I reference your channel now and then? It’d only be quick clips and I’d always reach out with specifics beforehand... Reason is I’ve got an R5 and I’m grabbing a Komodo soon as well and I dig what you’re saying and doing... ✌️
Hi Cam, Like your real talk. I also like to keep rigs small and simple. Considering the C70 compared to the new R3. I mostly do video, the C70 has a few downers, AF and poor build quality and that smaler sensor if you want to use RF lenses. Would be interested to have your opinion about hybrid vs cinema camera.
Yes it all comes down to how you use the tool. My work is slower paced with architecture and interviews. But the white balance issues sounds weird. Hopefully just firmware. Peace.
Lol that’s def incorrect. I’ve shot at 60th in 60fps and the blur is just too smooth for my taste. Or even shooting 1/1000 in 60fps everything is too jittery.
Given the shortage of Fx6s and the expected long wait times for orders to be fulfilled, i am not gonna lie, I am kinda tempted to see if i can sell it at a markup and maybe get a Komodo hah
The red name quality perception from clients is interesting. Makes me wonder what the conversations between clients and videographers is like when the videographer attempts to educate the client why they don’t need to film a project/ad/commercial on a red. Food for though
I personally haven’t had a client question my camera, some have assumed it’s a RED. But they see my work, not to sound cocky, but they see my work and the quality of it and don’t really question what camera I have. But I def think the red will kinda give my stuff a little more sauce, and also being able to pitch to a client when there’s other teams trying to get the job.. and saying we run a red.. would help if both teams are similar.
@@cammackey Appreciate your input boss! i was gonna invest in a cinema camera but decided it was way out of budget and decided to invest in some aputure lights. maybe one day ill join the cinema camera boys haha
oh bro you should totaly try out the FX6, the physical body feel just 100 times better than the c70, same or better focus performance, better internal ND, the only bad thing is if you use other handle, you will lose sound.
@@robertm3951 yeah here in EU we all shoot 25fps for most jobs, and I would still never shoot 1/100 for 25fps, without the natural motion blur it just looks even more digital..
Yeah the pocket 4K was amazing! I almost bricked it tho a handful of times. Last time it happened I was filming navy seals in Montana in the snow.. a week after I bought a zcam.
The C70 looks great but personally I’m trying to get away from the dslr style body, coming from the pocket4k I hate having the hdmi cables etc sticking out the side of the camera when I like to tuck the camera into my body.
@@RandomMotoThings no, most cine cams have a “dumb” side, which is where all the controls are and not the ports for the cables, on the fx6 etc all the cable ports are on the opposite side so as to not have to press then against your body OR have them stick into the side of your head when shoulder mounted.
@@RandomMotoThings that’s what I said in my first comment, I’m leaving the pocket4k partially because of that reason and the C70 is the same so it wouldn’t work for me...
Hey, are you able to get Browser Remote on the C70 or does it require an additional wifi transmitter of some sort?? Somehow my C70 has network settings that are grayed out
The C70 doesn’t have any internal WiFi.. all the manual says is that you need a third part part.. but doesn’t specify what exactly. With that said, I’m not sure if you’ll be able to link it with the canon app
Will you consider the GH6 in 2022 for your fly-on-the-wall filmmaking style? I'm wondering if you would favor an IBIS system with strong internal codecs?
No FX6 for me! It’s basically the same thing as the C70 but with a sensor I don’t care for. Can’t beat the DGO sensor, unless you’re getting a true raw output. Even prores raw is eh. It reminds me of a 10bit pro res but you can change the WB in post... lol. The red 16 bit raw is on a different level. I’m learning more and more
Awesome video! love your honesty & integrity! I totally agree with you about the RED name and how affects the chance of better & bigger gigs or projects! Love Canon DSLR's for photo & some video work.. but not the cinema line.. I think they lack. I do like Black Magic & RED for pro cinema work! checking your insta mate! well done! cheers!
Bro. Never watched you before on youtube but I love ❤️ the fact that you basically tell everybody to go fk themselves about camera loyalty. 😂😂😂 well done. I have a family of 6, a 5 bedroom house and Shoot everything on a 1DX Mark ll. So I agree it ain’t about the camera just create! Thanks for the info on the c70.
Hahaha dude I get so drained with all the childish camera talk. Like let’s all be adults and artists here, that’s the whole point to these tools that were spoiled with to make it easier on us to get our visions out into existence.
seems like the komodo won't solve most of these complaints. they have a similar cost but seems like very different cameras to me. Good luck with the new kit.
It’ll solve some of them and also give me more bang for my buck. Me. Not you. I think people forget that. We all have different needs and perspectives and workflows.
Appreciate the review videos and you sharing your experience, but it does get a little confusing when you come out with a glowing initial review of the C70 and then three weeks later post this. I think it would be more helpful if you took some time to really evaluate your experience before posting your conclusions so you don't have these big swings because people are using these videos to do research when weighing which camera to buy. But like I said, it's definitely interesting/helpful hearing your thoughts, so thanks for doing these.
I disagree. I never said the camera was shit. I still love this camera and I’m bummed it’s not really for me, tho I think my issues with it are a bit niche. It’s still an amazing camera and I think majority of people would be happy with it. If you can go to my IG and watch my IGTV I think you’ll get an idea of what I’m talking about. But yes, I don’t take my time. Like I said, the camera is still amazing and has one of the best images I’ve used and it’s beyond convenient. It’s literally the perfect camera. My point is, I don’t discredit what I said before just because I tried another camera that better suits my shooting style.
@@cammackey Bob never said you said the camera was shit. But, can you at least agree with this: "it does get a little confusing when you come out with a glowing initial review of the C70 and then three weeks later post this."??
@@killallhippies198066 maybe confusing for those who don’t listen to the words I’m saying lol. The whole point of this video was the C70 is amazing but the Komodo fits my rugged shooting style better
Hell yes camera name helps with a pitch. Show Joe Six pack your photos or epic B-roll and every time you will hear the exact same thing - "Wow, you must have a nice camera!" Most people literally think you just get a $50k camera, point it at stuff, and get Hollywood type results. Just get an original BMPCC, rig it all out, and tell them it was used to film The Avengers.
Lolololol. I loved my pocket 4Ks image, but the shit almost died on me multiple times cause it’s not the most robust camera for the type of stuff I film
@@cammackey Yeah, I was sort of joking. I can afford to do that as a hobbyist/enthusiast. :) But really I was commenting on the fact that most clients have absolutely no idea, except (maybe) to ask if the camera is 4K. Show up with an Alexa and try to explain that it isn't 4K but has superior color science and dynamic range and you will get blank stares. Tell them all the movies it was used on and maybe they will feel better. Bottom line - 99% have zero clue on the tech side of gear.
@@cammackey @cammackey no. it is the same thing. the only way to compare this would be to shoot prores on the Komodo and compare that to the R3D file..
@@mh_media thats not helping people decide what camera is best for them tho... that wasn’t the point to my testing. My Komodo will be here Wednesday. I’ll do more examples soon
@@cammackey I didn’t come here to criticize your video, I appreciate you helping the community. Part of that is making sure people have the right info. RAW can give less artifacting in shadow detail for sure, which may be perceived as better detail recovery.
Cameras are just arrows In the quiver used to hunt and kill the most beautiful compositions perfectly. Put it on the table. Sling at will. Glass is the bow you sleep with...
you are amazing. love ur comment on camera not being human. why stick with one. haha. i have been doing this for a while. just want to make money not marry some camera brand
Also, love your thoughts about being a camera loyalist. Camera tribalism is stupid and takes away from the ultimate goal which is what you actually create with it.
No no no. Lol people keep commenting that. I don’t like the look that the camera gives, yes it’s gorgeous, but it’s still flat to my eye. I’m also finding out that we won’t be getting crazy cage options, a lot of the cage makers are making more simple setups for all these new cameras. I need something a little more rugged
@@blaineskrainka lol noooo. Honestly it would be rad if made some sort of income off TH-cam, if I did I could do more videos like that to put my opinion out there. But rn I make like $200 a month off TH-cam LOL. Not really worth my time currently to make videos that doesn’t help my main career
Nope. You can also keep it in 6K with a wide crop for 48fps. The 5k crop isn’t bad either, you can see how it looks on that very short video I’m posted yesterday
@@cammackey Yeah the short 10 second Komodo video you posted looks wonderful, no doubt. Still it gives me a full frame 50mm-ish wibe with this lens, fairly tight. But I guess the Komodo in 5k should be close to a 1.5-1.6 times crop, not that bad.
Just switch to PAL and shoot 50p. No one in the world is gonna know the difference between 48 and 50fps. Been doing this trick with older cameras for years.
Absolutely none of its web delivery. If the project is legit broadcast then you can always convert 25p to 23.976 easily. I started doing this trick back in the day to get a 48fps look, as the 30p wasn’t slow enough and the 60p was too slow. A lot of my vids are done this way. www.scottwild.us
You have no reason to justify what camera you want to use. They are not paying your bills. I am staying with the C70 because I am tied to Canon at this point. Will miss your C70 videos but wil still watch the Komodo videos because I like your style. Do you.
Oh def not justifying it lol!! Just sharing my findings to possibly help others with their decisions! And also hopefully educating some folks on reality lol
Holy shit your IGTV videos go crazy, definitely see how the c70 might be a little hard on the wrist
Haha thank you man!
Personally, I'm stoked you keep testing cameras. I could watch 1000s of peeps on here talk about gear, but it's when you find someone that you value or trust their opinions, that you'll listen. I've enjoyed your content across BMPCC, ZCAM, your photo work is amazing, film, C70 and now I look forward to the Komodo and what ever 2021 brings! Happy Holidays dude....keep the content coming!
Thank you 🥲 I think people forget that this is an art and all this gear is suppose to be our paint brush
Form factor is exactly the reason I'm keeping my c200 around just a bit longer... Great channel by the way.
Thank you man!!! Yes better to wait for cage options
If they could chuck a Komodo into the FX6’s form factor, with internal ND and the R5’s auto focus that would be great 🤠
Yeah, it looks like my old 1D Mk II. Meh.
Marry the lense date the camera body.
At the same time, do whatever the f you want as long as you are having fun and making money! =)

What about the s1h? Basically eliminates microg completely
oh bro you should totaly try out the FX6, the physical body feel just 100 times better than the c70, same or better focus performance, better internal ND, the only bad thing is if you use other handle, you will lose sound.
Nah I don’t like the image coming off the FX6
Any chance of getting that original video again broskI?
Mate that 48fps issue is the most niche complaint I've ever heard of, but I hear you, and I support you.
I have no problem if that is what he likes to shoot at but I doubt most people can tell the difference between 48 and 50 FPS.
@@robertm3951 yeah here in EU we all shoot 25fps for most jobs, and I would still never shoot 1/100 for 25fps, without the natural motion blur it just looks even more digital..
Now I'm wondering if i should get the R5 instead of the C70. ughhh I wish i could play with these cameras for a bit before ordering it.
The pocket 4k produce a good enough image for me and it’s easy to use at this point it’s just camera lenses for me
Yeah the pocket 4K was amazing! I almost bricked it tho a handful of times. Last time it happened I was filming navy seals in Montana in the snow.. a week after I bought a zcam.
The C70 looks great but personally I’m trying to get away from the dslr style body, coming from the pocket4k I hate having the hdmi cables etc sticking out the side of the camera when I like to tuck the camera into my body.
You pretty much have to deal with that with all cameras. That’s actually better than having the cables pressed against your body as well lol.
@@RandomMotoThings no, most cine cams have a “dumb” side, which is where all the controls are and not the ports for the cables, on the fx6 etc all the cable ports are on the opposite side so as to not have to press then against your body OR have them stick into the side of your head when shoulder mounted.
@@JoshBenBernales how is this any different than the pocket though? The pocket has its ports on the side as well.
@@RandomMotoThings that’s what I said in my first comment, I’m leaving the pocket4k partially because of that reason and the C70 is the same so it wouldn’t work for me...
Hey, are you able to get Browser Remote on the C70 or does it require an additional wifi transmitter of some sort?? Somehow my C70 has network settings that are grayed out
The C70 doesn’t have any internal WiFi.. all the manual says is that you need a third part part.. but doesn’t specify what exactly. With that said, I’m not sure if you’ll be able to link it with the canon app
Hey Cam I'm seeing some amazing footage comet of that canon r3 6k raw. What are your thoughts on that compared to the red?
Will you consider the GH6 in 2022 for your fly-on-the-wall filmmaking style? I'm wondering if you would favor an IBIS system with strong internal codecs?
This was useful because I think I work in a similar way. I'd be interested in seeing what you think after using the Sony-FX6
No FX6 for me! It’s basically the same thing as the C70 but with a sensor I don’t care for. Can’t beat the DGO sensor, unless you’re getting a true raw output. Even prores raw is eh. It reminds me of a 10bit pro res but you can change the WB in post... lol. The red 16 bit raw is on a different level. I’m learning more and more
@@cammackey yeah I came to the same conclusion in the end after comparing the three and got the Komodo
wheres the original video?
Awesome video! love your honesty & integrity! I totally agree with you about the RED name and how affects the chance of better & bigger gigs or projects! Love Canon DSLR's for photo & some video work.. but not the cinema line.. I think they lack. I do like Black Magic & RED for pro cinema work! checking your insta mate! well done! cheers!
Bro. Never watched you before on youtube but I love ❤️ the fact that you basically tell everybody to go fk themselves about camera loyalty. 😂😂😂 well done. I have a family of 6, a 5 bedroom house and Shoot everything on a 1DX Mark ll. So I agree it ain’t about the camera just create! Thanks for the info on the c70.
Hahaha dude I get so drained with all the childish camera talk. Like let’s all be adults and artists here, that’s the whole point to these tools that were spoiled with to make it easier on us to get our visions out into existence.
seems like the komodo won't solve most of these complaints. they have a similar cost but seems like very different cameras to me. Good luck with the new kit.
It’ll solve some of them and also give me more bang for my buck. Me. Not you. I think people forget that. We all have different needs and perspectives and workflows.
@@cammackey people totally forgot that we aren't buying spec sheets, we are buying workflows.
@@nicjustice lol stealing that for my next video!!!!! I’ll credit you
dope video
Appreciate the review videos and you sharing your experience, but it does get a little confusing when you come out with a glowing initial review of the C70 and then three weeks later post this. I think it would be more helpful if you took some time to really evaluate your experience before posting your conclusions so you don't have these big swings because people are using these videos to do research when weighing which camera to buy. But like I said, it's definitely interesting/helpful hearing your thoughts, so thanks for doing these.
I disagree. I never said the camera was shit. I still love this camera and I’m bummed it’s not really for me, tho I think my issues with it are a bit niche. It’s still an amazing camera and I think majority of people would be happy with it. If you can go to my IG and watch my IGTV I think you’ll get an idea of what I’m talking about. But yes, I don’t take my time. Like I said, the camera is still amazing and has one of the best images I’ve used and it’s beyond convenient. It’s literally the perfect camera. My point is, I don’t discredit what I said before just because I tried another camera that better suits my shooting style.
@@cammackey Bob never said you said the camera was shit.
But, can you at least agree with this: "it does get a little confusing when you come out with a glowing initial review of the C70 and then three weeks later post this."??
@@killallhippies198066 maybe confusing for those who don’t listen to the words I’m saying lol. The whole point of this video was the C70 is amazing but the Komodo fits my rugged shooting style better
@@cammackey Well... since you insist, I'll have to let it go.
What’s your thoughts on the s1h?
Do you think the C70 is a cut above / better image quality than the Bmpcc 4 or 6K
As a C70 owner and lover I am being very biased and hating this review 😂
Hahaha sill a great camera! Just not great for me sadly. Was super bummed about it myself.
Hell yes camera name helps with a pitch. Show Joe Six pack your photos or epic B-roll and every time you will hear the exact same thing - "Wow, you must have a nice camera!" Most people literally think you just get a $50k camera, point it at stuff, and get Hollywood type results. Just get an original BMPCC, rig it all out, and tell them it was used to film The Avengers.
Lolololol. I loved my pocket 4Ks image, but the shit almost died on me multiple times cause it’s not the most robust camera for the type of stuff I film
@@cammackey Yeah, I was sort of joking. I can afford to do that as a hobbyist/enthusiast. :) But really I was commenting on the fact that most clients have absolutely no idea, except (maybe) to ask if the camera is 4K. Show up with an Alexa and try to explain that it isn't 4K but has superior color science and dynamic range and you will get blank stares. Tell them all the movies it was used on and maybe they will feel better. Bottom line - 99% have zero clue on the tech side of gear.
@@GearZenChannel I honest haven’t had many clients ask me what camera I’ll bring. I think they see my past work and just assume it’ll be quality
Yooo I notice my canon white balance changes too. I had a mental meltdown trying to figure out why this happened. Same lens, background and lighting.
You’re the third person to confirm this. Def seems like a firmware issue at this point
Happens when you had manually set it to a fixed WB setting?
Or use better lighting?
did they ever fix this? currently debating between c70 and komodo
“These cameras aren’t human beings!” So true. Brand loyalty is retarded. Good stuff dude.
Lol exactly how I want to say it but do t wanna get canceled lol
RAW gives no dynamic range advantages. That is limited by the sensor output. Pushing ISO in RAW controls is only adding digital gain.
I’m aware of that. The raw gives us better recovery within the dynamic range though.
@@cammackey @cammackey no. it is the same thing. the only way to compare this would be to shoot prores on the Komodo and compare that to the R3D file..
@@mh_media thats not helping people decide what camera is best for them tho... that wasn’t the point to my testing. My Komodo will be here Wednesday. I’ll do more examples soon
@@cammackey well, it is. Telling people that they get more latitude to correct exposure mistakes, isn’t.
@@cammackey I didn’t come here to criticize your video, I appreciate you helping the community. Part of that is making sure people have the right info. RAW can give less artifacting in shadow detail for sure, which may be perceived as better detail recovery.
Cameras are just arrows In the quiver used to hunt and kill the most beautiful compositions perfectly. Put it on the table. Sling at will. Glass is the bow you sleep with...
Haha so poetic man!!!
you are amazing. love ur comment on camera not being human. why stick with one. haha. i have been doing this for a while. just want to make money not marry some camera brand
Hi! Is it possible to see your Komodo vs c70 video?
and what is your recommendation? C70 or Komodo?
Depends on your needs!!
I can't marry a camera either haha. It inspires me to create more when I get a new camera sometimes.
Also, love your thoughts about being a camera loyalist. Camera tribalism is stupid and takes away from the ultimate goal which is what you actually create with it.
Dude it’s like our political to all system rn.
@@cammackey FACTS
Are you still rocking the Canon R5 for your photography?
Yup!!! It’s a gem for the look I aim for!!!
So you need a c200 or c300 mkiii?
Hi! Have you considered the Sony FX6?
No no no. Lol people keep commenting that. I don’t like the look that the camera gives, yes it’s gorgeous, but it’s still flat to my eye. I’m also finding out that we won’t be getting crazy cage options, a lot of the cage makers are making more simple setups for all these new cameras. I need something a little more rugged
@@cammackey just test it for fun
@@blaineskrainka lol noooo. Honestly it would be rad if made some sort of income off TH-cam, if I did I could do more videos like that to put my opinion out there. But rn I make like $200 a month off TH-cam LOL. Not really worth my time currently to make videos that doesn’t help my main career
Safe and fast...sounds like my second marriage.
Make that money!!! 💰💰
The worlds biggest guinea pig! Haha 😂
With the Komodo you have to go into a 5k crop to get 48fps. Isn't that a problem for you?
Nope. You can also keep it in 6K with a wide crop for 48fps. The 5k crop isn’t bad either, you can see how it looks on that very short video I’m posted yesterday
Komodo also has a bigger sensor than a lot of S35 marketed cameras, it's only a 1.3x crop from fullframe. Most are 1.5x
@@TJIzzy The Komodo sensor is only 3.2% bigger than the C70 sensor though. Maybe the readout area is different then
@@cammackey Yeah the short 10 second Komodo video you posted looks wonderful, no doubt. Still it gives me a full frame 50mm-ish wibe with this lens, fairly tight. But I guess the Komodo in 5k should be close to a 1.5-1.6 times crop, not that bad.
Just switch to PAL and shoot 50p. No one in the world is gonna know the difference between 48 and 50fps. Been doing this trick with older cameras for years.
Ooooo that’s a smart idea! I wonder if PAL has any side effects on US television. Some of my projects are broadcasted
Absolutely none of its web delivery. If the project is legit broadcast then you can always convert 25p to 23.976 easily.
I started doing this trick back in the day to get a 48fps look, as the 30p wasn’t slow enough and the 60p was too slow. A lot of my vids are done this way. www.scottwild.us
Did you think of fx6?
why not use 50fps (pal) with 1/100th shutter
Someone else brought that up! Wise move. But would still be awkward for music video use
You have no reason to justify what camera you want to use. They are not paying your bills. I am staying with the C70 because I am tied to Canon at this point. Will miss your C70 videos but wil still watch the Komodo videos because I like your style. Do you.
Oh def not justifying it lol!! Just sharing my findings to possibly help others with their decisions! And also hopefully educating some folks on reality lol
How are you tied to Canon? Your lenses will also work with Komodo.
@@robertm3951 yup yup! I got all RF! And the R5 which is perfection for my photo work
Just watched loads of your Video.. LOVE THIS SHIT hahahaha!!!! We all cheat on our cameras!!!
so at the end of the day... want to sell your C70 :)??
Yes! I have it posted for sell rn :)
@@cammackey what's the best way to contact you?
@@onebadassacrobat shoot me a DM on my IG @cammacky
You're really confused and confusing in the same time :)
Fuck that red is amazing. This didn't help me make a decision. Now I need to rent the red. Thanks for the info.
Hahaha I assume I jsut complicated things even more
Hilarious- i am watching talk yourself into the red because u want a red. Come clean. We will support you
Hahahah no no, I’m already sold. This video is just saying why.
