What would you miss the most about the C70s?
Definitly codecs! That's the most important factor for me, why i sticks to c70.
I would miss the autofocus... The autofocus on the C70 was great in my experience.
The image. It really does have an Arri look - a little soft perhaps but it is so kind to the human face. It makes everyone look attractive; so great for interviews.
Codecs, autofocus and NDs :D
Build in NDs.. the DGO sensor, 2x mini XLR + Jack in on the body and not a handle or extra dock of any king.
The C-log 2 and XF-AVC for small projects when you dont want to bother with the RAW workflow.
Auto focus is okay on the C70 and it helps a lot but only when you are alone on a shoot with two cameras.
I love that you still work with some of your long term clients! I have moved on from the type of work I started out doing but I still have those legacy clients that I dont want to let down and show up for every year.
I have always admired your talent, honesty and integrity. Looking forward to more content!
My Crystal Ball says you will go back to Canon with the C400. Multiple C400's. I ordered mine. Gonna part with one of my C70's and the R5c. Maybe in time sell the other C70 and go full C400 and keep a mirrorless for stills. So, 2 C400's are in your future. Mark my words. NOTHING worse than the disappointment of slightly out of focus video. Especially if you didn't catch it on set.
IF I were to still do corporate work or even more documentary work.. 100%. Doing so much more narrative work. I'm not sure yet. But two autofocus cameras would be really nice
I am so excited to hear that because I want the price of the used R5c(s) to come down so I can afford one!
Man, I appreciate the transparency you bring to the community! C70 over here, but I heavily depend on that AF for fashion shoots, so I cannot switch to a RED. C400 is tempting... but I will wait for the first image quality comparisons. Thanks buddy!
Your video was the first video in the “I quit” UA-cam craze a few months back lol. We know this even if most don’t… yet. But welcome back, I enjoyed your videos. Went with the S5iix after hands on with c70 and r5c. I just couldn’t justify the extra cost for the r5c or going back to speed boosters with the c70 vs the simplicity and codecs of the S5ii x. My only regret is that the l mount ecosystem is frustratingly young. Bit got what I needed and can’t imagine dealing with any other camera.
Hello Damien, I really like your channel, you have an excellent explanation. Red Komodo and C70 is great cameras.
Thanks so much, success ever!
The addition of a Lidar system would help with the Red's Auto focus issue.
I rely on the KX’s AF all the time but the key is with EF lenses. The AF was faster to acquire on the RF lenses but I also got the pulsing. The EF are slower to acquire, but once locked on they are far better at holding focus. I sold all of my RF glass and bought into the Sigma EF Art lenses for this reason. Now they are louder but with mic placement it’s a non issue.
well, I used the Sigma Art 35mm EF. Which adapter did you use?
My Meike ND adapter
Great seeing you at cinegear man
well technically we didn't see each other at cinegear :D. Where have you guys been?
@@damiencooper hahaha true, but fun to catch up nonetheless
I love my c70 and a lot of the reason for buying it was your channel! My only ask would be that it was full frame so that I could use the RF lenses to their maximum!
well, I really think the C400 is the perfect upgrade to the C70.
I miss how minimal the c70 is without rigging. It got annoying when having to rig it up so that's one reason why I went to the kx. But when you need something super minimal you can't go wrong with the c70. After selling the c70, I could see adding a c400 at some point- if the work required it
100% with you
I would like to get at least one Red Komodo X for myself to see if it would blend in with my 2 Sony Cameras A 7 S 3 & A7 R V for which i use already Red Lut’s. Because tge Sony Colors leave me feeling unsatisfied.
dude how did you know about my gym membership? 5 years exactly and I can count on 1 hand how many times I've been...😂😂😂
I don't use the cameras professionally, but agree with all your points. Had the C70 then got s35 V Raptor. Love the image from the camera and red code raw. Hate the file size, weight, and rigging needed. Love the camera though. What the C70 can deliver in the those small size is amazing. So also interested to see the c400.
I found myself transcoding red raw to hevc for long term archive and haven't noticed any huge difference. The key is that I need to make all my white balance and exposure adjustments in the node and not the raw tab in resolve.
@@howardtownsend2574 yeah that works. But it's too many extra steps in my opinion
@@damiencooper agree
Man, go git you a C70. Along with that 40 you're diggin'. So all us C70 Canon Folk can enjoy the hell out of your dynamic posts...
Hey Damian, I saw the new video notification and title, and I knew I wanted to check it out. As a RED DSMC2 Dragon 6K owner, as well as a C70 and R5C owner, I am considering upgrading something. Like you, I still do more commercial gigs, and whenever I can, I always use my C70 over the RED for the same reasons you expressed. I use the RED for other types of content like wildlife documentaries, but the weight and necessary accessories put the whole system in a place where the only reason to use it is for R3D. This got me thinking if I might need something like the Komodo or Komodo X.
I’m glad I watched the video until the end because you mentioned something about the new C400, which got me very curious. I saw your other videos about it, but in my opinion, the C400 seems inferior to the C70 in terms of sensor specs not resolution, i do see a advantage when it comes to the actual body. Like I said, I watched your previous video about the C400, but I’m curious to hear your thoughts from a technical perspective and also how you would fit it into your workflow, which is very similar to mine.
well the sensor and image quality will be something we will have to look at when the camera is actually out! But it will be a really close call I think
What sensor specs ?
C400 is good for full frame and maybe low light but it does not have Dgo which is huge in low light and in daylight
@@creativegreatsvisuals Yes, it has TGO (Triple Gain Output) 800, 3200, 12800. Not trying to convince anybody because I would NEVER buy a Canon product.
@@cogmission1 yea but in test it shows more artifacts than the c70 in low light
Damien, would you mind sharing 3 specs about your post workstation? Motherboard, graphics card and how much RAM please? I need to build one to handles 8k 14-bit ProRes, lots of oversampling to 4k in Resolve. THANKS.
No workstation. M1 MAX MacBook Pro with 64gb ram
Sounds like you need to switch to the C400.
Quick question- do you miss using a two-camera setup? Do you get projects where you need a cam B? I have an FX6 and FX3 package for most corporate work, but I'm still looking for a cheap way to match the Komodo-X if I ever need to.
If I were to do more multi camera shoots I would 100% want a dual cam setup again. As of right now my first AC has a Komodo so I can just rent it with him for a shoot. As for these one camera shoots I found that a good zoom lens really goes a long way...
@@damiencooper Thank you!
C400 the Nikomodo killer. 🤓
Just get a rental manager and play poker full time!
the c400 though...
Hey can you add the subtitle from UA-cam because I am Deaf. Thx
Will do when I’m home
@@damiencooper Thank you and please msg me when done. So I can watch it. Thx
What's with the unreliable AF on the Red Komodo? According to their website the camera has phase detect AND contrast AF. Usually a phase detect system knows exactly where the focus point is. So I wonder... Is phase detect used to get in the ballpark followed by contrast detect AF for precision focusing? That would explain the camera's behavior but why would you do it that way when you have phase detect? Hearing of these micro-jitter is actually a bit frustration because most reviewers say that the Komodo's AF is solid...
I cannot wait to finally have widespread adoption of ProRes RAW, with a solid technical implementation, and cameras recording it internally. Just the hardware acceleration alone would make it such a great proposition compared to REDCODE. 🤩
I rely on the KX’s AF all the time but the key is with EF lenses. The AF was faster to acquire on the RF lenses but I also got the pulsing. The EF are slower to acquire, but once locked on they are far better at holding focus. I sold all of my RF glass and bought into the Sigma EF Art lenses for this reason. Now they are louder but with mic placement it’s a non issue.
What do u mean once locked on ? You mean u turn on continuous auto focus then once in focus you switch to manual to lock on ? Because with moving shots the continuous auto focus and the rf glass works better on c70 in my opinion
@@creativegreatsvisuals No I don't mean that. I mean once the box finds your face it's more sticky than with RF lenses. And Damien is talking about the AF of the KX not the C70 in this case. But, if you are doing a talking head like Damien was doing, via the app you could do that. You could use AF to find your face, and then turn the system off once it did.
@@BrandonTalbot sorry about that my error you did mention Komodo x . so do you feel Komodo x hunts more with the rf glass ?
@@creativegreatsvisuals I do yes. But that’s having used the 15-35, 50 1.2, 16 2.8, and 70-200f4, so I haven’t used All of the RF glass.
